Secret of Mana, known in Japan as Seiken Densetsu 2 (聖剣伝説2, Seiken Densetsu Tsū, lit. "The Legend of the Holy Sword 2"), is an action role-playing game for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System developed and published by Square in 1993. The game was re-released for the Wii's Virtual Console in 2008, and is to be ported to Japanese mobile phones in 2009. Secret of Mana is the (indirect) sequel to Final Fantasy Adventure for the Game Boy and the second installment in the Mana video game series.
