Sword of Mana is an enhanced remake of the original Game Boy game Seiken Densetsu, which was released as Final Fantasy Adventure in North America and Mystic Quest in Europe. This remake was released on the Game Boy Advance in 2003. At the beginning of the game, the player is able to choose to play as the male lead or as the female lead, both of whom are named by the player. They each have a different quest, however the plot remains similar.

Notably, the remake adapted many elements from the original game, which had their origin in Final Fantasy and favored elements traditional to Mana games (for example, the chocobo was replaced by Cannon Travel). One notable exception to this are moogles, which do appear in the game. Sword of Mana was made to resemble the graphical style of Seiken Densetsu 3, but the artwork rather resembles that of Legend of Mana.

Glitches

Easy

Weapon/Magic Levels
Even if you do 0 damage, the game will still allow you to raise your weapon/magic levels. To raise a weapon/magic level easily, find an enemy that is not vulnerable to the type of damage the weapon or magic causes (The Popoi's Notebook in the ring menu has information about this). Repeatedly hit it. Your weapon/magic level will rise as though you are causing damage.

Heal dead allies
If your ally is dead, simply save at a Mana statue. Then heal him with an Angel Grail. Go to another room and get killed by monsters and you'll end up back at the statue, with your ally alive. Check your inventory: it'll say you didn't use an Angel Grail at all!

Hit Twice With Bow!
This glitch may be hard at first, but after a while it will come naturally. Just equip the Bow and get very close to whatever you want to attack, then attack. If done correctly, it should hit the enemy twice, once when it was being pulled into the Bow, and again when it was released!

Level up spirits fast
Every time you deal damage to a creature (even 0) you stun them and you gain magic Exp. during that stun time you cannot hurt them, so even if you are using the Knucks to cast spells you can only hurt them 3 times max. But that doesn't happen with bosses, so feel free to abuse them with magic that they are immune to and watch how fast your level increases!

Secrets

Black Enemies
By killing 1000 of the same variety of monsters (eg: Kill 1000 Rabbits), you will permanently replace that monster with a new, Black version of it. The Black versions of monsters are a lot stronger and tougher than their regular counter-parts, but have a relatively good chance of dropping Crystal Ores which can be used for forging. When a monster turns black it'll get +500 HP and +100 on the other stats.

Chocobo Scene
To see a brief sequence involving a chocobo, wait five minutes after the ''Fin'' screen appears when you complete the game. After the scene, the game will go back to the title screen.

Niccolo's Secret Items
The wandering salesman Niccolo sells more than just regular items and his two special accessories. After you have made 251 separate purchases--you must exit from the purchase screen and re-enter to make it a separate purchase--he will open up a new area in his ring called ''Special.'' Here you can buy forging material (i.e. woods, irons, etc.) and more accessories.
