I'm convinced that some of the best music ever has come from my Super Nintendo.

i quite like the secret of mana soundtrack. not as much as my brother, who has the opening theme played by a flautist at his wedding

man, I need another snes jrpg to get hooked on. sadly I've completed what I believe to be the best ones: Chrono, Earthbound and Ff6. Not sure I really got on with Mana,the text was hard to read and I didn't like the handling, plus the storyline felt a bit arbitrary but maybe I shod give it another shot

i got super into the seiken densetsu iii soundtrack, hiroki kikuta just got completely _into it_, like you can tell listening to it that this is music made by somebody who has given up on sleep

secret of mana is frustrating because it has an excellent soundtrack but kind of sucks as a game (partly because it apparently got gutted significantly during development, but still)

I really enjoyed it. I was about 9 and played the thing through on coop with my brother-he was main dude,I was the sprite

even Earthbound is really frustrating to me - fantastic music, writing, general atmosphere etc. but the gameplay itself is pretty mediocre and frustrating with weird difficulty spikes even by the standards of SNES RPGs

I love Chrono Trigger et al but all JRPGs are unbearable slogs to me nowadays

At one point when I was thinking about making a dark Super Mario World hack I made a youtube playlist of creepy, atmospheric, Super Nintendo tracks with a little bit of high-BPM boss music and "the journey will be tough but tonight we rest" songs.

(not snes, but mother 3 fixes a lot of the gameplay/tonal consistency issues)

Romhacking.net has a lot of Secret of Mana tweaks like equipment progression balance. If I ever attempt a play-through again I will probably use a few that are compatible. I have often started (on an emulator) and given up because I died a lot and I don't have time for that.
