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.
