On June 28, 1991, MYSTIC QUEST (re-released as ADVENTURES OF MANA in 2016) was released in Japan for the Game Boy. Here's a memorable quote from the first of the beloved Mana series.
"SEE YOU SOMETIME, KID...."
Marcie, a mummy-seeking robot, resides in Dime Tower of the sands of Ish. After battling Garuda at the tower, the structure begins to crumble, destroying the bridge to the castle in the process. Marcie has a plan to throw the hero to the other side and follow him across using its rockets. However, once the hero is safely across, the robot confesses that it can't operate outside the tower and disappears into the sands along with the tower.
The three titles of the Mana series―MYSTIC QUEST, SECRET OF MANA, and TRIALS OF MANA―are available in COLLECTION OF MANA for Nintendo Switch™!
TRIALS OF MANA, a complete, action-RPG remake of the third entry in the Mana series, will be released at the beginning of 2020 for Nintendo Switch™, PlayStation®4, and STEAM®! Check out the official site for details!
