Trials of Mana

Trials of Mana (, Seiken Densetsu Suri, "Legend of the Sacred Sword 3") is the third video game in the Mana series developed by Square Co., Ltd. under the direction of series creator Koichi Ishii. Larger and more complex than the previous installment for the Super Famicom (Secret of Mana), the game takes place in a new world where, once again, the Mana Tree is under threat from an ancient evil thought sealed away. Players choose three from among six heroes as the chosen wielder of the Mana Sword and their two companions on the journey to claim the holy blade and preserve what remains of mana power.

The game itself gained notoriety for its introduction of a class system as well as its difficulty and replayability when it was first released in 1995, drawing the interest of a team of dedicated fan-hackers led by Neil Corlett, after Nintendo reportedly refused to release an official English version for the SNES. The Corlett project was released in the year 2000. However, no further details in reference to the game were available for 16 years.
