Secret of Mana
Hello
OK i rename the topic as "Mana Runs", we can speak about SD1/2/3, SD4/5 are on news consoles.
My next run is always an big improve of the first run of Secret of Mana, i am planning to do under 4H30 with always the same conditions ( played alone-PAL-and the same segments ( i save in the same locations ) ).
This time it will be impressive
I just played a little with SD1 ( FFA/MQ ) :
For this game, there are 2 bigs matters :
-All the text : you press the button for to have a fast text, but you have to repress the button for to go to the next text, so if you don't know when the text will stop on each case, you lose pathetically 0.5s each time, total lost time isn't giant, but that's pathetic to watch in a speed run.
In fact you need to learn the full minimum text to read for to complete the game
-The other matter : like i said in my author's comments for the fight against Tropicallo in the SD2 run, zone damage is random with each monster ( for the monster and for you ), so a single segment can be too hard. To do a few segments is interressant because you can save on each case.
For SD3, i definitely don't have enough knwoledge for to do a run.
However, after to do the new SD2 run, perharps ( as for as i'm concerned, i don't know who exactly want to do what with SD3 ) with your tricks i can do something, in fact, that's the same gameplay with SD2, and i know the maps, but don't have any tricks for to speed run the game.

The 2 biggest matters for my new run will be the fight against the 2 werewolfs when you meet Purim (a) and the fight against the Mana Beast (b).
a-)That's just i need a huge luck before to fight them, then i need a new time a huge luck, they must have a good initial position like in my trailer ( and not like in my 5h15 run ). In fact just a question of time.
And i need to keep the Sprite alive, with EXP SPikey Tigger+2 Werewolfs+Lizard he will have more than 8 MP ( i need 10 MP for the fight agaisnt the first Giga, and if the Sprite dies against the 2 werewolfs he has only 9 MP and even if he has 10 MP by defeating the monsters ion the earth palace, it remains a matter because 9MP=only 4 spells Freeze each time so total nights with INN become higher, that's a catastroph )
b-) Just need a better luck, in fact a new time a huge luck, i have to kill this bastard in 3 or 4 cycles, not really like in the 5h15 run, it will be the biggest improve if you consider here only time skipped.
If you watch my 5h15 run :
I will try to do a perfect way each time i use Flammy, direction isn't really the true matter, just that's hard to go on the destination when you already begin to go down before that.
Part 1
Don't take the coffre in your house
Don't go in the shop to gaia level ( i'll buy candy with the swindler just before the fight against Spikey Tigger )
Sword must be L1 for the fight against Tropicallo.
-)Just kill a few rabbits on the very first way ( always 2 or 3 in the same time ), you need 2 hits per rabbit ( -18HP per hit ) and 4 hits for the monsters ( or 3 with higger level ) which i kill in the room where you find the artifact.
So i go to sword L1 with defeating 1 time the 2 monsters of the room of the artifact and defeating the rabbits ( rabbits : 0.09*10=0.90 and the monsters in the room with the articfact : 0.90+0.09+0.09=1.00).
So i don't use any medical thing against Tropicallo and i can die with 2 bombs or 1 bomb+1 hit of the little bug, so i will wait the perfect fight.
Part2
Fight against Spikey Tigger : this time i just have to skip a hit.
Use teleportation for to move out the castle.
I will improve much time with the robot #1 ( news tricks for to abuse of the AI ).
Better run in the cave where you find Flammy.
Part3
Better run in the sewers and at the ruins #2 + remove the spam matter with the Wall #2.
No mistakes at the castle of the emperor.
Improve much time with the first slime ( boss of the Dark Palace ).
Part4
No stupid decision just before the 2nd boss of the Gold Tower ( when Randi is burning ) + skip the mistake with this 2nd boss ( if Randi wasn't burning this 2nd boss shouldn't had the time to moved ).
I keep the Mana level up just because i had to do it later so if i do in this easy part i don't have to re-do it in the Part5 with a ton of restarts. I am sure my spells trainings are all minimums.
To try a perfect suicide against the 3 clones is too dangerous, but sure this time it will be really better.
Part5
Less mistakes.
Hum, if you go up the stairs ( with sword charged L1 ) for to go on interruptor, it doesn't work, don't you ?
No way to improve the MP sucking with Mech Rider 3, just because he has a random MP initial to suck, and if i don't suck enough, he does the spell "Wall"...
Part6
It will be the hardest part, i want really to do a great segment here. I have a few ideas, but actually too confused. The way of the 5h15 run witout any mistakes ( 0 hit except spells of boss while sprite is spamming these boss, with the trick you can see in the run ).
Part7
I'll try the perfect training with perfects alterations of index...
Actualy i don't know if i will but 2X greats armors ( 65500 GP ) with the swindler at the Tree Palace ( if i don't buy them i just don't go a new time to the Tree Palace, don't need in fact the item which costs 200 GP ).
Part8
I will accept to lose a few secondes against Dark Lich with animation of Freeze 8+ which ruins the spam, if after that i have an excellent fight against the Mana Beast in 3/4 cycles.
