Secret of Mana Music: Boss Fight

[xRedEyesJounouchix]

This fucking song still get me creep out from the start of the boss battle!

[GamerLink5]

Is it weird that the first thing i think of when i hear this music is "machine gun is firing, duck"

[alexion031]

lol top comments 1 year old

[KoreanShrimp]

1:15 CAST MAGIC CAST MAGIC CAST MAGIC CAST MAGIC

[ThePuppetMaster69]

I remember fight against the first Tiger. I lost 4 times!

[MysticOzz]

@ThePuppetMaster69 lol same here! SPIKEY is amazingly hard to beat

[Marinanor]

Taking a crap to this song is the most awesome thing I"ve ever done!

[DJFrosted]

6 people have a never-ending loop of this in their heads

[saintsinna]

@avidgames91091 Just because some games are more action and visual oriented and more mainstream doesn't make them crap. You can like the classics and enjoy newer games too.

Unless your an eletist snob or something. And you're not one of those, right?

[avidgames91091]

@saintsinna of course not, i'm just seeing that games are just lacking originality now unlike in the 80's, 90's and early 00's. there are some good new games out there.

[saintsinna]

@avidgames91091 Well, that's because in the past where games weren't more mainstream less money went into making them meaning that less return had to be made on an investment. Shameless cash grabs are a bit necessary since it takes so much to make a game nowadays. Just look at the ending credits of an old game and a new one. New ones go on forever, and all of those people needed to be paid. Plus thinking up something completely innovative isn't easy, most things have been done already.

[realw0rld]

@avidgames91091

Ironicially, Secret of Mana is Anime Style. As is Final Fantasy.

I don't think any (J)Role-Playing Game game is bad because of it's art style.

[Northstar691]

Oh god I need to buy a SNES and play this game!

[Gilmoreboy2007]

@Northstar691 You can download this on Virtual Console on the Wii if it makes things easier for you.

[earthwolf82]

Spiky Tiger!

[VGMusicCenter]

Secret of Mana will always hafta battle chrono trigger and ff3 for SNES supremacy but moving around during combat was definitely unique for RPGs at the time

[musashi7272]

The soundtrack of this game is versatile.

[SilvaNadal]

1:14 is definitely the best part

[mopbrothers]

I know a lot of people will probably dislike me for this, but I think this is kind of a crappy boss battle theme. Too repetitive and a little gay (especially the begining).

[gwalchafed]

that should be my ringtone for my girlfriend

[tom5coat]

@gwalchafed

cause she's frightening?

[gwalchafed]

@tom5coat no because she is the last enemy :P it is a joke :o

[tom5coat]

@gwalchafed ah lol

[aLLtimEgameR123]

The wall with eyes was such a pain in the ass to kill w/o magic.

[LadyAvrilLavigne]

best boss music period.

[shark235235]

@LadyAvrilLavigne Are you serious??? Obviously this must be the only game you've ever played!

[LadyAvrilLavigne]

@shark235235 i've played lots of games thank you, been playing games since super mario bros. on the original nintendo. all the way up to the ps2/gamecube/xbox consoles. and while all the games i've played have had awesome soundtracks ex: final fantasy 6, chrono trigger, and link to the past. to name a few, but i've always found this to be the best normal boss music. though ff6's boss fight music is a very close second, how many games have you played and finished? i'd say i've beaten 100 at least

[bigman495]

This song sounds like the musical equivalent of confusion.

[dexterme]

this needs a metal remix

[Diamhea]

lol @ the double-bass drumming

[PieLover425]

This game had the most creavtive and amazing bosses! they were the biggest thrill whenever you encountered one

[Makuru]

@PieLover425 And they were actually challenging, compared to the easy stuff we have in rpgs nowadays.

[PieLover425]

this song has some intense drums!

[kanachan398]

chain magic attacks are the best

[OnePunch89]

This song comes to mind when I'm stuck in traffic and need to take a killer shit.

[princedarienlover]

This theme really gets your adrenaline going

[consolate1]

I love 1:14 - 1:35 the best. 1:35 - 1:45 is the second best part.

[shinjason]

when i first played this game and this music started playing, i knew i was fucked, i then turned off the game and hid in my closet in fear of the monster and its dreadful music, then i shit myself. i love secret of mana.

[BroedgeMan]

I must admit I think the part till 0:43 is okay

at 0:44 it's gets pretty intressting

and at 1:15 it rocks your soul and makes you beat this boss!!!

[KnucklestheechidnaII]

@BroedgeMan agree with you this is one of the best boss battle themes ever

[jakethecruel]

second favorite game of all time

[H0VA]

@jakethecruel What is your favorite? (I had to ask_

[jakethecruel]

@H0VA super mario bros 3. first game i ever played. (i was about 5)

[H0VA]

@jakethecruel Haha not bad at all.. although I am glad to see you are fan of Secret of Mana... I never QUITE beat it in terms of crushing the mana dragon.. but I was a big fan of Thanatos.. Come to think of it I feel like Beating this game again, Secret of Mana 2 (english translated), and Secret of Evermore!! I can't think of anymore similar games except Terranigma or something like that lol.

[Terrorteckel]

Damn it, I loved that game... still have it around, as well as my old SNES... *grins*

I think I know what I'll do this afternoon... Hell, it's about time! xD

[keatonew]

Spikey tiger... DAMN YOU

[myneoneo123]

if you listen to 1:36 to 1:47 it doesnt sound like a boss theme at all

[OnePunch89]

First boss killed me like 4 times first play through. Kills me atleast once even now, whys the bastard so damn hard?!

[SonShadowGohan]

1:37

[acidbath32]

kirikinton fox is insane..

[mectroid]

i loved how the first boss you fight in this game almost dances and fights to the beat of this

[VenomLeon]

i've always found the Demon Wall the coolest boss, but without having Gnome at a high level, he can kill you!

[Drekora]

@VenomLeon Demon Wall was definitely frustrating to deal with

[ViskASC]

kirikinton fox did a great guitar cover to this, guy is spot on.

[Gattereau]

im gonna sample this for a beat im making "one of my favorite video games, actually my favorite"

[orkamera83]

I played this game when i was young and i will never forget it... One of the best games ever so simple and yet so capting!!!

[flikkerflash]

i never got to fight the bosses because my friend would spam magic so fast i could barely do anything

[jdmack84]

Crossroadsinc, very true,

[BassPlayerQueen21]

i love this game i finished so many times with my sis

[Zouizid]

DAMN 24.11.1994 :D <3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3

[LexLight1]

25-11-94 was the date when my brother was born! :D

[Crossroadsinc]

I swear to god, I ALWAYS Seemed to kill bosses when the music was at 1:35, Everytime

[kinneas]

@Crossroadsinc Hahahaha samers!

[BastivanDero]

@Crossroadsinc you could enjoy it more, by not using magic or weapon charges :)

[WSilva832]

@Crossroadsinc whoa... me too. Nice observation. 

[enetick]

i remember i was like really really young like 4 or 5 with my dad then all of the sudden the first boss with high volume lol

[lortabs420]

I hear this when I'm being bitched at by my evil parents.

[WhoxisxIlevakam]

@lortab420 that must be very terrifying

[Wallyg92]

@lortabs420 lmfao

[skater819]

@lortabs420 omg what is wrong with you

[MigratoryEagle]

@lortabs420 OMG I don't know why but I just bust out laughing so hard.

[kikr912]

Chrono Trigger, Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy, Kingdom Hearts, and a bunch of associations with Nintendo make Square/Square Enix the best RPG makers and best overall franchises ever.

[Knerdzilla]

The first couple of times I heard this song I'd freak out xD When you're a 7 or 8 year old like I was, this music did NOT help the stress of beating a boss.

[BrutalnEpic]

childhood nintendo <333

[Superarkboy2]

oh fuck FIREMUTANT XD

[oOspaddlOo]

You know what's funny? I alway tried to delay the end of a boss fight, so I could listen to the awesome music at 1:15 and 1:35

SoM 4-ever <3

[nastynate3163]

SO EPIC! I love the drums in this song so much.

[GebtMirHirne]

This song does fuckin kick ass!

Started to play Secret of Mana again a few days ago. That game is just awesome.

[skilletrock99]

They should bring this to 3D, i would like that very much

[DemonOfTheSkies]

As long as they dont blow it, a remake would be very nice.

[LjusNiSSE]

and ruin the whole feeling? no thanks.. it won't happen they are smarter then that

[LounginApe]

I could really use my little piss ant friend's help right now, instead of him cryin' in a corner. Shoulda ran him through with the sword after i beat the mantis

[Ian2forget]

the double bass in this is insane!

i like how no matter how screwed you are 1:15 - 2:00 makes you think you can do it lol

[gawreluck]

lol so true

[ArtGirl204]

Best boss fight music ever....

This music brings back so many memories!

[Devast8ion]

As much as I like most of the music of Chrono Trigger, it actually has some really lame boss music and uber-boss music. ALL of Mana's music is good.

[xXALPHAXx7]

secret of mana i never never forget you ♥

[DeDaDoDu]

BEST.GAME.EVER!

[darkkyosukecrono]

Great Song,this makes you want to fight to the bitter end!!!

Thanks for the upload ^_^

5/5

[daphzart]

oh man here comes the nostalgia

[KaiserVadin]

the cure for that is listen to redneck music lol

[jmsimpson11]

aphex twin should remix this ahaha.

[xXAspennXx]

lol DDR would kick ass with this song...

[N00dl3z]

1:15 has allway been my favorite tune is this game

[AwesomeTankBros]

My personal favorite tactic against bosses was to spam the spells they were weak against. even at early levels, you could deal a massive amount of damage to bosses by Spell Stacking (this game is SO full of glitches yo. like for example you can revive someone with cure water if u cast it on them a second b4 they die.). Spell Stack on a boss enough times and it's hello 999 damage >:)

Spell Stacking is when you keep hitting a boss with spells b4 the previous spell's damage is deducted from the HP

[mopbrothers]

This battle theme sounds like a cross between Chrono Trigger and FF8's boss themes.

[mucasPARTSstudios]

Lol, when I was a little kid this song used to give me goosebumps, and would kinda scare me a bit.

Now when I hear it, it sounds like speed metal

[EtnaInNetherland]

Same here! I HATED it when I was little because it scared me SO much!

But now I love this song and it gives me so much nostsalgia

[linklover30]

wow you have all my favorite songs of gamess i played on the wii

[VenomLeon]

i hated the fact that you could get damaged twice before standing up on your feet again, especialy when it then said "(name) sees the reaper".. AAAHH! D:

but it's a track that can get you pumped up in the battle

[FloridaSteve]

@ Aeryos: it definitely was the hardest boss fight,because you didn't have any magic skills at that time....once you had, you just needed to smash the Y (or X-Button) in order to get into the menu again as quick as possible, pick a spell with no urgency and then let the mana beasts decide the thing for you ;)

[golbezchaoslord]

ex when a boss really has no weakness vs magic or has a high level wall and Ur shade magic is too low to dispel.

[BladeMaverick]

I loved this song when I played this...and yeah the song is kinda off on here, its all in the left ear of my headset. 1:14 onward makes it definitely different than it was in the beginning xD

[Squaw260591]

this song still makes me nervous :D just hearing it on youtube ;P used to play it as a child and the song still scares the crap out of me xD

[TranceCore3]

Haha. Boss battles should always sounds like this!

[silentassultsquad]

omg amen trance

and squaw you should go bak to playing it

me and my brother play it once all the way thruough every year it brings back such good memorys

[Aeryos]

Og god!! fighting the third boss (tigror?) was one off the hardest moment in this game, and this music is just so perfect,.

It kept me really concetrated and tensed up %)

[HHog]

My fav bit of the song has to be from 1:14 onward. Then when 1:36 kicked in I always got the feeling that the fight might be over, until 1:46 started and the rush began all over again until the boss actually WAS dead. =P

[slangman89]

Is it just me or does the music not sound right on this video?

[Phearbomb]

There's some major kickass remixes of this on newgrounds, too. This original one still has a certain charm that none can match though xD

[OtakuQ4aMi]

unconsciousness sucks :/

[taylataaay]

This music gave me gray hairs as a kid.

[boxant]

Takes me back!

Loved this game :D

[BallsInYourJawsBitch]

God, nearly makes me tear up. Life was so much better back then.

[Wii4a11]

lol as a kid i danced to this

[Melyne]

LOL! awesome xD

[Cajun90]

OH SHIT! when I hear this music i tense up.

[curst666]

@Cajun90 hahahaha straight up!

[TubeofDestiny]

even today, when I hear one second of this music I have an adrenaline rush, ready to fight !

I never thought a video game could mark me for life like that, holy shoop'dah'woop ! O_O

[TubeofDestiny]

problem with the stereo too

best game/rpg ever, I always played that game with my bro', and as a kid, even if the bosses were easy, this music frightened me like hell, I was like "omfg we're screwed, this is the end !" :D

[nyn78]

Are there more people who would like the drums-tab ? It might be an idea to write it out (or just play this), but I'll only do it with some help. I love this as well, loads of adrenaline!

[JuStOpHelia16]

Your so right 1:15-1:35 is the best pas of the song it's like kick his ass you wining yeah common

[Aliensoldier]

whats the name of this song ?

sorry

and i love oracle!

[animeasskicker]

That's exactly what I thought when I played that game when I was a kid.

[Papierflieger]

Is there something wrong with the channels?

Listend with Stereo!

[blackshadow148]

LOL i love this song the last part sounds like a pokemon battle theme!!!

[MaidenFan24568]

i love the drum track 4 this.

[bmalone05]

Fire gigas

[Nasrudin06]

Gotta love the slapping bass!

[MaidenFan24568]

I love the drums to this, im actually trying to incorporate the drums into a song but cant find a tab for it anyway, plz reply with a link if u know

[xpeachy123x]

this brings back so many memories. I love this song!

[Trapster2]

Why is most of the music in the left speaker?

[Mattheidiot]

1 of my favorite songs from the game

[louman84]

in case no one has mentioned it yet, this clip only has the left or right channel of the song. I don't remember the song sounding weird like this.

[gothicjinnlax17]

Does anyone know the actually name of this song, and if there are any available remakes of it out on the web?

[mrallstar2]

"danger"

[speyeker]

This has always been a childhood favourite of mine. Over ten years ago I was scouring the internet trying to find even just a MIDI of it (because back then finding the real thing seemed out of the question). It's no worse for wear after all these years--it's still an absolutely outstanding song.

[princedarienlover]

The middle of this song is kick ass but after the first few seconds it gets even better, I remember fighting bosses like the ant,spikey, and the plant guy in the under ground cave where you get the axe, and when I see the boss I'm all like *Stomps a mudhole in boss's ass and walks it dry*Sit down!

[mrgrayf0x]

This song makes you think, "Oh shit!! The boss, how do we fight it?!?!"

It's so fastpaced and filled with quick decisiveness!

[morelltechyahoocom]

hahaha...thats exactly the feeling i had as a kid playing this. lol

[PigPillow]

I was more like..."AHSGHAHSGAAAAAAH!!! *PANIC PANIC PANIC*"

Until that "heroic part" comes in, thats when you get to feel like a superhero :D

[Hawelo92]

Spam magic and stop whining! :D

[princedarienlover]

*Stomps a mudhole in the bosses ass then walks it dry*

[EnkerZero]

My favorite part was 1:15-1:35.

[tlitachi]

Same here, it's like a boss fight starting bad but then things get better

[Chupithingy]

Agreed...That part rocks!

[SwordmasterCrails]

jeah^^

[mirasame]

It really gets your blood pumping when you're playing this game to hear those 20 seconds.

[MrBlub]

@EnkerZero

Yeah man this Pumps you Up if you where down XD better then any drug ^^

[nondweller]

as soon as i hear this song i picture the boss at the witches castle. the one that is a tiger/armadillo and eats you if you get to close

[mariomasterdustin]

yeah that was a pain me and my friend beat that boss a few days ago

[princedarienlover]

I've always loved this theme

[SuperKibbles]

Wow. I haven't played this classic in years... Kudos, to 'constantlimit' for posting it.

[dschultz6072]

DANGER

[GhostInSno]

someone should do a rocked out version of this! i'd buy that cd.. probably

[silverlunastar39]

check out kurikinton fox. HOLY SHIT, does that guy rock out.

[kingmanto]

le bon vieux temps...une musique classique même dans 50 ans...

[brownangel55555]

this song is so awsome that im going to put it on while ill do the sweet love with my wife! Keep on rocking!!

[edrammeh]

lmao that is fresh!

[silentassultsquad]

as weird as that was and the fact i really didnt need to know that i agree rguardless

this i my fav boss theme for all the seiken deisetsu games

[KayneArcheron]

I cannot listen to this song with a straight face anymore

[RockaGrand]

thank you very much for the upload! I love this song and have yet to been able to purchase it via OST or something.

[huskobon]

I love this song so much. It's my favorite boss music.

[homerosim14]

mana es lo mejor

[Terrorteckel]

Whoah... that song rocks xD

My favourite music during the whole game!

[FoulPlay001]

This music = Equip The Mana Sword, Restore All Magic, Use analysis then attack it with all it's weaknesses.

[xceedchaos]

Hear this music ---> You're f***ed now

[Gregory2590]

1:15-1:35 is the winner.

[TheKICster]

thank you. I couldn't seem to find this music on vgmusic.

[speyeker]

The song's called "Danger". Even if you could find it on VGMusic, it'd only be a crappy MIDI--this is the real thing (albeit low quality), so it's much better.

[BLOOURN]

thx..though i think i liked the song when you're fighting thanatos better =O

[Gehorges]

here we go^^

[nounnoun]

Rather belatedly, someone has finally uploaded the songs from the best RPG on the SNES: The Secret of Mana! Constantlimit, I venerate you!

[devilboy666x]

I need this song! where can I download it?

[gimmikhimself]

@Devil: You can download this song and pretty much every other SoM song at secretofmana.planets.gamespy(d­ot)com.

Fantastic Secret of Mana website.

[devilboy666x]

OMG that was so helpful thank you so much ^_^

[gimmikhimself]

@devilboy: Glad I could help.
