Best VGM 1014 - Secret of Mana - Meridian Dance

[plebman182]

I love this tune but this is not from Secret of Mana

[Joshawotter]

Best soundtrack in the history of video games.

[IOmegadUrMom]

I beat this game on Virtual Console, and left it on the final scene. Every now and then I play it and let the music go.

[mahboi1889]

The SPC700 was one heck of a sound processor!

[Boyce18]

Classic song!! One of the best in the 90s!! I can still clearly see the GIGANTIC Mana Beast sprite coming slowly up in the screen on this awesome theme!!! OMG!! What an ending!

[Meenners]

Mana Sword Sprinkles GO!

[zak832]

That bass is so badass.

[philip0544]

dat BASS

[BenBenjiro]

woah, didn't hey use a similar track in Seiken Densetsu 3? I must admit I never got this far in SoM / SD2

[IndigoUnnatural]

@BenBenjiro Yeah. I know what you're talking about. It's titled "Nuclear Fusion"

[RedMageWolfe]

@BenBenjiro The intro theme of SD3 is a remix of this called "Meridian Child". But you might be thinking of one of the boss battle themes...

[Kimjongil3000]

epic ending to an epic game

[grandfire]

The music from Secret of Mana was excellent not just because of the tracks themselves, but how flawlessly they blended in with the area you were exploring or boss you were fighting. This track is no exception.

[strugglepoo]

This tune is absolutely flawless from beginning to end.

[sergi64]

One of the best moments o the best bame EVER (at least for me). I've got this melody on my phone too, xD

Continue like this, SupraDarky!

The start sounds quite similiar^^ (Dragonball Z Opening Theme)

[sethhh7]

i love this game and its music, great to see it here.

[KenoguLabz]

Symphonic Fantasies touched on this briefly in their 'Final Boss' encore. It was magnificent. The full Secret of Mana arrangement, in particular, was altogether outstanding, and really made me realize how incredible this soundtrack is. Phantom and a Rose, Into the Thick of It, Angel's Fear... all powerful in their own way. Kikuta, you brilliant genius! We need more from you!

[thatsadorbs]

i always wondered why the music from this game stood out from the rest. Whenever i think of snes music i think of this game, so amazing!

[tttc]

I havn't completed Secret of Mana yet. IIRC my last save is in Pure Land, or w/e it is called. Still have the cartridge and the console, maybe I should complete it.

[BrainElixir]

0:56 - 1:29 HHHHHHHHHHSO GOOD

[diamondlancer]

Great final boss song!

[philip0544]

OMG yes. your list has been severely lacking this song for so long now. AMAZING choice

[arcticfox04]

I recently just beat SoM with 2 friends doing 3 Player. We all take 2 days off of work and have a 4 day weekend of just old school gaming. Fun times.

[thatsadorbs]

i remember watching my brother beat this game and when he got to this part it was so exciting. SoM has such good memories for me.

[Amelyssan1]

The snare bass on this is incredible! What a rhythm to save the world to. You can really hear aspects of this similar to other tracks in the game, but this one is still one of the most unique and memorable boss themes ever made. There was a really neat version of this redone, if you search for Aether - Meridian Dance, it's really quite a beautiful rendition.

[WhiteVII]

Threads of Fate nao plx? :[

[PAVGN]

YES! It took a long time, but this finally got included. This is easily one of the best final boss themes ever. Up there with the final boss themes from Final Fantasy 4 and Mario & Luigi 3.

[Arc13]

Not sure if you still do requests, but after hearing it, I'm certain you've played Portal 2, but I gotta suggest Cara Mia, whether you put it up or not.

A beautiful track that translates to have much meaning toward the game, and even the scene is simply awe inspiring.

Not saying you've gotta upload it or anything, just hope you can recognize this and at the very least check it out if you have not.

[RedMageWolfe]

I don't really like SoM (I think SD3 is better in every way) but I'll be damned if it didn't have incredible music...

[seikeninho]

Makes me want to play the game all over again...for the 12th time or so.

[SMRPGFAN101]

The only thing that pissed me off here was the way the boss died. It looked so corny with the mode 7 effects. That and I was greatly overlevelled which made for a laughable fight, but that was me. The rest was awesome.

[vicisanti]

First! :P

[Sephiko]

@vicisanti Off by one second, ouch.

[vicisanti]

@Sephiko Second place isn't bad :)

[paddyrapp]

I remember reaching the end of this game as a kid. And most of the music in it always makes me wanna go back and play it again

[SupraDarky]

The final boss in this game was very memorable. The music was awesome, I had a hard time beating it as a kid, I thought the final boss was Flammie and the overall presentation of the fight was unique, with the Mode 7 graphics and all.

[Griflion]

@SupraDarky You were not the only one who taught so. Don't blame us for our stupidness as kids :P

[coryiscooler]

@SupraDarky Pleas upload the over-world theme from Final Fantasy IV! :D
