 Hello and welcome to the let's play of Star Trek 4 for Super Nintendo that was the Star Trek movie with the whales right actually it's Secret of Mana I just wanted to make a whale joke yeah this game is probably the best intro music the best title screen really of any Super Nintendo game if I had to pick one it's kind of a I don't even know what I would list for that yeah we get the slow reveal here panning up the darkness sweeps the troubled land as mana's power fades so anyway this game my brother bought this game I think like the same week it came out my older brother and paid like 60 bucks for it and he would not let me play it my brother was very possessive of his stuff well I mean I was five years younger than he was so was I am five years and he would not let me touch his frickin what wouldn't even let me play so of course when he leaves some place and I was home I take every opportunity I could to play this game and I never got very far when I was a kid but I have finished it a few times since then really badass look I mean that's just great looking the tree with the flamingos flying by can flamingos fly I'm pretty sure they can anyway to prove my what I'm saying yeah there's my brother's old save states he never got very far in this game that's what drove me nuts is that he would only play when he had a friend over and he played multiplayer and he refused to play with me of course because that wouldn't be cool my game save is at the bottom or my most recent one but we're gonna start a new game here and yeah I think there's only four things four spaces for a name oh never mind I'm wrong it's there's five anytime there's only four spots I go with Druge because it looks like I'm trying to spell drunk but I can't because I'm drunk I guess I'm not drunk yeah that probably will be I don't know how long I'm gonna play this game for I just wanted to play this game because the racquetboy forums have something called together RPG and every two months they pick a different old RPG to for everybody to kind of play along and post their thoughts of the game as they play in the thread and I thought it'd be fun this is one of my favorite games ever so it is very flawed but it is still one of my favorite games ever so I couldn't resist I just finished up Mega Man X2 I wanted to I guess I'll go back to Robotrack eventually but this game is just too good to pass up time flows like a river and history repeats I'm pretty sure everybody everybody that comes to that part has to read that part out loud and read it in like a dramatic like movie trailer voice over voice I think that's a rule I think that's they just passed that law it's a federal law in every country all over the world the oh Timothy Elliott's and Timothy how did they come up with those the old grandma grandma and her bullshit stories again and what a weenie I love this they like look at each other run away like who should let's get out of here all right so I fall harmlessly into this pond on these waterfalls and let's look for stuff where do I go going on here walk with purpose so yeah I always thought I remember when I first played Chrono Trigger I was like that's just the secret of Monogai hey wait a minute yeah secret of Monogai was Chrono before Chrono was Chrono in terms of design which cooler character hmm a handy dandy sword in a stone what are the odds what's that bear doing here now he's walking around sorry there's lots of inane references I make that's a very obscure space ghost coast to coast reference and speaking of ghosts that's not space ghost that's some guy who asked the sword yeah my my thoughts exactly huh you mean this sword no the one behind you and he dies oh that wasn't an instant that was a moment I take issue with the phraseology there the terms whatever anyway and here we go with the my favorite part of the game some whacking these frickin rabbites with an old rusty sword as this music plays I could do this for hours and I have when I first uh um played this game as a kid yeah you gotta cut the grass too obviously when I first played this as a kid I would just level I would grind by killing these things for hours and cut all the grass and cut all the bushes it took me and yeah you can also you know there's there's the 100% gauge thing at the bottom there obviously you're supposed to wait until it fills up to hit the thing to hit an enemy but you can spam attack them and do like two damage at a time out of desperation really if you're trying to get past an area and you're surrounded it's one strategy to implement the thing this game gets right is the sound design like from the music to like the sound of killing an enemy to the sound of the sword swinging to the sound of the sword cutting grass and like that little like whoop sound like the presentation here and just the colors and just every little thing this game gets totally right and yeah I'd get to like weapon skill level 4 just hanging out here for hours and hours um let me get this treasure here and I love the little animation he does and he like you can't just open a treasure you have to like throw it on the ground and bust it open that's just great I love it and you hear something rattling in it when you when you're shaking it around there's another one just off limits I guess I should have stayed out of there I just love the sound here candy alright um but we'll get to the flaws this game has eventually I don't think I'm going to play this for very long for let's play purposes just because it's kind of yeah see you can just spam the hell out of these things and you'll eventually rack up zeros damage hits, damage points hey I leveled up already um let's cut the grass I have to cut the grass when I see the grass it needs to be cut I'm not just some of it it needs to be all of it and then you frolic hehehe anyway um yeah the flaws in this game are numerous I'm sad to say it's not to say I don't like it doesn't ruin the game for me for many people it's just some people get upset when you point out stuff that's like not 100% you know it's like no game is perfect but I get people hating on me for saying I guess I was kind of harsh in my review of this game um I didn't mean to come across that way because uh I really do like it a lot uh oh me that's not good let's hide hehehe um out of the way I guess I was a little hard on this game when I was in my video for it didn't mean to come across that way I just wanted to point out that um this game really has not aged that all that gracefully like pausing the game like the magic system is so easy to use and like some of the damage cycle traps in this game are absurdly unfair um and we'll get to that um yeah and just the ring system just pausing the game what the hell oh I got stuck behind the tree oh I already talked to you um yeah the ring system the fact that you pause the game to access uh items all that and magic and you can really abuse the hell out of being able to pause when you access magic that guy looks familiar but somebody on a a comment on a video somebody left a comment on a video I made I forget which one and I forget I think it was the any the SNES sequels video um the modern modern sequels if somebody were to make a modern remake of secret abana it would be the perfect game to remake on the 3ds because then you could just move the ring system to the bottom screen that would be perfect that would work so well I wish I remembered who the username of whoever uh made that comment but whoever you are you're a genius it's a great idea and I hope it happens someday oh anyway yeah pull the sword out the sword was somehow protecting the village from monsters now that the swords out it's not protecting now I'm getting my ass kicked by a fat kid it's your fault you did it you anyway that's it thanks for watching and have a great rest of your day
