Secret of Mana Plus 2.0 available
Classic Secret of Mana but longer!
Have you ever felt like some parts of Secret of Mana were a little rushed? Well, Secret of Mana Plus intends to correct it by adding new content to the original game.
The extended/added chapters are:
- The Wind Palace: explore this new dungeon and stop the Empire invasion.
- The Empire overworld: travel between Southtown and Northtown on a dangerous new road.
- The Gold Tower: face extra adversities to obtain the key and climb the added levels.
- The Moon Palace: a mysterious presence awaits you in the new depths of this eerie place.
- Weapon orbs side quests: 8 new weapon orbs have been hidden throughout the world for more powerful weapons.
These new adventures feature:
- Additional monsters and bosses: new versions of vanilla enemies with their own stats/spells/colors…
- Cutscenes: The new maps are integrated into the main story and add new plot points through numerous cutscenes.
Besides this additional content, the core game remains unchanged.
This hack also includes enhancement hacks by other talented creators:
- Max consumable count increased from 4 to 7 (by Moppleton)
- Allow allies to leave the edge of the screen (by Moppleton and zhaDe)
- Elemental melee damage and enemy species damage(by Moppleton)
- Spell grinding speed-up hack (x2) (by Kethinov)
- Improved screen scrolling for better visibility when moving around (by Binarynova, zhaDe and Queue)
- Kettle Kin chainsaw restoration (by Queue)
- Title screen image restoration (by Queue)

Nice! I know what I’m doing tonight!
Have fun!
Will there be a multiplayer hack for this 2.0 update? Or are you going to phase out that feature. I had problems with it glitching some in the previous version
This new version doesn’t require a separate multiplayer hack.
I integrated a new hack for “leaving allies behind” by zhaDe that should cause no issue for multiplayer.
Ah okie that makes sense. Thanks for clarifying
Note for everyone, the patch requires a unheadered ROM.
This is awesome! Any chance any of the turbo hacks might become optional or are they already compatible? Like using magic outside of menu. Thanks for the hard work!
Thank you! Turbo hacks are not compatible at the moment. To make both hacks compatible, I’d need Turbo’s creator (Queue) to add Plus to his patcher. Sadly he doesn’t have time for that huge task. Though Queue allowed me to use some of his hacks such as chainsaw Kettle Kin and the JP title screen image. I might consider making a patch with a selection of turbo hacks in the future.
