All Working Secret of Mana Cheats - SNES
Hints
Longer lasting moogling
First moogle a person, then turn them into a midget.
This is particularly effective in preventing CPU controlled players
from stealing your character's skills.
Sleep as a little person
Use the Midge Mallet on everyone, then stay at an Inn.
Hidden face
Look at the map to the east of the ice country. A very
small speck will appear at that location. Fly there with Flammie
to see a face.
Getting all remaining weapon Orbs
Go to the Mana Fortress on the floating island and
start hacking down the enemies. After awhile (may take quite some
time), an enemy will drop an Orb in a chest that goes to one of
your weapons.
Once you can fly to the airborne Mana Fortress, fight the Dark
Stalkers and other monsters to get an Axe Orb. You can do this
more than once if needed. You can also get other orbs later.
Getting the 9th Sword Orb and Mana
Get the last Spear Orb
Go to the flying Mana Palace and go into it. A little
ways in, you will encounter some Tsunamis. Fight them and you
will eventually get the last Spear's Orb.
Get specific Orbs
At the Mana Fortress, you can get a variety of different
Weapon Orbs, mainly the Boomerang, Axe, Spear, and Whip. For the
Boomerang or Spear, kill a numerous amount of Tsunamies. Kill
Dark Stalkers or Master Ninjas to obtain a Sword or a Axe. Kill
Heck Hounds for a Whip or a Bow. Note :If you obtain an Orb that
you have nine of, the game could either freeze, or if you forge
it, will start at level 1.
Get multiple orbs
This trick requires two controllers. When you find
a treasure that you think is an orb, clear the room of enemies
so that you will not be attacked. Next, press [Start] on
controller two to activate your second player. Have player two
stand to the right or left side while you take the opposite side.
Then, using controllers one and two, simultaneously and repeatedly
press [Attack] until the box disappears. If done correctly,
the game should say you got the orb twice. This does not seem
to work on boxes earned from enemies.
Chocobo Egg and Magic Gourd
Normally, to get the Magic Gourd, you must trade off
the only Chocobo Egg you have. However, you can get the Chocobo
Egg at two places. The very first location is in Crustacia (the
little town you come across immediately after you defeat Magmar
in the volcano of Prehistoria). Go to the very top right cave.
In this cave you will see a stack of crates on the left side.
Tthe man who sells that Amulet of Annihilation for 10,000 jewels
hides behind those. However, if you actually buy the amulet, he
gives you a Chocobo Egg along with it. If you heave not actually
found him yet, must trigger him. To do this, enter the cave and
move right to the jug with clay in it. It will be the one on the
right. Move about there and he will say "Psst.. Over here".
You can then move to the crates and he will appear. If you have
triggered him, he should come out when you move to the crates.
Note: There may be time where he cannot be found at all -- this
may have to be done early in the game. The second location is
in Ivor Tower of Gothica. You can trade for it using nine Bottles
Of Perfume and nine Beads. Knowing both locations, it is possible
to use the following trick to get the Magic Gourd and Chocobo
Egg. Buy the Amulet of Annihilation after killing yourslef with
a bit of time getting the jewels, before leaving for Nobilia.
Then, trade it for the Magic Gourd. Later, get the second Chocobo
Egg in Ivor Tower.
Faerie Ring
To get the Faerie Ring, accessory (100), kill enemies
in Mana Fortress. Note: This may take a while.
Midge Mallet
Talk to the elder Dwarf after the Water Palace is attacked
by the empire. It can be used to transform to and from the Mini
condition.
Moogle Belt
Have Flamie take you to a turtle-shaped island. Once
there, a man dressed like a merchant will give you a Sea Hare
Tail. Have Flamie take you to the desert town and speak to the
leader. He will give you the Moogle Belt, which can be used to
transform your characters to and from the Moogle condition
Vampire Cape
The Vampire Cape is the best armor for the sprite.
To obtain it, go to the airborne Mana Fortress and fight the Captain
Ducks. Eventually you will get a treasure chest that contains
the Vampire Cape.
Fire combo
When you get Salamando from the resort, you can level
him up quickly by using any of the girl's fire spells (except
Fire Sword), and any of the sprite's fire spells. First, cast
the girl's fire spell, then as soon as Salamando appears, cast
the sprite's fire spell. If done correctly, the enemy will suffer
damage in the 100s and as Salamado gets stronger, you can hit
an enemy with up to 999 damage.
Dual chain-spellcasting
This trick demands a lot of timing skill and is more
effective after you get the elemental Salamando, as the Girl also
starts dishing out magical damage. Start with either the Sprite
or the Girl and cast a spell. Quickly use the "Ally Menu"
button to switch to the other magic-caster, and cast away. The
first elemental will appear, then the second. Both will release
the spell and vanish. As they vanish, hit the "Ally Menu"
button twice to come back to the first magic-caster. Cast, as
in a normal chain-casting, and hit the "Ally Menu" button
twice to switch to the other spellcaster again. If you are fast
enough, you can keep two spell-chains going until you run out
of MP. This allows you to dish out 999 damage to Bosses faster,
or to use the Girl's Effect magic to soften them up while the
Sprite chaincasts damage. It is extra effective when facing the
later Drop/Morph type monsters, and the monsters that spawn other
smaller monsters, as you can keep them being blasted. This prevents
them from multiplying and swarming you.
Avoiding Treasure traps
After you have gotten Sylphid, every time you find
a chest from an enemy use Analyzer from the girl on the Treasure
Chest and it will start to glow. This eliminates any traps, and
you will always find an item inside. You can also use this to
level up Sylphid by using it continually on it.
Ocean desert
This trick is difficult to do. You must have the Luna
Palace on your right and you must be facing exactly North on Flammie.
Fly as fast and as low as possible, holding [B]. The first
place Flammie will land will be the desert. It will be a portion
with stars on the ground. Without moving, use the Flammie Drum.
Flammie will pick you up and you will find yourself directly above
the ocean. Note: If you are a fraction of an inch off, you will
not land at the correct place.
Use specials that you do not have
Power up something to its highest level and switch
it with another weapon while still holding [Attack] button.
The other weapon must be equipped to another person. You can then
use the special of a weapon that you did not level up high enough
to use.
