Nostalgic Music Gaming Trip Episode 2: A Colorful Fantasy

This next tune hails from perhaps my favorite RPG, and easily one of the greatest SNES games of all time, which says a lot on a console loaded with quality titles. This masterpiece is known as Secret of Mana. The game itself was an absolute joy from beginning to end, providing a warm and fuzzy feeling few games matched, as you wandered the vibrant green forests, walked through the enchanting water palace, or flew your dragon across the vast plains.

It is difficult to pick a single piece from this gem, as nearly every track shines with its own unique character, but I decided on the piece that perhaps bests represents the emotions of peace, wonder, and joy you get from journeying through this game. Enjoy!
