    Using these codes means that you'll never again have to spend 

much time messing around killing enemies just so you can upgrade 

your character's statistics.  In short, it'll stop you getting bored 

playing the game once you've completed it a few times.

        

    Please note: The maximum energy and maximum money codes were

    taken

from the Datel Action Replay codebook - there are included for the 

sake of completeness.  All the other codes I worked out myself.



(1) To get Girl and Sprite's Magic Level counter to 99 - i.e. 

they only need to cast one more spell to reach the next Magic Level, 

you'll need these codes:



Girl:



7EE3D863 - GNOME

7EE3D863 - UNDINE

7EE3DA63 - SALAMANDO

7EE3DB63 - SYLPHID

7EE3DC63 - LUNA

7EE3DD63 - DRYAD

7EE3DF63 - LUMINA



Sprite:



7EE5D863 - GNOME

7EE5D863 - UNDINE

7EE5DA63 - SALAMANDO

7EE5DB63 - SYLPHID

7EE5DC63 - LUNA

7EE5DD63 - DRYAD

7EE5DE63 - SHADE





(2) To raise maximum Magic Points for the Girl and Sprite use these 

codes:



Girl:



7EE38763



Sprite:



7EE58763



(3) To raise all character's Weapon Level counter to 99 - i.e. you 

only need to kill one more enemy to reach the next Weapon Level, you 

might like to try these ones:



Bloke:



7EE1D063 - GLOVE

7EE1D163 - SWORD

7EE1D263 - AXE

7EE1D363 - SPEAR

7EE1D463 - WHIP

7EE1D563 - BOW

7EE1D663 - BOOMERANG

7EE1D763 - POLE DART





Girl:



7EE3D063 - GLOVE

7EE3D163 - SWORD

7EE3D263 - AXE

7EE3D363 - SPEAR

7EE3D463 - WHIP

7EE3D563 - BOW

7EE3D663 - BOOMERANG

7EE3D763 - POLE DART



Sprite:



7EE5D063 - GLOVE

7EE5D163 - SWORD

7EE5D263 - AXE

7EE5D363 - SPEAR

7EE5D463 - WHIP

7EE5D563 - BOW

7EE5D663 - BOOMERANG

7EE5D763 - POLE DART



(4) To raise Weapon Level for every weapon to level 8, use the 

following codes:

(Each code counts for two weapons.)



Bloke:



7EE1C088 - GLOVE AND SWORD

7EE1C188 - AXE AND SPEAR

7EE1C288 - WHIP AND BOW

7EE1C388 - BOOMERANG AND POLE DART



Girl:



7EE3C088 - GLOVE AND SWORD

7EE3C188 - AXE AND SPEAR

7EE3C288 - WHIP AND BOW

7EE3C388 - BOOMERANG AND POLE DART



Sprite:



7EE5C088 - GLOVE AND SWORD

7EE5C188 - AXE AND SPEAR

7EE5C288 - WHIP AND BOW

7EE5C388 - BOOMERANG AND POLE DART



NB: Changing the last two digits of each code to a hexadecimal number 

higher than 88 will allow you to charge past level 8!  For example, 

changing 88 to AA will enable you to charge to level 10!  Obviously, 

there are no new weapon animations, but you'll be able to inflict 

much more damage.  However, if you do this, after a while your levels 

will reset back to zero and you won't be able to charge at all.  Fun 

if used in moderation.



(5) To upgrade your Magic Level to level 8, use these codes:



Girl:



7EE3C488 GNOME AND UNDINE 

7EE3C588 SALAMANDO AND SYLPHID

7EE3C688 LUNA AND DRYAD

7EE3C788 LUMINA



Sprite:



7EE3C488 GNOME AND UNDINE 

7EE3C588 SALAMANDO AND SYLPHID

7EE5C688 LUNA AND DRYAD

7EE5C788 SHADE



NB: As with the Weapon Level codes, raising the value of the last two 

digits will render your spells more potent, enabling a "Super Spell" 

(one with enhanced animation and increased damage) with almost every 

cast!  Bear in mind though, the danger of your Magic Levels resetting 

to zero applies here, too.



(6) Maximum energy for each character (somehow though, it makes the 

Sprite invincible).  (Code for the Bloke taken directly from Datel's

codebook.)



Bloke:



7EE181C5



Girl:



7EE381C5



Sprite:



7EE581C5



(6.5) Eric Lenander mailed me with 'real' infinite energy codes (I

must apologise: I haven't tested them due to my not having brought my

SNES to University with me).  Over to Eric:



"I just check your text about AR codes to Secret of Mana. You have

many cool  codes, but I have one you don't. :-)

It's the unlimited energy codes I'm talking about. You said that it

made

Sprite invicible, well, your code is not the correct one...

The correct code is:

	7EEX82FF

Where "X" is the character (1, 3, 5 for Bloke, Girl and Sprite in

that

order). The code will give the character an unlimited energy of

255HP.

The only difference between your code and my code is that my have a 2

instead of a 1. Not that much of a difference, but still..."

(7) Maximum money:



7ECC6CBF



(Code taken directly from Datel's Code book.)



Once selected codes are entered, start the game and enable the Action 

Replay.  Load your save-game and check your statistics are suitably 

enhanced.  When you've finished being impressed, save your game 

IMMEDIATELY (with all these codes entered, Mana is likely to crash).  

Turn off your SNES and then load Mana again (with no codes entered,

although you will probably still want to use the maximum Magic Points 

codes).  You'll see your statistics have been saved.  Now play the 

game.

* Addendum *



24/12/96



I've now worked out codes to alter the amount of orbs collected per 

weapon.  This means that it is now possible to finally have the 

correct weapon name (and graphic) for the maximum level that can be 

powered up.  (Well, I know what I'm talking about, anyway.)



Simply, enter the below codes.  When you start the game and check

your

weapon levels, you'll find that each is only powered-up to level one, 

but that the amount of orbs collected has increased to nine.  This 

means that with an extended visit to Watts (and plenty of money!), 

each weapon can be powered up to level nine, and that finally weapons 

like the "Ninja's Trump" are available without having to visit the 

Mana Fortress, collect as many orbs as possible and then exit.  (Many 

times.)



What to do:



(1)  Enter the first set of codes, enable Action Replay and load the

     saved-game.

(2)  Check that every weapon has " 1/ 9" in its level description.

(3)  Disable Action Replay.

(4)  Visit Watts and power up all the weapons to maximum.  Unless you 

     want to be silly, don't power them up past level 9 (see later).

(5)  Save game.

(6)  Reset and enter the second set of codes (just to tidy everything 

     up).

(7)  Enable Action Replay, load save and check every weapon looks

like

     this: " 9/ 9".

(8)  Save game.



If, as stated earlier, you power up past level nine, the weapon in 

question will "morph" into another!  So, you can have each character 

equipped with, for example, a spear.  This, to me, seems a bad idea 

(unless there are arguments over which character uses which weapon).



Code Time.



First set of codes:



7ECFB000 \

7ECFB100 |

7ECFB200 |

7ECFB300 |- AMOUNT OF ORBS FORGED

7ECFB400 |

7ECFB500 |

7ECFB600 |

7ECFB700 /



7ECFB808 \

7ECFB908 |

7ECFBA08 |

7ECFBB08 |- TOTAL AMOUNT OF ORBS COLLECTED

7ECFBC08 |

7ECFBD08 |

7ECFBE08 |

7ECFBF08 /



Second set of codes:





7ECFB009 \

7ECFB109 |

7ECFB209 |

7ECFB309 |- AMOUNT OF ORBS FORGED

7ECFB409 |

7ECFB509 |

7ECFB609 |

7ECFB709 /



That's it!



Things to work on:



Maximum character statistics codes.

Maximum armour statistics codes.  (Not sure how to do this, though.)

History:



Version 1.0 : Created a long time time ago (@ 3 years!) for inclusion

in a British SNES magazine.  I sold my SNES and forgot to send it in,

though.  I bought another SNES 16 months later....



Version 1.1 : After playing around with games about a year ago, I

worked out some Weapon codes, which I added.



Version 1.2 : After being mailed 'real' infinite energy codes by Eric

Lenander (lenander@mbox301.swipnet.se) I decided a new version was in

order.  Thanks, Eric!
