Legend of Mana

This is an action role-playing game in which players assume the role of a hero on a quest to restore a mythical tree. From a side-scrolling perspective, players explore environments (e.g., caves, forests, beaches), complete quests, interact with characters, and engage in melee-style combat against fantasy creatures (e.g., giant eyeballs, sirens, vampires). Players use swords, spears, bows, and magic spells to defeat enemies; some attacks cause splashes of blood to appear as characters are hit. Battles are sometimes frenetic, with impact sounds, explosions, and screen-shaking effects. A handful of sequences contain suggestive dialogue (e.g., "I hear ladies sunbathe here with their bikini tops unlaced”; “I'm getting h*rd! So h*rd for you, baby”; “I hear your pupils are back in the loving bosom of your classes!"). A fish character, described as “lecherous,” can be seen dancing for characters next to what appears to be a stripper pole. Some characters are depicted smoking pipes or cigars. The word “bastard” is heard in the game.
