"POPOI IS DEAD."
Rick and Topsy embark on a vibrant, nostalgia-soaked journey into one of the most beloved RPGs of the 16-bit era—Secret of Mana for the SNES! With its lush pixel art, real-time combat, and an absolutely legendary soundtrack, this game holds a sacred place in Rick’s childhood memories... ...but as they dive back into this classic, a long-buried flaw begins to resurface. Could it be the janky hit detection? The questionable AI? The menus stacked deeper than the Mana Fortress itself? All will be revealed as the duo begins their quest to restore the Mana Sword and accidentally bump into every enemy pixel in the process.
It’s gorgeous, emotional, and just a little broken—like all the best classics. Don't miss a Robot Co-Op playthrough that spans most of a decade as the guys slowly realize this game's secret is all too similar to... hotdogs. You read that right.

Renowned for its real-time combat system, vibrant world, and one of the greatest soundtracks in gaming history, it tells the story of a young boy chosen by fate to wield the Mana Sword and restore balance to the world. Despite its beauty and innovation, it’s also remembered for quirky AI, awkward targeting, and moments of pure SNES chaos.
