The Mana Series, includes titles like The Secret of Mana, The Legend of Mana (almost typed Zelda out of habit

), Children of Mana, Heroes of Mana, Sword of Mana, and Dawn of Mana.
Admittely, the series gets worse as time goes on, but still...it has promise left...I hope. As the result, though, I've only ever played The Secret of Mana and The Sword of Mana to any long extent, because they're both pretty danged good.
Dawn of Mana was just an abomination. The game manual actually had the nerve to suggest two players to one on-screen character.
