The one thing they could have done better in Secret of Mana was make the boss fights more interesting. Spell spamming made them way too easy, and when you have the Midge Mallet, they're a complete joke due to the speed spamming glitch.
Oh Secret of Mana is so good. Probably the game I am most nostalgic to ever. I've probably played it though at least 10-15 times with my brother. We usually decide to not spell spam on the bosses unless we have to in order to survive, since that makes things pretty uninteresting.
You should play Seiken Densetsu 3 (the sequel to Secret of Mana, it was only released in Japan but it has been fan translated) instead of Secret of Evermore, it's pretty much as good as Secret of Mana (unlike evermore which is nowhere close).
Quote from Quietus:
That's how I always used to play it, and it made the world of difference. My friend would always play as the girl, which left the sprite free for me to spam-kill the bosses.
We played it sooo many times together, it was insane. There was a period of a few months where I recall us almost doing looped runs, rolling straight from one into another. You can't imagine the disappointment when we discovered that Evermore was single-player only.
Luckily, playing through emulation, there's a two-player patch available, so you can play that one too!
