The series began as a handheld side story to Square's flagship franchise "Final Fantasy", although most "Final Fantasy"-inspired elements were subsequently dropped, starting with the second installment, "Secret of Mana". It has since grown to include games of various genres within the fictional world of Mana. The music of the "Mana" series includes soundtracks and arranged albums of music from the series, which is currently composed of "Final Fantasy Adventure" and its remake "Sword of Mana", "Secret of Mana", "Trials of Mana", "Legend of Mana", "Dawn of Mana", "Children of Mana", "Friends of Mana", "Heroes of Mana", "Circle of Mana", and "Rise of Mana". Each game except for "Friends" and "Circle" has produced a soundtrack album, while "Adventure" has sparked an arranged album as well as a combined soundtrack and arranged album, "Legend of Mana" has an additional promotional EP, and music from "Secret" and "Trials" were combined together into an arranged album. For the series' 20th anniversary, a 20-disc box set of previously-released albums was produced, as well as an album of arrangements by Kenji Ito, composer for several games in the series.
