Shapeshifting dogs. Evil robots. Alchemy. Cheesy B movie references. These are all par for the course in Secret of Evermore, a very loose "sequel" to Secret of Mana. The story follows a boy that is thrust into a virtual world and finds himself with no immediate means to escape. As the boy travels, the geography changes to reflect certain eras of real-life history, adding a unique aspect to the game.
In addition, there are two other categories for the game whose aims for 100% collection and also finish the game without meeting any boss at all.
SOUND WARNING: There are glitchy loud noises at 59:00 to 59:18 of the video (this is the only instance that occurs during the whole game). Please lower your volume beforehand.
