Health is decreased by coming into contact with various monsters, attacks, traps, and the passage of time.
It is increased by finding food.
Every certain amount of points, a "Food Fairy" appears and drops off food as well.
Throughout your journey, you can smash open chests to find treasure and artifacts.
Some of these artifacts can be recovered that alter gameplay, such as providing more damage or increased magical power.
Also throughout your journey, you can collect keys, which are used to free imprisoned allies, who not only help you defeat monsters, but also leave you an item that will help you on your quest.
Only one person can join you at a time.
As you progress through the tower, you will be granted new magical weapons after each boss you defeat.
The weapons are affected by a "magic bar" that charges over time.
When this bar is fully charged, the weapon has a powerful ranged attack, but when not charged only a close attack is produced.
A magical staff will grant increased range attack ability.
A magical blast may be generated by jumping and attacking, but doing this costs health.
There are multiple paths in the game, and two separate endings.
Hidden doors can be used to skip levels when found - usually by attacking a wall or a particular spot.
About Super Nintendo Entertainment System
The Super Nintendo Entertainment System (1990/1991) is widely regarded as home to one of the strongest first-party libraries in gaming history, from Super Metroid to Chrono Trigger. It's a mature collecting market: iconic RPGs and late-cycle releases (which typically had smaller print runs as the industry moved toward the next generation) are consistently among the most sought-after and valuable cartridges from the 16-bit era.
Gamevaro tracks Magic Sword for Super Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Magic Sword to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This SNES release dates back to 1992.
