Ahhh, the famous Seiken Densetsu 3. Calling this game “Secret of Mana 2″ in front of the romhacking “scene” elite will earn you a quick correction, let me tell you something.

Such is the way of all translations, I suppose.
Its secret of mana 2. It's seiken densetsu 3, but secret of mana 2. Final fantasy adventure was seiken densetsu 1, then secret of mana was seiken densetsu 2, and this is seiken densetsu 3, but you could also call it Secret of Mana 2, as it is the game that comes after Secret of Mana in the series. It was called Seiken Densetsu 3, though it would likely have been called Secret of Mana 2 if it had ever been localized.
