Anyway, the game centers around Ark, a mischievous little scamp who, bored with life in the quiet underground village of Crysta decides to ignore the orders of his [[WastelandElder village elder]] and [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Open That Which Should Not be Opened]], which results in the entire population of his DoomedHometown (except one chicken) turning into crystal. From there, Ark is then tasked with not only restoring his hometown, but also SavingTheWorld that is above him.

So similar in play style to its predecessor, [=Terranigma=] has often been confused as, and even referred ''to'' (in-game, no less) as ''Illusion of Gaia 2''. A fantastically enjoyable game, but was generally crippled in sales due to being released very close to the end of the Super Nintendo's life, as well as being released practically everywhere in the world ''[[NoExportForYou except America]]'' for some reason. Chances are it probably couldn't find an American publisher due to the Nintendo 64 literally being ''right'' around the corner (it was already released in North America when Terranigma was released in Europe), coupled with the multiple themes of religion and death present in the title.

The game takes place in a post-apocalyptic Earth. After the forces and Light and Darkness fought a fierce war with no winners, all life was wiped-out from the surface and the continents were sunk. Life could only endure underground, where everything got covered by a crystal-like mist.

The story centers around Ark, a mischievous little scamp who, bored with life in the quiet underground village of Crysta (the only human village left) decides to ignore the orders of his [[WastelandElder village elder]] and [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Open That Which Should Not be Opened]], which results in the entire population of his DoomedHometown (except the Elder) turning into crystal. From there, Ark is then tasked with not only restoring his hometown, but also [[SavingTheWorld reviving that is above them]].

This quest takes Ark to resurface all the continents and start the circle of the evolution of the species, from plants, to animals and finally human being. And from there, recreate all of human history, including events like the discovery of America or inventions like Edison's light bulb, among many others.

A fantastically enjoyable game, but was generally crippled in sales due to being released very close to the end of the Super Nintendo's life, as well as being released practically everywhere in the world ''[[NoExportForYou except America]]'' due to the bankruptcy of Enix America and not being able find an American publisher due to the Nintendo 64 literally being ''right'' around the corner (it was already released in North America when ''Terranigma'' was released in Europe). The multiple themes of religion (as you might guess, this game doesn't make any Creationist happy...) and death present in the title probably had a role too.
