'''Fire Emblem: Monshō no Nazo''' (which translates to ''Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem'') is the third game in the [[Portal: Fire Emblem|''Fire Emblem'' series]] and the first to be released over the [[Super NES]]. It is divided into two halves, the first being a remake of [[Fire Emblem: Ankoku Ryuu to Hikari no Tsurugi|the original Fire Emblem game]] while the second half acts as a direct sequel to it.

=Story=

Book 1 is the same as the story of the first game in that exiled prince of Altea, [[Marth]] must lead a group of rebels to defeat the evil [[Gharnef]], who seeks to resurrect the dark dragon [[Medeus]].

Book 2 is set several years later. In it, Marth is living happily and preparing for marriage when he is called in to suppress a rebellion within the Holy Empire of Akaneia, ruled by Marth's good friend [[Hardin]]. However, Marth soon comes across a conspiracy which threatens to change his relationship with Hardin forever, and giving him a new enemy in the process.

=Gameplay=

The gameplay was mostly similar to the previous game in that the player moved units across the gridded maps like pieces on a chessboard, with each unit having unique movement range as well as different abilities/weapons and weaknesses. Some tweaks include certain characters having Support bonuses when near each other, the ability to mount and dismount horses and modification of how the dragonstones worked.

=Legacy=

==Sequels==

The next ''Fire Emblem'' game to be released was ''[[Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu]]'', which takes place in the continent of Jugdral a thousand years prior to the events of Book One. The next game to take place in Archanea was  ''[[BS Fire Emblem]]'' in 1997, then ''[[Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon]]'', which is also a remake of ''Ankoku Ryuu to Hikari no Tsurugi'', in 2008.
