Final Fantasy Adventure, originally released in Japan as Seiken Densetsu: Final Fantasy Gaiden and later released in Europe as Mystic Quest, is a role-playing game for the Game Boy and the first game of the Mana series. It was developed by Square and published by them in 1991 in both Japan and North America and in 1993 in Europe. The game's North American box art and logo was designed after that of Final Fantasy Legend II's and Final Fantasy Legend III's. Both the North American and European box covers have a green background.

Final Fantasy Adventure features gameplay roughly similar to early The Legend of Zelda games, but with the addition of role-playing statistical elements. It is one of the first Final Fantasy games released in Europe, along with Final Fantasy Mystic Quest (which itself was named Mystic Quest Legend in Europe), although Final Fantasy VII is the first to bear the Final Fantasy title. A remake, Sword of Mana, was released for the Game Boy Advance in 2003, changing the plot and many gameplay aspects. A second remake was released on mobile phones in Japan which improved the graphics and music of the original version. A third remake, Adventures of Mana, was released for iOS, Android, and PlayStation Vita on February 4, 2016.

The story follows the hero and the young heroine as they attempt to thwart the Dark Lord of Glaive and his sorcerer assistant, Julius, from destroying the Tree of Mana and dooming their world. The game was released with many familiar elements of the Final Fantasy series, such as Chocobos, but these were later changed to feature common enemies and the gameplay style of the Mana series.
