Has anyone got/finished the Sword of Mana? I got this game a few days ago 
from the 'Bay but I've become stuck in the Jadd Desert area.

Ok here goes...
After standing on three switches in two caves, I am trying to get to the 
rest of the switches (GameFAQs mentions five in total).  I've fallen down 
into the quicksand (day and night), and again GameFAQs suggests that I 
should get the Fire Coin (got) and then find my way to the right, and down 
through some trees and rocks to get to the next switch/cave.

This is where I get stuck.  No matter what weapon 
(sword/flail/knucks/sickle/bow) or elemental power 
(gnome/undine/wisp/salamander) I use I cannot get through the tree/rock 
barrier.

I've not used a walkthrough to get to this far, and after looking can't see 
that I've missed anything though I may have of course. Anyone?

p.s. Though this may be irrelevant, the cartridge itself is a pikey copy. 
After over 20 GBA purchases from the 'bay, I finally get a wrong 
'un...bugger!

Can't help with your issue, but I hope you left negative feedback at least.

Nope, it WAS me after all.  Missed a path....
