Secret of Mana is not a top 10 SNES RPG. Great music aside, the combat is super choppy and suffers from a pretty horrendous flaw of not having any invincibility frames, making it possible for enemies like werewolves to actually combo you to death. The ally AI is also awful. The sequel's not half-bad? You're right, it's significantly better than SoM in just about every way possible.
