[Secret of Mana] How does everyone survive being shot out of a cannon as a form of long distance travel?
gpt
The main companions and monsters demonstrate that all life in the Secret of Mana world are very durable to physical damage. The main characters can all take direct hits from lightning bolts, fire-balls, and having large boulders dropped on them -- multiple times.... and they wind up totally fine.

They might have to rest in a bed or eat some candy to recover.

The creatures can take a magic sword to the face many times before they succumb to some kind of explosive destruction during death.

Being launched out of a canon and falling back to the earth at terminal velocity seems well within the physical punishment the characters can take. They must be extra durable due to magic or the genetics of their species.


When the boy character got exiled from his village at the beginning of the story he was punched in the face by his former friend multiple times. The physical damage indicator did not register the damage. Therefore the life of this world only suffers damage from powerful monsters, enhanced weapons, or supernatural powers.


The main boy character also falls from a waterfall into knee deep water (very beginning of the story) and winds up totally fine.
