''Mystery of the Emblem'' is divided into two sections, called "Books" in the fan translation. Book 1, named (Japanese: {{hover|第1部 暗黒戦争編 暗黒竜と光の剣|Dai ichi-bu ankoku sensō-hen ankoku ryū to hikari no ken}} ''Part 1: Dark War Compilation: Dark Dragon and the Sword of Light''), is an abridged remake of ''Shadow Dragon and the Blade of Light'', again following Marth's journey in the [[War of Shadows]] as he leads the army of the Archanean League against the [[Dolhr]] Empire and their ruler, the feared Shadow Dragon [[Medeus]]. Book 2, named (Japanese: {{hover|第2部 英雄戦争編 紋章の謎|Dai ni-bu eiyū sensō-hen monshō no nazo}} ''Part 2: Hero War Compilation: Mystery of the Emblem'') tells a new story set two years after the first book's events, in which Marth must lead a rebellion against a powerful and corrupted former ally in a new conflict, the [[War of Heroes]], all the while uncovering the true history of Archanea and the mysterious origin of its sacred relics, the sword [[Falchion]] and the [[Fire Emblem (Archanean item)|Fire Emblem]].

During the Super Famicom's lifespan, ''Mystery of the Emblem'' was supported with the release of {{FEBS}}, a series of four chapters broadcast through the [[wikipedia:Satellaview|Satellaview]] satellite radio streaming service which told new stories featuring other members of the cast in adventures leading up to Marth's own. The first few chapters of Book 1 were also adapted into a short-lived [[wikipedia:Original video animation|original video animation]] series, ''[[Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem (anime)|Fire Emblem: Mystery of the Emblem]]'', which received an English-language dub long before the ''Fire Emblem'' games themselves began international releases.

Sixteen years after the release of ''Mystery of the Emblem'', an enhanced and extended remake of Book 2 was released for the [[Nintendo DS]] console, {{FE12}}. In addition to its two [[Virtual Console]] re-releases in its original form, ''Mystery of the Emblem'' was also available as a playable [[smashwiki:Masterpiece|Masterpiece]] in the Japanese version of {{SSBB}}, allowing players to experience a three-minute demo of Marth's origins as a character; owing to the game's lack of an English version, it was removed from international releases of ''Brawl''.

===Dismounting===
===Dismounting===
''Mystery'' is the first of three games to implement the [[dismount]]ing system, in which units who ride on horses, pegasi or wyverns can get off their mount and continue to fight on foot, losing their vulnerability to [[effective damage]] in exchange for lower [[movement]] range. In exterior chapters units can dismount or remount at will, but all riding units are forced to dismount when participating in indoor chapters.
