Whenever a game is decompiled, it becomes part of the “DOOM SQUAD” Any game in the “DOOM SQUAD” should run on any console, pc, or stove ever made.

[@ejc5million]

Hey! Nice video, I wanted to say that on the wii version, if you use the latest 0.5 version it helps with the special stages quite a bit, AND as that version has mod support, you can get a mod that removes most of the unnecessary decorations and it runs at basically full speed, even better than the wiiu

[@legoboy7107]

I was gonna say, surely that special stage lag is an optimization issue with the early port and not a Wii hardware problem, right? Because there ain't no way the Wii isn't powerful enough to run those if programmed right, they're not exactly graphically intensive and several 3D Wii games have more demanding graphics and still run full 60 or at least smooth 30. (Mario Galaxy, Mario Kart, Sonic Colors at 30fps, etc.)

[@ejc5million]

@@legoboy7107 Yeah, the REAL reason its slow is because its all running on the cpu and not the gpu, the ways I said just help it run a lot better on the cpu, still doesnt use the gpu, but yeah thats why 3d runs slow, other games and stuff use the gpu but this for now at least doesnt

[@oxothnk333]

Wii U version runs full speed now with the latest version

[@MikyV104]

1:56 the "fun Is infinite" Is a reference of a old easteregg in Sonic CD

[@KellDoesTaxFraud]

🤯🤯🤯

[@hamzamohamed6774]

I didn't notice that

[@Nero_Mor]

Fun Fact. Sonic Mania was officially released on Xbox One. It was still ported to the Xbox One by the community. At least it has mod support.

[@Simeeow]

This guy is literally Scott the woz but sonic.

[@AUGUSTIN-MUSIC]

Yeah it’s cringe. He stole his whole freaking personality from Scott…

[@BlueJay_18]

Hey Xpool! I’m so happy that I got to watch you play Sonic Mania!

[@EthanMickanen]

I’m new to the channel but I really like your style! I love the comedy while still being very informative about the many many ways of playing Sonic Mania. Good stuff!

[@oreogod1985]

Awesome to see this new video popping off! Was a super fun watch and it’s just cool to hear about what crazy things people have done to get this game out there

[@wrestlemania-39]

The PlayStation Vita Port is Actually my favorite and it is not hard to install at all ! it supports mods and loading times are like 5 to 10 seconds I love it ! The only downside is that special stages run at a low ass 20 fps but I feel like it is one of the best ways to play it unnoficially thanks to the PSVita buttons and D-pad

[@AmbientMess]

Have they still not found a way to speed them up after the vanilla release? Been a while now right?

[@SpeederLight]

This was such a funny video thanks so much for this lol Love your videos as always homie 😁

[@jaylenbutler899]

0:46 OK, that is just relatable.

[@SefWhiter]

Dope ass video as always man. Was actually planning on a similar video to this, but you definitely out-did whatever I had 'planned'!

[@demerald125]

alr this is cool, but I wanna see persona 3 getting decompiled so I can play it on my gamecube or wii. im not a hardcore persona fan(i have touched grass yesterday) but still it would be cool playing a ps2 exclusive game on my gamecube or 3ds(they did it with gta 3)

[@germanempireball968]

Your videos are Soo good

[@sethbessinger2025]

I recently bought Sonic Mania off of Steam for $5. My first purchase on there. I’ve had a great time! It works great, considering I have UHD 620 graphics.

[@SPIDERKN1GHT0327]

Who’s coming back to this vid after the most recent port of Mania?

[@lenardopaul5658]

“Never mind it was the end” Netflix: “WHAT DID YOU SAY!!!”

[@sonic_enjoyer]

the netflix port sucks, the audio sounds awful so i cant play it with headphones

[@Zinkolo]

Why did you call owners of the Vita unfortunate? Have you been living under a rock all these years? It's one of the best handhelds out there, especially if you're going to homebrew it

[@AUGUSTIN-MUSIC]

Facts. He’s js an L KZbinr

[@L10kwnsns]

he also forgot 2 mention ps3 works flawlessly

[@totallynothunter22]

​@@AUGUSTIN-MUSICbro what beef do you have with this guy lmao

[@AUGUSTIN-MUSIC]

@@totallynothunter22 we were friends in high school and he called my gf a Hoe, then he posted lewd photos of her on a Google drive and shared it to everyone in the school. I got expelled for fighting him so now I don’t even go to the same school. He’s just a terrible guy and his content isn’t all the great anyways.

[@thetailsbacon]

“Fun is infinite” Actually references the secret Sonic cd screen, and majin

[@goatsoup]

i adore your sense of humor and clean editing, keep up the great work

[@AUGUSTIN-MUSIC]

He just steals his personality from Scott the Woz

[@goatsoup]

@@AUGUSTIN-MUSIC i feel old if people are young enough on KZbin to think this type/style of content started with Scott the Woz i remember watching Scott when he had like 4 videos on his channel and thinking "oh is like jontron" (and a bunch of other youtubers that came to mind)

[@AUGUSTIN-MUSIC]

@@goatsoup no dude… the MANNERISMS he uses are EXACTLY the way Scott talks and edits and how he makes “jokes”. It’s a 1:1 copy of his personally. Ofc ppl have always made gaming retrospectives like this but dude stole every mannerism Scott has

[@When_da]

At some point this is the new “can it run doom” thing

[@Frankie-kn3vg]

First time watching a video from you but i liked it! Your editing style and the way you talk (i guess?) Gives me scott the woz vibes

[@thisnameisbad3609]

How do you only have 4.5k subs??? That was a great vid!

[@CallansWorldYT]

New Art for your character? MUCH BETTER LOVE IT!!! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

[@NOUH-my9kq]

The “Fun is Infinite” isn’t for shadowing sonic forces it was supposed to reference sonic CD with majin sonic

[@subjectfnaf]

The thumbnail made me remembered that i managed to get sonic mania working on my old 3ds

[@AhmedGH433]

i cant believe bro missed the best way to play sonic mania the dreamcast

[@walucidamn]

Fun Fact: Any Sonic Mania Plus™ fanmade port (that basically requires the data.rsdk file) can be easily and infinitely moddable.

[@nintendogamer64knucklesrealism]

Can't wait for Sonic Mania on N64!

[@masterreece1098]

I love sonic mania, it reminded me about the amount of creativity sega has, even though ive always been obsessed with the blue boy

[@XTHHedgehog]

That joke about the ATGames Genesis got me pretty good. I'll go ahead and subscribe now.

[@JUMPYCOOL]

Sonic Mania is a great game. I got it as gift on Christmas via Sonic Mania Plus on Switch.

[@SolidSonicTH]

Uh...doesn't Tiramisu make loading stuff on Wii U a lot more smooth these days? Also there are some efforts being made to port the game to the Dreamcast.

[@dominiconofrio]

Now there is a sonic mania official mobile port

[@SPIDERKN1GHT0327]

2:34 How to get away with murder:

[@nathanpixelkid]

now netflix games has it on mobile, it's wild

[@peety0792]

If this guy can cover how many ways to play sonic mania, then he can talk about SRB2's modding community because... dear god they can do anything

[@SGPOOPS]

This gives me some Scott the Woz vibes, great video btw

[@brawlfan]

"Fun is Infinite" was actually a translation of Japanese text on a hidden screen in sonic cd accessed by putting in 46, 12, 25, on the sound test. It's notable for being considered creepy to those who grew up with the American soundtrack of Sonic CD due to it using the final boss theme and also the image that's used on it. I'm not going to spoil it here but you should be able to find a video on youtube by putting in "fun is infinite sonic cd"

[@SunkySilly]

Netflix users can play Sonic Mania Plus on mobile devices, with the new Netflix games, though it hasn't released globally yet

[@primobux6522]

hey xpool i just found you out and have been enjoying your content also do u get ur inspiration from scott the woz cause i can tell

[@cingkrazy1412]

I hope this game becomes the new “can it run doom”

[@janaxelblomberg7768]

Ngl youre like the sonic scott the woz and i really dig it

[@BerryBerryWerryWerry]

Bro your vids are cool

[@evanthepro1727]

this guys definitely inspired by scott the woz

[@TouchcreatorYT]

0:49 bro forgot hes a sonic fan too 💀

[@GamerBlake90]

I'm genuinely surprised the Special Stages struggle to run on some platforms. They aren't exactly...graphically demanding. Maybe it's the framerate? Either way, seeing my favorite Sonic game - and YES, the best Sonic game ever - accessible in so many ways warms my heart.

[@crimson-foxtwitch2581]

The Special Stages actually *are* but it’s because Sonic Mania does not use the GPU to render 3D models whatosever. It’s all software-rendered.

[@unOffical_Sonic_The_Hedgehog]

An official mania mobile port by neflix is coming soon.

[@Zippy_Zolton]

while I was stuck at someone else's house with nothing but my 3DS I did a full playthrough on the 3DS version, very nice aside from the issues with 3D models and loading times

[@wazedrifty]

the fun is actually infinite

[@LennyWhatever2]

The Sonic equiv to “Can it run Doom?”

[@RhythicManRhythm]

I was wondering because I’m seeing this getting ported everywhere. It’s a great game though so no problem with that.

[@Tistan01]

I'll take that Leapster port any day.

[@PeanutMan870]

I was 6 when this game came out so when I turned 9 I got it on my ps4 and I stayed up for 3 days playing it and I basically grew up playing it with my best friend on his switch and PlayStation together

[@Rman1228]

8:10 I will say getting CFW on Wii U has never been easier these days and you get the benefit of having it show up as an app on the main menu which adds to the authenticity of the port. But I'm hoping someone manages to finish the special stage part of the port as some point 😔 it's practically flawless otherwise

[@IncredibleGaming]

dope

[@Riedel82mma]

Love this lol

[@gamingsucks5349]

I can't wait for a port on GameCube

[@Yourmanbro]

One day someone will port Sonic Mania on one of those old flip phones

[@SailsPlays]

I feel as if sonic mania will become the next doom (1993) being available on literally everything in 10 years time.

[@earthyemeraldy]

And I thought I was the only one obsessed with Cars 2 (DS/3DS version)

[@stunkeez]

this is the the new billehbawb

[@sh21dow]

What really matters is, how many TIMES i can play sonic mania

[@mr.smart75]

You can play it many ways!

[@IsmailK-mw6fg]

I own Mania on the Switch but I'm eventually gonna get it on Steam.

[@the28thdragonbloxanimator51]

SEGA:we will not bring mania on other platforms besides ps4, Xbox,switch and pc Sonic mania on android:fine I will do it myself🤌 Sonic mania on iOS:I will also do it myself🤌🙌 Sonic mania on 3ds:you denied me so I'll do it In my own ways😠🙌🤌 Sonic mania on Wii and wiiu:both of us will have it you'll see😤

[@anael2]

This game is the smooth 2d game in the world

[@gameappreciation]

Fun fact, recent updates to mania on Wii u have completely fixed all slow down issues. And have mod support ;)

[@StardustZee]

IF THERE IS A WAY, SONIC MANIA MUST BE PLAYED

[@TheOneGoofAli]

You'd be surprised that the DOS port of Mania shows how intensive the fade effects are... I ran it on two Pentium IIIs, slower one of which is 550 MHz... and oh boy, are they intensive. And if you are not using the Windows Sound System version, the audio may stutter. No, I was not using VMs or 86box. Actual old P3s. 😂

[@jamiemichael6237]

Imagine buying every single port cars two was on 0:19

[@aqu18_]

My sonic statues nose fell off its face 😭

[@Snickritz]

So... Official Versions: -PS4 -PS5 -Xbox One -Xbox Series X/S -Nintendo Switch -Steam -Epic Games Store -Amazon Luna -Netflix Unofficial Versions -Everything under the goddamn sun.

[@EnerJazzOfficial]

was able to play sonic mania on my Wii U gamepad by connecting it to my PC. was pretty cool

[@82braincells]

its the new doom

[@Watermlncat]

And guess what. NETFLIX IS RELEASING AN OFFICIAL MOBILE PORT. So nice bc the port of the decomp isnt working on my phone (it just shows a black screen but the audio still plays)

[@heehaw575]

sonic man yeah

[@T.T_CenrryTH]

Hey, since you mentioned it... Could you make a video about all the sm64 ports? That could make great content!

[@PearlRBLX]

Sonic mania is FIRE

[@Dreamcasttime]

I own SEGA Dreamcast, and I don't think that Sonic Mania is the best 2D Sonic game (CD is there for me), but i do think that this is the best way to experience 2D Sonic for people, who never saw original games, and i like it for that (Also i have PS4+ version)

[@TobytheHedgehog]

We are probably are gonna get Sonic Mania working on a Sega Saturn

[@Yoshistar238]

My first xpool video Pretty good one

[@justchan2443]

Its on the Miyoo Mini and MM+ now

[@skunksecond]

scott the woz from temu

[@diddykong891]

@XPool hugs you :)

[@HappyMoss-ig9bv]

1:58 sonic cd

[@MisterSouji]

Real talk: Where's the dreamcast port?

[@CrashFan03]

3:42 yeesh is it really that bad in america? i can still find mania plus for pretty cheap on ebay. maybe it's because that listing is sealed or something

[@CrashFan03]

also 7:22 you're playing an outdated version. the special stages run way better in newer versions of mania on wii

[@AlexPerrine]

Now let’s see how many ways you can play Minecraft Story Mode

[@Xtreme-qk5qg]

1:57 Majin referance!

[@Timotarius_]

love the video , but something tells me you have quite the love for Scott the wozz. which is understandable.

[@MyCatPlaynGames]

You forgot about the SNES Classic port, but thats ok I would have too.
