Sonic Mania for Wii is a fan-made port of the popular game “Sonic Mania”, originally developed by Christian Whitehead, Headcannon, and PagodaWest Games. This version has been compiled and tested to run on the Nintendo Wii platform.

The game runs at full speed and shows promising performance. Some users have reported that it performs better on the Wii than it did on the Sonic Mania 3DS.

The game has been tested on both the vWii and the regular Wii, with successful results. In addition to the base game, builds with the DLC Sonic Mania Plus enabled have been shared by SaulFabre.

Open the Settings.ini file with a text editor (ex. Notepad) and modify the file as shown:

devMenu= change the setting to enabled (write y as option; it should be devMenu=y)

v0.5.0

v5U support: Sonic 1, 2 & CD are now playable, each game will hold its own files inside of /RSDKv5/<GameName>.
Mod loader is enabled by default (NOTE: only some mods will work, most will crash the game due to memory constraints).
Various performance improvements in the Mania special stages (now occasionally hits 60fps, and should run even better when using the No Special Stage Decoration mod).
Much sharper image in 16:9 mode (thanks @LiquifiedPizzas).

Note that you will most likely need to disable overscan on your TV to make sure you see the whole picture. v0.4.0'

240p mode is here! Add runIn240p=y to your Settings.ini under [Video] to enable it. (thanks @Y2K-x)
Audio clipping has been fixed.
Fixed a crash when loading SSZ2.

v0.3.1

Fixed 16/9 being offcentered

v0.3.0

Fixed a crash when loading the credits.
Fixed a freeze when a GC Memory card was present in slot B.
The game now looks for files in a /RSDKv5/ folder at the root of the SD card. This prevents issues with forwarders and other homebrews that don't change directories before loading the executable file.

Wiimote+Nunchuk, classic controller, Gamecube controller support (thanks @Anh302kay)
When using a GC controller, you can exit the game by pressing L+R+START.
