Yes, I played the Sega Genesis version of Mickey Mania on the Sega Mega Drive Mini. :) It was quite fun and really good in all terms.
I played the Ps1 version of this game at one of my friends and I would say it is my favorite version.
According to Jon Burton (one of the people at Traveller's Tales who made this game), the Mega Drive version is the original version and the SNES version was ported shortly after. I believe he said as much during his own playthrough of the game on his GameHut channel, though I might be wrong. Also, the Mega Drive version has a secret bonus level based on The Band Concert that is absent from the SNES version (I can't remember why, but I think Jon mentioned that as well during his playthrough).
I can't help but wonder why the SNES version is the only one that doesn't have a running filmstrip at the start of Steamboat Willie, why the Mega CD version of the level swaps the two tunes and why the PlayStation version of the game has a different name. In any case, the PlayStation version appears to be the definitive version with its enhanced graphics and soundtrack, the latter of which is shared with the Mega CD version.
(Whoops, I forgot that you lose the uploader's heart reaction if you edit your comment 😖)
Yeah, you can even tell from the color usage that MD was the base port for the SNES version, instead of the other-way round.
I guess the lack of filmstrip in the SNES version is because of resolution. Horizontal resolution of 256 vs 320 from the MD original
The ps1 version had a glitch where only the music can play sometimes, i don't know if that is cause of backwards compatibility.
Unfortunately the PS1 version was only ever released in PAL regions (and the game renamed “Mickey’s Wild Adventure”), for some reason.
Duckstation makes justice for the awesome PS1 port as you can force the game to run at 60Hz/60 frames (optional), making the game run at the same speed of the Mega Drive/Mega CD versions.
My favorite is Genesis.
@@Koven_Sabbathpoint out where the other versions Mega CD, PS1, SNES had a loading time?
all 4 (four) versions seem to have the same length of time to start up = no loading times
Hot diggly dog! Thanks pal for liking my game
@@jasonlee7816 where Mickey looks at his watch against a pure black screen. Those are loading screens.
The developer of the genesis version makes note of this in his walk through of the game.
Your favorite is PlayStation
The PlayStation release isn't so bad, but my favorite is the Genesis original.
It really does seem like the Genesis version was the OG, the console where this game was centered on before being ported to the others.
Interesting they changed the title of the PlayStation version to “Mickey’s Wild Adventure” from it’s original “Mickey Mania” title. Did they think someone might notice?
Is so strange that the music in the Sega CD Version of that game swapped places.
I think the Mega CD version is better. However, due to no loading times, the Genesis version is the fastest version.
I remember back in the day thinking that it was sad that it loads faster from a CD than the SNES did from a cartridge! By the way, nice Intro! Did you use blender to make it?
Thanks! Yes, we used Blender for the 3D part and After Effects.
@@retrosutra Awesome! I can muddle my way through After Effect but I've only installed Blender and then never touched it. LOL!
@@retrosutra no its 2d
@@retrosutra In terms of cartridge based Mickey Mania ports, I will always have a soft spot for the SNES version. The music and sound effects were more noticeable, and the SNES version taught me to be patient while the game loads.
@@retrosutra my favorite is Sega CD and Genesis :)
12:09 Man I could never get past this part when I was a kid, no joke.
I love the SNES version, however the megadrive port seems quicker, more responsive and the ps1 version clearly wins in most departments
SNES has the definitive sound for it, but the high quality music and visual quality of the PS1 is great. The Genesis version is awful, with its CD version being marginally better.
@@FuzedBox how is it awful?
@@FuzedBox Nintendo fanboy spotted. The Genesis version is universally known as the better cartridge version of the game, the SNES version being the worst of all versions (missing one stage, some animations and effects, etc.)...
@@camulodunon Because it's not : it's actually superb for a non-CD 16-bit game, and superior to the SNES version in almost every way.
@@Shyning77 Child spotted; only children call people "fanboy" in order to invoke a response.
I own both carts. I also own three Genesis consoles (including a v2 Sega CD) and four SNES consoles, plus Analogue FPGA clones of each. The MG/Genesis sound chip, the Yamaha YM2612 FM synthesis chip- is far inferior to the SNES's audio subsystem which included its own processor. That is an indisputable fact. The sound profile is subjective, but the technology is not.
We can argue all day about sound preferences. Genesis titles had an amazing raw synthetic sound, but that sound didn't always translate well to tracks composed in an more organic fashion, such as those found in Mickey Mania. The SNES had a broader color palette at a hardware level and had a cleaner look on that title.
Cons to the SNES version:
-Lacks a SHITTY (subjective) stair sequence in the Mad Doc's lair
-Adds an annoying loading screen
-Lacks one insignificant level
Cons to the Genesis:
-Looks like dog shit
-Sounds like dog shit
-Controls feel somewhat wonkier (subjective)
The Playstation version is undoubtedly the best, but I did not own that version until several years ago and it lacks nostalgia value.
I own the SNES one, but I do like the Sega CD, extra voices and soundtrack a little bit better
Notice how the parrots go from sounding like crows, then sounding like chickens.
11:25 who the hell left a piece of hair on the film effect lmaoo
The genesis is my favourite i really liked the drums sounds
Same. Matt Furniss really knew how to make the MD/Genesis sound great. And yes, the quality of drum samples is always great in his work (cf the MD/Genesis versions of Mortal Kombat 1 & 2).
The boss music is really good.
I can't believe that there are people who sate the PS version is the definitive version, when the gameplay is in slow-motion, compared to the older versions. I really love the genesis version, the SNES has too many sound effects that I feel it simply an incomplete experience, I can overlook the loading (from cartridge) times, but not the missing sound effects. the mega cd version is nice as well., but not sure why I prefer the sound of the genesis version
There is a NTSC patch for PS1, it is the best version
No doubt that the versions of Mega Drive and Mega CD are superior and even the PS1 version has very rare points of improvement over Sega's 4th generation consoles.
Sega CD and PlayStation version looks amazing
Great video. Didn't even know there was a PS1 port of this game. Used to play it on my 16 bits though.
Wow, all of them are pretty nice. I can't decide my favorite.
Мне по душе версии SEGA CD.
Я люблю все версии, потому что в них Микки, а это незаменимая часть всех версий. Я слушаю саундтрек 1.2 уровня (по версии SEGA CD это 1.1) и кайфую: такое чувство будто встретил старого кореша, а у него хорошие новости☺!..
Но SEGA CD у меня играет ключевую роль из-за своих преимуществ (как и с играми Demolition man, Terminator (жаль не сделали Т-2 на эту же консоль, а ведь собирались), Chuck Rock, Sonic CD, (если бы была Вселенная Стивена: Кино, то упомянул бы и её. Думаю игра по этому фильму на эту консоль была бы прекрасна): сцены из фильма, катсцены - это, как и звук прекрасные качества SEGA CD!
Las versiones de Mega Drive y Mega CD para mi son las mejores. 👍👏👏👏👏
Great video of very fun game. If the PS1 port had an NTSC release, it'd be my favorite. As it is, neither of my 2 CRTs handle a PAL signal, so for me, by default I prefer the Genesis and SEGA CD versions. The SEGA CD version is especially nice. That said, I have used the retrotink 2xpro with the PS2 via HDMI into the HD CRT I have (this is definitely inconvenient though and don't do it often), and Wild Adventure works mostly okay that way. Though it's noticeably less smooth than the NTSC releases here in the side-by-side and I can tell it's not quite as smooth when playing, it's actually not too bad on a CRT and certainly playable at least.
There is a way around it, sort of. There's a NTSC hack you can download and make an iso of to play in a chipped machine.
0:15 - Super Nintendo
3:53 - Sega Genesis
7:19 - Sega CD
10:28 - PlayStation
Play version looks visually the best. But recently I completed the SNES version. Couldnt finish it when I was a child, too hard back then! Still an amazing game to play in any console.
sega cd, great sound and smooth gameplay
Love the PlayStation version.
I re-learned to beat this game on hard and starting with minimum lives about a year ago. Sega CD has the "ultimate version," no doubt.
I love the Snes version.
Genesis is better
@@saniquinho10PS1 and Sega CD are better
*Mario Mania*
Stage 1, Super Mario Bros. (1985)

I’m just curious .
What CPU would the Sega cd use when doing games that are not FMV?
Does it default to the genesis 68k at 7.6 MHz or does it use the 12.5 MHz in the Sega cd?
If the later, does that reduce slow down?
It's not as simple as just running game logic on the SegaCD sub-cpu. Specifically because it doesn't have direct access to z80 space (to instructions for SFX and stuff), game pad input, video, etc. It would have to ask the main cpu to do that. Not saying it's not possible, just saying it can be cumbersome. And from what I've seen, almost all games do not use the SegaCD sub-cpu in that way. Would be nice to get a list of games that do use the sub-cpu for main game logic though!
@@TurboXray thank you for explaining that.
It’s a shame the Sega cd’s extra specifications weren’t easily taken advantage of.
They could have almost just put in a plain cd without any extra chips or memory and just used it for music.
Was the 12.5 MHz 68000 and extra ram only included so FMV could be used?
The graphics are very similar on all 4 systems, but the PS1 has the best sound for sure. This is a kids game that is extremely well done, as was the case with all of Capcom's games back then, especially the Disney ones.
Capcom didnt make this game. It was developed by Travellers Tales and published by Sony Imagesoft
@@acquiesce3 Ah, easy assumption to make though. Capcom's Disney games always had a high quality look to them.
@@JustWasted3HoursHere yeah they did. I guess it really doesnt matter who developed it, just that it is a great game... which it is :)
IMO SCD sounds slighty better. (Yes there are small differences from what I remember).
I can't decide if I like more SNES or SCD for music because SCD has high qualiry music that sounds like a movie/cartoon.
But exactly for that the SNES ver. competes to it as it sounds more like a videogame and fits it better.
Even if PS1/CD sounds cleaner of course, the SNES sounds pretty high quality too.
For the Genesis, I don't like much its sounds compared to others because it doesn't fits cartoons like Mickey Mouse.
The soundchips works better for cartoony games using Pac-Man 2's style (first and only example that comes on my mind), that it does for Mickey's.
Still I appreciate the work done for the Genesis because, on the other hand, I don't think it could've sounded better than this. It's FM chip simply doesn't fit IMO
Genesis has no loading screens so it's better
Good job travellers tales
I'm surprised about the differences. On the snes version they carried on the front wave in to the second section to compensate for the ocean not moving. Its also missing the end of level (boss fight if you will) music and they just stop rather than you going up to steamboat Willie. Obviously with the playstation, they colour the scene as you progress rather than hide it behind a building, but the ps seems sluggish. Guessing you used a pal version for that one.
PS1 version was only pal release I think.
We want Mickey Mouse! We want Mickey Mouse! We want Mickey Mouse! We want Mickey Mouse! (repeatedly)
The genesis game is the masterpiece of jon burton
They’re all good! Too bad the PS1 version isn’t available for NTSC. I like the color palette.
SNES, una pequeña maravilla!!
13:09 holy shizzle lancer
Megadrive is my favorite version.
The Mega CD is the best version. Most authentic graphics and sound. The ps1 has fake drawn colors.
is mickey mania the first game to have voice acting in it (not counting that game where you must escape a place and a robot voice says stuff like "the intruder must not escape" because that game uses a synthesizer to create the robot voice)?
My favorite sega cd
sure all versions are better than snes in terms of quality but the snes is the only i could jam to, pace and sounding very magic when i was child was amazed and now still amazed how great sounds.
The PS1 game looks a lot better than all the others, but I think it only exists in PAL version, which is a pain to make it work, even on emulators.
Aside from that the best version to me is Sega CD. It has the inherent Genesis speed and tight controls with more animations and the best possible music
Cool
Ps1 is my favourite because it looks and sounds exactly like an old cartoon
Amo la de sega genesis la tube de niño.. la mejor
Mu favorite is sega cd and sega genesis
I didn't know the Snes version has loading screens
That because SNES Mickey Mania has no loading screen
@@jasonlee7816 then play the game and you’ll notice them
@@jasonlee7816 how convenient for you.
@@Joe-rw3wf Load when mickey looks at his watch. just a few seconds.
@@pobleyou seem confused with another SNES game
All of them
IMO between Genesis and SNES, the latter wins and between Sega CD and PS1, the first one does.
Even then, these ratings are based on small things (such as music for example) because every version is good!
I like the Super Nintendo Version, because it was the first version of the game.
Well it was originally a Genesis game ported to the SNES
@@thetonberryslair the genesis was the original but the snes one was published first
@@yop506 that's odd
I want to play the SNES on the console!
Mega cd has no boat whistle in the intro cutscene.
Is There Anyone Between The Ages of 20 to 50 Making A CZcams Channel About The Future of Walt Disney Games?
Mega Drive ! ❤️
fun fact the PlayStation version is a Remake and not a port That's why it's so different
My Favorite Version was All Comparisons, Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Sega CD, PlayStation, Was Very Good for me, Sorry for all Texts, but forgive me, I trust you!
A versão definitiva de mickey mania é a de mega drive, a de ps1 é muito boa, mais trocaram o nome do jogo e tem loading screen e tbm é muito lenta, a de sega cd tem musicas trocadas e pioradas
Somente trocaram nas regiões com PAL
Sega CD > Genesis > SNES > PlayStation
Mickey mania cd and ps1 is similar at sonic advance 2 and super Mario advance because Mickey can speak
Can you please do Fantasy Zone?

I Like SNES Version!
Sega CD / Genesis / Playstation / SNES.
The PlayStation version looks kinda strange imo
I wonder what the PS1 version would look like on a CRT~
None of them is bad but the CD-Rom based have richer music and sfx
Genesis mickey mania birds sounds remind me of chicken invaders.
El mi yo de super Nintendo ❤
Sin duda alguna Disney a SEGA génesis de alguna manera otra siempre le daba las licencias por eso hacían tan originales los juegos y mejores que las otras consolas
I prefer black and white Mickey jumping backwards on the snes.
I Love Sega Genesis
gosto da versao CD, que inclui algumas vozes do Mickey
Hol up, CD?
Ultra Version : Ps1
Pro version: sega cd
The standard version: sega genesis
Lite version: snes
Genesis takes the wins.
Therefore, I do remember playing this on Sega Genesis
1:34
Sega Genesis is the best version! I still play it
I LIKE -> ALL VERSIONS COMPARISON !
SMD IS BEST !
Sega CD & playstation.
SEGA CD AND PS1

you chose it because?
Genesis for me. PS1 version looks better, but you don't even need the spring drops.
Best version is still the Genesis.
you mean the snes
cuphead before cuphead, kinda...
The PlayStation version has the best graphics but the snes version has the best music
Muy buen juego me acuerdo que lo jugué en el play station y me gustó. Parecía si fuera como un remake de todos los cortos antiguos de Mickey mouse.

@@jasonlee7816 I like SNES.
Pequeña comparativa en snes y génesis (que son las versiones que he jugado y pasado):
En snes se pierden varias animaciónes, se pierde un nivel entero, un par de secciones y muchos sonidos que retroalimentaban la experiencia como por ejemplo, sonidos que te hacían reconocer cuando dañaste algún enemigo o alguna canción como la del jefe del primer nivel (en la versión occidental). Todo solo porque la música suena en una calidad más cercana al cd, no significa que suene necesariamente mejor que génesis, ya que en génesis los instrumentos pueden llegar a sonar más movidos mientras que en snes suenan más genéricos (recuerden que puede llegar a ser subjetivo pero es lo que noto)
Por último, al igual que en muchos de los juegos multiplataforma de la generación, en génesis tenemos mayor rango de visión que en snes, cosa que más allá de facilitar el juego, hacer el juego más justo para que no te golpen tanto por algo que no viste, más con este juego que la primera vez que lo juegas no es tan fácil.
Mejor versión: Sega Genesis
¿Por que no hay una version para nintendo 64🤔?
No se por que pero la versión original de Mickey Mania no es la de SNES, realmente la versión original es la de Mega Drive (Más conocido como Genesis en America), y poco despues el juego fue porteado a la SNES y a la Mega CD (Más conocido como Sega CD en America) y por el ultimo 2 años despues el juego fue porteado a la Playstation con el nombre de Mickey's Wild Adventure, que siempre esta fue la mejor versión de Mickey Mania por que tiene más colores que las otras versiones.
