About Sonic Mania
Sonic Mania is a side-scrolling platformer that pays homage to the original Sega Genesis Sonic the Hedgehog games. Players choose from Sonic, Tails, or Knuckles, each with unique abilities, and speed through 13 zones that include redesigned stages from past games alongside original levels. The game features special stages for collecting Chaos Emeralds, time attack with online leaderboards, and split-screen competitive multiplayer.

Sonic Mania port: quick answers
- Do I need to own Sonic Mania?
- Yes. Sonic Mania Decompilation needs game files from a copy you own. PlayPorted links only to the project page and never to game files.
- Is the Sonic Mania port finished?
- Yes, the project calls it playable. Its last update was Nov 2025, and the latest release is v1.1.1.
- Which systems does it run on?
- Windows, macOS and Linux.
- Is it an emulator?
- No. Sonic Mania Decompilation rebuilds the game's source code, so it runs as a native program instead of through an emulator.
