Thanks for the list! I was actually checking out Castle of Illusion on SMS about a year ago, but the music was so irritating to me that I had to stop playing LOL. I even posted a thread about it
here. But I think I just need to suck it up and give the game another shot. I really like the SMS, I just hate the way some of the games sound.

I've met a lot of folks who love the game and consider it to be THE standout Mickey video game. It certainly has some charm, I do like that each stage is based on a specific vintage cartoon, but I thought the game design was too messy for my tastes. Some levels just felt like they were throwing a lot of random things at the player rather than focusing on providing a well-crafted experience. I've played worse games, but I'm definitely hoping that I like Castle of Illusion more...
So I was just looking into Mickey Mania, and it has some strange pros and cons between ports. Regarding the Genesis and SNES version, the SNES has some nicer looking graphics (stuff like clouds in the sky, fire, the usual difference between Genesis and SNES) while the Genesis has that typical dithering. But strangely, the SNES version is missing some things and has loading times between sections. The Sega CD version adds even more content, like voice clips and sound effects and some other things, but also has loading times. The graphics still looks the same as the Genesis though. But comparing these three versions, it looks like the Sega CD port is best.
Then there's the strange PS1 port, which was a PAL exclusive called Mickey's Wild Adventure. This version has mostly new graphics, including some 3D elements. Very PS1 2D looking graphics, if you know what I mean. It definitely looks better than the Sega and SNES ports, but you could argue that it looks different and not necessarily better. While the graphics are definitely better, you could argue that the Sega and SNES ports look more like a hand drawn cartoon.
I want to check out both the Sega CD and PS1 versions. There's
a patch for the PAL PS1 game to convert it to NTSC. However, I'm having trouble finding the correct dump of the game that the patch works with. The patch readme says to use a game image from the redump set with a CRC32 hash of 6BA284AD. I've located two different redump dumps of this game, but neither have the correct hash. Does anyone know where I can find a dump of this game with the correct hash?
