TL;DR
- A developer has just released an unofficial port of Super Mario Galaxy on Android.
- There are some notable glitches at this juncture, but performance is otherwise great on even budget Android devices.
- The port comes roughly two weeks after the Wii game was first decompiled.
We saw a major milestone recently as Super Mario Galaxy became the first Wii game to be fully decompiled. This reverse-engineering milestone opens the door to fan ports of the game on other platforms, while also helping the community understand its inner workings.
Now, developer Mohammed Huzaifa has released an unofficial Super Mario Galaxy port on Android, called Galaxy-Android. This port, which is available on GitHub, is indeed based on the aforementioned decompilation, though the developer also clarifies that it was an “AI-assisted” port.
