Maniac Mansion Mania is a series of Fan Sequels created by LucasFan from 2005 onwards. They are based on Maniac Mansion and sometimes Day of the Tentacle. The game involves Maniac Mansion characters in a unique style that is spread out episodically, like a TV series. The episodes are thus arranged in seasons, though there are also non-sequitur specials. Most episodes are comedic.
