Battletoads in Battlemaniacs is a Super Nintendo side-scrolling platform game released by Tradewest in 1994.

The story opens with the 'Toads visiting the Gyachung-La fortress in Northern Tibet, where the Psicone Corporation is demoing their new virtual reality game system, TRIPS. Suddenly, a pig lackey working for the evil Silas Volkmire and his sidekick, the Dark Queen, leaps out of the system and kidnaps Michiko Tashoku (daughter of Psicone Corporation's head honcho) and Zitz. Now the remaining Battletoads must make chase into the Gamescape, rescue the two captives, and stop Volkmire and the Dark Queen from fulfilling their plans to control the world.

In this game of up to 2 player, you control Pimple or Rash. Both Battletoads have combos and moves to help them defeat their enemies. The artistic style is decidedly cartoony, with exaggerated weapons protruding from the 'Toads' limbs to deliver the coup de grace.

The levels vary from the usual side-scrolling beat 'em up fare to more exotic types, such as the superfast Turbo Tunnel race, the Snake Pit, and the Rollercoaster, where a rat chases you along the course with a circular saw, always ready to move in for the kill. Overall, Battlemaniacs' difficulty is considered in the uppermost strata of the SNES library; many players make it no further than the Turbo Tunnel, which is level 3.

This game was also ported for the Sega Master System by Tec Toy, for the Brazilian market, where Sega's system was then still popular.
