Battlemaniacs adapts the Battletoads hit with the frog warriors in demanding platform combat. The Master System version keeps the daunting difficulty, environment variety and offbeat humor despite obvious technical constraints. Solid for hardcore genre fans.

Description
Battletoads beat'em up from Rare adapted for the Brazilian market, published by Tradewest in 1994 in Brazil via TecToy. Three muscular toads against the Dark Queen, levels on foot, on a bike and on a tank-car, two-player co-op and the infamously punishing difficulty.
