Micro Maniacs is a racing video game developed by Codemasters for Sony PlayStation and Game Boy Color. It is a spin-off to the popular Micro Machines games, the main difference being that instead of vehicles players control tiny characters, although a few racetracks feature the use of vehicles by the characters. Also, the characters are able to jump and use individual abilities, and they each have a different acceleration rate.

The Game Boy Color port has terribly disorienting fake 3D enviroment. The race tracks are simply laid out differently from what your eyes might lead you to believe. I often found myself hitting a wall where there isn't supposed to be one. The character sprites are also confusing, so it is hard to tell exactly which direction you are going, and where you will end up after a jump, which is made worse by the game's Escheresque fake 3D issue. I also dislike the fact that the game is stringent with you staying on track, penalizing you for even the slightest deviation from the track marks - a far cry from the usual Micro Machines' multitude of shortcuts.

All races on all modes won. All characters and secrets unlocked. I used all characters during the playthrough, but mostly V4 and Vortex. There are no endings in this port. -
