Trouble Shooter in Japanese ('バ ト ル マ ニ ア - Battle Mania), is a side-scrolling shooter game starring two girls, the game received a very different theme of autoparodia between enemies, history and dialogue, developed and published by Vic Tokai in the USA, Canada and Japan for the Sega Genesis in 1991.

A Madison combat agent is assigned to rescue a prince who is held hostage. The player controls Madison (Mania Ōtorii (torii マ ニ ア, Ōtorii Mania), Japanese), who is always accompanied by his partner, Crystal (Japanese, Maria Haneda (汤 田 マ リ ア, Haneda Maria)). Unlike Madison, Crystal can reposition her fire, allowing her to shoot behind Madison and be immune to all enemy fire.

This game unfortunately could not be distibuted in Europe or Brazil due to some problems with Sega in that region, it enjoys an excellent gameplay that reminds of certain titles, its artistic level is very good at the level of sound effects and graphic details, in gameplay its controls are very basic and comfortable.

This game proposed one of the sound experiences that the Genesis offered in terms of sound with very good acceptance, which was adapted to the game area and type of situation in which the player is at the time.

The soundtrack was composed by Hiroto Kanno who did an excellent job creating the music in a game that looks like an arcade, each of its tracks go hand in hand with the atmosphere of the game and level where we are. It worked on the chip that offered the Genesis which was the famous Yamaha YM2612 which almost melodies seemed almost CD quality

This game with has 24 tracks per levels and some additional as menu or among others.
