Manic Pietro is a 128K remake of MM created for the ZX-DEV M.I.A-Remakes contest, using the NIRVANA+ engine. The game features AY music (3 AY songs) and 13 different AY effects.

The protagonist of the game is Pietro, who is a clone of Mario from Mario Bros.

Manic Pietro has two sets of caverns: 20 brand new ones and 20 original ones. The original caverns can be unlocked using a secret code revealed after completing the new levels. There are also other secret codes to unlock some hidden features and "continue codes" to continue the player's progress from the previous level.

The game features two unique Intro Screens and two unique Final Screens. These screens are presented in two language versions: English and Spanish (while the room names are all in English).

The keyboard is redefinable.
