Mania is the fifteenth album by the boy band Menudo and their first album recorded in Portuguese. It was released in 1984 by the Brazilian label Som Livre. The album features a selection of tracks from four previous albums originally released in Spanish and translated into Portuguese, namely: Quiero Ser (1981), Por Amor (1982), Una aventura llamada Menudo (1982), and A Todo Rock (1983).

The lineup for this project included Ricky Meléndez, Charlie Massó, Ray Reyes, Roy Rosselló, and Robbi Rosa. Notably, this was the last album featuring Ricky Meléndez as a member of Menudo, marking the end of his seven-year journey with the group. He was the last original member to leave the lineup, later passing his spot to Ricky Martin.

From a commercial standpoint, Mania achieved remarkable success, surpassing 1.5 million copies sold in Brazil, making it their best-selling album in the country.
