Martial Beat is a game created by Konami for the arcade and PlayStation in Japan in 2001. It is based on the players' actions by use of wristband sensors.[2] The game was shipped in a modified Dance Dance Revolution cabinet, with the sensors and the game's art on it. Although there are two sets of selection buttons (as Dance Dance Revolution supported two players), the game is one player only. To play the game, one needs to follow the on-screen instructor, and when a red light turns on located on top of the screen, the player must perform the move by repeating the instructor.[3]
