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]

Song list

Songs from the game are a compilation of Dancemania licensed tracks from DDR 4thMix and DDR 5thMix. Every song has only one difficulty level.

Footnotes:

  • To unlock Dub-I-Dub on the Home Version, one must pass attack mode. This song is always played on mirror difficulty
  • In a similar way to unlocking Paranoia on Dance Dance Revolution, passing your second stage with an A or higher will unlock access to Lupin the 3rd '78 as your final stage
