Hitting flashing arrows with your feet is child's play; the true arcade warlords turn it into a Broadway production.

Players are graded by judges on how they integrate gymnastics, breakdancing, and elaborate character costumes into the rhythm chart, effectively transforming a rigid arcade cabinet into a collaborative digital dance partner.
