"Meat Beat Mania" is a Japanese arcade game located in the Funland Arcade seen in "Arcade Mania."
About
Meat Beat Mania is a rhythm based arcade game, similar in nature to motion based video games such as the real-world "Dance Dance Revolution". It uses two hams as maraca-like controllers (player 2 uses chicken drumsticks instead). The objective is to move the controllers in the proper pattern and to the proper rhythm, as displayed on screen. It has a two player competitive mode to make use of the secondary chicken wing controllers.
It is played by Garnet as the non-violent alternative video game. This device plays a pivotal role in Arcade Mania as it lulls Garnet into a deep trance with its rhythmic game-play until Steven rips the console off and smashes the screen with it.
