Family Fun Fitness is an accessory created by Bandai for the Nintendo Entertainment System , similar in appearance and basic function to modern-day Dance Mat s and in a sense their ancestor. However, the mat predates dance games as a genre and was used for sports. In appearance, it's a mat, laid out on the floor, with several pressure-sensitive sensors. Each side has a different button layout. It was bundled with the Stadium Events game (also known as Athletic World) and originally released in Japan as Family Trainer in 1986 . It had a short shelf life during September 1987 . Nintendo re-released this accessory as the Power Pad and Stadium Events was re-titled World Class Track Meet . The game and the mat are more or less synonymous. The game has five tracks with varying hazards and requirements, and features running, jumping, hopping on one foot, moving left or right and ducking. Performance can be graded. Pressure-sensitive controller mats were later known as Dance Mat s. |
