Mambo a Go Go, is amusic video game produced byKonami as part of theirBEMANI franchise of games. Players must rhythmically beatconga drums as colored notes fall from the top of the screen. There are 3 drums, each one divided into three sections, giving players a maximum of nine places to hit.
The game predominantly featuresLatin music including "Mambo No. 5", "La Bamba" and "El Bimbo", the song that served as the basis for "El Ritmo Tropical" used in theDance Dance Revolution series.
Mambo a Go Go is likely one of the most obscure BEMANI games released, as it was overshadowed by another music game produced bySega;Samba de Amigo. Despite this, some songs such as "Gamelan de Couple" and "La Bamba" were popular enough to make appearances in other BEMANI series games such asbeatmania,Dance Dance Revolution, andpop'n music.
A release ofMambo a Go Go in the United States under the titleMambo King was planned, but never materialized.[1]
In Japan,Game Machine listedMambo a Go Go on their September 1, 2001 issue as being the eleventh most-successful dedicated arcade game of the month.[2]
