With the complicated dances out the window, Louis instead used more simple moves like a dab—which begins and ends every dance sequence—Carlton’s dance from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and The Monkey, a ‘60s kitsch classic repopularized by cartoon character Johnny Bravo. This all combined to make for a control scheme that’s both super engaging and much more exhausting than pressing a few buttons, considering he had to run up to his keyboard every time he needed to dodge enemy attacks and then reset the motion controls with a T-pose.

“After playing Dancer with motion controls, I don’t think I can ever go back to just keyboard and mouse,” Louis adds. “Shoot, I might even do this until my Dancer gets to level 80. This was a very fun workout and my face still hurts from smiling so much.”

Louis’ handle might ring a bell for frequent Kotaku readers. We previously covered his attempts to control a Final Fantasy XIV Astrologian with a Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Disk as well as the time he played through Dark Souls 3 using a Ring Fit Adventure controller. It seems like Louis can’t help but make every gaming session into a test of physical fortitude, but by god, do we love him for it.

While Microsoft’s much-maligned motion-capture peripheral may not have taken off with the Xbox 360 and Xbox One, now we know it’s good for at least one thing.

If you want more of these unique Dancer controls, Louis recently conducted a three-hour livestream over on Twitch. Hop on over and give him some love.
