Survival Arts (サバイバルアーツ, Sabaibaru Ātsu) is a 1993 fighting arcade game developed by Scarab and published by Sammy. It uses digitized images of real actors with blood and gore, similar to Midway's arcade hit Mortal Kombat.

Ports for the Super NES and Sega Genesis were announced in early 1994, but quietly cancelled the following year.[2][3] The monks from Viper's stage later appeared in Dyna Gear, another arcade game developed by Scarab and published by Sammy.
