Fantastic game for young and old alike

We bought this game for my 5 year old for Christmas and, truth be told, the game is really too hard for him. If he were to have to play it alone only he would have given up on it. However, I (their Dad) love it, and he likes to play when I play. He still struggles with it, but he is starting to do a little better. If you asked him what he wants to play at any given time it wouldn't be DDR Mario Mix due to the difficulty, but with time I'm sure it will become a favorite for him. As for myself, I love the game. It's great exercise and yet also really fun. I'm not a DDR expert, in fact I'd never played a DDR game prior to this. To me the game seems to offer a wide range of difficulty to choose from, from very easy, to seemingly impossibly difficult. The story mode story itself is dull for a Dad, but not bothersomely so, and the actual dancing and mini games in it are fun. The story does capture my kids so they like me to play it, which is just as well since you need to play the story mode to unlock more songs in free mode. Free mode is great, especially 2 player, so pick up an extra dance pad.

I guess there are DDR players out there who don't think the super hard levels even on the hardest/fastest songs are super hard, but to me even "hard" mode seems super hard. Easy is easy. Normal is moderate to difficult depending on the song. Hard is hard to super hard depending on the song. Super hard is unattainable (for me.) I enjoy playing the game even on easy, which is great because then my son and I can play on the same difficult level and that makes it easier for him. It's a tremendous game and I highly recommend it to all.

I just bought this game Yesterday evening after yearning for this for about 6 months. Better than what I percieved it to be like in other people's reviews. The story mode is pretty fun your first way through it on Easy mode and The story is pretty cool except some of it makes no sense, like there is a part when mario is jumping on a flower and some how it magically blooms and bounces mario up on top of a mountain and later in the story Mario has to go back up there and he has to jump on a flag to some how magically appear there when he could of just hopped on the friggin flower. Well anyways this game comes in a box bigger than the one the gamecube comes in so that might scare you from purchasing it in a store because you may think you have to buy a Gamecube with it but you really don't. The box is so big because the Dance Pad is fairly large. When I went to go buy this at Wal*mart the clerks thought it was a gamecube and were wondering why it was so light. LOL! The songs on this game kicks ass. There is a huge bundle of remixed mario songs, some dance songs from 3rd party groups, and atleaste one from other Nintendo games.(Original Donkey Kong Theme Remix) The "Work Out Mode" if you heard about it isn't really a mini-game were you work out. it just changes the option of your weight and tells you how much colories you've burnt throughout your plays through this game. I think the Dance pad is kind of cheap. I worry that I might break it when I wear shoes so I always wear socks or go barefoot while playing, the bottom is white and some how dirt gets attracted to it, the plasticy material that covers the top of the pad wrinkles up if you drag it and sometimes you will move out of place on the mat while your playing and really screw up. Other than those few problems I'm satisfied with my $53.00 purchase of this game and I've lost about 5 lbs so far playing it non-stop (almost).

Moms & Dads - You'll get your $$$ worth on this one!

I have a 15 and 10 y/o - Both love this game. It's not going to sit around collecting dust. Whenever friends come over it turns into a dance contest. I love to hear all the giggles and laughter this games causes. I enjoy it myself and get quite winded, which makes it fun to exercise! You can't beat that. Highly recommended!

I love this game! It uses music from Mario games and makes them spunkier so they are fun to dance to. You have to unlock the songs in story mode, then you can play them in freeform. The songs get harder and harder as you go, and you can play on easy, normal, or hard. Remember that the game is only for Gamecube, and it only comes with one mat so you may want to get another so you can dance with your friends. I think it makes a great Christmas present for kids like me!

Not only is this a game...

This isn't a game. Well, actually, it IS a game. But that's not all it is. It's also an exercise tool. Obesity is spreading all throughout the USA, but no one wants to exercise because it's not fun. With DDR, it is. You dance, which is exercise, and have fun at the same time. It's a lot of fun. It can also be a challenge. If you have a GameCube, I definitely recommend purchasing this product.

My kids have been playing this for HOURS!!!

Unlike most GameCube games, which only give your hands some exercise, this one is a whole body workout! My kids (12 & 13) have been playing on it for hours and hours. They've actually been a little sore from all the jumping! It's currently their game of choice, and it's amazing how many different things there are to do in the game. Lots of fun, even for grown-ups who really don't know anything about video games.

Amazingly Entertaining

I just got this game today, and I can already tell you this is one of my favorite games of all time. No, I've never played a DDR game before, but I am a Mario fan, and I thought this game looked like a ton of fun. I was right. I've probably never been this entertained by a video game. The idea of dancing to a game is such a great concept, and I love the fact that this game will count how many calories you burn playing. You can also enter your weight, and update it as you lose or gain weight, so you can see how you're doing. It's already been said by many others that this game will not be very challenging to DDR veterans, so, I say, if you're a newcomer like me, get this game and just enjoy it. It seems to me like this game will never get old. The Mario tunes bring back great memories, especially the SMB 3 music. There are several difficulty levels to choose from, and I can tell you that hard and very hard can be quite intense. I believe there's also an unlockable Super Hard mode.

awesome workout!

By Cloud,
Dance with Mario
Defeat Wario
Play as Luigi
With a little squeezy
His name is Toad
When there's snow on the road
Rock to the sound
All around
Battle the Koopa King
And shake your groove thing
Word!
