My friend got this game, and it is cool. I think tis awesome that now they make a DDR for the gamecube. It is just like regular DDR except for the one thing that i dont liek about the game, the music. Every song is some mario mix of some mario song remized or something. Its cool to have those in there, but I also like to to dance to songs i know!

I ordered this already 2 weeks ago while it said "Usually ships in 1-2 business days - sold by GameStop." Still have not received it and Gamestop does not respond to inquiries. Buyers beware.

Well they finally came out w/ a DDR game for the GCN, but was it really worth the effort??? This game is quite fun w/ the music remixes and the free mode but I think that Konami could've done better w/ the dance pad.... I mean when u just play for a couple minutes the thing moves a foot!!! Plus the story mode is way to time consuming and just plain boring!!! All people want to do is dance but they have to deal w/ all that story mode crap!!! And u only start out w/ 1 level if u dont do story mode And the game isn't really all that hard at least u can win super had if u beat very hard. plus It's all nice and stuff to have a 2 player mode also, but the thing only comes w/ one dance pad! U have to buy third-party brand if u wanna use 2 player mode...or u can use a controller but thats stupid... and dont excpect to get one under $100 after Dec.10th because they wont be selling them anymore! But if ur an early bird I would still recommend getting it! I think it deserves a 4 out of 5 star rating... And it could earn a five star when they realeas it again w/ an improved dance pad!!! Well I hope this review was helpful!!!!!!! And have fun if u buy it.

This is yet another Mario game brought to its awesome experience ever! You can now hook up a dance mat for Gamecube to dance to songs many kids remember from the birth of Super Mario to its present songs found in many of his video games [and Wario's as well]. Players can also keep track of their burned calories while playing songs in story mode or head to head with another buddy on another dance mat. There are also mini games kids can play to see how they beat their high scores while using the dance mat. You can also use a regular Gamecube controller to play if you don't have a dance mat.
Nothing here that hasn't already been done better

This game might be just the thing if you have never played Dance Dance Revolution and you only have a Gamecube--but if you are already a fan of the series, you will be disappointed.
The biggest problem is that it is way too easy. I am no Dance Dance Master by any stretch of the imagination; I am risking heart failure at just 5 to 6 "feet" on the Playstation games (out of 9), but on Mario Mix I go straight to the hardest song, set it to "Super Hard," (which requires finishing the even more tedious "Very Hard" setting) and am still bored before I am halfway through.
Not helping the situation is the weak music selection: barely 20 songs, all of them recycled from previous Nintendo titles. It's hard enough not to feel like a dork playing Dance Dance Revolution when you're over the age of 14, frankly, and it becomes quite impossible when you are doing it to the tune of "Boo Boogie" from Super Mario 2.
As nice as it is to finally see Nintendo try out Dance Dance Revolution on the Gamecube, this effort just can't compete with the versions that have been on the Playstation for years.
Great Game!!!!!!!

This is a great game for adults and kids!!! I like the songs and it is a hard game!!! A lot of people say it is easy but it is not!!!! It is not so hard that you can get frustrated. You can put it on an easy level. It is great for beginner or pro. Even adults should have fun. It makes you sweat too!!! I just wish they had more songs. You have got to purchase it!!!!!!!!
Teh Awesomeness

I always thought I had to buy a PS2 to play DDR or pay tons of money in an arcade but now I can enjoy it on gamecube. Not as many options as the one on PS2 but still worth it!
A ddr for GCN...is it worth it?

Whenever I visited an arcade I'd always spend at least $3 playing this game called dance dance revolution. I loved it, but didn't have a xbox or ps2 so couldn't buy one for my home. Well there was that MC Groove, but I think you guys will agree that's crap. Then this game came out. We were one of the lucky ones, and got it three days after it came out for $50.
I was angry to find out the only song was some variation of twinkle twinkle little star. So I did story mode. I couldn't care less about the storyline (you can't skip the cut scenes) which was really a turn-off for me. The free mode is pretty fun though when you've unlocked everything.
Which brings me to another complaint. The story selection is very poor. Only like 20 songs. And they are all weird mario techno stuff. After playing speed over beethoven and butterfly, it was kind of disapointing.
The songs are very easy. Great if you have never played ddr before, but I'm not even very good and I play Super Hard. Some would disagree with me, but this is what I think.
The graphics are about what you expect. The videos are really distracting, just to make a note of that. Mush mode is an intresting twist, but I didn't like it much.
I now have a ps2 and let me tell you, their games are much better. I have DDRMAX2 and everything about it is better. It was like 70 songs, many of which are unlocked at the start, and much harder difficulties.
All in all, this is a great choice for anyone who is under 11 or has never played ddr before. If you are a teenager, or are decent at ddr, don't get it. It was nice having a ddr game come out for gamecube, but the ps2 ones are much better.
NOTE: I am not a little kid. I am going to be 13 very soon. I just had to say that:)
