Nintendo Dance Dance Revolution Mario Mix Bundle

Simply cool

Posted Oct 18, 2006 - Dance Dance Revolution Mario Mix is a great pickup for any GameCube owner. It has Mario or Luigi go on a quest to save the Mushroom Kingdom from doom through the power of dance. With a workout mode you can keep track of how many calories you lose while playing. There are minigames to unlock and also more songs. If you've never played a DDR game this the game to start with. I never did until I picked this up. Now I play, my father plays, my little cousins. With Mario, anything is fun.

Dance Dance Revolution Mario Mix

Posted Jun 27, 2007 - Dance Dance Revolution Mario Mix combines the dance-pad craze DDR with the Nintendo armada of Mario characters. Just as in any other DDR game, you step on the dance pad arrows (either left, right, up, or down) in time with music to match icons scrolling vertically up the screen. This version features a story concerning Mario and the Mushroom Kingdom. Of course the rather flimsy story is just there to progress you to different stages, many of which feature Mario in a dance-off against another character. There are also minigames like a Whack-A-Mole variation. The game is fun and will get you off the couch and exercising (a bit). It will probably not be much of a challenge for DDR veterans, but might be a good first DDR game for children or people who just want to approach the game casually. The only problem in this respect is that there is a very limited save feature. Once you fail any of the stages in the linear story path a certain number of times it is game over and you must start at the beginning again. This can be somewhat frustrating for children who may then give up on completing the game. However, you do keep songs and modes unlocked throughout the progress of the story mode (which can be played during free play). On the plus side, the game is compatible with the Wii (as are all Gamecube titles). The only other problem with the game is that it has been rare on and off for a while and barring a reprint from Nintendo it will continue to become harder and harder to find for a reasonable price.

DDR Mario Mix

Posted Apr 9, 2008 - DDR Mario Mix is a great game for the beginning DDR player, or for those who are looking for something new. Featuring a number of Nintendo-themed songs, it's certainly a soundtrack you'll never find elsewhere. While the difficulty is not up to par with the mainline DDR series, some songs can have you breaking a sweat all the same.

DDR for the gamecube!

Posted Nov 29, 2007 - DDR Mario Mix is another DDR with the same type of game play: Step on the corresponding arrows at the right time but this difficulty is really watered down in this version. This, of course, makes the game very boring after a little bit as the whole "challenge factor" is not there.
