As a dancing game beginner, the accessible approach to Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix hooked me more than any of the other games in the series.

Konami's massively hip dancer comes out for the Cube, as Mario does the boogie to classic Nintendo tunes. A solid choice for music-hungry fans.

For the poor, deprived Cube owners out there that have been thus far denied the chance to strut their stuff in front of their TV, this is easily the best Dancing Stage title on any platform.

one of the best games of all time it is Mario dancing it is very good. Better than gta 5

este juego lo jugamos en directo con 5 persona, y realmente nos ha gustado bastante la historia es super olvidable pero justificable para que mario baile a cada rato, la musica es increible tiene las mejores remixer de la saga mario, y la dificultad es estable, lo unico malo es que hay pocos personajes jugables, solo hay mario y luigi pero en general es un juegazo

Is this officially the weirdest Mario game in history of mankind. Indeed, it is. But that's not to say that it's a bad game in particular. The game is fun to play, and it'll really get you moving. It plays just like Dance Dance Revolution, but with Mario's mix into it, you'll be playing as Mario jamming to a bunch of remixed version of Mario music from past games. There is a story to it, and it's weird as all heck. Waluigi (yeah, WALUIGI) steals these things called the Music Keys in order to cause chaos across the world. So Toad goes out to find Mario to rescue these Keys and restore order to the mushroom Kingdom. I'm not exaggerating, that's the story. Don't be expecting any other bits and pieces of the story, 'cause that's pretty much it. (Other than a few cutscenes here and there) There's also multiplayer, allowing you to grab another friend of yours and (as long as you have 2 controllers) play competitively. The story and graphics are mediocre at best, but the gameplay is solid. If you love playing Mario games and listening to catchy remixes, this might be your jam!

An auditory feast for Nintendo fans. Everyone who grew up with Mario and friends needs to see what the game has to offer, even players who have never touched a dance game before.

Mario's strongest influence is on the soundtrack, which is comprised almost entirely of remixes and remakes of familiar songs from the many Mario games over the years. These songs, many of them bona fide classics in the annals of game music, have been brushed up with various styles ranging from jazz to techno. [JPN Import]

Surprisingly one of my favourite Mario games, I really love this game. The story is ok for a game, but it is good for a Mario game, and the best I have seen in any dancing game. I started playing this and before I knew it, over 2 hours had passed. Both Mario and Luigi are playable in story mode. I love this game, I really do.

It brings the phenomenon to the GameCube, and while far from being the best the DDR the series has to offer, in the final analysis it could have been much worse.
75
Some things bothered me though. Firstly is that the dance pad moved around while you were playing and this would eventually lead to missed arrows.

A must for hardcore Mario buffs, as well as those GameCube owners dying to get on the Dance Dance bandwagon.

A disastrous misstep. [Jan 2006, p.149]

Recommended only for DDR completists or people who would seriously consider Mushroom Kingdom cosplay. [Dec 2005, p.122]

I loved this game as a kid. The reason being not that I loved Mario, but I had never known about this type of game before. It was awesome and had some memorable moments. I liked the fast songs the best, since my way of "dancing" was highly unorthodox. Spent a lot of time with this game

This game is possibly the only recent Mario game you could finish in one hour. But that doesn't mean that it's bad. I think that the mat is the bad part. Is there anyone besides me who found that the DDR:MM mat doesn't work that well? Maybe it's a defect, but the first time I played the game, I kept getting Game Over because none of the keys were pressing. But anyway, back to the review. The story is actually well-crafted for a DDR game. Waluigi gets his moment in the spotlight, but I would've wanted to see more of Waluigi in the game. The villains' snappy and witty dialogue really give the game its angst. The music is also great for nostalgia-philes. But the beautiful and happy ending will make you remember this game for a long time. Maybe,just maybe, you'll push aside Resident Evil Zero and Wave Race: Blue Storm, so that you can reach this game in your shelf. Put it in the GameCube, and relive the magic of Dance Dance Revolution: Mario ****, and Toad is a sidekick for the first time since Super Mario Bros. 2.

This game has a decent array of songs, and numerous arrow gimmicks that normal DDR lacks. It also has a coherent story mode, and while not the best thing out there, compared to DDR's lack of any plot it is definitely something. However, if you've already played DDR and become good at it, you will be disappointed if you are looking for added difficulty. Even the hardest song in the game is no more than an 11 or 12 on the current DDR scale.
SummaryBoogie down with Mario in his own dance party. Players shake their things to more than 25 dance-flavored songs, from classic Nintendo themes to familiar favorites. With five difficulty levels, dancers of all abilities will be able to get into the groove. The special "Workout" feature tracks the calories burned while playing. Someone has ... Read More
