As a proud Nintendork, this version of DDR pleases me. The fam & I had a lot of fun with it when I was a kid. It's nothing to write home about, and its arguably inferior to most other DDR games mainly due to how watered-down the difficulty is, but it's still fun. Decent remixes of classic tunes combined with timeless DDR gameplay. Worth trying out of pure curiosity if nothing else. Plus, having a ridiculous dance-off final battle with Bowser will never not be hilarious.
I can't say I particularly enjoy this even compared to other ddr games, but there are some certified bangers on the soundtrack that can't be ignored.
as someone with Normal (obsessive) amount of knowledge about the Mario Series but had this as a bit of a blind spot, this felt like meeting god
what? You really think I was about to use a dance pad for this? Still a good game though.
I played this with a friend who had the fastest feet this side of the Mississippi and one day he told me he was moving away. I told him to take it because I knew I would never be as fast a stepper as that lad.
i think this was my first rhythm game, reminder to not roll up your old ddr mats cause they're broken now
I was a big DDR player when I was a kid and I remember playing this version and being so bored with it. The novelty wears off in about 30 minutes and you're left with a mostly bad selection of songs that are much too easy if you've played any other DDR game.
played through the entire game on a saturday or something, unlocked luigi, called it quits
Pretty weak DDR game but it has Always Smiling so that's worth at least 2 stars on its own.
holy shit geordie greep
WALUIGI ALERT! Waluigi lovers rejoice
Gods perfect game but also in my opnion easier than the other non gimmick DDR games (idk if non gimmick is the right word here, i guess i mean more like... mainline DDR? im not sure if this counts as a main or spin off)
5/5 is for my enjoyment, but i could see people not liking this because of the gimmicks. When i was younger i didnt like the gimmicks and i just wanted it to be purely ddr-like. But now that im older im fond of it. I played a lot of this on my hacked wii in summer of 2022 there was a sold month where i was playing this daily.
General plot is thin, basically the mcguffin is stolen by waluigi and you have to dance battle your way to retreive all the pieces. Story mode is longer than the other DDR game i like to compare it to the Winx DDR game. I love dance battling waluigi and making his ass wiggle.

The music still goes fucking hard
So it's DDR. But a weird coat of Mario paint on top.
Are you new to rhytm games or just enjoy things that are awkwardly Mario themed? This is a great time.
Are you a rhythm/dance veteran and looking for a new one? Look somewhere else. This is definitely not great for those who've put in their marathons on DDR already.

For a Mario-themed DDR game, this is surprisingly bland and not that fun.
they definitely could have done better with a mario DDR game. Mario has some of the most iconic music in all of gaming, and instead of really going into that music catalog they instead just do a lot of techno/eurobeat covers of classical music with the occasional mario song thrown in there. If anything though the story and visual animations of the mushroom kingdom breaking it down never stops being amusing, so maybe play it for that factor alone. As a DDR game, it is on the easier side of things as it is meant for kids, so all the experts expecting bowser to bust out the next paranoia revision in his dance-off are going to be slightly disappointed.
Yes I had Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix and two dance pads. No I did not keep it. Yes I have looked at the prices on eBay since then and regretted getting rid of it.
This game was absurd. Love seeing Nintendo doing goofy shit like this. Something really great about seeing Mario and Waluigi cutting it up in a dance battle and moving in ways no Mario character has moved since.

First DDR ever owned. Pretty fun memories from it.
Why is this actually good
rated 4 stars for the absurdly banging soundtrack, one of my favs of all time (the game is mid though, genuinely funny how everything here reuses Mario Party assets)
Funny dance game
GameCube had some of the best games of all time, hands down....it also had DDR Mario Mix, because this is a fallen world.
O BOWSER FAZ BREAKDANCE
É um ótimo guia de exercícios, e vem músicas de brinde? Incrível...
Another amazing game soundtrack, with such a funny concept for a spin off mario game
Waluigi should have been the villain for the whole game.
C'etait trop drole mdrrrr
funny motion capture go brr
Given my love of this and Donkey Konga, it could very well be that I have a bias toward rhythm games featuring Nintendo characters.
But hey, this shit is fun as hell.

Ads for this game made me feel like I was looking at the future when I was a kid
Pretty strange game. It’s solid though.
