Props to Detchibe for shooting me this
Why is DDR on N64? Why is DDR on N64 a licensed michael mouse gig? Fuck you mouse bring back my trip machine and kind lady
Anyway for real tho, it's, ffffffffffffffffffffine, but like, totally and only for kids - and not like, ninja turtles and owl house kids, i mean like, the teeniest tiniest ankle biters. The hardest tracks in the game are easier than most LIGHT charts from the main series.
Respect where due tho, they commit to the bit well. The music's pretty good - not as good as Disney's Rave on PS1, but still fun, peppy, and appropriate to the 'world tunes' direction. It would've been unreasonable to use full MP3's for the game soundtrack, so instead it's all on-hardware MIDI, and generally sounds good. This is probably half the reason the N64 never got a real DDR, their asses were NOT gonna transpose this accurately.
Also get a kick out of the 3D background dioramas for each song, that's a really cute touch. 2D dancers in 3D environments is a good combination, but it made me upset there weren't more 2D N64 games. :/

Given how silky-smooth mischief makers and yoshis story are, there's reasonable room to debate N64 would've been better as a 2D console and only lacked the larger support because (A) 3d was more marketable and (B) cartridges were too small for hi res sprites

Also hard agree, the N64 needed more 2D games. We were robbed by those pesky polygons.
