The Dance Dance Mario Mix Revolution mat is not only more responsive, but it is filled with vertical grooves which feel good on bare feet. It also has a sticky backing on the bottom to help keep the mat from slipping around. There is a silhouette of a break-dancing Mario in the center of this mat; making it a cool collectible for Mario lovers.
The game itself is based on the Dance Dance Revolution games that have become so popular. There are a couple major differences however. The Mario game still requires you to get up and hop around on the mat to play the game, and it does have music that you play to. That’s about it for likeness though.
The DDR games require some fast footwork for some of their songs, and you get graded on performance. You won’t see that in the Mario game. There are no grades, and even on the hardest level the steps aren’t too fast. You will hear the music on Mario, but on the screen you will see the awesome graphics for the storyline of Mario. In the Mario you are actually playing the game instead of just dancing to the arrows flashing on the screen in Dance Dance Revolution.
Because of the slower pace, and the storyline, this game would be perfect for some of the younger players. They will still get the exercise, but they will really enjoy the game. There are multiple levels to conquer, and bad guys to stomp on, as well as mushrooms to chase. There isn’t any grading to discourage the younger players either on the Dance Dance Mario Mix Revolution game.
