First and foremost is that the song list for this game is VERY short compared to other DDR games (twenty-something songs total). There's only two gripes that I really have about this game.
Any of these can be played during story mode or free mode after they are unlocked. These are all reminiscent of activities from other Mario games, such as running to the flag-pole, and hitting goombas with a hammer (ala whack-a-mole). There are also several fun little mini-games that can be unlocked to keep things interesting. This might annoy some hard-core DDR fans, but I thought it was a lot of fun. Some levels require the player to hit these in order to pass, so even if you manage to somehow get through the song without hitting these, you still fail the level. The enemies will float about on the screen, and failure to stomp on them as they pass over your arrows usually means a major hit to your meter, or that the arrows will become harder to see. Some songs require the player stomp enemies as they dance to give this game that real Mario feel. Unfortunately, this can take away a bit of the challenge from the game, but if you want a challenge, you can always just avoid buying items. In this mode, you can also buy items t o make the going a little easier, such as extra lives and items to keep your dance meter from going down when you miss a move. It's here that you unlock the songs that can be played in free mode, most of which are remixed Mario Bros. This involves Mario (or Luigi) dancing around the Mushroom Kingdom in search of the four music keys. But this game introduces a lot of new elements that make the game entirely unique in the series. You step on the arrows as they appear, and if you do it with precise timing you get more points.
Mario Mix is, in many ways, just like any other DDR game. He plays just about every sport known to man. He's a doctor, a plumber, and a master of disguise. He saves princesses, kingdoms, and the world on a regular basis. It seems that these days Mario can be found doing just about everything. Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
One day, they will be old enough to play :) Read full review Now, I am playing as a 35-year-old mom and my 5 year old and 5 month old are entertained watching me while I am having fun and getting in some exercise. It's hard to believe I played it almost 15 years ago. Once you earned the songs, you're good to go and can play whatever, whenever in "Free Mode." The storyline is very cheesy and forced, and it takes way too long to go through all the unnecess ary dialogue amongst characters. Who plays DDR for the graphics anyways? You have to play Story Mode to earn songs - which is obnoxious. Since is a GameCube game (played on a console that uses AV cables), the graphics aren't great. Like all DDR games, it's great exercise without feeling like exercise. Most of the songs are remixes of songs from older Mario games (upping the nostalgia factor). The super hard levels will still provide a challenge for experienced players. You won't find comparably easy levels on Playstation DDR games. It's also great for DDR noobz because it has easy levels that provide some very basic practice. Disney Grooves supports up to four players using dance pad controllers, two of which are included with the game.Great game for those who grew up on Nintendo and want to get into DDR without buying a Playstation.
