'''''Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix''''' (known as '''''Dancing Stage: Mario Mix''''' in Europe and Australia) is a [[Nintendo GameCube]] game in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] based on | '''''Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix''''' (known as '''''Dancing Stage: Mario Mix''''' in Europe and Australia) is a [[Nintendo GameCube]] game in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] based on the ''{{wp|Dance Dance Revolution}}'' video game series. The game utilizes an included ''Super Mario''-themed dance mat, referred to as an Action Pad. To play the game, the player must step on the up, down, left, and right arrows when they line up with a bar on the screen, called the step zone. The player can choose to play with either [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] in a number of modes and difficulty levels with nearly 30 songs. However, players have the option to play with a controller if they lack a dance mat. | ||
''Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix'' is the second dancing game to be released on the Nintendo GameCube, after ''{{wp|MC Groovz Dance Craze}}''. While ''Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix'' does not have an official difficulty chart for its songs, the game is not as intense as standard versions of ''Dance Dance Revolution''. Comparing using the difficulty measurement system introduced in [https://remywiki.com/CS_DDRMAX2_NA ''DDRMAX2 -Dance Dance Revolution 7thMIX-''], the Easy difficulty uses only left and right arrows, which standard ''Dance Dance Revolution'' games do not have; Normal difficulty is equivalent to Beginner; Hard difficulty is equivalent to Light; and Very Hard difficulty has a mix of Light and Standard. However, songs on Super Hard difficulty contain a mix of Standard and Heavy songs. | |||
The game includes a Story Mode, which the player must clear at least twice in order to unlock all of the songs in the game. | |||

The opening scene starts out with [[Waluigi]] breaking into [[Truffle Towers]]. This is troublesome as the [[Music Key]]s are able to grant any wish. However, when Waluigi opens the door to the room of the four Music Keys, they all scatter across the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] except for one that Waluigi gets to keep. Meanwhile, [[Toad]], having seen this, rushes to tell Mario or Luigi, depending on which character the player chose. | |||

Toad warns Mario (or Luigi) that someone has stolen the Music Keys and explains the trouble that this causes. Mario decides to stop Waluigi, and Toad decides to come with him to Truffle Towers. On a boat, the two cross a river, and after climbing a vine, they reach Truffle Towers. However, once there, the two find the doors to Truffle Towers locked. Waluigi then laughs and tosses a [[Bob-omb]] at them, knocking Mario down a nearby [[Warp Pipe]] into a cavern filled with [[Goomba]]s, though Mario is able to get out by dancing, causing the mushroom he is standing on to grow. After Mario escapes the cavern, he and Toad enter a shop run by a [[Lakitu]], who has the key to Truffle Towers. He agrees to give it to them only if Mario is able to get rid of the [[Koopa Troopa]]s playing in his farm. After Mario does so, Lakitu gives him and Toad the key, and the latter two enter Truffle Towers. Inside is Waluigi with one of the Music Keys; he refuses to return it unless he is beaten in a dance-off. After Mario and Toad beat him, Waluigi is gone and the Music Key is recovered. Mario and Toad set off on the [[SS Brass]] to recover the other keys. | Toad warns Mario (or Luigi) that someone has stolen the Music Keys and explains the trouble that this causes.

Mario and Toad return the Music Keys to their original place, though soon after [[Bowser]] appears and steals the keys. Mario and Toad sail to [[Bowser's Castle]] in the SS Brass, and after dodging oncoming [[Bullet Bill]]s, they arrive at the castle. Bowser is about to use the Music Keys when he finds that they are gone, Mario and Toad having stolen them back. Bowser then challenges Mario to a dance-off, and after Bowser is knocked away with a rocket, he is defeated. Afterwards, Bowser admits that he was going to use the keys to fix his tone-deafness. Mario then uses the keys to turn the area surrounding Bowser's Castle into a green field, and everyone suddenly feels strange and starts to dance. The keys are then returned to Truffle Towers, and Mario finally goes [[Mario Bros.' House|home]]. | Mario and Toad return the Music Keys to their original place, though soon after [[Bowser]] appears and steals the keys.

Then, standing in the center of the Action Pad, the player can simply step on an arrow when it reaches the step zone: left, right, up, or down. As the difficulty rises, moves such as jumps to step on two arrows at the same time are required, when the player must move around the mat quickly. | ||
Incidentally, the game can be sold by itself without the Action Pad. The regular controller then uses {{button|gcn|stick}} or {{button|gcn|pad}} and the face buttons for directional input, with {{button|gcn|Y}} for up, {{button|gcn|A}} for down, {{button|gcn|B}} for left, and {{button|gcn|X}} for right. | Incidentally, the game can be sold by itself without the Action Pad.

Getting "Perfect!"s and "Great!"s not only increases the player's dance meter but also adds a combo onscreen. When the player gets a combo of 100, the announcer comments and arrows flash differently when players step on them. A combo stops if the player does a misstep (Early, Late, or Miss). As with all ''Dance Dance Revolution'' games, the announcer comments on the player's dancing skill and grade along the way. This can be turned off in the Options menu. If the player's dance meter empties, an option can allow the player to finish the song right away, but the player still gets an '''F''' grade. | Getting "Perfect!"s and "Great!"s not only increases the player's dance meter but also adds a combo onscreen.
