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 based on Konami's Dance Dance Revolution series. The game uses 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. The game uses the same engine from the GameCube installments of the Mario Party series, including reusing character models, animations, and sound effects. A unique feature of the game from other Dance Dance: Revolution titles is the addition of the Mush Mode, where various Super Mario-themed items replace arrows with their own gimmicks to increase the difficulty of the song.

Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix is the second dancing game to be released on the Nintendo GameCube, after 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 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; Very Hard difficulty has a mix of Light and Standard depending on how far in the story the song is; and songs on Super Hard difficulty contain a mix of Standard and Heavy songs also depending on far in the story the song is.

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 songs are electronic dance music covers primarily from various aspects of the Super Mario franchise, including songs from not only the mainline titles but also the Mario Party series, Paper Mario series, Mario Kart series, and more. In addition, a number of songs in the game are rearranged from classical, royalty-free songs such as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's "Turkish March."

Story Mode[edit]

From the instruction booklet:

Someone has stolen the Music Keys, which contain the power of music! They were locked up in Truffle Towers for safekeeping, but someone broke the seal and unleashed this power onto the Mushroom Kingdom. Now the chaotic power of music has begun to wreak havoc on the land, causing floods, whirlpools, and other disasters.
Once again, it's up to Mario to save the day! Only this time, he's got to do it in his dancing shoes! Legend has it that dancing can make magic happen. And Mario's going to need all the magic he can get to recapture the scattered Music Keys and restore order to the world.

The opening scene starts out with Waluigi breaking into Truffle Towers. This is troublesome as the Music Keys 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 Goombas, 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 Troopas 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.

Toadette confronting Toad and Luigi in Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix

Toadette confronting Luigi and Toad

On Mario and Toad's way to investigating a seaside area, a cyclone suddenly appears and causes the SS Brass to spin out, turning a nearby hotel into a corkscrew. Toadette, the owner of the hotel, comes out and scolds Mario for ruining her hotel. Mario, however, decides to dance to fix the hotel, and after the hotel is fixed, he and Toad set out to sea, only to get caught in a whirlpool. They escape the whirlpool and sail to a nearby island to rest. Here, they find a shop run by a pirate Lakitu who has a device called the Boogie Booster, which will allow their ship to travel through the whirlpool. Lakitu refuses to give it to them, though afterward decides that they duel to decide who can have the part. After Mario and Toad beat Lakitu, he installs the part onto their ship, allowing them to get through the whirlpool. Toad notes that the Music Keys have something to do with the storms, and the SS Brass sails into the whirlpool down to an underwater temple, where a Music Key is being guarded by a Big Blooper. After defeating it in a dance-off, Mario and Toad retrieve the second Music Key.

Mario and Toad head to their next destination, Wario's carnival. They arrive at the entrance, which is blocked by two Hammer Bros. who refuse to let Mario and Toad through unless they are able to beat them in a dance-off. After Mario beats them, the Hammer Bros. allow them to enter the park. Inside, they see Wario riding a roller coaster while carrying a Music Key. Mario and Toad chase after him on the roller coaster and on foot until finally cornering him in front of a Ferris wheel, where he states that he plans to use the Music Key to wish for his own game: DDR: Wario Mix. Wario then challenges Mario to a dance-off on the Ferris wheel, though when he loses, he gives Mario the Music Key.

Mario and Toad's next destination is a snow-covered mountain, where they notice the final Music Key inside a Freezie at the top. After Toad fails to climb up the slippery path, they instead enter a nearby Warp Pipe leading to an underground tunnel that ends up taking them higher up on the mountain. After warming up in a nearby log cabin, they reach the top of the mountain and try to claim the Music Key, though the Freezie does not give it up. Toad suggests melting it, and after Fire Flowers are used on it, the Freezie melts, and Mario and Toad claim the key. The two then sled down the mountain, though an avalanche follows them; after avoiding the avalanche, the two set off back to Truffle Towers.

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 Bills, 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 home.

Background characters[edit]

Gameplay[edit]

Action Pad[edit]

The arrows, step zone, and Mush Mode UI

a mat from Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix

Dance Mat v1

Dance Mat v2

Included with the game is a dance mat, referred to as an Action Pad, that plugs into a controller socket on the GameCube. 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 or and the face buttons for directional input, with for up, for down, for left, and for right.

Dance meter[edit]

At the start of each song, a dance meter appears in the upper left corner (and upper right corner for two players and boss battles/dance-offs). It consists of ten stars, with each song starting with five (this can be varied with items). As the players get "Perfect!"s and "Great!"s, the meter rises. When they miss, it decreases. In the Options menu, the player can set how much a miss decreases their dance meter, and in Story Mode, the higher the difficulty, the more they lose. The meter flashes if the player is under two and a half stars. If the dance meter runs out of stars, the song ends automatically, and the player gets a "Failed" message and an F for the song. In Story Mode, the player loses a life.

Grades for each step[edit]

Each step the player makes gets a grade that affects the player's overall score, by giving points per step:

Perfect!: The player hit the step right on the mark. In actuality, there is a margin of error for this step. If they hit the step exactly, the arrow flashes white; if they miss it slightly, it flashes yellow. Either way, the player earns the maximum points for the step.
Great!: Also known as Super. The player hit the step almost perfectly. The player earns half the maximum points for the step.
Early/Late: The player missed by a bit. The player earns no points, and the dance meter stays the same.
Miss...: The player did not step on the arrow at all. The player earns no points, and the dance meter decreases.

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.

Grades for the song[edit]

When the player keeps their dance meter filled and gets a "Cleared" message at the end of the song, these are the possible grades:

A (AA in the Japanese version) – "Can I call you a dancing master?" This is the top grade, earned with a couple, if any, missteps.
B (A in the Japanese version) – "You're a fantastic dancer! You should dance one more time!" This is a very good grade, earned with very few missteps.
C (B in the Japanese version) – "Bravo!" This is a fair grade, earned with some missteps.
D (C in the Japanese version) – "Excellent!" This grade is earned with a significant number of missteps.
F (D in the Japanese version) – "Wha-wha-what?" (international) / "Aw, you couldn't make it!" (JP). A ton of missteps lead to this grade, even if the player clears the song.

Two major factors decide the grade for a song: the number of missteps in relation to the song length, and total points. As the difficulty rises, more missteps can still mean a better grade (B), but the A still requires barely any missteps.

Difficulties[edit]

An example of Super Hard difficulty in "Underground Mozart"

Easy: Includes only left and right arrows.
Normal: Basic cardinal steps.
Hard: Steps per song are up to 200 at times. Common patterns appear in step sequences.
Very Hard: The number of steps is from 125 to over 200 in some spots. Complicated patterns that require shuffling of feet and moving off the center occur.
Super Hard: Over 200 steps in each song. The song "Bowser's Castle," for example, has 337 steps. Offbeat steps may also take place.

In Story Mode, the player can choose Easy or Normal at the beginning of the adventure, and this choice stays permanent throughout all the songs. It can be changed only by a Music Wand. When Story Mode EX is unlocked, the option to play on Hard becomes available, and when that mode is cleared, Very Hard is unlocked.

Dance-offs[edit]

Two players, one as Mario and the other as Luigi, can face off in any song at any difficulty like Free Mode. However, the initial package comes with one dance mat. A second one must be ordered online at Nintendo's official website.

Modes[edit]

Luigi dances off Wario in Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix

Luigi against Wario

Story Mode: Waluigi has stolen the Music Keys from Truffle Towers. Toad accompanies the brother of the player's choice in this adventure.
Free Mode: All the songs played in Story Mode are unlocked in this mode, where the player can play any desired song at any difficulty, Mush Mode on or off.
Minigames: These unlock themselves while the player plays Story Mode. A list of these can be found later in the article.
Workout: When the players enter their names and weights, the number of calories burned are kept on record. Before Story or Free Mode is started, has to be pressed to set whose record will be updated.

Types of arrow patterns and Mush Mode[edit]

Arrow patterns[edit]

Pattern	Description
1/4 step	The most common and basic step of the song, placed on their beats. Songs are composed entirely of 1/4 steps on lower difficulties.
1/8 step	1/8 steps are placed halfway between beats of the song and are glowed in colors opposite of the 1/4 steps. These are more frequent on higher difficulties.
Jump	Two arrows that must be stepped on simultaneously, requiring the player to jump to hit them both. Left and right and up/down jumps are the most common, while having a horizontal and vertical arrow for a jump is less common (such as ↑ →).
Staircase	A set of arrows going from right to left or left to right, appearing as a stairs shape onscreen.
Drill	At least two sets of notes at least a 1/8th apart, alternating on two arrows. Appears only on Super Hard songs.
Jackhammer	A series of quick, consecutive notes of the same arrow.

Mush Mode[edit]

Mush Mode is the Mario twist to the standard series genre. Common enemies and items from the Super Mario franchise replace steps on the screen and must be either stepped on or avoided. Others cover the screen when the player misses steps, giving the player less time to react. Initially, Mush Mode is enforced in Story Mode, but it can be turned off in Options. Mush Mode is optional in Free Mode. On the hardest difficulties, two Mush Mode effects are not uncommon.

Mario and the Boo gimmick

Enemy/Item	Description
Goombas	Just like with regular arrows, the player should step on Goombas, squashing them.
Koopa Troopas	For each one, the player should step on it once to put it in its shell, then once more to either defeat it or send it down the screen to destroy a step. For the latter to occur, the player must get a white-flash "Perfect!" step.
Bob-ombs and Podoboos	Podoboos replace steps, and when the player misses one, it hits a Bob-omb, greatly decreasing their dance meter. In dance-offs, Podoboos are passed off to the other player and timed back in with the song.
Cheep Cheeps	Cheep Cheeps curve into the screen, giving the player less time to see where to step. They work in the same way as Podoboos in dance-offs.
Spinies	Like with Shock Arrows in later Dance Dance Revolution titles, stepping on Spinies' spikes causes them to explode and decreases the player's dance meter. On the harder levels, they can be timed with real steps. Red Spinies move faster than green Spinies.
Bloopers	When the player misses a mini-Blooper (which works as a regular step), ink covers the bottom of the screen, and the player cannot see arrows coming up. The Big Blooper moves a tentacle up the screen at a fast rate. On harder difficulties, two tentacles may move up at once.
Hammer Bros.	Represented as hammers, Hammer Bros. appear only during "Hammer Dance." They act the same as Podoboos in single and dance-off mode. If the player misses a hammer, it explodes, decreasing their dance meter.
Coin Switches	Stepping on a Coin Switch (which moves faster than regular arrows usually) turns all arrows into coins for a few seconds, helping the player obtain coins in Story mode. Some of them curve in like Cheep Cheeps and move fast. The better the step grade (Perfect to Early/Late), the longer the arrows remain coins.
Boos	A Giant Boo sits on the bottom of the screen, and as the player misses steps, it moves up, blocking more of the incoming arrows (creating, in essence, the effect of the "Sudden" modifier in other Dance Dance Revolution games). Stepping on mini-Boos pushes it back down.
Cheep Cheeps ("Frozen Pipes")	Cheep Cheeps pop up and change a step's direction halfway up the screen, sometimes even later. On harder difficulties, two may come up at the same time.
Freezie	Appearing only in "Deep Freeze," Freezies act just like the Boos and Giant Boo, except a huge Freezie covers the screen, and when the player steps on a Fire Flower, a fireball moves down the screen into the Freezie.
Ice Spinies	These act identically to regular Spinies, but they do not have a visible color difference.
Bullet Bills	These are found only during "Always Smiling." Bill Blasters line up at the bottom of the screen and occasionally shoot Bullet Bills timed as steps. The player must step on them to redirect them back to the Bill Blasters. A Bill Blaster has to be hit three times to get destroyed.
Rocket Parts	These are exclusive to the song "Bowser's Castle." Rocket parts replace some of the steps during the song, and they have to be stepped on to build a rocket to the right side. Three consecutive parts fire a rocket at Bowser. Missing a part decreases the player's dance meter. If the player cannot shoot enough rockets at Bowser (and the fireworks sequence does not play), the player fails the song.

Minigames[edit]

Minigames are unlocked when the players play them in Story Mode. In Story Mode, they provide coins so that the Mario Bros. can buy items. The last two minigames can be found only in Minigame Mode.

Regional differences[edit]

When the player presses Start on the title screen, the narrator of the Japanese version says, "Let's DDR," and the narrator of the international version says, "Let's Dance."
The intro and ending of "Cabin Fever" in the Japanese version are different from the international versions.^[2]^[3]
In American English, Wario calls his attraction "DDR: Wario Mix," but in European languages, he calls it "Dancing Stage: Wario Mix."
Toadette calls the Music Keys "shiny globes" in the American English version, but she calls them "shiny keys" in the British English version.

Critical reception[edit]

Reviews
Release	Reviewer, Publication	Score	Comment
Nintendo GameCube	Matt Casamassina, IGN	8/10	DDR Mario Mix is a great Nintendo-ized take on the old dance formula and the first rhythm / music title to hit GameCube that's worth your consideration. The title plays like DDR with Mushroom Kingdom characters and locations. But it does have its share of extras, too, including a unique, (albeit shallow) storyline that reminds us of a Mario Party outing, a variety of logical dance locations and competitions, and some fun mini-games. The biggest disappointment is that there aren't more popular music tracks and Nintendo track remixes to inspire your groove.
Nintendo GameCube	Kristan Reed, Eurogamer	7/10	For the poor, deprived Cube owners out there that have been thus far denied the chance to strut their stuff in front of their TV, this is easily the best Dancing Stage title on any platform. That it's exclusive to the little Nintendo boxlet might just help make up for the long wait, and the fact that it comes in a nice big box with a mat included helps sweeten the deal. Sure, Dancing Stage Mario is nothing new, but it's an enduring, bizarre little concept with practically universal appeal, and a great way of wearing out super energetic kids.
Nintendo GameCube	Avery Score, GameSpot	7/10	DDR: Mario Mix is an introduction to dancing games, and it isn't suitable for fleet-footed veterans. This is too bad, because rhythm action fans would really appreciate the long-overdue gameplay revisions Mario Mix brings to bear. However, with a short story mode that serves as a fun, linear introduction to sequential stomping, Mario Mix is suitable for a child, or for an uncoordinated friend.

Trivia[edit]

The highest score for a song is 100,000,000, achieved by getting a "Perfect!" on all 337 steps in the song "Bowser's Castle" on Super Hard difficulty.
World 1-2 is considered different from the other boards. Its EX song, "Pipe Pop," is the only EX song in the game that is not related to a Nintendo composition whatsoever. World 1-2 is also the only board where both the original starter song and the EX song are remixed from the same artist, who is Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
This is the only game in which Waluigi appears but not Princess Peach.

+'''''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 [[Konami]]'s ''{{wp|Dance Dance Revolution}}'' series. The game uses 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. The game uses the same engine from the GameCube installments of the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]], including reusing character models, animations, and sound effects. A unique feature of the game from other ''Dance Dance: Revolution'' titles is the addition of the Mush Mode, where various ''Super Mario''-themed items replace arrows with their own gimmicks to increase the difficulty of the song.
-'''''Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix''''' (known as '''''Dancing Stage: Mario Mix''''' in European languages) is a [[Nintendo GameCube]] game based on the popular ''{{wp|Dance Dance Revolution}}'' video game series but with a ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' theme.

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; Very Hard difficulty has a mix of Light and Standard depending on how far in the story the song is; and songs on Super Hard difficulty contain a mix of Standard and Heavy songs also depending on far in the story the song is.

In addition, a number of songs in the game are rearranged from classical, royalty-free songs such as {{wp|Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart}}'s "{{wp|Piano Sonata No. 11 (Mozart)|Turkish March}}."

 ==Story Mode==
+'''From the instruction booklet:'''
+<blockquote>Someone has stolen the Music Keys, which contain the power of music! They were locked up in Truffle Towers for safekeeping, but someone broke the seal and unleashed this power onto the Mushroom Kingdom. Now the chaotic power of music has begun to wreak havoc on the land, causing floods, whirlpools, and other disasters.
+Once again, it's up to Mario to save the day! Only this time, he's got to do it in his dancing shoes! Legend has it that dancing can make magic happen. And Mario's going to need all the magic he can get to recapture the scattered Music Keys and restore order to the world.
+</blockquote>
 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.

 On Mario and Toad's way to investigating a seaside area, a [[Tweester|cyclone]] suddenly appears and causes the SS Brass to spin out, turning a nearby hotel into a corkscrew. [[Toadette]], the owner of the hotel, comes out and scolds Mario for ruining her hotel. Mario, however, decides to dance to fix the hotel, and after the hotel is fixed, he and Toad set out to sea, only to get caught in a whirlpool. They escape the whirlpool and sail to a nearby island to rest. Here, they find a shop run by a pirate Lakitu who has a device called the Boogie Booster, which will allow their ship to travel through the whirlpool. Lakitu refuses to give it to them, though afterward decides that they duel to decide who can have the part. After Mario and Toad beat Lakitu, he installs the part onto their ship, allowing them to get through the whirlpool. Toad notes that the Music Keys have something to do with the storms, and the SS Brass sails into the whirlpool down to an underwater temple, where a Music Key is being guarded by a [[Big Blooper]]. After defeating it in a dance-off, Mario and Toad retrieve the second Music Key.
-Mario and Toad head to their next destination, [[Wario's Carnival]]. They arrive at the entrance, which is blocked by two [[Hammer Bro]]s. who refuse to let Mario and Toad through unless they are able to beat them in a dance-off. After Mario beats them, the Hammer Bros. allow them to enter the park. Inside, they see [[Wario]] riding a roller coaster while carrying a Music Key. Mario and Toad chase after him on the roller coaster and on foot until finally cornering him in front of a Ferris wheel, where he states that he plans to use the Music Key to wish for his own game: '''''DDR: Wario Mix'''''. Wario then challenges Mario to a dance-off on the Ferris wheel, though when he loses, he gives Mario the Music Key.

After Toad fails to climb up the slippery path, they instead enter a nearby Warp Pipe leading to an underground tunnel that ends up taking them higher up on the mountain. After warming up in a nearby log cabin, they reach the top of the mountain and try to claim the Music Key, though the Freezie does not give it up. Toad suggests melting it, and after [[Fire Flower]]s are used on it, the Freezie melts, and Mario and Toad claim the key. The two then sled down the mountain, though an avalanche follows them; after avoiding the avalanche, the two set off back to Truffle Towers.

 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]].

 Each step the player makes gets a grade that affects the player's overall score, by giving points per step:

 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.

 Two major factors decide the grade for a song: the number of missteps in relation to the song length, and total points. As the difficulty rises, more missteps can still mean a better grade ('''B'''), but the '''A''' still requires barely any missteps.

 *'''Workout:''' When the players enter their names and weights, the number of calories burned are kept on record. Before Story or Free Mode is started, {{button|gcn|Z}} has to be pressed to set whose record will be updated.
-==Mush Mode==
+==Types of arrow patterns and Mush Mode==
-'''Mush Mode''' is the Mario twist to the standard series genre. Common ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]'' enemies and items replace steps on the screen and must be either stepped on or avoided. Others cover the screen when the player misses steps, giving the player less time to react. Initially, Mush Mode is enforced in Story Mode, but it can be turned off in Options. Mush Mode is optional in Free Mode. On the hardest difficulties, two Mush Mode effects are not uncommon.
+===Arrow patterns===
-[[File:DDRMMKoopa.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Help screens come up before the song for each Mush Mode effect.]]
+{|class="wikitable sortable" style="width:100%;text-align:center"
-*'''[[Goomba]]s''' – Just like with regular arrows, the player should step on them, squashing them.
+|-style="color:white;background:#FF2400"
-*'''[[Koopa Troopa]]s''' – For each one, the player should step on it once to put it in its shell, then once more to either defeat it or send it down the screen to destroy a step. For the latter to occur, the player must get a white-flash "Perfect!" step.
+!width=10%|Pattern
-*'''[[Bob-omb]]s''' – [[Lava Bubble|Podoboo]]s replace steps, and when the player misses one, it hits a Bob-omb, greatly decreasing their dance meter. In dance-offs, Podoboos are passed off to the other player and timed back in with the song.
+!width=90% class=unsortable|Description
-*'''[[Cheep Cheep]]s''' – Cheep Cheeps curve into the screen, giving the player less time to see where to step. They work in the same way as Podoboos in dance-offs.
+|-
-*'''[[Spiny (Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix)|Spinies]]''' – Stepping on their spikes causes them to explode and decreases the player's dance meter. On the harder levels, they can be timed with real steps. Red Spinies move faster than green Spinies.
+!align=left|[[File:DDRMM 14Step.png|100px]]<br>1/4 step
-*'''[[Blooper Baby|Mini-Blooper]]s and [[Big Blooper]]'s tentacle''' – When the player misses a mini-Blooper (which works as a regular step), ink covers the bottom of the screen, and the player cannot see arrows coming up. The Big Blooper moves a tentacle up the screen at a fast rate. On harder difficulties, two tentacles may move up at once.
+|align=left|The most common and basic step of the song, placed on their beats. Songs are composed entirely of 1/4 steps on lower difficulties.
-*'''[[Hammer]]s''' –  These appear only during "Hammer Dance." They act the same as Podoboos in single and dance-off mode. If the player misses a hammer, it will explode, decreasing their dance meter.
+|-
-*'''Coin Switches''' – These are more useful in Story Mode than Free Mode. Stepping on a Coin Switch (which moves faster than regular arrows usually) turns all arrows into coins for a few seconds. Some of them curve in like Cheep Cheeps and move fast. The better the step grade (Perfect to Early/Late), the longer the arrows remain coins.
+!align=left|[[File:DDRMM 18Step.png|100px]]<br>1/8 step
+|align=left|1/8 steps are placed halfway between beats of the song and are glowed in colors opposite of the 1/4 steps. These are more frequent on higher difficulties.
+|-
+!align=left|[[File:DDRMM Jump.png|100px]]<br>Jump
+|align=left|Two arrows that must be stepped on simultaneously, requiring the player to jump to hit them both. Left and right and up/down jumps are the most common, while having a horizontal and vertical arrow for a jump is less common (such as ↑ →).
+|-
+!align=left|[[File:DDRMM Staircase.png|100px]]<br>Staircase

 [[File:DDRMMboos.jpg|thumb|200px|Mario and the Boo gimmick]]
-*'''[[Boo]]s and [[Big Boo|Giant Boo]]''' – A Giant Boo sits on the bottom of the screen, and as the player misses steps, it moves up, blocking more of the incoming arrows (creating, in essence, the effect of the "Sudden" modifier in other ''Dance Dance Revolution'' games). Stepping on normal Boos pushes him back down.
+{|class="wikitable sortable" style="width:100%;text-align:center"
-*'''Arrow Cheeps''' – Appearing only during "Frozen Pipes," they pop up and change a step's direction halfway up the screen, sometimes even later. On harder difficulties, two may come up at the same time.
+|-style="color:white;background:#FF2400"
-*'''[[Freezie]] and [[Fire Flower]]s''' – These act just like the Boos and Giant Boo, except a huge Freezie covers the screen, and when the player steps on a Fire Flower, a [[fireball]] moves down the screen into the Freezie.
+!width=10%|Enemy/Item
-*'''[[Spiny (Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix)|Ice Spinies]]''' – These act identically to regular Spinies, but they do not have a visible color difference.
+!width=90% class=unsortable|Description
-*'''[[Bullet Bill]]s''' – These are found only during "Always Smiling." [[Bill Blaster]]s line up at the bottom of the screen and occasionally shoot Bullet Bills timed as steps. The player must step on them to redirect them back to the Bill Blasters. A Bill Blaster has to be hit three times to get destroyed.
+|-
-*'''Rockets''' – These are exclusive to the song "Bowser's Castle." Rocket parts replace some of the steps during the song, and they have to be stepped on to build a rocket to the right side. Three consecutive parts fire a rocket at Bowser. Missing a part decreases the player's dance meter. If the player cannot shoot enough rockets at Bowser (and the fireworks sequence does not play), they will fail the song.

+|align=left|These are exclusive to the song "Bowser's Castle." Rocket parts replace some of the steps during the song, and they have to be stepped on to build a rocket to the right side. Three consecutive parts fire a rocket at Bowser. Missing a part decreases the player's dance meter. If the player cannot shoot enough rockets at Bowser (and the fireworks sequence does not play), the player fails the song.
