80Nintendo fans will love it. A full Mushroom Kingdom-themed storyline sets up dance-offs with Nintendo music remixes and mascot mini-games.
-
70With 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.
-
A great value. If you like to visit the Mushroom Kingdom, look silly playing a videogame and wish to get in shape, rush out to your local game shop and pick up a copy.
-
A disastrous misstep. [Jan 2006, p.149]
-
60If you're new to the whole Dance Dance "thing," then you'll have a blast with Mario Mix. Interacting with a game via the dance pad is quite a bit of fun, and there are enough things to unlock and other diversions to keep you busy for a while.
-
70For 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.
-
58Mario Mix is a worthy addition to your library if you have kids 6 to 12 that would like to dance and don't mind doing so with Mario and company.
-
50If you don't own any other console and you just really want to stomp those arrows, by all means, go right ahead. For everyone else, there's simply nothing to see.
-
60Mario Mix is easier than forgetting to put the toilet seat down. If you have any DDR skills whatsoever, you'll trounce it without missing more than a step or two.
-
80As a dancing game beginner, the accessible approach to Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix hooked me more than any of the other games in the series.
-
Offers a form of exercise that will strengthen part of the body other than our bulging thumb muscles. [Dec 2005, p.118]
-
40Recommended only for DDR completists or people who would seriously consider Mushroom Kingdom cosplay. [Dec 2005, p.122]
-
50Juvenile pleasures, but will not satisfy the mature palate.
-
Mario's strongest influence is on the soundtrack, which is comprised almost entirely of remixes and remakes of familiar songs from the many Mario games over the years. These songs, many of them bona fide classics in the annals of game music, have been brushed up with various styles ranging from jazz to techno. [JPN Import]

80Konami's massively hip dancer comes out for the Cube, as Mario does the boogie to classic Nintendo tunes. A solid choice for music-hungry fans.
-
77It brings the phenomenon to the GameCube, and while far from being the best the DDR the series has to offer, in the final analysis it could have been much worse.
-
75Some things bothered me though. Firstly is that the dance pad moved around while you were playing and this would eventually lead to missed arrows.
-
82For newcomers to the series and Gamecube owners, though, Mario Mix provides an entertaining introduction to the world of Dance Dance Revolution.
-
90An auditory feast for Nintendo fans. Everyone who grew up with Mario and friends needs to see what the game has to offer, even players who have never touched a dance game before.
-
52There are many better DDR mixes out there, ones with actual challenge and ones where you can use better third-party mats. It's not that DDR Mario Mix is bad. It just doesn't take enough classic DDR elements and bogs the game down with too much extraneous junk.
-
70The mini-games and quirks to the traditional gameplay will keep you playing for a while. It's just too bad the difficulty forces the ride to end earlier than expected.
-
75If you're looking for some good, old-fashioned Mario fun with a DDR backdrop, this is the game you've been waiting for. If you're looking to get in touch with your hardcore side, it's wise to take DDR: w/ Mario with a grain of salt.
-
85As a DDR and all around dancing game beginner myself, the accessible approach to DDR: Mario Mix hooked me more than any of the other games in the series.
-
Not only will it keep the younger ones occupied for hours, but they'll be getting exercise.
-
A must for hardcore Mario buffs, as well as those GameCube owners dying to get on the Dance Dance bandwagon.
-
Best of all, this fun game hides the fact that it's packed with exercise activities (the game, like others in the series, even has a workout mode that counts calories burned). My kids played through a good chunk of the game in their first outing and constantly asked to play again.
-
82If you're new to the series, this game warmly welcomes you with its brutally easy difficulty. But steroid-using DDR veterans will dominate this game in a couple of hours, and won't give it a second thought.
-
75This isn't your hardcore aerobics DDR game. Instead Dance Dance Revolution Mario Mix is a cheerful title that is sure to entertain gamers looking for something slightly new. [JPN Import]
