Dance Dance Revolution Mario Mix, known as Dancing Stage Mario Mix in Europe and Dance Dance Revolution with Mario in Japan, is a 2005 music video game by Nintendo and Konami for the Nintendo GameCube, and is the first Dance Dance Revolution game to be released on a Nintendo console outside of Japan. The game features several of Nintendo's popular characters, including Mario, Luigi, Toad, Toadette, Waluigi, Wario, and Bowser. The game is bundled with the dance pad controller.

Plot

The game opens with Waluigi stealing the four Music Keys, who can grant wishes, from Truffle Towers. However, when he tries to open the door to the room containing the Music Keys, three of them scatter across the Mushroom Kingdom, and the fourth one is kept by Waluigi. From a distance, Toad watches these events unfold and rushes to tell Mario or Luigi, depending on which character the player chose, who then rushes off to retrieve the missing Music Keys.

The keys are recovered by completing tasks for other characters who have found the scattered keys and then defeating them in a dance challenge. These characters are, in order, Pirate Lakitu, Waluigi, Blooper, Hammer Bros., Wario and Freezie.

Toad and the player's character then return the Music Keys to their Truffle Tower. Soon after, Bowser steals the keys, but is followed by Toad and the player's chosen character. The enter Bowser's Castle to recapture the Music Keys, and are promptly challenged by Bowser. After defeating him in a dance-off, Toad and the player's character return the Music Keys to Truffle Tower for the final time, as the game's ending sequence plays.
