<BLOCKQUOTE>On July 14th, Mario invites you to boogie down on his own dance party, staged courtesy of Nintendo and music games veteran Konami. It's the first time the incredibly popular Dance Dance Revolution franchise makes its appearance on GameCube, and does so with a bang: no need to dust off the disco ball yourself, DDR with Mario blasts onto the scene with driving beats, lots of mini games and unmistakable Mushroom Kingdom charisma.

No doubt at all, it's a full-fledged DDR title, that the Bemani community will just love to shake their dancemat-experienced limbs to. What makes this Ninty edition unique is the inclusion of a storyline, where someone has stolen the Music Keys and released the music they held. Without these keys, the unstable power of sound is wreaking havoc on the land. Mario himself must recover them before the chaos destroys the entire Mushroom Universe! The path to the keys is simple: Left, Right, Up, Down, Right, Down... Choose from famous Nintendo icons like Mario, Luigi, Toad, Waluigi, Wario and Bowser and clear levels by performing the correct steps. Once all the levels in a particular world are behind you, a Music Key awaits as your glorious reward. You guessed it: the path to victory is collecting all of the keys in the game.

Please check out the Nintendo dance with the official E3 trailer from this year, offered in either Windows Media Player or Quicktime form:

Players control Dance Dance Revolution with Mario by stepping on different arrows on the dedicated dance mat. According to Nintendo, this cool peripheral will not only be released at the same time, but even be included with the game! Now you can finally experience the thrill of grinding Goombas and other enemies into the ground firsthand. As you clear songs, you will unlock more tunes, minigames and difficulty levels. Split-screen mode allows the dance frenzy to be enjoyed by two players, where while depending on skill, the invitation to sabotage your opponent will certainly prove irresistible. As the US version (DDR: Mario Remix) is still some way off, Bemani and Nintendo fans alike can look forward to playing the upcoming Japanese version of Dance Dance Revolution with Mario in just under a month now. It has been confirmed today that the game will come out bundled with the GameCube official Dance Mat Controller.
