The other day, I was playing DDR:MM. I got tired of it and put in Mario Strikers. Well, I forgot to take out the dance pad when the screen loaded, so I thought, "Why not try playing with the dance pad?" So I did, and it worked! I actually got a goal with Waluigi by holding the B button on the pad, but I lost 7-2. It's harder then it looks.........Anyway, I was wondering if you guys have tried playing with the dance pad. If so, what game? Was it harder then it looked?

I played classicNES series SMB w/ the Dance Pad. It rocked!

It would seem awfully hard to run and jump with the dance pad.

Try playing with the DK Bongos next.

I considered trying something like Super Mario Sunshine with the pad, although there's no R and L, but then I realized there wouldn't be movement better than increments of 45 degrees.

Yeah, It's like playing SM64DS with the Control Pad.

I have not tried to play a Gamecube game with the Mario DDR pad, but however, I have used my brother's friend's Xbox DDR pad to try and play Halo...let's just say it was different.

Well, I tried the dance pad with many games, like Mario Party and LoZ: The Windwaker. I don't think I've ever died that much in one day....

Hmm, Mario Party with a pad wouldn't be too bad at all. I bet I could tap faster that way, even.

Don't forget that the GBA player can register input from any of the control slots. You could potentially play a GBA game on the cube using both the dance pad AND the bongos.

...provided you could find an appopriate game...
...and a way to hold the bongos while dancing.

Well, I once tried playing Megaman X7 with the DDR pad on the Playstation. I got to the first boss, too.

That thing about the Bongos and Dance Pad together reminds me of my old topic I made.

Hey, I use the control pad more than the thumb strap for that game. Don't be hatin'.

My friend and I played Jungle Beat yesterday with both the bongo's and the pad. Needless to say, It was a huge disaster.

I don't like to use touch features too much, except during dialogue in AC:WW, so I played pretty much all of SM64DS with the control pads. It didn't take away from the playing experience at all.
