Thank goodness I got that for Christmas! I began to worry when I heard that they weren't getting restocked until the spring. The game is a riot, and by that I mean it's not only fun but also super hilarious. Every single time I play Garden Boogie and see the 3 Koopas waving their arms to the cool music I laugh hard. I also love the Mario remixes, especially "Jump! Jump! Jump!" that makes you want to shout and jump off the walls.
Watoad: Don't give up on DDR! It's so fun when you get good at it (and nice to learn a new type of game). The first time I played it I had the same trouble you did and my feet kept missing the buttons until I wanted to play Kick Kick Revolution by kicking the TV off the stand. But if you practice over and over then eventually you can get a mental picture in your head of where they are, like the buttons on a controller. However, beware of the down arrow because that little monster is so easy to miss if you're not careful! As long as the mat doesn't slide around too much, you really listen to the beat, figure out good foot movements, and never give up, then you can handle the tough stuff and move on to harder things. You can do it!
Here's a little warning for beginners who are going to play Mario Mix. When you play Deep Freeze and later songs on Very Hard, make sure you're ready to do crazy things that will make your legs fly around. I really don't like to hear that this game is easy because I'm having enough problems with this alone!
BLF1: Hope you can get the game soon.
Oh what else haven't I done?
- Written Mario fan fiction (but may soon).
- Been to Disney World
- Seen Old Yeller, the Rocky movies, or some other popular shows
- Read all of the Chronicles of Narnia books (but I'm on the second one now)
- Rode a snow mobile, hot air balloon, or hang glider
