Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a rhythm-action game where players control Mario or Luigi to recover stolen Music Keys. Players engage in dancing and minigames to progress through the story, earning coins and aiming for high scores. The game combines musical challenges with a classic Nintendo adventure premise.
Story
LET'S DANCE!
Someone has stolen the Music Keys, which contain the power of music! They were locked up in Truffle Towers for safekeeping, but someone broke the seal and unleashed this power onto the Mushroom Kingdom. Now the chaotic power of music has begun to wreak havoc on the land, causing floods, whirlpools, and other disasters.
Once again, it's up to Mario to save the day! Only this time, he's got to do it in his dancing shoes! Legend has it that dancing can make magic happen. And Mario's going to need all the magic he can get to recapture the scattered Music Keys and restore order to the world.

Clear or Fail?
When the dance is over, your dance meter determines the final results. If you have cleared the stage, CLEARED appears on the screen. If you have not cleared it, FAILED appears.
