I like this game, I remember playing this with friends back when I was 8 years old... So much nostalgia. My friend's cousins were playing it and I was so interested... but I wasn't sure if I wanted to try it. Then his cousin was telling me to try it (though he was telling me to use the D-Pad instead of the control stick for some reason [most likely to trick me] but I still used the A B Y X buttons

). I tried, and I did decent. I played on Normal and we did a few songs; Underground Mozart, Deep Freeze, Always Smiling, Jump! Jump! Jump! Bowser's Castle, Hammer Dance, and more songs. Then eventually... I got to trying Hard. Was more of a challenge, but I still managed to pull it off.
Then a year later when I went to Florida I went frantic searching for this game and found it, I was so happy and I was screaming. XD
I was playing this in the car all the time... (My dad's car has like one of those Power Outlets and a small screen thing) Was so fun.
I use the controller because I'm better with it than the mat, and besides, I play with my hands, not my feet.
So my sister and I used to play this a lot... We both did it on Very Hard, but she did better than me. But now, I can do better than her! Sometimes we'd both even try Super Hard...
I usually play on Very Hard (except for Bowser's Castle because it's way too fast for me to do on Very Hard XD) but some songs I can do on Super Hard.
So what are my favorite songs? I love: Underground Mozart, Deep Freeze, Always Smiling, Bowser's Castle, Jump! Jump! Jump!, Rollercoasting, Cabin Fever, Ms. Mowz's Song, Boo Boogie, Where's The Exit, Mustache Barrel and Gorilla, Choir on the Green, and Hop Mario!
So... yeah, that's my rant about this game. Don't ask how I remember these things from Grade 2 so clearly XD
