I like how all of your videos start off as seemingly innocent retrospectives into niche-ish topics, only for them to reveal another aspect of your love and borderline obsessive dedication to said theme. You're not just a guy making videos on youtube, you're actually putting the extra effort into preserving these things, which I absolutely adore and respect.
I have VeggieTales Dance Dance Dance and it's freaking fun to watch the type of animations the characters have because if you get Larry, he starts breakdancing and it's the best thing ever to witness.
Now I hope you make a video on Guitar Hero and Rock Band knock-offs just so you can talk about Digital Praise's "Guitar Praise." It's exactly what it sounds like.
@@squiddu like maybe 2 or 3 times but it’s just hard for me to get into because i have experience playing with keyboards and pads are like, completely different
i get it bc i also cannot play fnf or its shitty clones like AT ALL bc of the scrolling buttons. like the arrows are ordered from left to right but my arrow keys are in, yknow, arrow key order, so my brain just fries itself trying to connect the dots. and if my FINGERS cant do it, nevermind my LEGS
i can’t believe i dared to have the thought “aw man there’s no way he’s gonna talk about active life: outdoor challenge, huh?” i should never have doubted. also for the record, as a kid that game was DELIGHTFUL. i got so much exercise just trying to beat my high scores in outdoor challenge. my sister played it consistently, too, and she was five years older than me and didn’t really like video games. that game was so good at accomplishing its goal, and the visuals and sound effects were just so charming to me.
Can’t believe I found UltraGamerAustin on a Planet Clue video. This is the crossover I didn’t ask for. Edit: and at that I can’t believe that it became the top comment.
I remember being so disappointed the day we got rid of our VeggieTales Dance Dance Dance game when we found out the dance pad didn't work on our new [as in "Windows 7" new] computer ....then being even *_more_* disappointed years later when I found out you could just play it with a keyboard the whole time....
10:37 I honestly really, really love the idea of this one. I have really bad foot and leg problems and so I can't really play DDR/DDR type games much at all. The idea of being able to use my hands to play instead is really enticing to me. It reminds me of Taiko a bit!
Imagine the cast of VeggieTales doing DDR. Would they step on one button each as a team effort, jump between them, or use the same invisible limbs that they use in the show to grab things? Psychic powers somehow? Using sticks?!
I remember there being a pretty prominent (and religious) member of the Dance Game community who offered to write the step charts to Dance Praise for some actual chart quality.
The Wii DDR dance pad and DDR Hottest Party was my first experience of wage theft. I was around 7-9 and we pulled up to a GameStop and my older brothers came out with DDR for Wii. I asked my mom why I didn't get to pick out a game. She said that the game was bought with a combination of all of our allowances. This was the first I heard of this purchase. I did not agree to such a thing. You bet for a fact we all played for less than an hour combined before putting it in a drawer to be thrown out a decade later.
When I was a kid, my grandparents had at their house an American Idol plug n play dance pad. It looked like a NES game and had music that sounded like it was from one. It was probably bad, but I had a lot of fun with it anyways.
as someebody who is just starting to go down the rabbit hole of ddr, your content actually gets me so excited whenever i see a new upload. ty for being the most mlg youtube ever
As someone that finds archiving VERY important, I would like to thank you for posting Cyber Groove to the internet archive and archiving the Kraft website. You have my utmost respect and I shall now subscribe to you~
I seriously appreciate how much you go out of your way to preserve a lot of the weird stuff you find. These are things can be lost to time so easily and deserved to be remembered. I always love learning about the super weird and niche shit that comes out of video games.
not sure if you'll ever see this clue, but i have a soft pad that is from a jewish dance game called Step It Up. i thrifted it some time ago, and the pad is reinforced with foam so it is pretty interesting compared to other commercial soft pads. if i remember correctly they just repurposed another brand of soft pad and slapped their logo on it. unfortunately on mine the down arrow doesn't work anymore!
When I was in elementary school we would have a DDR unit, with two fully functioning hard pads that everyone would take turns using. When it wasn’t your turn, you still would dance. The school had these rubber mats that came in two pieces, one with two red arrows and another with two blue arrows. You’d layer them on top of one another in an “X” to form the dance pad. The only evidence of these rubber mats I found was this news article reporting on a middle school (“Dance Dance Revolution in gym class” posted by LancasterOnline), but I have yet to find a reseller online.
Wow. I am absolutely floored by this video. Never in my wildest imagination would I have thought there is someone out there with this much dedication to dance games & mats. Kudos to you. This was amazing.
6:08 look, I know ITG2 Arcade at least was published by Andamiro, but that doesn't change that I got jumpscared by your copy of ITG PC in your pump collection.
I got a Bratz dance pad for my birthday one year, it was a very nice idea and I was originally excited but I remember struggling to get it to work on a carpeted floor and didn't think of taping it down.

I remember Dance Master/Party 3 from when I was a kid. I used to love it. I'm surprised nobody in the DDR community has spoken about it. Thank you for unlocking some of my childhood memories.
You are literally living the dream my best friend and I had as kids, the campground we stayed at each summer had a DDR arcade machine and we spent so much time playing on that. It was our ultimate goal when we had adult money to buy one for ourselves.
Many years ago I've heard several times how Pump It Up is superior to DDR in some ways including its step layout, but I wasn't fortunate enough to find a Pump It Up at the arcades. Yet I had no idea they made a Xbox and PS2 home version for the US. My friends just played DDR as that's what we were already used to.
Why i never knew how beautiful pump it up uh... Art is? Design? Like starting from the evolutionary dance pad and ending with your personal collection it looks amazing.
3:08 Omg I remember we had that exact one. I always played pinball on it cuz even back then I had no interest in rhythm games. I don't remember it having Tetris tho. Maybe I just never noticed it being there it or our one didn't have it somehow
This brought back a memory of my sister and I getting so fed up with these dance pads that we’d sit on the floor and smack them with our hands, like some kind of giant controller.
Hilariously enough, when getting physical therapy, I saw other patients being treated for knees/ankles and they had them do a lot of exercises on this half-dome ball thing. Seeing you dance on the dance-drum thing made me think of some advanced version of those lol
I have no idea why I watch these videos, the only game I’ve played with dancepad support is a somewhat infamously hard roguelike/roguelite rythm game dungeon crawler but these videos are just so much fun to watch and it’s just nice to sit down and watch I’ve also never actually used a dance pad to play it because I’m not playing it on pc and the console I use doesn’t have an official dancepad(that I could find)
Thanks for the video. I actually had Dance Master/Party 3 as a kid, and still own it! There is also Dance Factory for the PS2, which you can use your own CDs to dance to.
That second game that he was playing with the craft dance pad The one that he said was basically waccamole reminds me of connected ventures that one where there's like cracks and you have to put your hand over the crack to fix them or you put your feet over the crack to fix them and then sometimes a shark comes out and cracks too many of the cracks and you have to scramble to fix them before you go game over.
Would honestly love a video on the pump it up collection and some history- I’m a 2000s kid but I missed out on a lot of video game stuff and I’m OBSESSED with all the art in the stuff you showed, it looks so nice??
The soft pad in our house was the one for the "Dancing With The Stars" video game. Doing ballroom dancing on a DDR-style pad was an interesting choice by the developers
I still have that Wii Outdoor Challenge soft pad under my couch! I think I played it twice then shoved the pad back in the box. It hasn't been used in like 12 years.
Don't think this'll be seen but: As an (older) DDR fanatic, these info vids are a total crack for me. I hope to see a lot more. I remember watching the DDR controller ones some years ago. Wonder if you can dig up anything behind the reason why DDRMAX served as a soft reboot to the console games, or some nice deets about songs that many don't know off the bat. Thanks for the content!
wow and I thought it couldn't get any weirder than the dance praise stuff... (which I do remember seeing back in DDR's heyday) but then y'all bust out the KRAFT/POSTOPIA dance mat, I had never heard of it! props on rescuing the website though, that's dedication haha.

I bought one of the knockoffs. The little piece of paper that came with it had instructions, like “make sure to pave the carpet”
