Overview
Mario Undōkai (Japanese: マリオうんどうかい), or literally Mario Sports Festival, is a Mario 1993 arcade game released only in Japan. Like Būbū Mario, very little is known about it. It was made by Banpresto and licensed by Nintendo. The game is a dancing game geared toward small children. It is one of the only two dancing games in the Mario series and is very similar to the other one, Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix, but there are two center foot spaces and no 2-player mode.
Once a coin has been inserted, the player must choose from one of three games, all of which require the dancepad. There is also a start button to begin.
The top selection is a more athletic-based set of games that involve Olympic-style events. The right selection consists of a picture completion game and at least one other minigame that is randomly chosen. The left selection has a game of rock-paper-scissors with acchi muite hoi against Princess Peach.
After the results, a trading card is distributed from the machine, while Mario invites the player to play again.
