Do the Mario from Just Dance Japan

Do the Mario from Just Dance Japan

You’ve heard the Super Mario Bros. Theme song over and over before, but have you seen the dance? In the Japanese version of Just Dance on the Wii, there’s apparently a Just Mario dance. Some of the move Mario does include the Super Mario Bros. slide, the thumbs up, the coin bump, the invincibility shuffle, and the fireball. Do it double time when time runs out. It’s time to learn the moves by watching the video. Do the Mario!!

More SMB videos: Yoshi hates Mario and Mario Kart Love Song.
