Everyone seems to be giving this a good review saying it's great because it's the same as the pad that comes with the wii DDR game, and it is... but that pad isn't any good either. They're soft and don't lay flat, they feel "puffy" and misregister steps. Unless you're playing on a hard floor (no carpet) they don't work well at all. It would be nice if the wii would reliably recognize the better quality pads so that this wasn't the only option.

This is the same mat (Konami brand) that comes with Dance Dance Revolution Hottest Party 2. I purchased the game & mat set and then another mat from another brand as a second mat. The generic mat only lasted one day (about 5 dances). My children were so disappointed the day after Christmas to only have one working mat. The other one was a few dollar less, but now I will be sending the cheap mat I purchased (made by CTA) and waiting for Konami brand to come back in stock.

This is the exact same mat that ships with DDR2. We haven't tried any 3rd party mats, so I can't comment on that. This one worked fine right out of the box and has had no problems. If you are considering another mat, definitely go for it. It brings a whole new level of fun to the game!

Brought from this vendor after doing extensive research and I got what I am looking for. The pad is exactly the same as the original one (the one come with the game). Although it is a bit more expensive than the other alternate dance pad but I have NO complaint...may be a bit for the price.

I'm slowly trying to build up 4 pads total for multiplayer action. Great pad for the money... when compared with the cheap third-party mat I already own, the Konami pad is much better quality, and slightly larger too. The non-skid bottom means the mat doesn't bunch up- even on carpet. For the average DDR player, this pad will hold up fine. Just do yourself a favor and buy some extension cables so you can put some space between yourself and your Wii console!

This is identical to the Dance Pad that comes in the box (Wii DDR Hottest Party)

I chose to purchase this dance mat because we were happy with the one that came with the game. As it is exactly the same, we are happy with this one as well. I don't mind spending a little extra money if I know I'm getting a product I like. DDR is much more fun when you have more than one mat. Aside from a slight problem with the mat slipping on the carpet, this is a great product. The slipping problem wouldn't keep me from purchasing it again.

For everyone who is having problems getting the mat to register steps, we did too. It took a lot of digging online to figure it out, but it turns out the directions that come with the mat are wrong. If you move the mat to the opposite expansion slot, the one closest to the power button, you should find your problem resolved. Good luck! The only lingering issue is that big feet tend to cause the selection menus to scroll uncontrollably. If this happens to you, I recommend just stepping off the mat, selecting options from the side and then stepping back on to play.

I've had the game for about a month now, and i haven't played it for about two weeks. I pulled the mat out and it doesn't work. My up arrow doesn't work, and when I stand in the middle, the controllers all go haywire. It worked fine when I first got it, but over time it just started to go downhill. Don't waste your money on this matt. Try a hard one if you can find it.

We were looking for a second mat for DDR 3 Hottest Party. I bought two knock off brands. Neither one would work. Wii didn't even see the mats were connected. So we decided to buy a mat made by Konami since that's who made DDR. The mat just got here, took it out, plugged it in..works beautiful!! Don't waste your time with knock offs....Buy this one first!!
