Legendary Super Mario 64 speedrunner tries to beat the game blindfolded on a dance pad and fails, but not as badly as you or I would

Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix.

Bubzia, the Super Mario 64 speedrunner primarily known for running the game blindfolded, has just embarked on a new challenge. He's now running Super Mario 64 blindfolded on a dance pad. The first attempt didn't exactly go well, but I guarantee it turned out better than you or I could've managed.

All of Mario's controls were mapped to the dance pad, but these things don't have quite enough buttons to handle a full N64 platformer, so Bubzia also kept hold of a standard controller to manipulate the camera and pause the game. He also needed to keep a hand free to hold on to a piece of furniture so he wouldn't just fall over during all the ridiculous movements he needed to handle. "I need to multitask," he explained. "I need to hold with one hand, game with my feet, and operate the camera with the controller. It's a mess."
