Various Uses

Other games that can be played with dance pads
Some games that can be played with dance pads do not involve pressing the arrow buttons on the pad to keepwith the rhythm of a song. Games that have been adapted for use of a pad have dated back to 1988, where it was first used for the Super Nintendo System called the POWER PAD.

The accessory is laid out in front of the video display for various games, generally plugged into the second controller port, with players stepping on the large buttons to control gameplay. There are two illustrated sides to the pad: Side A, which is rarely used, has eight buttons, while side B has twelve buttons numbered from 1-12.
Games using the Power Pad often test players on their timing and coordination, memory, "running" speed, or allow them to play music with their steps. Games such as Dance Dance Revolution can trace the lineage of their control mechanisms back to the Power Pad.

• DDR-A-Mole, a game similar to Whac-A-Mole
• Various mini-games in Dance Praise 2: The ReMix (DanceTris, a Tetris simulator, is included). I think we're all familiar with Tetris and if you're not, then that's just weird.
