Game Description
The beloved game from Sega's days in the arcade has made its way into your living room! Grab your Wiimote and get ready to shake your maracas with Samba and a colorful, creative cast of characters. Songs from the original, as well as modern tunes, will keep you shake-shake-shakin' at different tempos, depending on the color of the icons.

But don't get too wiggly, you may have to pose and not move at all!
