Always Smiling: Difference between revisions
m (Still shifting this sentence around in my head. I definitely like this better than the ones prior, since a "full vocal song with lyrics" is... weird phrasing, and "with lyrics" is technically not true because in official terms we know the lyrics to this one as much as we know the lyrics to Pipe Pop. In contrast, this one... I'm still not happy with the flow, but this one MEASURABLY states what differentiates from the vocal samples in other songs.) |

"Always Smiling" is a playable song in Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix. It is very loosely based on Johann Strauss II's "Tritsch-Tratsch-Polka." While other songs include intermittent vocal samples, "Always Smiling" is the only song on the game's soundtrack to have a lyrical melody.
In Story Mode, the song appears as stage 5-1, Raiding Bowser's Castle. The song's background shows Mario or Luigi piloting the SS Brass through a magmatic canyon, arriving at Bowser's Castle at the end of the song.
In Mush Mode, this song features Spinies, explosive mines that decrease the dance meter drastically if stepped on. It is also the first song to feature Bill Blasters, which position themselves at the bottom of the screen on one row, and occasionally move to fire a Bullet Bill upwards. Bullet Bills can be reflected back at a Bill Blaster by stepping on them, and doing so three times destroys the Bill Blaster.
Story Mode text
Someone turned up the heat in here! Dodge the Bullet Bills to make it to Bowser's Castle!

With your wings tonight
You can come from any walk of life
Your beat will come on the inside
But when you get right into the heart
You know there's no other way to flySmile will bring the sunshine days
Comfort me tonight, with your wings tonight
Smile will bring the sunshine days
You come anyway on the way you rideYou can come from any walk of life
Your beat will come on the inside
A chance you have, flying that way
As I fly across a distant skySmile will bring the sunshine days
Comfort me tonight, with your wings tonight
Smile will bring the sunshine days
You come anyway on the way you ride
Comfort me tonight, with your wings tonight
You come anyway on the way you ride
