Luigi facing off against the Hammer Bros. in Story Mode.

"Hammer Dance" is a playable song fromDance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix. It is a Mexican-styled ska arrangement of "Ground BGM" fromSuper Mario Bros. 3, with lyrics in Spanish. One of the audible lines in the song is "¡Que te vaya Mario!" ("Good luck, Mario!"), which is also the Japanese name for the song.

The background of the song takes place in front of the closed gates leading toWorld 3 of the game, a large nighttime carnival. Some alternate camera angles show the neon-lit and shrubbery-lined road leading to the gate, or the castle-like walls encircling the amusement park.

In Story Mode, "Hammer Dance" serves as stage 3-1,Road Block. In it, twoHammer Bros. guard the entrance to the park and refuse to letToad andMario (orLuigi) in unless they are beaten in a dance battle. Uniquely, they are both present in the background during Story Mode, but only one is treated like a second player by the game—the second player's camera focuses only on the Hammer Bro to Mario's left. Like other Story Mode dance-off opponents, this Hammer Bro is not a playable character despite behaving like one in this stage.

In Mush Mode, this song's only gimmick ishammers, which are thrown in an arc toward the player's note receptors. In dance-off battles (and in Story Mode), hitting these hammers successfully causes them to rebound and arc toward the other player.
