Nintendo Power Pad?

In Games

when I was boxing the games and stuff i dug out last night I found a nintendo POWer pad. looks like a twister mat but I dont remember ever using it for any games. Anyone know what game/games its for?

I remember these being made for it there may be a few others I'm forgetting though:

Dance Aerobics
Eggsplode/shortorder
World Class Track Meet
Super Team Games
Street Cop
Athletic World
Stadium Events
3in1 SMB/Duckhunt/World Class Track Meet

I always wondered, could you use the POWer pad for other games?

I mean, are the "buttons" on the POWer pad standard buttons so that I could play for exaple SMB3 by just stepping on the buttons? Does the POWer pad look like a standard controller to the NES?



looks like this:
but has the plug-in to attach to the nes system like a controller... I dont have any games from that list though so i dont know why i have this haha

No, doesn't work like that. Wish it did, me and my friend had a blast trying to play Tony Hawk's Pro Skater with my DDR pad.

I've got 3 of the games listed... Athletic World can be quite a strain.. Street Cop is just annoying.. I also have Short Order/Eggsplode.. Eggsplode is actually pretty fun.. My best score is around 50,000.. Anyone else have a top score?
