Exergame Creation

I am excited about recreating the classic arcade game Donkey Kong.  We are using a donkey instead of a monkey.  We have also switched Mario with a cross between Mario and Luigi, his name is luario.  The problems that we might face are difficulty with the controller since it is a dance pad.   Another  problem might be when I have to program Luario to climb the ladders. and jump over the barrels.
