Appearance of the Dancer[]
Original[]
The dancer is a woman dressed like a 1960s housewife. She wears a hot pink and white dress with a white polka dot design and light blue ruffles on her sleeve, a light blue and white apron, a pair of light blue heels, and has pink short hair. She also wears a pink bracelet on her right hand. She keeps her apron on before impatiently removing it at the end of the routine.
Just Dance 3[]
In Just Dance 3, the polka dots on her dress are more visible and she has a violet outline.
Remake[]
In the remake, she looks more realistic and is in a slightly lighter hue. Her outline color has also been changed from violet to magenta. Her pumps are now light blue and her hair is noticeably darker.
Background[]
Just Dance[]
The routine takes place in a room with a 60s-styled light blue wallpaper. The wallpaper contains several lines and cherries on it, and a wine-red line at its bottom. The wallpaper slightly moves a bit throughout the routine.
Just Dance 3[]
In Just Dance 3, the wallpaper is now in a darker shade of blue. The lines have been removed and are replaced with evenly spaced light blue dots. The cherries are now placed inside white mirror designs and sway to the beat.
Remake[]
In the remake, the cherries no longer sway. The cherries and the dots now flash to the beat throughout the routine. At the beginning and end of the routine, an old-timey scratchy sound is heard.
Gold Moves[]
There are 2 Gold Moves in this routine, both of which are the same:
Both Gold Moves: While bending down, move your right arm down from your head as if you were wiping away sweat.

Trivia[]
General[]
- Being released in 1962, Mashed Potato Time is the oldest song in Just Dance.
- Mashed Potato Time references The Lion Sleeps Tonight (Wimoweh).
- Mashed Potato Time is referenced in Land Of 1000 Dances and If You Wanna Party.
- In Just Dance, the menu shows the title as Mashed Potato Time. However, the banner that appears before starting the routine reads "It’s Mashed Potato Time".
- There is a lyric error in both Just Dance and Just Dance 3. The lyric "Peel it to me now" is misinterpreted as "Feel it in your feet now". This was fixed in the remake.
- From Just Dance 3 onwards, the first time "Potato" is sung, it is misspelled in the lyrics as "Patato".
- In Just Dance Now, the first and third time "Hmm" is sung, it is not highlighted.
- Also, when "Peel it to me now" is sung, "now" is not highlighted, despite still being sung.
- Some files for a Mashup and Party Master Mode routine for this song can be found in the Just Dance Unlimited files.[3]
Routine[]
- Mashed Potato Time is the only map in Just Dance with a difficulty rating and an effort rating of 1.
- In the Just Dance 3 coach selection screen, the coach is reversed.
- The Just Dance version of the map has 26 pictograms, making Mashed Potato Time the routine with the lowest pictogram count in the original Just Dance game.
- However, the Just Dance 3 version only has 20, making it the map with the lowest pictogram count in Just Dance 3 and the entire series.
- With only eight unique pictograms, the Just Dance 3 version of Mashed Potato Time has the lowest number of unique pictograms in the entire series.
- The following activities are shown by the pictograms: vacuuming, holding a baby, cleaning the dishes, cleaning the windows, being tired, cooking, sweating, and peeling potatoes.
- In the Just Dance menu icon, the coach’s hair and dress are hot pink, and her apron has hot pink lines on it (instead of white ones).
- The "classifiers" folder in the files of Just Dance has two folders for Mashed Potato Time, one labeled "Potato" and another one labeled "Copie de Potato".[4]
- On December 16, 2009, Just Dance’s official US channel posted a short video of YouTubers SecretTrois dancing to Mashed Potato Time in Just Dance.
- In Just Dance, the apron disappears after the coach throws it away; in later games, it remains visible, but it is notably stopped by an invisible wall.
- When Mashed Potato Time was first released in Just Dance Now, it was mistakenly placed between Party Rock Anthem and Pound The Alarm for a long time, due to its codename being "Potato".
- The Just Dance Unlimited album coach has the white fade at the bottom that is seen in all of the Just Dance 2014 and Just Dance 2015 album coaches.
- In Just Dance Unlimited, the last three pictograms are counted on camera consoles.
