On the first night of the "Dancing with the Stars" finals, Sadie and Mark took the freestyle round to the, ahem, next level.

The judges were crazy about the performance — and so were several media outlets.
Gossip Cop called the Super Mario-themed performance "amazing," and they weren’t at all surprised by their perfect score of 40.
And Wetpaint noted that the routine was "unorthodox" for a typical freestyle but loved it nonetheless.
"This dance is pretty darn cute, and it has the nostalgia factor going on … It's kind of crazy, but hey, Freestyle right? Is it good, or insane? Do we even know anymore?"
Even video game blogs like SideQuesting couldn’t get enough of the fun routine.
But a perfect score wasn’t the only exciting thing to happen to Sadie this week.
As E!mentioned, Sadie met One Direction's Liam Payne this week during rehearsal, and needless to say, the teenage Directioner was pretty stoked about it.
Best of luck to Sadie and Mark as they compete in the finale on Tuesday night.
