StepMania is a free Pump It Up and Dance Dance Revolution simulator for any operating system. The unique thing about it is that it's fully customizable, from the theme setup to the notes during gameplay to even the game's metrics. The one thing that gets people playing is the fact that any song can be put into the game and be playable, but sometimes this doesn't work out so well. Since the notechart for each song has to be made first before playing it, unless one goes online and looks for simfiles, downloads them and puts them on the game, and then you have to hope that the simfile is good. Charting the arrows takes enough time and skill, but syncing the chart to the music properly is a big hurdle as well, and extremely difficult for songs played by a band that change subtly in tempo. Then there's graphics...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })There's also two ways to play Stepmania. Either Pad (like how one would play DDR) or Keyboard, KB for short (like how one would play other rhythm games like beatmania or Keyboardmania). Keyboard style is much more accessible and easier to play, but the learning curve is rather sharper than other rhythm games.Currently, there's dozens of websites for the game, and standalone games have been made off of it such as In the Groove (and its Spiritual Successor games Pump It Up Pro, Infinity, and StepManiaX), Mungyodance, Pulsen, and Rhythm Horizon.There are several mainline versions currently in use; 5.0.12 is the current stable release, while a beta version known as 5.1 has some minor quality-of-life additions. There is also a version in development known as 5.3, which is focusing on major internal improvements; its website is here.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Ascended Fanboy: Several fans of Stepmania, who have made simfiles and made music for the official Stepmixes, have gone on to make music for other rhythm games. This includes DM Ashura, Vospi, 5argon, Sanxion7 and Renard. User DukAmok ended up working for Konami in Hawaii and even worked on the XBox 360 Dance Dance Revolution titles.

Ascended Glitch: The infamous "negative BPM" bug which could be exploited to cause "warps" in a chart, which could be used for all sorts of interesting effects. The 4.0 branch unfortunately fixed this bug, but 5.0 adds a new element called a "Warp" (along with "fake" arrows) which can be used for emulating this behavior in a more future-proof manner.
