Magic Dance

What's all about that Magic Dance thing in StepMania? --Bruin rrss23 10:33, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

External link cleanup

As per a request previously on the External links section, they've been stripped down to the most applicable pages. See External Link Spamming. WP:NOT a link farm. Several sites containing simfile packages have been removed, as many of them are linked on the official StepMania page, and many of them fall under #5 of Occasionally acceptable links. If anyone feels this was in error, please start up some discussion here. Plaguefox 11:51, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Should it be mentioned that the inclusion of the 3-D modelled dancers was due to hacking of the appropriate DLLs from the DDRPC Official release for the PC?

It is probably not significant enough to mention; in addition, the dancers were never bundled with StepMania. However, other copyrighted content (graphics and menu music) were. I would suggest that we even replace the screenshot of someone playing a DDR simfile (Spin the disc) with a screenshot of a public domain song and a public domain theme.

I can take a screenshot through the "Zen Rebirth" Stepmania theme. Kil^(talk) 23:45, 28 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Use: Side-scrolling arcade game

I would debate the fact that Stepmania should be classified as a side-scroller, as that term typically applies to 2D adventure games. Although Stepmania features "scrolling" arrows, it should not be classified as a side-scrolling game. Anybody else agree with this point?

Please remember to sign your comments with ~~~~ at the end. Other then that, I agree, it is a "music game" or something along those lines, not a side scrolling arcade game. Havok (T/C/c) 07:40, 28 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Right. It should be classified a rhythm video game as most other bemani/rhythm game articles have normalized that form. Kil^(talk) 12:57, 3 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

NeonFM listing in "Availability"

Should NeonFM be listed on here? Sure, it was based on Stepmania, but the game was scrapped due to Betson pulling out of their deal with Pop'nKO and heading over to distribute DDR Supernova. Therefore, the game really isn't available anywhere. --Coredesat talk. o.o;; 11:26, 3 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
