However, a patch is available that provides 'ridiculous' timing (within a window of 0.01125 seconds, or half the timing of marvelous) and a top grade of AAAAA (quintuple A). An award of AAAA (quadruple A) is the highest possible award available on a standard installation and indicates that a player has triggered all arrows with 'marvelous' timing (within 0.0225 seconds under official settings) and avoided all mines and completed all hold arrows. The player's efforts are awarded by letter grades and a number score that tell him/her how well they have done. The game is scored based upon how accurately the player can trigger the arrows in time to the beat of the song. Stepmania strongly utilizes a player's sense of rhythm in its game play. The moving arrows will meet the targets based on the beat of the song. When they meet the targets, the player should press the corresponding arrows on his or her keyboard or dance mat.

The primary game type features the following game play: as arrows scroll upwards on the screen, they will meet with a normally stationary set of target arrows. Shortly after the announcement of StepMania 4 beta, StepMania's CVS/SVN fork has been unofficially been branded by the StepMania community as version 5.0 StepMania 4.0, based on a 2006 CVS build of StepMania, is currently in the beta stage of development. StepMania was included in a video game exhibition at New York's Museum of the Moving Image in 2005.
