StepMania is a free and open source, cross-platform rhythm game. It supports common key-based rhythm game formats (including 4-panel and 5-panel dance games among others), as well as Switch controllers (joycons recommended for their individual buttons), keyboard and dance pad controllers (ex: Gamecube ones with adapter). It is customizable with user-made add-ons such as themes, and provides an integrated editor for creating your own simfiles.
Getting Started
Grabbing Binaries
You can download the latest release here on github:

Extract the archive in the /switch folder on your SD Card. Then, run the game from the
hbmenu using

Be sure to run it as an app, it won't work as an applet (you may get a black screen and/or crashes).
Song Installation
You can install songs by simply putting them in a subfolder of your Songs-folder in the directory you installed Stepmania to. You can find for example a few packs of songs on Stepmania Online
