Gameplay


In this game, the player plays the Stepswitcher in the center of the screen. The Stepswitchers will first begin stepping in beat after the clock signal in the background reaches its fourth tick. The player must step consistently in this same beat until one of the step-switchers signals to step in offbeat to the rhythm. The rhythm will keep switching on and offbeat during the game when signaled.

In Megamix, the game has been redesigned to take advantage of the widescreen and 3D Effect of the Nintendo 3DS as the Stepswitchers are now placed in row from left and right rather than top to bottom and the painting guys has been redesigned a little.
