'''Impossible files / Jukebox files''' - Other than dump files, there are stepped files that are impossible to complete no matter how good you get at the game. These files are generally created "for the laughs" or just to try to get the jukebox autoplay to fail. Such songs would be like ''Dear Arch'' or ''Haruka Kanata Slipknot Remix'' from the '''AWPerative's Ultimate Joke Sim Bundle Group Box Congregation Collaboration Megapack Pack Collection''' where the arrows are so close together, that on c-mod they almost appear like a black stream of hell. If you get one of these files, either delete it, or show it to people who never played StepMania before to get a quick laugh out of the look on their faces!

===Stepmania Grading system===
===StepMania Grading system===
'''AAAAA''' - Attaining all marvelous arrows with a difficulty that is twice that of official standards (Judge 8) or by using the "Insane" modification to Stepmania, which includes that level of scoring into the Judge 4 official settings.  
StepMania makes use of a modified version of '''MAX''' grading system.


'''AAAA''' - Attaining all marvelous arrows with official standard difficulties (Stepmania will still give you an AAAA, regardless of your judge difficulty, if you get all marvelous arrows).
'''MAX DP''' - The sum of score of every note. Different judged notes are weighted by:
* '''Marvelous/Flawless''' and '''Perfect''': 2
* '''Great''': 1
* '''Good''' and '''N.G.''': 0
* '''Boo''': -4
* '''Miss''' and '''Hit Mine''': -8
* '''O.K.''': 6 (Pump It Up: 0)


'''AAA''' - Attaining all Marvelous and / or perfect arrows with official standard difficulties (Stepmania will still give you an AAA, regardless of your judge difficulty, if you get all marvelous and perfect arrows).
'''DP percentage''': The percentage of MAX DP in highest possible score.


'''AA''' - Attaining Marvelous, perfect, and great arrows, with a minimal CB.
'''Grade''': The grade judged mainly by DP percentage, with conditions as follows:
 
* '''AAAA''' - DP percentage equals to 100% with all notes judged Marvelous/Flawless.
'''A''' - Attaining marvelous, perfect, and great arrows, with a more average CB count
** '''AAAAA''' - All notes judged Ridiculous (within 0.011250 of a second) with ''unofficial'' Ridiculous timing patch installed (only available on version 3.9), or equivalently getting AAAA in judge difficulty of 7.
 
* '''AAA''' - DP percentage equals to 100% with Perfects.
'''B''' - Attaining marvelous, perfect, and great arrows, with a high CB count and a percentage that usually ranges anywhere from 65% to 85% depending.
* '''AA''' - Passing the song and 93% ≤ DP percentage < 100%.
 
* '''A''' - Passing the song and 80% ≤ DP percentage < 93%.
'''C''' - Attaining marvelous, perfect, and great arrows, with a VERY high CB count and a rather low percentage (usually anywhere from 55% - 75% depending)
* '''B''' - Passing the song and 65% ≤ DP percentage < 80%.
 
* '''C''' - Passing the song and 45% ≤ DP percentage < 65%.
'''D''' - Attaining marvelous, perfect, and great arrows, with a ridiculously high CB count, terrible PA, and an extremely low percentage (usually anything under 60%. Scores that are of a D grade sometimes may not be recorded permanently into the system as they may be too low to even consider as an actual pass. Obtaining a D usually means you shouldn't have even passed the song, and just somehow kept your life bar above 0 for a long enough time to succeed.  
* '''D''' - Passing the song and DP precentage < 45%.
 
* '''E''' - Failing the song.
'''E''' - You failed the song.
