StepManiaX uses five identically sized inputs, arranged similarly to a Directional Pad - Up, Down, Left, Right, and the inclusion of Center. Similar to other stepping or dance-based games, StepManiaX uses a 'stage' that the user stands on with certain areas being pressure-sensitive buttons, or 'panels'. Gameplay StepManiaX gameplay, showing holds, pits, early perfects, and so forth StepManiaX is derived from the same codebase, with modifications made to support the new game types, lights, touch support, connectivity, and the custom Android operating system and hardware that dedicated units run on. The name is a nod to the legacy of the open-source simulator StepMania, as many of the original StepMania developers were involved with the project. It is considered a spiritual successor to the In the Groove series.

StepManiaX (abbreviated SMX and pronounced 'Step Maniacs') is a rhythm game developed and published by Step Revolution, a studio formed by former developers of In the Groove, ReRave, and Pump It Up Pro.
