In order to pass this file, you must first solve this riddle.

*Your mind will be put to the test
*Your goal is to try your best
*Patience is the key
*So carefully listen to me
*Pseudo mines & steps live in this town
*They R the main obstacle that will slow U down
*One is helpful, the other is not
*Once you find it, you will use it alot
*You will see colors everywhere
*All of them arrows, here and there
*Two particular colors will lead you
*But sometimes they will deceive you
*Don't get distracted by the mesmerizing view
*That in a certain spot will change its hue
*If you use a shortcut MOD
*Then you are a worthless cheating cod
*Only true warriors use no tricks
*Only true warriors stand up to the risks
*If you figure it out, then you will do just fine
*But remember that this ONLY works in 3.9

In one week, I will post the answer to this riddle

ANYWHO, this is a more mellow remix, but it still retains it's traditional TSU feel. The song may not sound hardcore, but the sm file itself defenitely is.

Again, remix was made by me with MTV Music generator, avi banner made by me as well with Premiere pro CS3, bg movie made by me with windows movie maker


Also same rules apply... Need video to work, get here

OR you can grab the NO VIDEO version of the file here

And remember to take out the black banner graphic if your downloading the video version of the file

Also, this only has singles mode. I would have made more charts to it but it was one week before submissions started and i only had easy diffculty done for double & solo, so I decided to cancel them.

i like this simfile. took a while to get used to, but it's a pretty neat chalange.

[NeoSpearBlade]

Um, wow.

Let me be honest for a moment.

I like the original one better but this is a nice change of pace for this song series.

This song will be cool to play with "Mine Arrows" because of the transition from mine to arrow.

Music 2000!! Haven't seen that for frickin' YEARS! Just the look of that's making me d/l it.

[miget man12]

Interesting file, Very nice -BPM! It took me 2 tries to beat on heavy I sorta wish there was Challenge... Ah well, nice videos and Awesome steps!! Really like the -BPM! I think this has a pretty good chance in the contest, 5/5!
Although it was a bit slow for my liking...

nice!

I'm going to go against the grain here and say that I didn't really like this stepfile.

I appreciate that you wanted to go for something that was challenging and makes the end user think, but at the same time, it brings down the fun factor for me. I don't boot up Stepmania expecting to solve riddles when I play songs, I go in expecting to play songs with steps that flow with them and are fun to play. This file just doesn't do it for me in that respect.

I did figure out where the real steps are and how to find them, but half the time I don't hit them because I somehow hit the pseudo-steps first, which is a problem. Perhaps doing the switch earlier (but without giving the real steps' positions away) would alleviate this problem. Also, for people that don't play with mines (me), finding the other steps and preparing from them is basically pure guessing.

I know that the negative BPM trick is nifty, but it sometimes seems to turn StepMania into a quasi-puzzle game, which is a definite turn-off for me. 2/5.

Ok so it's officially monday here, and it's time for me to post the answers to this riddle.

Basically this file is a memorizing game. For the harder difficulties, you'll have to practice it a few times before you get the pattern right (think of this like Chaos & FELM from DDR SuperNova, only with Neg BPMS).

For those of you that don't know, the word "PSEUDO" basiclaly means something that appears to be there, but really isnt. I didnt make this file TOO difficult, but you DO need to have some quick reflexes and accuracy. In other words, for the most part, you'll be looking for a "mine field guideline/blueprint", which will reveal to you the next path you will take (or in this case, the next steps that you will have to step)

The ORANGE arrows (1/32) are the main arrows to look at, cause just like the mines, they too will show you the way to the right path. However, the GREEN arrows (1/64) is another color to look out for. Preferably on the Heavy difficult. Right before the neg BPM trick & "wavy part" you'll notice a line that consists of two orange arrows, a mine, and a green arrow. The green arrow on that line indicates the second step you will have to take after the first step (which is pretty obvious).

Part in the middle of the file where the bg video changes to all the colors of the rainbow.

Obviously, using a CMOD will just makes things worse and "break" the puzzle. But don't turn mines off, hands off, freezes off, and/or little on... srsly, don't be cheap. And lastly, but more importantly, this file will only work on 3.9 cause of the negative bpm trick.

Hope this helps a little bit more.

[alexdestructions]

Mostly I don't care for c-mod and all of that for lots of Tsu songs. I always play with x-mod on those but, you are basicly giving away the positions of the arrows, that is not fun. Don't even post riddles to give out the positions where the arrows are. That makes it easier for people to remember, and ruins the song. But the negative BPM trick is nice. But 2/5.
