Think you have what it takes to make a
good step chart? In Edit Mode, you can build your own step charts to create
endless amounts of game play possibilities.
The main menu of Edit Mode presents you
with four options. Selecting "Edit Steps" will allow you to create a new step
chart or edit an existing step chart for any song in the game. The next three
options are for transferring your own step charts to or from a USB Flash Drive.
This allows you to play your edited step charts in the arcade!
