1	* CheeseStrategy: Despite the game being a lot more freeform on your you hit the notes in the game, you can literally cheat most notes in unconventional means. Some players have [[NotTheIntendedUse used a swiffer or mop]] to hit all the arrows. Some also bring 2 or more friends to just mash.
2	* FanNickname: Due to the game's similarities with ''VideoGame/{{Chunithm}}'' (namely in that you block infrared sensors to hit notes that scroll in a "hallway" perspective), some refer to the game as "Shoenithm". Videos exist of some players actually playing the game with their hands.
3	* IKnewIt: Sure enough, [[RequiredSpinoffCrossover "FLOWER"]] is in this game as widely predicted, though as a remix.
4	* MemeticMutation:
5	** First news (and "footage") of the game as ''Stepstar'' came around the same time that Nintendo had released an extended preview of ''VideoGame/Splatoon2'', whose lobby features a dance game with an [[https://twitter.com/Sho_Kazune/status/884788825716801536 eerily similar cabinet]].
6	** Jokes about the game needing a bar sprang up after [[https://youtu.be/RPWqYVqEoDU "Set me free"]] became a new extra stage, noting its unusually technical chart.
7	* ScrappyMechanic: The game notably only allows ''two'' stages per credit at most, and this cannot be changed even in the operator settings. There is a mode, Standard mode, that allows earning an additional stage, but it requires PASELI, which is Japan-exclusive, [[BadExportForYou leaving American players stuck with two stages]]. Oh, and as salt in the wound, some unlocks require Extra Stage, and thus are impossible to earn in the US. As extra salt in the wound, Standard mode is available in non-Japan Asia versions, simply costing twice as many credits as Light mode (much like how extra-charge modes in non-Japan Asian versions of Konami games simply ask for more credits instead of using PASELI); while it's more expensive relative to Light mode compared to playing in Japan, at least the option exists to begin with.
8	* SpiritualAdaptation: It's ''VideoGame/{{Chunithm}}'' [-WITH YOUR FEET!-]
9	* ThatOneLevel:
10	** The finale to Spark Festival 2019, [[https://youtu.be/2si9nqTNLJE ''Set Me Free'' by kors k and L.E.D.]], should absolutely count as physical torture. (On the bright side, it's torture with an [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic absolute bop]] playing in the background.) Incredibly wide T-step patterns, slide patterns unique to the stage (thus far) that are borderline impossible to perform without preparation, repeated jumps on 8th notes, and a Running Man pattern you have to switch direction on every 4th. Also, if you wanted to unlock it without using stars (200 stars, 100 with missions), you had to clear the entire thing in less than 3 misses. One over, and you're kicked out for good, and forced to use stars.
