z3th’s Simfiles
Last updated: November 13, 2009.
Made on those really bored days for StepMania, in my spare time. Some are made for keyboard, others are made for pad. All simfiles are under my alias, z3th. Feel free to distribute them elsewhere, I don’t care anymore. But I do care enough to say that I’ll probably kill you if you say you made the simfile, when it’s pretty damn obvious I did.
While you’re here, feel free to visit and read my journal, which contains random (but witty) writings and thoughts. If you’re here for music, come by my music page.
Current simfile projects:
- Phantasma Collection (40%). Oh snaps, I totally forgot I was making a Phantasma collection. I totally forgot for almost a whole friggin’ year. Well, it’s pretty obvious I somehow lost time to work on it, being in college and all, so I’ll just put up what I was able to finish as individual downloads. If I have time, I will work on it in the future.
- So I fired up SM for the first time in like, 2 years, the other day and played one of my older simfiles. Man, I totally sucked at making simfiles back then (and still do), and man, I totally suck at the game now (well, I’ve always sucked, but now I suck more).

Phantasma collection file. More chill and atmospheric than the other tracks, but still a challenging simfile, hopefully. I don’t know. Perhaps in the two years of being absent everyone is now rape as hell at SM and that this is now a walk in the park or something. |

Phantasma collection file. Should I call this space trance? I don’t know, I just know it rocks, and that Canopus is the name of a star. |
| Genre: Trance |
Artist: Phantasma |
| BPM: 144 |
Difficulty: 11 |
| Download Canopus |

Phantasma collection file. One of the more trance-y songs, featuring awesome piano, and with awesome piano comes awesome steps. I think. |
| Genre: Trance |
Artist: Phantasma |
| BPM: 142 |
Difficulty: 11 |
| Download Decipher |

Here is a favorite song of mine from Beatmania IIDX DJ TROOPERS. Made only for keyboard because of a lack of challenging steps. You’ll find all sorts of pad-friendly files elsewhere, but none of them utilize the song fully like this one does. So, enjoy. |

So I went and redid this simfile a while back, and after many lethargic delays, it’s finally done. The first time this was made, it was a disaster… now it isn’t. This is the second theme song to the anime Shakugan no Shana, and is made for pad. Enjoy. |
| Genre: J-Pop |
Artist: Kotoko |
| BPM: 148 |
Difficulty: 3, 6, 9, 10 |

An awesome arrangement of a great Touhou track, with mildly-challenging steps to accompany it. It was rather tricky to sync this song, due to the fact that it was performed live (therefore, imperfect BPM), but it’s pretty spot-on. Enjoy. |
| Genre: Symphonic Metal |
Artist: Tsukigaokashoryo |
| BPM: 114-156 |
Difficulty: 11, 13 |
| Download Voyage (IN Final Stage) |

The most complete Second Heaven simfile ever, save for doubles and beginners steps. Challenge is intended for keyboard, while the lower difficulties are intended for pad. Enjoy the awesome-ness that is this song. |
| Genre: Trance |
Artist: Ryu☆ |
| BPM: 149 |
Difficulty: 3, 6, 10, 12 |

Badass music and sweet singing. What’s there not to like? Only has one difficulty, and it’s a keyboard edit. If you want to a pad version, go play at the arcade. |
| Genre: J-Pop |
Artist: TЁЯRA |
| BPM: 160 |
Difficulty: 11 |
| Download 華爛漫 -Flowers- |
 |
A sadistic, hardcore, and rave-tastic song. It’s a cool song, and it’s got some cool steps. Heavy is for padders, challenge is for keyboard. |
| Genre: Hardcore Techno |
Artist: Tatsh Assault X |
| BPM: 165 |
Difficulty: 10 12 |
| Download The Dirty of Loudness |

A revision of my previous Air simfile. Has way better graphics and animations, and has improved steps which are a tad bit more difficult than the previous one. More fun, though. This is the full, godly version of Air, as heard on the Cristears album. |
| Genre: Trancecore |
Artist: Shiki |
| BPM: 178 |
Difficulty: 12 |
| Download Air |

A good, melodic ambient trance song by amateur artist STM. Fairly progressive stream and is quite easy for an 11. In fact, that’s all there is: stream. Someone had to follow the piano completely. |
| Genre: Contemporary |
Artist: STM |
| BPM: 150 |
Difficulty: 11 |
| Download Gleam in the Dark |
 |
The IIDX rendition of thrash metal, with fast-paced guitar shredding. Geared towards keyboard… challenge is recommended for spread/four-finger players and expert indexers. Includes IIDX video. Hella good song. |
| Genre: Thrash Metal |
Artist: 414 |
| BPM: 166 |
Difficulty: 6 8 11 13 |
| Download Double Thrash |

The Apocalyptica cover of the famous song we all know and love since we were children. The hardest simfile in my collection, which may not be all that hard to some (16th runs at 231 BPM). |
| Genre: Instrumental |
Artist: Apocalyptica |
| BPM: 72 - 231 |
Difficulty: 13 |
| Download Hall of the Mountain King |
 |
Shiki’s contribution to the Floating Point album by group INT. It’s an easy 11, with no unique challenge — just a steady stream of notes. It makes for a good warm-up song, because the song itself is awesome. |
| Genre: Trance |
Artist: Shiki |
| BPM: 147 |
Difficulty: 11 |
| Download Mercury Lamp |

A revision of my previous Final Crisis stepfile. It now has a more accurate BPM (who the hell does 166?) and better steps. This song features some intense, high speed classical music sequences as heard in the Lineage 2 Chronicle 2 trailer. |
| Genre: Epic Classical |
Artist: Bill Brown |
| BPM: 250 |
Difficulty: 12 |
| Download Final Crisis |

A revision of my previous Kagonotori file. It has higher-quality step patterns, is made for pad, and is r21-ready. A great deal of time was spent making sure each difficulty had well-placed steps. |
| Genre: J-Electronic |
Artist: Orange Lounge |
| BPM: 140 |
Difficulty: 3 6 9 11 |

Complete keyboard simfile. Not recommended for pad because of irregular step patterns. Nageki no Ki (Tree of Misery) is from the Cardinal Gate series of Beatmania IIDX 13 DistorteD. |
