I guess I was able to get past it because when I started I was a kid. But, yeah, the grade you get isn't based on your health bar, but on the number of the perfects/greats/goods/etc. Marvelous is a rating that started appearing in the courses only in regular ol' ddr, but in stepmania they set it to default to always be on...I don't think it gives you more points, just a smaller timing window than "perfect." To get off of the three stage each mode of play, try looking for the option for an "event mode" - I'm not sure exactly where that is in stepmania, however.
