Versus Mode

Versus Mode is a Local Multiplayer game mode within Smash Hit. The players are competing against each other to see who will be the winner.

Gameplay
Two players sit at opposite vertical ends of the screen. In the game, they are next to each other in the same room, making it possible to smash the same piece of glass or "steal" someone else's crystal.

Versus Rooms

It still holds that all crystals must be collected to maintain a multiball status for both players, so it's harder to maintain one when the other player does not collect all their crystals. Many other Smash Hit rules still apply.

One player can make obstacles be made dangerous to the other player, by smashing glass bars so lasers are released, cylinders fall, and pressing buttons to make glass slide. A new glass and metal pane (among other obstacles) is introduced. Versus mode is similar to Co-Op, but the obstacles and colors are slightly different.

Difficulty
It is not too difficult, until you get to the pyramids that stick out of the walls.

Stages
See Versus Rooms.

Trivia

 * This is the only mode in the game where one player competes against another.
 * Co-Op is similar, but with different obstacles.
 * It is advised that you play this mode first as a solo player, to get a feel of Co-Op obstacles, as well as it being a "training mode" for Co-Op. However, you need to figure out how to demolish some of the objects that are exclusive to Co-Op, or (slightly) different to Versus.
 * Despite being a different game mode to Co-Op, Versus Mode has the same Main Menu music. Listen: [[File:Menu vs.ogg]]
 * If you go to the credits and More Games while still on these local multiplayer modes, you will be on it but with two players. This only lasts for a short time, as you will definitely quit earlier than expected, or throw all the balls away and lose. Losing in these additional hidden segments is a glitch, as the player usually has unlimited balls to throw.
 * The Versus section in the advertisements for the Game Modes shows the intro segment Intro smash hit.jpg layered back-to-back, as if it were really competitive play in the normal Classic Mode segments. (Knot126's Classic Split Mod emulates multiplayer gameplay in the Classic Mode's segments, so that is the closest possible to the actual gameplay depicted in the images.)
