Banners

Not to be confused with the banners (background) in the Smash Hit Presskit.

Banners, also known as notifications, are strips of words that appear most commonly in the introductory stage. Only Out of Balls will continue past the checkpoint - everything else is locked into the introductory stage.
 * Tap to throw balls appears when going up the Starting Stairs, directing the player to tap the screen to throw balls.
 * Hit crystals = 3 extra balls appears during the time when the pyramids are passed.
 * Hit 10 crystals = multiball appears whenever the multiball status is increased for the first time.
 * Crash = lose 10 balls appears whenever you crash.
 * Out of Balls only appears the first time you run out of balls. It can, however, go into the other checkpoints.
