Square on Strings

The Square on Strings is the most commonly distributed member of the String Obstacle class. It is found in Checkpoint 3 multiple times, Checkpoint 6, and in Checkpoint Infinite (Endless Zone). It is the 2nd member of its class. There are 3 ways to clear them out of your way. Their stronger counterpart, the Painting, is stronger because of metal in the center. They are defeated similarly, the only difference being that you cannot shear the Painting, with indestructible metal in the center. The Square on Strings is also used in one of the press kit files, and was a former background for the wiki:
 * 1) Because you do not have Explosive Balls on Checkpoint 3, you need to disconnect it from at least 2 of its strings.Red square on strings.jpg
 * 2) Way number 2 is to get close to them, then fire in front of your perspective so you don't get hit and by performing both of these ways, you won't lose 10 balls + your current ball streak.
 * 3) Use the "Shearing" technique, (preferably with Infinite Balls) to cut a gap in the centre. The two halves will fly apart.
