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 even better, stealing someone else's crystal!

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

One player can make obstacles be made dangerous to their streak 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 very similar to Co-Op, but the obstacles are different, and also the colors, but they are not changed a lot, so it has a slight change into it.

Difficulty
It is not too difficult at least, until you get to the pyramids that stick outside of the walls. It also gets way harder in difficulty depending on the room and the amount of balls in the player's ballcount.

Stages
See Versus Rooms for information about how many stages.

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 recommended that before you play this mode with another player, you need to play the Versus Mode and Co-Op 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. Please 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/bonus 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.
