(a.k.a) ClassroomThe Introductory stage, also known as Checkpoint 0 and Start, is the first checkpoint that appears in Classic, Training, Mayhem, Initial Release, V1.1.0, V1.2.0, V1.3.0 and V1,3,2. It acts as the game's tutorial.

Description
The Introductory stage is mainly white, with grey glasses. The background color is mainly white, while in the previous segment a green tint is added. You are known as a beginner.

This area contains three segments, and once completed the player enters Checkpoint 1.

Since it is the first checkpoint in the game, the Introductory stage is very easy compared to other checkpoints appearing later on. The glass obstacles here pose little difficulty.

Introduced features
This checkpoint introduces the basic mechanics of the game. During the first segment, notifications will appear to inform the player about firing balls, crystals, and Multiball. A notification also appears if the player crashes into an obstacle.

In the Introductory stage the player will first encounter crystals in their basic form; pyramid-shaped. The first glass obstacles are also found here, although only two types are introduced. Long glass bars are situated at various places, and sliding glass walls are common.

The first power-up is also found in this checkpoint - midway through the third segment, the first Infinite Ball power-up appears, followed by six pyramid crystals placed in a row.

Stages
The Introductory stage contains three stages. They are not very difficult, and act as the tutorial for the game.
