Introductory Stage

The Introductory stage, also known as Checkpoint 0, is the first checkpoint that appears in Smash Hit. It acts as the game's tutorial. 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.

Introductions
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 multi-ball. 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 sheets 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 crystals placed in a row.

Description
The Introductory stage is mostly comprised of white blocks, and the glass is a clear grey. The background is mainly white a blue gradient. The final segment has a blue tint added to the blocks and background.

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