Checkpoint 6

Checkpoint 6 (aka Pink Cave or Cave2) is the checkpoint after Checkpoint 5, and before Checkpoint 7.

Description
The checkpoint's color scheme focuses in either maroon or dark cerise. Checkpoint 6 introduces no new features, but variations of previous obstacles, such as smaller spinning glass panes. It is also extremely fast. The difficulty on this checkpoint for first-timers could be significantly massive.

Stage 1 (a.k.a Pink Canyon 1)
The player will be faced with faster-moving spinning glass panes. These are similar to the ones in Checkpoint 3, but faster and thinner. The crystals are: 1 or 2 octahedral crystals on moving columns and 2 square-pyramidal crystals on the ceiling. Its music is also the bosses' main theme, Endless Mode, Zen Mode and Smash Hit - Official Trailer.

Stage 2 (a.k.a Pink Cave and Narrow)'''
Stage 2 introduces more spinning Propellers and Square on Strings as well as lasers. And this zone doesn't have a door when the music ends. Its music is also the bosses' intro (also repeated in Zen Mode.) The second part has the Square on Strings and some more Propellers (some vertical ones as well). This stage is featured in Smash Hit - Official Trailer.

Stage 3 (a.k.a Pink Canyon 2)
This stage may be difficult. It has similar obstacles from the 1th stage of Checkpoint 6, and there is a 1-button door to end, going to Checkpoint 7 and the boss in mayhem mode, with 2 octahedral crystals.

This stage looks very similar to the first stage, but slower, with inverted gradient background and different music.
