Checkpoint 9

Checkpoint 9 (aka Geometry, internally named Phosphor) is the tenth and ninth official checkpoint in Smash Hit.

It came before the Endless Mode before version 1.2.0, when checkpoint 10 and 11 were added. (The tunnel to Endless Mode was replaced by a non-functional door, and moved to the end of Checkpoint 11's columns.

Description
FOR DESTINATION'S SAKE, YOU ARE DEFINITELY NOT WELCOME HERE! YOU TRIGGERED US SO INSANELY BAD THAT WE WILL REALLY KILL YOU, BY SMASHING YOU, WITH OUR Fork!!!!!!!!! Gyro!!!!!!!! Spinning Hexagons!!!!!!!!

1 (a.k.a Cube City)
In the beginning of this stage, there will be two Infinite Balls Power Ups. There will just be Hollow Glass Cubes. (37 not in Training Mode).

Inside them you will find either another smaller cube, or an Octahedral Crystal inside. Some Octahedral Crystals are also scattered throughout the stage, appearing on pedestals. There are 2 Star Shaped Crystals at the end of this stage.

2 (a.k.a Castle)
At the beginning of Stage 2, you will find an "Explosive Ball" power up. The room will then start to rotate a few seconds later, and the player will shoot differently shaped propellers with up to 5 blades. 2 star shaped crystals are at the end of this stage. The door has 2 buttons.

3 (a.k.a. Geometric Forest)
From the beginning of the zone until the very end of the level, there are forks and many glass bars. In the middle of the zone, there are 2 big Hollow Glass Cubes with 2 crystal stars. The obstacles are the same for the next part, but the room rotates halfway through, and the music is slightly different.

At the end, the music fades. Following is a spiral leading to an upside-down door, going to Checkpoint 10 (door) or Endless Mode (tunnel, before Version 1.2.0). In Mayhem Mode, this will lead to the Boss

Walkthrough


 * NOTHING TO SEE

Before 1.2.0

 * Apparently, there was no door prior to version 1.2.0 at the end of Stage 3, prior to that version, it would lead, through a tunnel to Endless Mode.
 * Checkpoint 9 was originally the last level before Endless Mode in the versions before 1.2.0, which two levels, 10 and 11 were added, and then the Boss (with an Infinite Balls Power Up) in V1.3.4.

Significance in Marketing
