Checkpoint 10

Checkpoint 10 (a.k.a Hyperspace) is the tenth checkpoint of Smash Hit.

The theme revolves around color schemes of lilac, slow suspense (except for stage 2), transformational crystals, lasers and moving glass bars.

1 a.k.a. Space Station
It opens in a slow suspense, and a bright shine of light. The lasers flicker, and can be blocked by glass bars or transformational crystals. Spheres of light also appear. The door has 2 buttons.

2 a.k.a. Lightspeed

 * This is the shortest stage. It starts with a blast of music and a surprisingly large increase in speed.
 * The music is found in Zen Mode, Smash Hit VR trailers and Smash Hit Game Modes. Its rhythm is checkpoint 3 stage 4 (found in Zen Mode as well).
 * It is highly recommended to use Time Slow in this stage as the ultra-fast speed will ruin your multiball, espeacially when smashing the group of 12 pyramids.
 * Many transformational crystals may transform too quickly to get an accurate hit.
 * Because of such speed, the door automatically opens.

3 a.k.a. Desert and Flyers
The player will face flying glass panes. There are also transformational crystals scattered throughout.

The player will have to concentrate to hit these right. After this, the player will proceed to the final checkpoint, Checkpoint 11.

Stage 3 part 3 is hard. You will first go through a hole in the wall. There are 6 sets of flying glass panes and 2 door buttons, where the door goes to Checkpoint 11 (Boss in Mayhem Mode).

Trivia

 * Stage 2 music has the rhythm of Checkpoint 3 stage 4. Put a video of the stage's (Checkpoint 3's) walkthrough of the first part (second part is out of sync) overlapped with the Checkpoint 10 stage 2 music. Whenever the tone abruptly changes, expect Falling Glass Planks to fall.
 * Stage 2 has the group of 12 pyramids in the middle.
 * Stage 2 has the greatest amount of pyramid crystals in a group in any stage at 12, beating the Unknown Checkpoint by just 2 pyramids.
 * With 2 more pyramids to hit in a row (if not 4 ball multiplier before), hitting all 12 could cause a guaranteed multiball and possibly another multiball.
 * In Smash Hit VR, the 12 Pyramids are replaced by only three, lone-standing pyramids on the pedestals.
 * The twitter account on Smash Hit had a early development idea for Checkpoint 10 (image with the Spinning Hexagons), which didn't exist when Version 1.2.0 was released.

Significance in Marketing
Checkpoint 10's stage 2 music is found in many trailers, e.g. Smash Hit Game Modes, Smash Hit VR trailer, and is also a Zen Mode soundtrack.
