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.

Description
The Introductory stage is mainly white, with grey glass. The background colour is mainly white, while in the previous segment a blue tint is added.

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 crystals placed in a row.

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

Trivia

 * When played, arrows will point to the buttons that activate the doors as a hint for the player.
 * When playing for the first time, the game will show a brief tutorial explaining how to use the Infinite Ball power-up.
