Balls

Balls are used to break obstacles so the player doesn't crash. The player starts with 25 balls at the Starting Stairs. Breaking crystals gives 3, 5 or 10 balls, depending on the type of crystal that was broken.

If you crash into a object, you will lose 10 balls. However, if two consecutive crashes happen within one second, only the first crash will count as losing ten balls, the other will not.

Color and Behavior
Balls are like silver, fully spherical marbles. A boost called Multiball gives you the ability to shoot multiple balls at once, but counting it as one shot.

Balls disintegrate (with a flash of light) when they touch lasers. When they touch glass, a little smoke also appears.

Power Ups
Power Ups also add different qualities to the balls: Infinite Balls makes you have infinite balls for a while, the Time Slow slows your balls, and the Explosive Balls make your balls explosive, however you will only throw one at a time.

A ball is also used for any undefined power-up. Collecting it does not have any effect, even on the existing power-up collection. An example is shown in the Ideas Segments.
