'''Portals''' are special [[Map Components|map components]] in [[Geometry Dash]]. They modify the way the player interacts with the level, and can also change the cube into different [[forms]].

Produces antigravity copy of icon. Also changes the playing area to 9, or 10 if one of the forms is in ship, UFO or wave mode.

==='''Notes'''===
*The size portal affects individual forms in different ways. The cube loses jumping height but can perform successive jumps quicker. The UFO also loses jumping height and takes less time to begin descending, However, what is applicable to all forms is the same constant speed which is unchanging from the enlarged state, but gives the impression that while shrunken, the icons move quicker as a result of looking small.
*The slow speed portal was in Hexagon Force following the initially released speed portals. The speed portals were actually in [[Update 1.7]], in [[Electrodynamix]].
*The copy from a copy portal inverts the chosen colour scheme. While a copy is existent, a collision will terminate the original, and vice versa, with each icon fully able to interact with its surroundings.
*When the icon enters a manipulation portal, the screen often flashes in an unusual manner. The gravity pads also act in the same way.
* The mirror portal effect is purely visual, and as such is not seen in the editor.

==Notes==
*Players still have the ability to use jump rings in the forms.
* If the cube form goes above the 60-playing-area space in anti-gravity or in such ways to reach it, it acts like a hazard and makes the player die. This can be seen in a glitch in the start of[[ xStep]].

== Trivia ==
*Gravity and mirror are the only options not available to begin in a custom level. But gravity can still be changed from start position.
*By entering a Form Portal that is used to transform you into the same form you were in before entering, you can shift the playing area either higher or lower, as long as the second Form Portal is place higher or lower than the first one. This trick is used to enter the alternate route for the third [[Secret Coins|secret coin]] in [[Stereo Madness]].
* The size portal is the only manipulation portal that does not use blue as a deactivation portal, instead it uses green.
** In this small form, the cube and ball forms are manipulated by changing the detail from its original form to one that resembles the very first type from their icon kits respectively.
* All portals (except the speed portals which are not three-dimensional) have an effect in the [[Level Editor]], where only a part of the portal is shown.

It is the first stage marked with the Insane difficulty as of [[Update 1.9]].

==Description==
xStep introduces blue pads and blue rings/circles on the regular path. The icon assumes three different [[forms]] through the level— the cube, rocket, and gravity ball. It is similar to [[Cycles]] in difficulty and features multiple tight rocket scenes. xStep is also the level that uses the greatest number of blue pads out of any level in the game, present throughout almost the entire second ship scene. The level also introduces full checker bricks and another block (previously seen while getting the second coin in [[Jumper]]).The level also introduces wavy platforms along with the wavy thorns.

== Secret coins ==
*The first secret coin is located in the first ship sequence. After the last thorn-ball before a stepped wall, carefully fly into the small space between the thorn-ball and the wall to collect the secret coin.
*The second secret coin is located in the second ship sequence. In the last part of it, containing the spiked passage, slip your ship into a small hole. Keep on holding it up.Then go out the hole in the other end and go through a cube portal shortly afterward.
*The last coin is in the cube sequence after the second ship one. After flipping gravity, your cube will approach a gravity pad that is slightly elevated with some spikes before it. You have to miss the gravity pad and the spikes. Once you have achieved this, get ready to tap on a mid-air gravity ring, otherwise you will crash into a suspended platform with spikes on it. Once you have done that, you will reach the coin and fall into the regular course. Immediately jump again to clear off a jump ring.

==Trivia==
[[File:XSTEP.jpg|right]]
*xStep is one of the two levels to grant block icons for both Practice and Normal, the other one is [[Cycles]].
*xStep is the only level name to begin with a lowercase letter.
*There is an error in xStep. It's under the spike ball to the left of the first secret coin.
*There's a glitch in xStep, where you can fall through a gap in the first antigravity section. However, this is not a secret passageway, as you will die after hitting the top.
* The wavy platforms first appear in this level although they are in several coin paths in the first 6 levels.
*xStep marks the gradual introduction of many new [[Map Components|map components]] including blocks, pits and cosmetics.
* xStep, [[Electroman Adventures]] and [[Blast Processing]] all reward 10 stars if completed, although xStep and Electroman Adventures have the higher rating of Insane while Blast Processing has Harder.
* xStep is not the first level with gravity pads in it. First was in [[Back on Track]] and second was in [[Polargeist]], used to collect a secret coin.
* The level takes 1:24 to complete.

* The size portal surprisingly changes the cube to the same design, which is the first default Icon, although the space between the two 'squares' is gone.

*The slow speed portal was in Hexagon Force following the initially released speed portals. The speed portals were actually in [[Update 1.7]], in [[Electrodynamix]].
