'''Press Start''' is the first level of [[Geometry Dash SubZero]] and the first level with a Normal difficulty.
'''Press Start''' is the first level of [[Geometry Dash SubZero]] and the first level with a Normal difficulty.


==Description==
==Description==
Press Start introduces the cube, ship, ball, and robot forms, and, except for the ship, in basic sequences involving jump pads and rings, with some instances of antigravity through portals and pads. Speed portals are also introduced, with slow, normal, fast and very fast variants being featured. These are combined with the introduction of camera panning, with faster segments being zoomed out, allowing more to be viewed within the frame, providing additional time to react and consequently reducing the difficulty of those faster speeds. The camera also pans in on the icon in several instances, and during one cube sequence, it acquires a static position. Here, a new mechanic is introduced in which the icon reverses direction and backtracks upon hitting a ring. Starting from the robot sequence, a giant 'pixel skull' pursues, trailing the icon seemingly attempting to eat it. This culminates in a 'boss fight' during the final ship sequence, where the skull leaves and reappears ahead of the icon, facing it to deliver three progressive fatal blasts from its mouth, striking horizontally at the bottom, then centre, and once more at the bottom before the level's end is reached.
Press Start introduces the cube, ship, ball and robot forms, and with the exception of the ship, in basic sequences involving the use of jump pads and rings, with some instances of antigravity through portals and pads. Speed portals are also introduced with slow, normal, fast and very fast variants being featured. These are combined with the introduction of camera panning, with faster segments being zoomed out, allowing more to be viewed within the frame, providing additional time to react and consequently reducing the difficulty of those faster speeds. The camera panning also zooms in on the icon in several instances, and during one cube sequence acquires a static position. Here, a new mechanic is introduced where the icon reverses direction and backtracks after hitting a ring. Progress percentage decreases until another configured ring is hit to reverse the direction forwards again. Starting from the robot sequence, a giant 'pixel skull' takes pursuit, trailing the icon seemingly attempting to eat it. This culminates with a 'boss fight' by the final ship sequence, where the skull leaves and reappears ahead of the icon and faces it to perform three progressive fatal blasts from its mouth, horizontally striking at the bottom, then centre and once more at the bottom before the level's end is reached.

Collecting all three secret coins will reward an additional cube.
Collecting all three secret coins will reward an additional cube.
*The first secret coin is located at 62% and collected as the ship. After passing over a triangular obstacle, the next one is spiked but lacks spikes in its centre, indicated by a thin glow line, which can be entered to reveal a concealed passage with the coin inside.
*The first secret coin is located at 67% and collected as the ship. After passing above a triangular obstacle, the one that follows is spiked but lacks spikes within in its centre, which can entered to reveal a concealed passage with the coin present inside.
**Before Update 2.21.3, the entrance to the passage did not have a bright glow indication.
*The second coin is located at 74% and collected as the cube. After beginning the segment marked '1-1' in the upper left corner, proceed to cross the first level of suspended platforms and hit the oncoming jump ring but not the second jump ring. The direction will be reversed to forwards. Jump immediately as the platforms rearrange and the secret coin appears, then slide down and jump to collect the coin, exiting the frame through the exit that appeared.
*The second coin is located at 75% and collected as the cube. After beginning the segment marked '1-1' in the upper left corner, proceed to cross the first level of suspended platforms and hit the oncoming jump ring but not the second jump ring. The direction will be reversed forward. Jump immediately as the platforms rearrange, then slide down and jump twice to collect the floating coin, where a second exit from the frame has appeared alongside.
*The third coin is located at 92% and collected as the ship. After the skull performs the first blast, fly by the ceiling to collect the coin that emerges as the skull performs the second blast.
**Before Update 2.21.3, the coin was not visible and did not have any indication of its location. After taking the secret path, a platform with the coin would appear, and it did not require another jump to reach it.
*The third coin is located at 94% and collected as the ship. After the skull performs the first blast, fly by the ceiling to collect the coin that emerges as the skull performs the second blast.

*Before Update 2.21.3, the progress percentage would decrease when the icon reverses direction and backtracks. The update changed the progress to be tracked by time instead of distance.
*Press Start takes 97 seconds to complete and requires a minimum of 77 jumps.
