Patterns in Black-White mode

Features

First of all, it is not rotating (except some occational spins), which makes it harder .



. Patterns in Hyper Hexagoner mode also appears in Hyper Hexagonest mode.

Not rotating makes everything HARDER

C-shaped parts with a hole at the top or the bottom



Beginning of 321, either (top or bottom) direction



Stair-1 (RRRRR only)



Stair-2



... and Multi-C, begins from the top or the bottom, either L (CCW) or R (CW).

Patterns

Picture Name (for reference in this guide) and tips. Solo

Watch out for Solo followed by 3-unit turn. Turn a bit earlier. Go to middle as much as possible. Triple C

Because of this pattern, it is quite common to rotate 3 units twice. However, you should not assume that every two opposite C-shaped parts are part of this pattern. Some are just two Soloes, and there might be third Solo in other direction.

If you don't know where the hole is, go to middle and wait.

(Yes, I died right after I took this screenshot) (Yes, I died right after I took this screenshot) Multi C

Be get used to this pattern (and Stair 1) by knowing when and how much to rotate.

Again, wait if you don't know where the hole is. Double Whirlpool

Do not lost where your pointer is.

Try goint to the (near) middle right after exiting this pattern, if feasible. Stair 1

RRRRR only.

This pattern and Stair 2 can be distinguished by watching carefully when you do RR.

Assuming that a Stair is Stair 1 and find that it's actually Stair 2 is easier than the opposite. Stair 2

(Read the tip at Stair 1) 321

You should move as early as possible, but (of course) not too early.

It is recommended to do 3M then 2M in different orientation than do 3M then 2M in same orientation. Ladder

Just remember that top and bottom are not a good place to stay. 3-Spin

Every 3-Spin patterns starts with a hole at left. This means, if you see a 3-Spin with big white parts at right but can't determine whether the hole is at the top or at the bottom, the hole will be always at the bottom. This will help you a lot. 4-Spin

The direction of the first hole is opposite from that of a 3-Spin. Rain

You should look at where your pointer is, because sometimes(1/3) the cap may kill you.

Again, top and bottom are not a good place to stay. Since it is always possible to move to middle, do that.

Unlike other two Hyper modes, after 60 seconds of Hyper Hexagonest, this black-white mode appears. It is different from Hyper Hexagonest, because(and, why patterns are important)You may think that the fact that there's no rotation makes it easier. However, it isn't, because you can't check top and bottom sides of a part until it comes close to you. This makes preparing for patterns very important, and makes black-white mode requiring a lot of different strategies from other Super Hexagon levels. Look at the screenshot at right. Can you tell me which direction, top or bottom, I should move? (Ignore the Solo) If my pointer was at the bottom and the holw was at the top, I wouldn't be able to move 3 units because simple there's no time to move. If there was spin, I would be able to decide which direction I should rotate before it's too late. (Occational spins makes this easier.) Not rotating makes you to move pointer to (vertically) middle. This is why this makes everything harder. Look at the another screenshot at right. Which direction I should move? The answer is bottom obviously, but let's think about a moment earlier. If you watch a part that looks like <>, there arepossibilities.This is why patterns become very important in the Black-White mode, because if you don't consider all the cases, you may die. (ex. Confusing Stair-1 and Stair-2, or Confusing Stair-1 and Multi-C)I will re-write tips from other levels, because some of those 'trivial' tips now become quite important. All texts are tips.Always track where your pointer is, what the next pattern is, and where the hole is relative to your pointer when (you're, or the whole thing is) rotating. Or else you will die.
