The Performance Tip is a component of Beyblade Burst tops. This part is a key component for every Beyblade top in the Beyblade Burst™ Performance Top System™ which serves as the base for the Beyblade top and determines their movement pattern and behavior while in the Beystadium, as well as their height.
History
Types
Common Performance Tips
The common Performance Tip™ usually measure 3mm in height and come in a variety of different shapes and functions. They are usually identified by the initials or abbreviations of the part's name. Since the introduction of their Cho-Z Layer System, Takara Tomy began producing Performance Tips with varying heights, ranging from short to tall.
Electronic Performance Tips
Electronic Performance Tip™ are equipped with a light-up feature that activates during battle. Hasbro released the first official line of electronic Performance Tips products with their Beyblade Burst Rip Fire tops. This Beyblade product included Rip Fire Performance Tips™ that were compatible with Rip Fire Forge Discs.
In late October 2019, Takara Tomy would release their own line of electronic Performance Tips starting with the Regalia γenesis.Hy included in the B-153 GT Customize Set. Like Hasbro's Rip Fire Performance Tip, this Performance Tip is equipped with similar light-up features, but is also equipped with an electric motor that starts according to the Launch Power and accelerates in the direction of rotation.
Slingshock Performance Tips
Slingshock Performance Tips™ have rail-riding capabilities and convert from Battle Ring Mode to Slingshock Mode. Bladers can keep the Performance Tips in Battle Ring Mode to defend their position in the Beystadium, or convert them to Slingshock Mode to ride the rails and charge into battle.
"Dash" Performance Tips
Dash Performance Tips have been exclusive to the Takara Tomy Beyblade Burst™ product line.
Structure
BEYBLADE BURST™ Performance Tips™ are a single-piece component that contains a spring-loaded mechanism that causes the assembled Beyblade Burst top to "burst" during battle.
Design-wise, BEYBLADE BURST™ Performance Tips™ bear a heavy resemblance to the Running Cores from the Hard Metal System series of First Generation Beyblade tops, featuring a cylindrical head and an uniquely-designed body base upon which the other components rest and assemble. The base of each Performance Tip™ feature their own unique body and tip.
Function
Similar to the Blade Bases, Running Cores, Performance Tips and Spin Track/Performance Tips of previous generations, Beyblade Burst Performance Tips serve the primary function of determining a Beyblade's movement patterns in combat. They also affects the way the Beyblade top reacts when at certain situations.
