Bit - Gear Point

Gear Point or GP is a Balance Type Bit that features a flat tip with the gears intended for the Xtreme Dash gimmick extending to the bottom of the tip. The result is a twelve-pointed wide flat tip, and like the regular Point Bit, a small ball protrudes from the center.
The performance of Gear Point varies depending on the angle it is launched at; when tilted and launched at an angle, the flat tip creates extremely aggressive movement, which makes it easier to contact the Xtreme Line (X-Celerator Rail) to perform the Xtreme Dash gimmick. When launched horizontally, parallel to the Stadium floor, a Gear Point combination will stay in the center of the Stadium, creating high Stamina. However, even if it is launched parallel, when knocked off balance a Gear Point combination will revert to the aggressive movement of the flat tip, draining Stamina.
Gear Point is essentially a fusion of the Gear Flat and Point Bits. The general shape is identical to Gear Flat with the addition of the protruding ball instead of a circular indent. Consequently, its tilted Attack movement is nearly identical to that of Gear Flat's. Its general usage is similar to that of Point, but Gear Point offers more speed and aggressive movement than Point when tilted, at the cost of higher Stamina drain.
