This test level consists of a lot of geometry pieces everywhere to test different things such as altitude and speed. Once the player gains control of Shadow and moves forward, two pillars will immediately collapse on each other. Sprinkled around them are other assets which are boosts and torches and other assets from the origin level and random terrain and textures.in front of said collapsing pillars are torches and boosts and in front of that is a block. On top of said block are other assets from the origin level which are floating sand-falls and half ring fences(?) The entire level is open so it's possible to fall out of bounds. Shadow can't die, so if the player drops off the map they will need to restart the level. There are additional assets within the void outside of level boundaries. One of the terrains you can traverse on is like a track going from ground to air and seems to be testing how Shadow "sticks" to the surface.
