The Shine

The Shine is a unique feature in GH:SE 1 and 2. It was implemented originally in autumn of 2016, when GH:SE 1 was still being developed, and is also a feature in GH:SE 2. To activate it in GH:SE 1, the player must hit three gold notes (in a sequence though is optional), and press 'J' to activate.

To activate it in GH:SE 2, the player simply must hit ONE golden note instead of three, and it will activate immediately as the note is hit. It will stay for 50 beats and then die out. During this time, the rock meter is boosted much further whenever notes are hit, and the multiplier becomes quadrupled (times by 4), and the multiplier then maxes out at 16.

However, if the star power is filled over the top, the multiplier can become OCTUPLED, causing the multiplier to be maxed out at 64. This was the last change that Lawrence (the creator) made to it and won't add anything else to it again for a very long time.
