All Pattern Bonuses (with screenshots)

By Ume Ito

This is a short guide that will show how to get all of the various pattern bonuses in the game's main mode. Screenshots and descriptions are provided of each individual pattern, allowing for easy understanding. The OS being used is Progressbar XB, as the loading bar segments are separated and far easier to count.

Basic Tips

When going for a pattern, it might be better to play on low difficulty so it's more controllable. In any high-level games, going for Perfectionist is far more beneficial because of the Progression points.

If you mess up and get a wrong segment, you can always wait until a pink segment flies down and catch it to clear it off. They're not always your enemy, if you need to get rid of a segment or two.
Alternatively, if you need to fix several orange segments into blue segments, you can use Defragmentation. You can intentionally skip orange segments if you need to leave some behind, but pay attention to which one it's on before ignoring it.

And if luck just isn't on your side, it's always best to start over on the next level. Some runs just aren't meant to be, y'know?

Perfectionist/95%

Perfectionist
A very simple one, just simply fill the entire bar with blue segments.
Awards 1,000 points.

95%
The same as Perfectionist, except the last segment is orange. This one is pretty easy to get by mistake later on.
Awards 500 points.

Nonconformist/NC: 95%

Nonconformist
The opposite of Perfectionist, fill the entire loading bar with orange segments. The point bonus is very useful as orange segments do not provide any progression points on their own.
Awards 4,000 points.

Nonconformist: 95%
And the inverse to 95%, all but the last segment is orange.
Awards 1,000 points.

Symmetry/Two Stripes

Symmetry
Symmetry is one that you shouldn't go for specifically, rather it's easy to obtain by getting others. I'll state which bonuses will trigger Symmetry, but the screenshot is an example of what it is. Both halves of the progress bar mirror each other.
Awards 1,500 points.

Two Stripes
Symmetry but with only one orange segment on both sides. Remember that both halves need to mirror each other, but going for Two Stripes will net you both bonuses.
Awards 5,000 points.

Tube/Anti-Tube

Tube
The easier of the two, simply make both outermost segments orange and the inside blue. Both tubes also provides the Symmetry bonus.
Awards 2,000 points.

Anti-Tube
And then the harder, a complete inverse of the regular tube; Outermost blue, entire inside orange.
Awards 4,000 points.

Yin and Yang

Yin and Yang
Simple but surprisingly difficult to pull off, you must have exactly 50% blue and 50% orange in your progress bar. It's irrelevant in what order they're in, so it's possible to snag other bonuses in the process.
Awards 1,000 points.

Pure Yin and Yang
A very specific pattern will award both Yin-Yang bonuses. Basically double reward. As for how to acquire it, the best way to describe it is so (remember that this can be done inverse and still give the same reward;)
5 blue, 1 orange, 4 blue, 4 orange, 1 blue, 5 orange. Or how the wiki describes it; BBBBBOBBBBOOOOBOOOOO
Awards 1,000 points.

Zebra [4 Variants]

Zebra
Zebra bonus has many variants, but each follow the pattern of matching stripes of blue and orange. The variation depends on how many segments each stripe consists of. The three icons after this one were modified by me for easier identification, but in-game the same icon is used for all four.
The 1:1 pattern is standard Zebra and provides the Yin and Yang bonus.
Awards 5,000 points.

2x Zebra
Each stripe now consists of two segments rather than one. Also provides the Yin and Yang bonus.
Awards 5,000 points.

3x Zebra
Each stripe consists of three segments, although the last one will be shorter as a result of the progress bar only taking 20 total segments. Don't worry, as this still counts. However, 3x is the worst variant as it has no extra bonus aside from its own.
Awards 5,000 points.

4x Zebra
Four segments, and the last available Zebra size. This one now gives you the Symmetry bonus.
Awards 5,000 points.

Morse Code

95 in Morse Code
The trickiest to perform but the most rewarding of the bunch, Morse code requires you to spell out '95' in morse code on the progress bar.
Get all blue up until 40%, then alternate orange-blue to the end.
Awards 5,000 points.

Closing Off

That's about all of the patterns currently in the game.
If more get added in the future, I'll update the guide accordingly. If you have any questions, please ask so in the comments.

Thanks for this guide it really helped me!

I found that for "two stripes", it only worked if I got to 40% blue, then one orange, two blue, one orange, then complete the rest blue.

So exactly like the screenshot.

I'm not getting two stripes at all...

POP UPS COME HERE!

Стасик 20 May, 2024 @ 6:46am

maybe not, gives 512 points

Dude... add server restart (hint for why: so you know the 1.03 update that is a teaser one, it adds a bar with the orange and blue segments and the restart log on the PB servers, it has a few options about the restart log one, these options dont do anything execpt the "i want a bonus" one, it gives you some random amount of bonus i think?)

null was not that bad. did it in a couple of attempts, but i will admit, it was a little frustrating. maybe i just got lucky, or maybe it's the fact that i wasn't that far into the levels.

NULL

Pros: none. literally none.

Instead of cons, i'm gonna explain.

Alright, I also play on mobile and this indeed is my most difficult achievement yet... If your an 100% completionist, I am so sorry. Even doing the NULL route on the easiest mode ever, Matrix was SO stressful because of how fast the green, the yellow, and the pink were. Thank GOD the red ones go slow or else it might have been impossible... By the way, the NULL segments don't show like the pink, the yellow, and the green so you can't just have the segments touch the filled part because well... what i'm saying is that there is NO filled part. That's right. It isn't filled like it is in the pink route. That's all I have to say...

have a good night, and good luck if you still wanna go on the NULL route!!!

There's these 2 achievements you can get which is just all pink and all NULL segments. I recommend going for pink instead of NULL since pink is easier and it makes your bin happy. The reason I don't recommend going for NULL is because it's insanely difficult.

I will leave pros and cons of the two "routes."

Pink

Pros: Easy to get.
Appear just as much as Blue and yellow segments.
Possible to get early since your introduced to them in level 1/2.

Cons: (same with null) If you get ONE segment that isn't the same color
the run is dead unless your that determined.
(same with null) IMPOSSIBLE to do in Screensaver 3D.

gotta post another comment for the NULL route

This isn't a pattern but to get the rarest acheivement you have to collect only ? segments in a run, you can't cheat this either by collecting normal segments until they show and then subtracting. I'm trying to find out a minimum level that they appear at the start, but no luck so far and they didn't seem to appear at all until XB.
