**Gameplay Focus**
From a broader perspective, Sparrow Country focuses on time trials and racing. Players do not have ‘lives’ and there is no concept of death. However players may be reset or teleported with naming that reflects the action that displaced them, and in some cases players may have a limited number of resets to complete a challenge successfully.
**Energy & Stamina**
Sparrows have limited bursts of energy and require constant monitoring of their stamina to maintain consistent movement. Players must slow down their sparrows to conserve energy. The world provides various ways to replenish stamina, and players can reset their character to a safe location if they get stuck or need to regain their footing. The game always offers numerous utilities to keep the player informed and instruments to help them navigate. Players should never be lost in Sparrow Country.
**Stars & Experience**
Collecting stars increases experience, and players can spend them to boost their energy and enter a star burst. This burst lasts until either all stars are depleted or the player chooses to end it to retain their remaining stars. Stars are also used in certain interactions with other characters, such as fast travel in Story Freeform mode.

- The first level and some smaller supporting levels
