that tells you information about your character. In Halo, it shows you your shield. In Doom, it shows your own face, bloodied and as pulpy as raw hamburger. In Super Mario Bros. how many lives you have left. And so on.

Wipe out on the expert’s slopes and you are going to want to know, very quickly, how damaged you are, what the state of your shields are, and how many spare lives you have left.
