Is there any benefit to breaking the checkpoint orbs other than gems?

Is there any benefit to breaking the checkpoint orbs other than gems? - Crashing wave on sea

I was passing by one of the checkpoint orbs, struck it, and noticed that it was breakable. After I broke it, I got a gem but also found that I couldn't respawn at it. Is there a incremental reward for breaking all the checkpoints in a stage, or is the reward linear, i.e. you get the same gem for each checkpoint with no reward for breaking them all?



Best Answer

There are achievements on Steam related to these. (Get the Point and Checkpointless) But with no Achievements in WiiU/3DS it's probably just the personal challenge and tons of gems.
