● Starting the Game
The first time you begin the game, it will automatically create a save file and ask you whether you would like to view the tutorial or jump right into the game. If you select to view the tutorial, it will require that you complete the tutorial before accessing other areas of the game. If you skip the tutorial, all modes will automatically be unlocked and you can begin playing the regular game, view the leaderboard, or learn how to play (→P.11). If you have any saved-game data, ThruSpace will automatically read the data and proceed to the title screen.
