Tutorial

"Hey, you. Yeah, you! Wanna be the freshest squid on the block? We'll teach you some funky-fresh moves on the way to Inkopolis!"

- Tutorial

The in-game tutorial helps new players learn the basic controls and techniques of Splatoon for online battles and Hero Mode missions. Upon starting up the game for the first time, players are able to customize their Inkling character. Players choose the gender, skin tone, and eye color of their Inkling character before moving on to the tutorial.

Trivia

 * A downed UFO can be found in the area with enemy ink. This is presumably the same UFO the Squid Sisters mention in the beginning of the game.
 * A slightly altered version of the map can be found in the Hero Mode Mission Unidentified Flying Object
