Get to Know Alterna, Your Only Choice is the sixth level in Splatoon 3's story mode, Return of the Mammalians, and the first level of Future Utopia Island and Alterna overall.
Description
This level introduces many mechanics that play a role in future levels, teaching the player how to use them effectively.
Access
This kettle is the very first one accessible upon gaining access to Alterna, being just a short walk away from the Squid Sisters' Camp. Despite being the first level in Alterna, if done correctly, can be completely optional.
Walkthrough
Note: Due to the level having no fee, you may retry from checkpoints as many times as you want, even if you lose all your lives.
Checkpoint 1

The level begins with an inactive ride rail directly in front of Agent 3. After optionally shooting two balloons and jumping through a Squid Ring, the player arrives at a platform with a pair of crates ahead of them. Moving forward reveals that the path to the goal is blocked by three vaults, each of which requires a key. The keys can be collected in any order.
Checkpoint 2

On the left side of the central platform is a Gusher, which leads to a set of smaller platforms connected by an inactive Inkrail. It is too far away for the Hero Shot's ink to reach, but it can be activated by throwing Smallfry at it. Upon reaching the other side, activate the propeller to reach the first key.
Checkpoint 3

Two Squid Rings appear to guide Agent 3 back to the central platform. They land near an Ink Switch, a Sprinkler spreading Octarian ink, and a Squee-G. There is also a pair of dash tracks nearby, which can optionally be used to pass through two more Squid Rings - if Agent 3 doesn't change into swim form to pass through the grate, a nearby Bounce Pad helps them return to the central platform.
Activating the Ink Switch extends an inkable block outward that can be used to scale the nearby wall. At the top are a Balloon Fish and a wall with a second Squee-G patrolling it. Bypass the Squee-G and the second key is available.
Checkpoint 4

At the right is a Bounce Pad, which can be used to optionally reach another crate, and an Ink wheel. If shot, it runs into a nearby sponge. Climbing up the sponge leads to a pair of ride rails and a Squid Ring located between them; on the other side is a pair of Inkfurlers leading to another platform directly across from the last key. A nearby canned special dispenser providing Trizookas makes short work of the two nearby Shielded Octotroopers and triggers another Inkfurler.
After collecting all three keys, simply open the corresponding vaults to reach the goal.

"Goedendag. Mijn naam is O.R.K.A. U kunt mij zien als een... navigatiesysteem... voor inwoners van Alterna."
- (Good day. My name is O.R.C.A. You can see me as a... navigation system... for the inhabitants of Alterna.)
- (Waaah! Where is that voice coming from?!)
- (Welcome to Alterna. Identify yourself to continue.)
"Bah, het is net als wanneer je voor het eerst een telefoon instelt. Laten we de instructies maar gewoon volgen, agent 3."
- (Bah, it is just like when you set up your telephone for the first time. Let's just simply follow the instructions, Agent 3.)
- (Processing… processing… processing… PLING! ♪)
- (Your name is accepted. Thank you for you registration, Agent 3.)

- (You can count on a very munificent reward above all in this first mission... We count on your enthusiasm!)
- (Do we have to know this for the quiz? I actually heard only the words 'Power Eggs'...)
"Dat lijkt me ook het belangrijkste onderdeel. We zullen er een hoop nodig hebben als we opa willen vinden."
- (That also looks like the most important part to me. We will need to have a heap of it if we want to find Gramps.)

- (Press to jump while you are riding a rail.)
- (You did that nicely!)
- (I am perceiving three
vaults and three
keys further on! Suppose that is no coincidence.)
- (Wow, what a collection of gadgetry and trinkets!)
- (No worries! Ink aplenty, and not to mention, a Smallfry! Shoot first, ask questions later.)
- (Such a grate can't stop you if you are swimming! Hold pressed and simply slip through it!)
- (I believe you won't going to make that with a simple jump...)
- (There is a inkrail further on! Perhaps that Smallfry can reach it?)
- (Yesss, well done!)
- (Don't you love that wind in your tentacles?)
- (That was the first key! A good begin!)
- (That busy little scrubber there is a Squee-G. They clean up all ink it comes across!)
- (And that is two! Just one to go.)
- (Did you know you can jump to and fro between ride rails? Move the stick and press !)
- (Oh, a can! Open it up quickly, I want to know what is inside it!)
- (A Trizooka! Press to get it ready, and then press for a sturdy KABLOOSH!)
- (Oooh, you are good with that, Agent 3!)
