Trivia

  • The tutorial is on a piece of paper, suggesting that Elder Kettle drew it.
  • By using the unused Ranger weapon by accessing the debug mode or changing the game's files, it's possible for the player(s) to damage and kill themselves. The death screen that pops up says "You are not a warrior, you are a beginner." with a blank white square as the enemy/boss. The phrase is a reference to Sagat's victory quote in Street Fighter II.
  • The tutorial is infamous for its controversy involving Dean Takahashi, a game journalist who had failed miserably on the tutorial and the first platforming level.
  • Early builds named the level "Home Sweet Home."
  • In early demos, the tutorial was a lot less designed and more of a "read this" tutorial.
