Levels
Seven different tutorial's come with RCT3, each taking the form of a park, and a window telling the player what to do. If there is a button to click, it will be highlighted. All other clickable feautures are darkened and inactive.

Another eight tutorials were added in Soaked!, and six came with Wild!.

The player is not be able to return to a previous step, but to quit the tutorial any time.

Camera controls
This tutorial will teach you how to control the game's 3D camera.

The only camera setting feautured is "Normal". At first, you are shown different ways to move the camera, then how to alternate the viewing angle (temporarily) and how to zoom in/out. Finally, the CoasterCam is explained. The tutorial tells you how to point the camera to a desired direction and how to set the distance to the camera. Also, it teaches how to navigate between all camera positions on the same train and between the coaster's different trains.

Placing rides
This tutorial will take you through the process of placing and riding your first RollerCoaster.

First, you are taught how to build a roller coaster. The one chosen by the tutorial is the pre-built design "Little Beast", a Wooden Roller Coaster. Then the turorial shows you how to rotate, place and test it, as well as how to build a queue line to the entrance and a regular path leading from the exit. Because rides need maintanace, the hiring and management of a mechanic is practised before the roller coaster is opened.

Following the tracked ride, a non-tracked ride (Floundering Ferry) is to be built, because of the arbitrarily placeable entrance and exit. On this occasion, the CoasterCam is revealed to also work on non-racked rides. Finally, you are shown how to build and open a shop (Hot Dog Stall).
