RollerCoaster Tycoon 3D features a "Coaster Story" mode, in which the player begins the game as a young teenager eager to become a rollercoasterroller-coaster designer. The player's father, who manages a theme park, asks Chappy to mentor the player.
 
This mode is part tutorial and part narrative-driven challenge. Chappy guides players through the tutorial, indicating how to interact with the game world. He also offers exclusive building challenges.
 
==Coaster Creator==
Coaster Creator is a mode in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3D that allows players to create a coaster design and save it toonto an SD card. OneA startsplayer will start off with $999,999. The landscape is flat and only one rollercoasterroller-coaster can be built at a time, with no other rides permitted to use. Since no guests can arrive, this mode is strictly a coaster creation tool. However, track limits are the same and one can save up to 9 rollercoastersroller-coasters per SD card.
 
==Critical reception==
Roller CoasterRollerCoaster Tycoon 3D was mostly a large disappointment and gained negative feedback because of a bad storyline, lots of removed elements that were available in previous games and a track limit that does not allow coasters to be very long.
 
Elements that were cut from RollerCoaster Tycoon 3D include, but are not limited to:
*Fireworks.
*A large percentage of rides, most notably water rides.
*Ability to change the landscape.
*Ride names.
*Ride customization.
