Then, the player is shown the brakes and special elements (of which a looping is built). Next, the auto-complete tool for finishing the circuit is demonstrated, before an entrance and exit are built.
After telling the player how to remove built track pieces, the tutorial moves on to the roller coaster's coloring and testing. In addition to this, the testing statistics panel is explained.
