Oh, hi! Welcome to the tutorial!

Baldi

The Tutorial is a mode in Baldi's Basics Plus, which serves a tutorial of Hide-and-Seek with Baldi's help.

Gameplay[]

FirstTimePlaying

The screen that shows up upon creating a new save file and then playing a game on it for the first time. It asks if the player wants to take the Tutorial.

Upon creating a new save file and playing on it for the first time, the player can choose whether or not they want to complete the Tutorial. They can still play this mode whenever they want, however. When this happens, the following message will be displayed: "Since this is your first time playing my game, you should take my quick tutorial! I made it so I can teach you how to play! Whaddya say? If you don't want to take it now, you can always try it later!". If the player presses the "Let's Go!" text, the Tutorial will begin. However, pressing the "No, thanks." text will send the player to the mode selection screen.

If the player is in a room, they cannot open a door to the next location until they finish the task required to open said door.

Clicking on Baldi will make him repeat the previously given instruction.

There are 5 notebooks to collect in this mode.

List[]

The Tutorial teaches the player about many aspects of the game, such as:

  1. Moving
  2. Running on a conveyor belt
  3. Interacting with a standard door
  4. Checking the Baldicator (after the player opens a door)
  5. Collecting a notebook
  6. Answering a problem on Baldi's Math Machine
  7. Collecting, using, and storing items (Quarter and BSODA)

  9. Using a vent
  10. Collecting plus icons to earn You Thought Points
  11. Buying items in Johnny's Store

  14. Interacting with other NPCs (Beans, It's a Bully, and Playtime)
  15. Playing Hide-and-Seek with Baldi

Trivia[]

  • The Tutorial was first mentioned in the second podcast episode,[citation needed] and was first introduced to Baldi's Basics Plus in V0.9.
  • The Quarter and plus icons respawn when 10 seconds have passed after collecting them, resulting in them, along with the BSODA, being renewable in this mode.
  • The only items available in Johnny's Store are the following:
  • Balditorial

    Baldi in the Tutorial.

    When Baldi plays Hide-and-Seek with the player in the Tutorial, Baldi does not slap his ruler to catch the player. Instead, he moves naturally with his tutorial sprite.
    • Also, when Baldi catches the player in this state, he does not cause a game over, and instead, he will stop and let the player go.
  • Principal of the Thing always gives the player 25 seconds of detention, no matter how many times they get caught by him.
  • Baldi's voice lines in this mode are more compressed than those in other modes. This is because mystman12 thought it is important to make users to clearly hear what Baldi is saying.[1]
  • Tutorial map V0.9 Pre-release

    The Tutorial map in V0.9 Pre-release.

    In V0.9 Pre-release, the Tutorial mode was different:
    • The number of notebooks needed to collect was 4, alike to Floor 1.
      • It was changed to 5 notebooks to prevent players from completing the tutorial too quickly.[2]
    • There was a window that connected the Principal's office to the hallway that leads to the first classroom.
    • The price of items in Johnny's Store was 100 YTPs, instead of 250 YTPs. Also, Johnny did not lend a hand for the player.
    • The character posters were located closer to each other.
    • The music was louder.
    • The button could be pressed behind the wall.
  • PossiblyTagTesting

    The hidden Baldi in-game.

    When clipping through the map, there is a hidden Baldi in a single tile. This tile is used to prevent him from roaming around the school until after the countdown during the hide-and-seek segment for the Tutorial.
  • Despite V0.10 replacing super doors' buttons with levers, the super doors seen in the Tutorial still use buttons.
    • In V0.10 Pre-release, the super doors in the Tutorial were briefly changed to use levers, though this change was reverted in its public release.
  • Prior to V0.10, the Tutorial was the only instance where Johnny could sell more than 6 items.


Glitches[]

  • Tutorial - Trapped Principal

    Principal of the Thing, staying in place and not coming out.

    Sometimes, Principal of the Thing does not go out from the one-way swinging door even after pressing a button to open a super door. This can cause soft lock because getting sent to detention by him is the only way to progress this mode.
  • BaldiTutorialExplorer

    Baldi disappearing after the countdown in the Principal's office in the Tutorial, when the Explorer Play Style is present.

    If the player plays Hide-and-Seek with the Explorer Play Style and afterwards plays the Tutorial, Baldi disappears and will not start chasing the player after reaching the final part of the Tutorial.
  • The map will not fill a notebook properly, leading them to be absent. This does not apply to the first 2 notebooks.
  • In V0.9 Pre-release, Baldi would repeat the instruction whenever the player put a BSODA to a storage locker, then took it back.
  • Prior to V0.10.2, the player could pause the game during the mode's ending screen.

Why don't you try it right now by opening this door?
Oh! I heard that! Introducing Baldicator.
When you do things that make noises, I'll hear them
and I'll use those noises to find you.
When we're playing hide and seek you'll have to try to be quiet if you want to win.

Some notebooks are locked behind tricky activities How to solve a math problem in the Baldi's Math Machine.
such as this one, my Math Machine!
If you want to get these notebooks, you'll have to solve the activity first!
To complete this activity, first you'll need to
solve the math problem displayed on the front of the machine.
Then you'll need to
use the action button to pick up the balloon in the shape of correct number
and put it in the Math Machine!
Once you submit an answer, the notebook will appear!
Try it out.
Uh oh... When the player answers the Math Machine problem incorrectly.
Looks like you got that problem wrong.
Don't worry, you can still get the notebook,
but when you're playing my game, getting problems wrong will make it harder!

Then it will be added to your inventory.

Great job! When the player uses a Quarter to the BSODA machine.
Now, spray that soda at me and watch what happens.
WOOOOOAAAAAH! When the player uses a BSODA to push Baldi away.
Did you see that? Sodas can push stuff around!

You did it! Hit the button and then hop into this vent. When the player meets Baldi near the button and a vent.
It's a little shortcut I built.
Would you look at that! The door's open now! Good job! When the player meets Baldi next to the open super door.
Go into the next room to continue the tutorial.
Well this looks like one tricky situation! Introducing plus icons and Johnny's Store.
You'll never be able to get across the conveyor belt by yourself, but I have an idea!
Just grab some of these You Thought Points with the "ACTION" button and then head into Johnny's store.
He'll surely have an item you can buy that will help you out!
That could do the trick! When the player buys at least one item and exits Johnny's Store.
Guess who! Baldi reminds the player to look back.
...
Psst! I'm right behind you!
...
Press the "LOOK BEHIND YOU" button!
...
Woah, you've spotted me! When the player looks back to spot Baldi.

They all like to do their own thing.
For example, if the principal sees you breaking a school rule, he'll send you to detention!
Don't tell him I told you this, but here in the Super Schoolhouse
it can be FUN to break the school rules!
For example, you can find some really cool items in the faculty only rooms.
When you're ready to meet the principal, press this big button.
Then, watch what happens when you break a school rule in front of him!
WOAH! When the player gets detention by Principal of the Thing.
...
Wasn't that crazy? Every one of my friends does something different,
so when you're playing my game, pay attention, so you'll remember what makes everyone unique!
The tutorial is almost over, but this is where the fun begins! How to play Hide-and-Seek.
Once you leave this room, we'll begin a game of hide and seek.
I'll count down from ten, and then start seeking you.
Meanwhile, you'll have to go find the rest of the notebooks.
Try doing that without letting me taaaag you.
It will surely be harder than you think!
Aha! I tagged you! When Baldi catches the player.
In the real game that means you would have lost, but since this is just the tutorial, I'll let you go.
Congratulations! You found all the notebooks! After collecting all the notebooks.
Once you've found all the notebooks in a level
you can finish by leaving through one of the elevators.
Congratulations! You've finished my tutorial! After reaching one of the elevators.

  1. "I'm still using the Blue Yeti as I found a way to fix the issues I was having with it. The real reason the tutorial lines sound different is because I pretty heavily compressed and normalized the audio to ensure it was clearly audible over the music and any other sound effects that might be playing. When I first tested the audio in-game, before compressing it, I realized it was a bit too quiet and, since it's crucial that people can clearly hear what is being said in the tutorial, I opted to edit it in this way to fix that problem. Future Baldi lines outside the tutorial should sound the same as before since I won't be compressing them as much if at all." - Baldi's Basics Plus Steam Community Hub

  3. "Hey all, I've got a quick question and I'm wondering if anyone can help. Basically, when I use a path to create a shape and extrude it, I usually want to smooth it out a bit to make things look rounded. Doing this though has almost always resulted in things looking wrinkly, like in this simple arrow I modeled. You can see the corners and the base all have this wrinkly look to it. In the past I've just dealt with this as is, with occasional attempts to mitigate it by adjusting tension when smoothing, but I'd really like to know if there's a better way to create and smooth custom shaped. Thanks in advance for any help!" - mystman12. Discord
