The overall vocal track and instrumental track for the song was modified in many ways.
The Tutorial level in Story Mode is now titled "Teaching Time".
Lyrics
Left, right.
Left, right.
That's how you do it!
Up, down.
Up, down.
That's how you do it!
Left, up, down, right.
Down down, up.
Down down, right.
Down up right up, right.
Trivia
Tutorial plays exactly the same on both Easy and Normal difficulties. However, on Hard difficulty, there is an additional wave of notes at the very end of the song.
These notes are the only ones in the game meant to not sync with the music and are instead there to throw the player off, especially their first time.
Originally, the noises Boyfriend makes could still be heard even when missing a note. This was due to the music and vocals not being separate, which was changed in the WeekEnd 1 update, giving each character their own vocal track.
Prior to the Week 7 update, Tutorial was the only song in the game to have full vocals in its preview in the Freeplay menu.
Before version 0.2.1, Tutorial was part of Week 1's track lineup. Until it was separated, this made it the week with the most songs in the game with 4.
This also technically made it the first week in the game where more than one opponent is fought.
Girlfriend's cheering pose and Boyfriend's V-sign pose, used whenever "That's how you do it!" is uttered, were added to this song in the Week 7 update.
Tutorial is the only song to not be re-charted for the Week 7 update.
In a rough demo version of Tutorial released by Kawai Sprite, the beginning of the song has an introduction: "This is, like, the intro where she talks and shit. Hi everyone, it's me, your uh, girlfriend. Like, come on, if you wanna date me, you're gonna have to beat my dad in a singing battle. So, you're gonna have to fucking figure out how to play the game, right? Alright, so, um, I dunno, some shit like this? Then she says some shit like this."
The song plays as normal until the vocals stop after Girlfriend says, "Down down, right."
Tutorial used to be the only section in Story Mode without a level title. As of the WeekEnd 1 update, its section is now titled "Teaching Time".
With the release of the WeekEnd 1 update, Tutorial went through some minor changes: the audio mixing was slightly tweaked, Boyfriend's voice is notably lower pitched and Girlfriend's voice is mixed differently; it now has a slight delay instead of reverb, and she now repeats the same set of "Left, right. Left, right" twice at the beginning instead of saying it in two different ways.
This makes Tutorial the first song to be slightly altered after its initial release. The second was Bopeebo, the third was Fresh, the fourth was Cocoa, the fifth was Eggnog, the sixth was Senpai and the seventh was Roses.
Tutorial has an ERECT remix that will be released in the future.[1]
It was one of the first ERECT remixes made by Kawai Sprite.
It is currently PhantomArcade's favorite ERECT remix, as of the 8th of June, 2024.[2]
