Line 2:
Many games have [[Forced Tutorial|tutorials that must be completed before the game can begin.]] Even if you've already beaten the game, if you start anew you must do the tutorial again, which can be frustrating. However, for someone who is just starting, tutorials can be more useful than reading the manual as it gives some hands-on experience before being thrown into the action.
 
An [['''Auto Pilot Tutorial]]''', however, is more like ''watching'' a manual than actually practicing. Control is taken away from the player as the game demonstrates how to perform tasks by itself, usually with either voice-over or onscreen text explanations. Some people might find this more helpful than just being told what to do step-by-step in a controlled tutorial, as with the auto pilot the player has an idea of what they're expected to do and what it looks like to do so correctly.
 
Compare: [[Forced Tutorial]], which this almost always is, [[Attract Mode]], which this resembles when not forced, and [[Justified Tutorial]], which this never is.
