The '''Main Menu''' of ''[[Portal]]'' and ''[[Portal 2]]'' are interactive hubs for accessing different game modes, changing in-game options such as sound and graphics settings, and for viewing additional contents.

== ''Portal'' ==

The main menu is the first interactive screen shown after starting [[Portal]]. It provides the player ~~with the ability~~ to commence a new ~~game, play one of several bonus maps, continue the game from a previously saved state, listen to the~~ [[~~Portal developer commentary~~|~~Developer Commentary~~]], ~~view~~ [[~~Achievements~~]] or ~~manage in-game settings~~.

The main menu is the first interactive screen shown after starting up ''Portal''. It provides access to a number of options that the player can use to commence a new [[story|game]], access bonus [[test chambers|maps]], or continue from an existing savegame.

There is also an option to begin the game with [[developer commentary]], view a list of [[achievements]], and a access list of options that the player can change, including the control scheme, sound and visual settings.

The player can close the game by selecting "Quit".

== ''Portal 2'' ==

[[Image:Portal 2 main menu.png|right|thumb|Portal 2's main menu]]

The main menu is the first interactive screen shown after starting up ''Portal 2''.

The menu allows the player to either begin a single-player campaign (including [[Challenge Mode|challenges]]), begin a [[Cooperative Testing Initiative|cooperative]] campaign, go look at Community Testchambers, or manage in-game settings. Additional [[videos|promotional videos]] can be accessed by clicking the [[#Extras|Extras]] option. The [[Robot Enrichment]] menu allows the player access to their Cooperative Testing Initiative [[Backpack]] and equip cosmetic items.

''Portal 2'' features several backgrounds that display pre-rendered videos, which correspond to the story act currently being undertaken in the single-player campaign, or the most recently loaded single-player map. If a single-player map has not been played recently, the main menu will default to the first menu background (broken GLaDOS).

The player can close the game by selecting "Quit".

=== Extras ===

The "Extras" option in the main menu provides access to a list of media, including promotional content and game trailers. The list includes:

* [[Full Co-op Trailer (video)|Meet the Bots]], the full trailer showcasing co-op mode.

* [[Portal 2 Teaser Trailer (video)|GLaDOS Awakes]], the Portal 2 teaser video.

* [[Bot Trust (video)|Bot Trust]], [[Panels (video)|Panels]], [[Turrets (video)|Turrets]] and [[Boots (video)|Boots]], promotional videos featuring the voice of [[Cave Johnson]].

* [[Portal 2: Lab Rat|Portal 2 Comic]], the Portal 2 comic "Lab Rat". Links to [http://www.thinkwithportals.com/comic/ the website]; as the comic is not actually in the game files.

* {{w|Super 8 (film)}}, a promotional interactive trailer for the movie of the same name. Loads a map ({{code|e1912}}) where you start out inside a train car, and experience an event from the movie from the perspective of someone in the train from the film.

The main menu is the first interactive screen shown after starting [[Portal 2]]. It allows the player to start a single player or co-operative game, or manage in-game settings. Additional videos and concept art can be accessed by clicking the Extras option. [[Robot Enrichment]] allows the player access to their co-op [[Backpack]]. The backgrounds show pre-rendered videos that reflect the player's current progress through the game, and loosely correspond to the Chapter currently being undertaken in the single player campaign.
