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'' ==
[[Image:Portal 1 main menu.png|right|thumb|Portal's main menu]]
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, 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.
