The [[Main Menu]] (or just '''Menu''') is the place where you can ~~Start a new Game~~, ~~(not yet possible)~~ open the [[Level Editor]], go to the [[Tutorial]], change the ~~Settings~~ or quit the game.

The [[Main Menu]] (or just '''Menu''') is the place where you can play the game, open the [[Level Editor|map editor]] (when going to the main menu via the editor), go to the [[Tutorial]], check your achievements and statistics, change the settings or quit the game.

~~When entering the menu first, the Cobalt logo appears in the middle and moves to the top left. Then a 3D wireframe cube gets created and the buttons appear and the Tutorial selected by default~~.

At the bottom, random [[Splash|splashes]] scroll by (e.g. Tomorrow's weather report: Overcast).

At the bottom, random ~~sentences are scrolling, telling random texts~~ (e.g. Tomorrow's weather report: Overcast).

The top-right displays the current version of the game.

~~At the~~ top right ~~it also shows~~ the current version of ~~Cobalt~~.

==Trivia==

*~~Cobalt has splashes~~ showing on the ~~bottom of~~ the menu. ~~A list of them~~ can be ~~found~~ [~~[Splash|here]~~].

*There is a map called NewMenu.map which is a map showing a landscape with a [[Shroom]] at the left and a [[Minute Jade]] on a table. Next to the Minute Jade is also a [[Radio|radio]] and a console that apparently does nothing. It was speculated that this meant the menu would've been a map, but this was not the case; it was probably an abandoned project. It can be seen in the video [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_fVcmtN3vw ''Cobalt - Action Teaser 2011''] at 0:04.

*Formerly, the Main Menu had a "landscape" layout, which was changed in v124.
