SpeedRunners 2 Tutorials: Basic, Advanced and the Reverse Grapple Lesson

The tutorials are where SpeedRunners 2 hands you its entire movement system — and the achievement list confirms exactly how they’re structured: a Basic tutorial (one achievement, “Welcome to New Rush City”) and a set of Advanced Tutorials (cleared together for “Ready for Action”). This guide covers both tracks, and spends extra time on the lesson launch-week players keep getting stuck on: the Reverse Grapple.

The Basic Tutorial: New Rush City

One achievement: “Welcome to New Rush City — Complete the Basic tutorial.” The name confirms the story city is New Rush City, and the lesson itself walks you through running, jumping, sliding and the grappling hook in order.

Tips that matter at this stage:

• Don’t rush the grapple section. The hook is the skill the whole game hangs on — everything in the movement guide builds on it.
• Finish, then replay. The Basic track is short; a second run cements the muscle memory before the Advanced set raises the bar.

The Advanced Tutorials: A Set, Not a Single Lesson

“Ready for Action — Complete all the Advanced Tutorials” makes two things official: the lessons are plural, and you need all of them for the achievement. That structure matters — one stubborn lesson blocks the set, which is exactly why the Reverse Grapple has become launch week’s loudest complaint thread.

What the Advanced set teaches, based on the game’s confirmed mechanics: grapple momentum management, wall-jump chains, slide timing, and technique lessons like the Reverse Grapple.

Stuck on the Reverse Grapple? Check These First

The Reverse Grapple lesson has a cluster of launch-week reports from players who can’t clear it consistently. The full deep dive — the input checklist, the original-game technique behind the name, and what is actually verified about the timing — now lives on the Reverse Grapple page. The short version: test your inputs outside the lesson first, check for the numpad keybind conflict (gameplay actions on the numpad can trigger training-menu shortcuts — the controls guide has the story), treat original-game timing as a hint rather than a recipe, and change exactly one thing per attempt.

After the Tutorials: The Bot Ladder

The achievements then hand you a ready-made practice plan — win matches against three bots at each of four difficulties (Easy, Normal, Hard, Unfair). That ladder is the bridge between tutorials and online play, and it’s the honest order to climb: each tier pressures your movement harder than the last. The full table lives in the achievements guide.
