This level is additionally listed in a look-up table in the memory at offset 0x148819EE (European version). At 0x148819FA (same version) is the display name "Tutorial" for the course select. This level was probably meant to appear on first play like its predecessor did. But for the final release it remains unused. Binding this level to the course select will display the banner of Scorpio Circuit for it.
