Main menu

The Main Menu is an important gameplay element of nico's nextbots and is the first screen prompted to the player when they join and load into the game. 
The player can access the pause menu, a variant of the main menu, by pressing or the button, or via the leaderboard by pressing or the button.
==Appearance==
The main menu consists of the game's icon and title at the top, with various buttons listed on the left, a "gamepass prompt" on the bottom right, and an overview of the currently selected Arcade map or the lobby. Static covers the screen at all times, and periodically switches to multiple perspectives of the current map.
The pause menu is relatively the same, with the exception of the additional two buttons, and the camera's perspectives set to look at the player instead.

== Trivia ==
*The main menu may be a reference to the game Half-Life 2, which inspired the creation of Garry's Mod, the game's main reference.
*The main menu has different static effects compared to the regular static effects shown everywhere else.
**One of the static effects shown in the menu comes from the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise.
*Prior to the release of the pause menu, attempting to return to the main menu would prompt a "you must be SAFEZONED, INVULNERABLE or AFK to return to menu" status if neither of the requirements were met.
**Alongside this, it was possible to see various perspectives of the maps seen in Open World and Social Space.
