Gates:Main Menu
The Main Menu (Japanese: トップメニュ, Top Menu) is the first menu the player sees every time Gates to Infinity is launched. The main menu opens right after the title screen.
On the top screen, a card detailing the player's progress is shown, including the portrait, name, level and HP of the current leader, the team name, the location (if the game was quicksaved inside a dungeon), the current V-Wave, play time, the total amount of adventures and the main menu icons that track the player's progress.
On the bottom screen, six icons to access the game's features are shown:
New Game/Continue: Brings the player to the core of the game, allowing the exploration of dungeon, progressing the story and accessing Pokémon Paradise facilities.
Discover a Magnagate!: Access the Augmented Reality features of the game, accessing random dungeons with pre-determined Pokémon.
Wonder Mail: Brings to a menu where the player can input codes to obtain items in the game.
DLC: Leads to a menu where the game's Downloadable Content can be bought.
Change Team Name: Allows to change the team name at any moment.
Delete Save: Start a new game from scratch.
Main menu icons are small pictures that appear on the top screen of the main menu when certain story bosses are defeated to track the player's progress. Before their defeat, the icons display as question marks instead.

Background art
Each time the main menu gets loaded the game randomly selects one of three different pieces of background artwork to use.
Trivia
- A debug menu allows to enter a state of needing to be rescued, as well as rescuing automatically while asking for help. When active, it replaces Wonder Mail and only appears when it can be used.
- Two unused pieces of background art can be found in the game's files.
