# StarterGui

StarterGui : `Instance`

## Overview

The default GUI container for storing UI elements such as ScreenGui that will be displayed on the player's screen

Each time a player's character is spawned in the game, all UI elements inside StarterGui are copied into that player's PlayerGui, removing and replacing any previously copied UI.

StarterGui also provides functionality for controlling CoreGui elements like the joystick and jump button.
