{{workUseful Notes}}

== '''Games in the series: =='''

* ''LEGO [[Star Wars (Franchise)|Star Wars]]''

** ''The Video Game'' (featuring ''[[The Phantom Menace (Film)|The Phantom Menace]]'', ''[[Attack of the Clones (Film)|Attack of the Clones]]'', and ''[[Revenge of the Sith (Film)|Revenge of the Sith]]'')

** ''II: The Original Trilogy'' (featuring ''[[A New Hope (Film)|A New Hope]]'', ''[[The Empire Strikes Back (Film)|The Empire Strikes Back]]'', and ''[[Return of the Jedi (Film)|Return of the Jedi]]'')

** ''III: The Clone Wars'' (featuring the ''[[Star Wars: theThe Clone Wars (Animation)|Star Wars the Clone Wars]]'' TV show)

** ''LEGO [[Indiana JonesThe (Franchise)|IndianaForce JonesAwakens]]''

** ''2: DC Super Heroes'' (upcoming; also features heroes like [[Superman (Franchise)|Superman]], [[Wonder Woman]], and [[Green Lantern (Franchise)|Green Lantern]])

* ''LEGO [[The Lord of the Rings (Filmfilm)|Lord of the Rings]]'' (upcoming; featuringFeaturing at least ''The Fellowship of the Ring'', ''The Two Towers'', and ''Return of the King''; unknown if it will include anything from ''[[The Hobbit (Film)|The Hobbit]]'')

* ''LEGO City Undercover'' (upcoming;not an adaptation of a licensed franchise, but an original [[Wide Open Sandbox]] game based on the [[LEGO City]] theme, created exclusively for the Nintendo [[Wii U]] and [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]])

* [[Affectionate Parody]]: Any serious moment from the series they were taken on are changed to light-hearted comedy.

* [[Another Side, Another Story]]: After playing through an episode as Batman and Robin in ''LEGO Batman'', you unlock another episode where you can play as the villains.

* [[Bad Boss]]: Mad Hatter pushes a [[Mook]] into [[Hollywood Acid|Toxic Waste]] ''because he can''. Not because he was in the way or because [[You Have Failed Me...|he had failed him]], ''just because''.

* [[Beam -O -War]]: A staple of wizard duels in ''Harry Potter''; unlike in the books where it was a specific quirk of Harry's and Voldemort's wands.

** Good thing, since some of the stuff that the characters are put through are pretty brutal. It's even lampshaded in one of the cutscenes where Killer Croc [[Off Withwith His Head|beheads Robin with a thrown manhole cover]]... only for the Boy Wonder to put his head back on seconds later, completely okay.

** Parodied in lego SW The Original Trilogy (also in Complete Saga), When Obi-Wan gives Luke his saber in EPIV, he gets carried away and slices [[C 3 P 0]]C3P0's head right off...only for it to be put back in place.

* [[Bowel -Breaking Bricks]]: In a commercial for '''LEGO Star Wars III''' on the website.

* [[Captain Obvious]]: You'd think that in a series where ''everyone'' is a [[Heroic Mime]], this would be averted. However, check out this jewel from ''LEGO Batman'':

** For an example of how these games look to someone unfamiliar with the source material: ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20121016004249/http://www.mytgn.co.uk/forum/content.php?67-Lego-Harry-Potter-as-Explained-by-Somone-Who-Has-Never-Read-Harry-Potter-Introduction LEGO Harry Potter as Explained by Someone Who Has Never Read Harry Potter]''.

* [[Death Is a Slap Onon The Wrist]]:

** You just lose LEGO studs. These are not meant to be [[Nintendo Hard]] games unless you're trying to get [[Hundred Percent100% Completion]] on the DS versions. In those games' vehicle levels, in order to get a minikit piece, ''[[No Death Run|you must not die.]]''

* [[Disc One Nuke]]: ''Lego Harry Potter'' contains a nice little gem. After the second level in the whole game (the first one at Hogwarts) you have the ability to get to the "Collect Ghost Studs" Red Brick powerup, before the plot takes you there. It only costs 50,000 studs, which can easily be obtained by this point, but it allows you to collect the "Ghost Studs" dropped by Nearly Headless Nick as he leads you to the next level/lesson/cutscene you can easily get the 4 million needed to get Accio (which makes a lot of the puzzles moot by just giving you potion items) as well as other spells in just an hour or so of grinding. Makes [[One Hundred Percent Completion]] extremely easy. Add to this a glitch that sometimes allows you to collect ghost studs after you finish year 4 (when you shouldn't be able to) and this really edges into the territory of [[Game Breaker]].

* [[Distressed Dude in Distress]]/[[Distressed Damsel in Distress]]: ''Harry Potter'' is filled with "Students in Peril" that the player can help out of trouble for gold bricks.

* [[Dual -Wielding]]: ''Clone Wars'' has a Red Brick that, when activated, gives player controlled Jedi two lightsabers.

* [[Drop in-In Drop -Out Multiplayer]]

* [[Early -Bird Cameo]]: Indy appears as a secret character in ''LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga'', which is the next game in the series.

* [[Even the Guys Want Him]]: In ''Lego Pirates'', Philip's singing makes hearts appear over guy's and girl's heads alike as they swoon. Often taken to hilarious levels with characters like Blackbeard and Davy Jones.

* [[Fandom Nod]]: In the ''Raiders of The Lost Ark'' hub in ''Lego Indiana Jones 2'', we see a pig being roasted. It's not the official Lego pig, but rather one made by [https://web.archive.org/web/20111227161421/http://www.brickforge.com/store/product.php?productid=16468&cat=304&page=1 BrickForge].

* [[Fighting Your Friend]]: Due to requiring two playable characters on the screen at all times, after Obi-Wan and Anakin make their way through the final Episode III level, they have to fight each other. [[Doomed Byby Canon|However, there's only one way it will turn out]].

* [[Glass -Shattering Sound]]: The special ability of Willie Scott, the Sonic Batsuit, mandrakes, mermaids, and bad singers.

* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: Slave-girl Leia able to do a provocative dance, and the Joker putting a gun to his head (a non-lethal [["BANG!" Flag Gun]], but we don't know that until he pulls the trigger).

* [[Heads I Win, Tails You Lose]]: Cloud City Trap in ''[[Star Wars]]''. Luke wins the boss fight against Darth Vader, but loses anyway.

* [[Hundred Percent100% Completion]]:

** Possibly as a [[Shout -Out]] to her taser-kiss to Max Shreck in ''[[Batman Returns (Film)|Batman Returns]]'', Catwoman can pull this off as well if she catches a [[Mook]] from afar with her whip.

* [[May the Farce Be Withwith You]]

* [[Merchandise -Driven]]: All the games have been based on pre-existing building sets. ''Pirates'' had the slight twist in that the game was announced before the sets were.

* [[Missing Secret]]: Eventually subverted for ''LEGO Star Wars II''. In December 2006, a code was given on [httphttps://web.archive.org/web/20070509110012/http://starwars.com/welcome/about/news/f20061222/indexp11.html an old StarWars.com page] (that if not for the help of Wayback Machine, would be [[Lost Forever]]) for Disguise 3. But there's no Disguise 2! ...Until March 2007, when Disguise 2's code was finally revealed. However, at the time, [[Bribing Your Way to Victory|players had to donate]] to [[Comic Relief]] for Red Nose Day in order to find out.

** The final levels of each section of ''LEGO Batman'' are each references to the endings of [[Batman (Filmfilm)|the]] [[Batman Returns (Film)|first]] [[Batman Forever (Film)|three]] of the original Batman movies. Even ''[[Batman and Robin (Filmfilm)|Batman and Robin]]'' might have gotten a [[Shout -Out]] with Mr. Freeze's ice cream factory hideout earlier in the game.

** One of Bane's "throw" moves is pretty much [http://thatchadblog.files.wordpress.com/2008/11/bane-breaks-batman-497pg21.png?w=300&h=452 this]{{Dead link}} cast into LEGO form. It's only slightly less painful-seeming. As a further [[Shout -Out]] to ''[[Knightfall]]'', it's one of the few throw moves that can be performed on a non-[[Mook]] character, though only on Batman.

*** Voldemort has Harry Potter. He [[No -Nonsense Nemesis|Just Shoots Him]].

** Getting terrified of the Dementors in ''[[Harry Potter|LEGO Harry Potter]]''? No worries, just turn on the appropriate cheat command and pop a huge pair of glasses, giant nose, and handlebar moustache on them! [[Fridge Logic|And the book says it's impossible to make a dementor seem funny...Pah!]]

* [[Oddball in Thethe Series]]: ''LEGO [[Rock Band]]'' plays exactly like a regular ''Rock Band'' game, while all the rest are puzzle-platformers.

* [[Paper -Thin Disguise]]:

* [[Plot Tailored to Thethe Party]]: In order to achieve [[One Hundred Percent Completion]], you have to collect different types of characters and replay the 'Free Mode' to be able to access the areas that only certain characters with certain abilities can gain access to.

* [[Power -Up Magnet]]: The "Stud Magnet" cheat.

* [[Red and Black Andand Evil All Over]]: Red and black objects can't be maniuplated by most characters and are reserved only for those with evil powers.

* [[Shout -Out]]: In ''Clone Wars'', a cutscene shows the clones wanting to use [[Alien|a very familiar mechsuit to fight a huge enemy spawning queen]]. Sadly, it's buried in rubble before it can be used.

* [[Spared Byby the Adaptation]]: In ''Pirates'', Anamaria appears in ''Dead Man's Chest'' and ''At World's End'' despite her conspicuous absence from those movies.

** Satipo survives and switches sides in ''LEGO Indiana Jones'', though [[What Happened to Thethe Mouse?|disappears from the plot afterward]].

* [[Superman Stays Out of Gotham]]: while the first ''[[Lego Batman]]'' played this trope straight by featuring only Gotham characters, the announced sequel, the aptly titled ''Lego Batman 2: DC Superheroes'' makes it quite clear it's going to avert the trope ''hard'' by having, [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|well]], [[Massive Multiplayer Crossover|the rest of the DCU joining in]].

* [[Title: the Adaptation]]: For ''Batman'' and the first ''Star Wars''

* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: If the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KuSwjQem9-0 trailer] is to be believed, the infamous assassin from that one scene in ''[[Indiana Jones]]'' ''wasn't'' shot for once. {{spoiler|Didn't stop him from being ''pelted by a banana''.}}

* [[Two -Keyed Lock|Two Lever Lock]]

* [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything]]: When distance-tagging (the ability to tag to another character without standing next to them) was introduced, you may have thought using this to tag yourself out of falling to your death. However, if the death has already been registered by the game, you will lose your studs ''anyway'', and you will be left at [[One -Hit -Point Wonder|25% health]] (12.5% in LEGO Batman) as a "punishment".

** This causes Darth Vader's [[Luke, I Am Your Father]] moment to be handled... [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NND55jsXc9s&feature=related differently...]

** [[Kick the Dog|Beat.]] [[You Bastard|Up.]] [[ThisPunctuated! IsFor! SpartaEmphasis!|Alfred.]] And... you know, pretty much ANYONE hanging around the bat-cave.

*** [[Zero Punctuation|Yahtzee]] mentions repeatedly killing Short Round for fun in his review of ''Indiana Jones''.

** The sandbox elements in ''Lego Batman 2'' make it possible for [[The Cape (trope)|Superman]] to steal the Batmobile and go on a [[Bloodless Carnage|bloodless killing spree]]. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJsE2JNhWco#t=106s No, really].

* [[Villain Team -Up]]: Several in ''LEGO Batman''.

** In Jabba's palace, you can set up stereos that play a [[Heavy Metal (Music)|Heavy Metal]] remix of the "Imperial March" (aka the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9CVODEhTGA Rage Mix]). The guards with axes start playing the axes like guitars.
