LEGO Island: Difference between revisions

* [[Chuck Cunningham Syndrome]]: Quite a few characters have had this such as Captain D. Rom and Captain Click.

* [[Dem Bones]]: ''LEGO Island'' is filled with skeletons and ghosts.

* [[Disappeared Dad]]: Pepper's father in the first game, Bologna Roni, was an explorer that vanished.

* [[Donut Mess with a Cop]]

** ''LEGO Island 1'': The instruction manual claims that scoring red blocks in every minigame unlocks another set of missions, like a challenge mode. Although the Information Center appears to include a few remnants of the GUI for this, the feature no longer exists.

** ''LEGO Island 2'': A small tomb-like area near a pyramid was removed from the game, but all the developers did was block off the entrance. It's still possible to get inside with a game modification.

* [[Exactly What It Says on the Tin]]: [[Captain Obvious|It's an island made of LEGO.]]

* [[Fishing Minigame]]: ''LEGO Island 2''.

* [[Funny Foreigner]]: Papa Brickolini

** In ''LEGO Island 2'', the pterodacytl is unlocked in the jungle part of Adventure Island. If you use the pterodacytl to fly to the ''desert'' part of the island, though, it respawns itself in the jungle... and leaves you trapped with no way home.

** In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, Space Mountain can't be entered after you beat the game. If you get off of the train after defeating the Brickster, you will be stuck there.

* [[It's a Wonderful Failure]]: What happens if you lose the Pizza/Brickster mission in the first game. The Brickster rules the island and takes everything apart. Quite scary for many a young player, despite the fact that the Infomaniac says it's ok and that they can rebuild the island.

* [[LEGO]]: [[Captain Obvious|Doy]].

* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]

* [[Loads and Loads of Loading]]: ''LEGO Island 2''.

* [[Lost in Translation]]: In the German version of the original game, Mama is asked why she came to LEGO Island rather than what brought her there. Her reply is still the same, so the joke makes little sense now.

* [[Mini Game]]: In all three games.

** The red mountain car in some of the official screenshots that nevertheless never appeared in the first game.

** The locked door in the pirate's cave can't be opened, to the chagrin of many children. This was ''supposed'' to open to something, as were many of the buildings being "remodeled". It was also a teaser for the only other game in the six part series to be named. It was supposed to be called ''Beneath the Phanta Sea''. This was the only other game that had stuff planned out for it before the whole six-part series concept was axed.

* [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast]]: Mr. Hates in ''LEGO Island 2'' (who is similarly named Sam Sinister in some of the "Adventurers" LEGO sets).

** You accidentally break Brickster out of the jail in the first game by delivering him a pizza that smells so powerfullly that the fumes pick the lock. In ''LEGO Island 2'', you accidentally break him out of jail again by delivering him a pizza that's so spicy he gains fire breath and melts the door down.

** Comes with a bit of [[Fridge Brilliance]], as well (at least in the first game). You can only get the "Deliver Pizza to the Brickster" mission as Pepper, who is established to not be all that great at reading. There's a sign in front of the Brickster's cell that says "No Pizza" when you're playing as someone else, but says "No Pizaz" instead when you're playing as Pepper. The poor kid was set up!

''"Papa, you are just imagining things!"''

''"Imagining knees? ... You're probably right." *throws leg into ocean*'' }}

** The main purpose of the first game was just to explore the island, build things, drive vehicles, perform missions and tasks, interact with people, and [[Rule of Fun|have fun.]]

** The Brickster mission is a relatively longer mission and can be considered the plot of the game, though doing this mission is not required in order to play any other parts of the game.

* [[Punny Name]]: Pepper Roni, Rhoda Hogg (a race car driver), Buck Pounds (a banker), Bill Ding (a builder), Red Greenbase (a man with a red shirt and green pants), Jack O'Trades (a storekeeper), Rob Banks, Captain D. Rom (a bad pun on CD-ROM), Ed Mail (a pun on email), Mac Roni (Pepper's grandfather) -- the list goes on.

* [[Really 700 Years Old]]: The Infomaniac says he was on the Island for "A zillion years".

** If you listen hard enough, you can even hear him ''cry'' a little.

** In the first game, it can be rather amusing to ram into people and watch them explode and rebuild in front of you.

* [[The Voice]]: Several radio announcers and Captain Click.

** In the ending FMV of ''LEGO Island 2'', a girl randomly walks up and kisses Pepper and dances with him. She was never seen anywhere else in the series, and nothing is known about why she was there in the first place.

** Many characters from all the games.
