Line 22:
* [[Conveniently Close Planet]]: The wormhole just happened to eject them next to a planet rich in Energy Crystals and ore.
* [[Cool Starship]]: The L.M.S. Explorer.
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: While most of the games and systems made by LEGO are either bright and cheery (eg [[
* [[Death World]]: Arguably, Planet U.
* [[Deflector Shields]]: The L.M.S. Explorer has them, though crippled by the wormhole incident, and all Rock Raiders use relatively weak ones which act as a [[Never Say "Die"]] health function.
* [[Dishing Out Dirt]]: Rock Monsters.
* [[Drill Tank]]: The Chrome Crusher.
Line 38:
* [[ISO Standard Human Spaceship]] : The L.M.S. Explorer is basically a blocky thing with a hyperdrive at one end.
* [[Magma Man]]: Lava Monsters.
** [[Playing
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Docs is a doctor of medicine and geology. Jet is a pilot. Bandit is a sailor (who likes to steal from monster dens). [[Incredibly Lame Pun|Axle is the top driver]] and was the [[
** Also applies to a great deal of the vehicles and buildings.
* [[Our Wormholes Are Different]]
Line 92:
** Leftover code for a mobile Teleport Pad and a canteen.
** Various animations for the Rock Raiders (including saxaphone playing), and a different face resembling Sparks.
** Different animations for the Rock Monster, such as running in fear, a different eating animation, and... [[What Do You Mean It Wasn't Made
** Icons for various unmade vehicles, buildings and animations, such as a tool store resembling that from the 4910 Hover Scout, buildings resembling those from the 4990 Rock Raiders HQ, a Power Station resembling the Docks, blue Energy Crystals, etc.
** The Tunnel Transport. It appeared as an object in Frozen Frenzy, yes, but code to make it into a proper, fully-functioning playable vehicle was found and reimplemented.
Line 106:
** In the whole game, Chief only tells you ''three times'' about the monsters in that mission, the other times leaving them to be a nasty surprise. Oh, and one of those three times is a [[Blatant Lies|blatant lie]].
* [[Hailfire Peaks]]: The ice level ''Air Raiders'' has a nasty hot surprise in one cavern.
** There's also the level ''[[Exactly What It Says
* [[Hammerspace]]: Sandwiches, shovels and drills can apparently fit in Rock Raiders' pockets.
* [[Hundred-Percent Completion]]: To get to the last level, you have to play through only the levels on the left side. So to beat the game, you only need to play 13 of the 25 missions. If you ''do'' beat all 25 missions, a special outro movie is played where the L.M.S. Explorer warps back home...except that you need to get 100% scoring on ''every level'', which is impossible.
Line 112:
* [[Inexplicably Identical Individuals]]: The standard Rock Raiders: orange uniform, bald head, and a happy smile.
* [[Informed Ability]]: An unintentional case. In one of the training levels, the chief claims that "your Rock Raiders are ''very'' clever". But see [[Artificial Stupidity]] above...
* [[Kill It
* [[Lethal Lava Land]]: A lot. Most notably ''Lake of Fire''.
* [[Non-Lethal KO]]: Rock Raiders never die; they are safely teleported to the L.M.S. Explorer.
Line 120:
* [[Phlebotinum Muncher]]: Rock/Ice/Lava Monsters eat Energy Crystals, and will destroy your buildings to get at them. If destroyed the crystals they have eaten can be recovered. Slimy slugs are similar, except they suck the energy out of them instead.
* [[Ridiculously-Fast Construction]]: The foundations are instantly laid. Just add barriers, ore and crystals! And then they're teleported in or...something.
* [[RPG Elements]]: Rock Raiders can be trained as drivers, pilots, sailors, demolition experts etc., and their experience carries over between missions. They can even be named, but if [[Never Say "Die"|their energy shields are depleted]] they are [[Lost Forever]] until you finish that mission and start another.
* [[Schmuck Bait]]: ''[[Alliterative Name|Lava]] [[Meaningful Name|Laughter]]''. Drill the wall at the top of your cave and... oh look, [[Obvious Trap|a cavern with a crystal cache]]! How wonderful! Of course, your Rock Raiders will run straight for it, [[Too Dumb to Live|ignoring all the Lava Monsters they're disturbing]]...
* [[Slippy-Slidey Ice World]]: A number of levels take place in an ice biome, which means all the walls and floor use ice textures instead of rock or lava.
Line 151:
* [[Hailfire Peaks]]: In the NTSC game, the ice levels actually have more lava in them than the lava levels, which are full of...water.
* [[Hundred-Percent Completion]]: Getting Gold on all 18 missions. In the PAL version, you then get [[What Could Have Been|3 bonus levels]].
* [[Never Trust a Trailer]]: The trailer for the [[Play Station]] game showed [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yzCdmya5A48 blue Energy Crystals, unused teleport pads, and other things not in the game]. To add insult to injury, it also contained modified versions of the clips in the PC game as well as parts of the Rock Raiders clip from ''[[
* [[Regional Bonus]]: More like Regional Different Game. The PAL version has eighteen ''completely different'' levels with much more creative (and difficult) objectives, as well as no respawning tools and nasty Lava Monsters. Also, three bonus levels are unlocked when gold medals are gotten for every level, and there are eighteen two-player levels instead of six (though only six are new, the other twelve are recycled one-player levels).
* [[Too Dumb to Live]]: The only weakness of a Rockwhale is water, which (in large amounts) causes them to get soggy and melt into the ground. Almost all the ones that aren't running around... are standing next to water. Waiting for someone to come along with a pusher beam. Which every level they appear in has.
