Bionicle: the Game is an action-adventure video game released in 2003. The game is based on the movie Bionicle: Mask of Light and other parts of the Bionicle storyline, but is not actually canon. Initially, the game was supposed to make each Toa, Toa Nuva, and the Toa of Light playable, but due to deadlines, much of the game was dropped. However you can play as all the characters in the Game Boy Advance version.

[edit] Story

The game follows the 2001-2003 storyline with only one obvious omission; the first part of the 2001 story, when the Toa first face Makuta, was cut out. However, many parts of the story were "reduced." It begins when the Bohrok are attacking Mata Nui, and spends two levels depicting Tahu and Kopaka's battles with them. After that, it moves to Gali Nuva's level, in which the Bohrok Kal are introduced, and all defeated at once by Gali. In reality, Tahu Nuva uses the Kanohi Vahi, mask of time, to allow himself and the other five Toa to defeat them. Pohatu's level then depicts a "midpoint" between storylines; Pohatu is delivering the news that the Rahkshi have awakened to Onua. Onua then defeats Lerahk in his level, Lewa fights Panrahk in his level, and Tahu lava-surfs after Kurahk, who has made off with the Mask of Light. When he catches Kurahk, the Mask of Light fuses itself to Takua, who becomes Takanuva and defeats Makuta, lord of shadows, in the game's final level. The Turaga and Matoran only make a couple appearanaces, none of which are very significant to the plot.

[edit] Levels

The game consists of eight levels, within each the player must accomplish a series of tasks as they travel through various regions of Mata Nui. Some tasks include: Collecting lightstones, rescuing Matoran, defeating bosses, etc.

[edit] Level One: Toa Tahu

You play as Toa Tahu and you must rescue several Matoran while working your way through Ta-Wahi to eventually defeat a squad of six Bohrok.

[edit] Level Two: Toa Kopaka

Kopaka must rescue Matoran as he slides down Mount Ihu on his shield. Once he reaches Ko-Koro, he must chase a Tahnok. However, a giant snowball chases him! Eventually Kopaka disables the Bohrok by zapping it with his mask of shielding then shooting it with elemental blasts. Note: Press 'Special' to look in first-person view.

[edit] Level Three: Toa Nuva Gali

Gali Nuva traverses all over Ga-Wahi in search of missing Matoran. Some Matoran are trapped in mysterious Dark Energy Cages, which can only be dissipated by a powerful Nuva blast. To open, recharge until you get your energy full. Quickly press 'Special'. She ends up fighting all six Bohrok-Kal solo.

[edit] Level Four: Toa Nuva Pohatu

Pohatu Nuva is trapped with a Matoran in a mine tunnel and must activate six door panels to escape.

[edit] Level Five: Toa Nuva Onua

Onua Nuva must track down the Rahkshi Lerahk who has ended up in his domain. After passing through Onu-Wahi, he must destroy the shield that Lerahk hides behind. To do so, push rocks into at least 5/6 of Lerahk's energy valves. This will stop the flow of energy and drop a pipe (the Lehrak runs on 6 pipes).

[edit] Level Six: Toa Nuva Lewa

Lewa Nuva must find the Rahkshi that is hiding in the swamps, but first he must find Matoran to activate the Suva so he can get there. Once his Matoran activate his Suva, he can use his glider wings to fly across Le-Wahi.

[edit] Level Seven: Toa Nuva Tahu

Tahu Nuva must chase down a Rahkshi that has stolen the Mask of Light by surfing on an enormous river of lava!

[edit] Level Eight: Toa Takanuva

Takanuva must fight Makuta, defeating many Rahi that spawn near him. Eventually, the battle chamber falls to pieces and they must battle in free fall!

[edit] Inconsistencies

There are a couple of elements in Bionicle, the Game which aren't canon with the actual Bionicle storyline.

When Panrahk is defeated, it drops a Krana, rather than a Kraata. Krana are what give life to Bohrok, not Rahkshi.

Gali uses two different pronunciations of Lewa's name, neither of which are correct. She calls him "Lee-wuh" and "Loo-wuh." The correct pronunciation is "Lay-wah."
