[edit] Characters

In LEGO Island, you are allowed to play as one of five characters. These characters can be chosen in the information center. Each character also has a brief video describing who they are. Every character has different abilities, and gets their own score for the missions they do.

Playable Characters

• Pepper Roni: "The Dude with the Food", he is the adopted child of Mama and Papa Brickolini, and is arguably the game's "main" character. His real father, Bologna Roni, was a great adventurer, but vanished without a trace. Pepper can not read very well. His favorite food is a pizza, and he is a pizza delivery boy.

• Papa Brickolini: A chef who makes pizzas and loves to dance. Along with his wife, Mama Brickolini, they adopted Pepper as their son. Papa and Mama first met on a ship to LEGO Island. Papa is an excellent dancer, but unfortunately a terrible singer.

• Mama Brickolini: Papa's wife, a skilled pianist. Although Mama Brickolini has exceptional hearing, she is nearsighted.

• Nick Brick: A detective of LEGO Island who has a keen memory. Laura Brick is his sister, who serves as an officer with him.

• Laura Brick: Nick Brick's sister, who is also a police officer. She cannot do math or even count very well.

Unplayable Characters

• Infomaniac: The creator of LEGO Island, he is very knowledgeable in many areas and aids the player throughout the game. He is very linguistic, but forgetful.

• Brickster: The villain of LEGO Island, attempting to dissemble it, brick by brick. He and the Infomaniac were at one time best friends, until the Infomaniac mentioned he was going to make a new minifigure for LEGO Island. This made the Brickster jealous and go crazy, and so he stole bricks from LEGO Island to make his own OGEL Island. Pepper, Nick, and Laura caught and arrested him. He currently is in the LEGO Island jail.

• Captain Click: LEGO Island's dead pirate, he lives in the cave by Mountain Park. He will give helpful information if the player clicks on the door to the cave or the drawers on the desk on the information center's third floor. His voice is credited as "The Pirate Skeleton" in the credits. His mother was a mermaid. His father was King Neptune, he was.

• Enter and Return: LEGO Island's identical twin medical comedians. Return drives the ambulance, while Enter gives directions.

• Dr. Clickitt: LEGO Island's doctor. His brother is Ed Mail, who is a mailman.

• Studs Linkin: LEGO Island's champion racer. He will frequently brag about his superiority at racing and will resort to making excuses if he loses. The player can challenge him to a race if he/she builds a race car.

• Rhoda Hogg: A race car driver, she is mean-spirited and insulting during races. However, she is a good sport and will admit to losing fair and square.

• Margaret Post: The manager of the Super Store. It is closed for remodeling (which is never finished), but she will let the player pick a style. She lives in the house on the south side of Mountain Park.

• Bill Ding: A building expert who changes his personality depending on the hat he puts on. He aids the player in building various vehicles.

• Captain D. Rom: Excitable chief of police. He has more energy than he needs when doing his job. He always wants to make an arrest when he can, only to realize that the circumstances are not right.

[edit] Missions

• Tow Truck Mission : There is a stranded car in the race track that must be towed so the racers can finish the race.

• Hospital Mission: Dr. Clickitt's drivers are out, and the player must drive the ambulance and help save various citizens of LEGO Island.

• Pizza Mission: The player must deliver pizza across the island. (This ultimately leads up to the Brickster escaping from jail, if you perform this mission as Pepper after building the helicopter.)

• Race Track: The player must race two laps around a giant, complex race-track (most of which takes place in a cave) against Studs Linkin and Rhonda Hogg. In the middle of the track, there is a giant skeleton who will try to kick the player off the bridge and make him/her drive around the loop again.

• Jet-ski Race: The player must race two laps around the island against Snap Lockitt and Valerie Stubbins. The main obstacles include stalagmites, boats, buoys, and spinning pyramids.

• Catch The Brickster: After choosing Pepper and delivering a pizza to the jail, the Brickster steals the helecopter and the power brick from the top of the information center. With this brick, the Brickster will try to deconstruct every building on the island. The player must then go to the West side of the island, near the residential area. From here the player chases down the Brickster and collect the bricks he drops from the back of the ambulance. After finding a number of bricks (which are pieces of the helicopter), the player must run around the island to find the remaining three pieces. These pieces catcall whistle at you. Then, assemble the helicopter to launch doughnuts to speed up the police, and launch pizzas to get the Brickster to slow down. If the police collide with the Brickster, the mission is won and the ending movie plays. If the player goes too slow, all of the buildings will be deconstructed and a sad movie will be played. Everyone will be disappointed with Pepper, and then magically all of the buildings are back again and the brickster is back in jail.

[edit] Trivia

• Dr. Clickitt's name is misspelled as Dr. Clickett in the credits. Captain Click is listed as "The Pirate Skeleton" in the credits and Ed Mail is listed as E. Mail in the credits.

• The sign next to the jail says "PIZZA" unless you are playing as Pepper. In this case, the sign is seen as "PIZAZ" because Pepper cannot read very well.
