[edit] Other Versions

I think that this article should do more than briefly mention the GBA and DS versions, because the DS and GBA versions are extremely dfferent and either merit their own section, article, or at least some way of mentioning them ToaRabin 16:46, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image for article

Toa Mario (talk · contribs) keeps replacing the Nintendo image with the wii image (which is about to be deleted, anyway) ... the problem is that there is a very big difference in size, and when enlarged, the wii image is severely degraded on larger resolution monitors ... I have removed the size tag so that it is not quite as ugly ... BTW, that user seems to have violated WP:3RR on this article. --68.239.79.97 20:49, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] About DS Version, and other stuff

The DS Version of Bionicle Heroes is quite different:

  • Only the Toa Inika (plus the anonymous hero) are playable (Piraka are not playable).
  • Vezon and Fenrakk do not appear at all.
  • Only Piraka appear as bosses.
  • The DS Version has not 25 levels, but 37: (five for each Piraka's region, and 7 in "Makuta's Domain" (one for each element, plus the final level "Final Showdown", where all the Piraka appear).
  • The DS Version also has only 6 bosses (each Piraka in their own region, plus all 6 in the level "Final Showdown").
  • Dying does NOT lose you a mask. However, some of the Technics collected in that level are lost forever, others are dropped at the site of death.
  • There is no in-game Lego Shop. Technic pieces are used only in conjunction with runes (each with one of 16 letters on them, which are used to spell out relevant words such as "Hakann", "Irnakk" or "Voya Nui") in order to unlock one of 12 bonuses, which can affect gameplay by granting a power such as invincibility, by increasing the difficulty, or altering the size of enemies; some however do things such as make enemies multicoloured, launch farm animals from the anonymous hero's Zamor Sphere launcher, or change the sound of the game. These bonuses can be switched on or off once unlocked. However some, such as "Big Head" and "Tiny Enemies" cannot be active simultaneously.
  • There are no silver or gold canisters. There are canisters in colours depending on which region the level is in, which must be broken by firing at it. These canisters yield Technic pieces.
  • All constractions are made by the anonymous hero. There are 5 types: door, bridge, lift, statue and Piraka head (the rarest). When confronted with one such constraction, the symbol for the protagonist will appear, indicating to switch to him. The statue is of Toa Jaller, and is the only one to yield Technic pieces, other than the Piraka head. The Piraka head is unique in that after the protagonist builds it, he destroys it. Statues are not necessary to complete, whereas the other types normally are. Piraka heads normally block the way to the level exit, so it is required to build (and destroy) them.
  • Rahkshi do appear, but as normal enemies alongside the Bohrok, Vahki and Visorak. Scorpion-like Rahi also appear, but they are not common.
  • Secrets can be found: generally they are either gold Technics (worth 100 normal Technics), runes (some enemies drop runes, but these dropped runes are generally letter "A" or "K", the most common letters; the secret runes are rarer letters) or armor runes (which add to your maximum health). After collecting all three of Toa Hahli's masks, Toa Hahli can seek out nearby secrets on the radar.
  • Toa Nuparu can destroy certain types of wall. Toa Hewkii can destroy other types of wall. When confronted with one of these types of wall, the corresponding symbol for that Toa will appear.
  • Each Toa only has one weapon (except for Toa Jaller who has two).

By the way: I don't know if any of the above points are true for the console versions...

See, big difference. And that's just the DS version. Having more info about the different versions would help a great deal - because it is a great difference. Me myself or I 17:46, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

I've also noticed, the anonymous hero is wearing a white Hau mask while a Matoran; after the transformation, the protagonist is wearing a Calix mask of Fate (or a very similar mask).
