 This game has a notes page |
 | This article is a work in progress. ...Well, all the articles here are, in a way. But this one moreso, and the article may contain incomplete information and editor's notes. |
 | To do: Retake most of the screenshots in Native Resolution |
LEGO Island 2: The Brickster's Revenge for the Game Boy Advance is your typical handheld port of a 3D game. Compared to the console versions, it has decent music and feels slightly less rushed and incomplete, but that's about it.

Removed Minigames
There are some minigames in this version which seems to be removed completely. The information screens for these minigames are still existing, however trying to start any of these will crash the game.
Jet Lander (Early Version)
It seems like the Jet Lander minigame was changed at some point. Some text looks like it was planned that there were rocks floating around as obstacles like they are in the minigame 'Asteroid Belt'. Also rings are mentioned which would have given the player some bonus points when they went through. The final version is missing both. Interestingly, the controls page for this minigame is missing completely.

Water Scooter
It looks like there was a minigame planned to obtain a water scooter license after winning a race to be able to travel to Adventurer's Island with Johnny Thunder. In the final game this was replaced with a simple task to give Valerie Stubbins a can of fuel. The Water Scooter can be seen on the top-left corner of the worldmap of Adventurer's Island.

Desert Speedster
There are leftovers for a minigame which seems like it was planned to be the first minigame on Adventurer's Island. In the minigame information the Informaniac welcomes the player on Adventurer's Island and tells them to use the Desert Speedster to reach the Lost Pyramid. However, in the final game the Player directly goes to the Lost Pyramid.

Controls
Unused Items
The inventory in the game has a fixed slot for each item, however, some of them contain items which are not obtainable anywhere in the game.
Pepper's House Page
Pepper's house is deconstructed at the start of the game, however rather than Pepper needing to collect a page, Bill Ding immediately rebuilds the house, so this item and its corresponding text goes unused.
Trading Card
Trading Cards are not completely unused, they appear on the overworld at several locations and when collecting they disappear and give the player a card for their card album. For some reason this item has its own inventory slot despite the fact that it never appears there.
Gem
It seems like it was planned that the player received a gem at some point. Interesting is that the item's slot is after the one for the map while all other items are placed before the map.
Empty
For some reason one inventory slot is reserved for an item called "Empty". While other unused inventory slots have no item description at all, this one has it for some reason.
Fruit
Ten slots are reserved for items called "Fruit". It's likely that these slots are reserved for the delivery minigame of Maggie Post in which the player needs to collect fruits. The inventory can't be opened while doing so, making it impossible to see them normally. There are no item sprites for these items.
Super Ladder
One of the slots is labeled as "Super Ladder". It has no sprite but it might be possible that this was supposed to be the ladder which is used to reach the Jail at the end of the game. However, in the end game the ladder is placed automatically when rebuilding the Fire Station.
Shopping List
An inventory slot for an item called "Shopping List" exists in the game. There is no sprite for that item and the purpose of that item is unknown.
Unknown Items
There are several item sprites for items which have no inventory slot. Because item names are binded to the slots, these item's names are unknown.
Magnifying Glass
Binoculars
Oil Can
Pickaxe
Shovel
Hand Drill
Hammer
Unused Text
| To do: There's quite a few place names on the text dump that don't seem to actually be part of the map, including places named after one of the developers. Check which ones are actually unused and add them here. |
Jackhammer Dialogue
| Alternative Version | Final Version |
|---|---|
| Pepper: Hi there. Worker: Hello Pepper. Pepper: Great news. I've found your Jackhammer. Worker: Wow Pepper, that's fantastic. Worker: Now we can finish repairing the bridge. |
Worker: Hello Pepper. You've found our missing Jackhammer! Pepper: Yes, it was on the beach. Worker: At last! Now we can finish fixing the bridge and you will be able to go across. Worker: Thanks very much Pepper. Pepper: Grad to be of service. |
An alternative version of the dialogue when Pepper returns the Jackhammer, in which the builders seem somewhat less enthusiastic than in the dialogue actually used in the game.
LEGO Island Globe
Along with the rest of the Informaniac's tutorial dialogue when you first enter the Club House is this string:
This is the LEGO Island Globe, where you can play multiplayer activities on the Island.
In addition, amongst strings describing the controls, the following can be seen:
Access Globe to play games on the island
 | This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: Are the other controls strings actually used? Also, are there any scans of the manual which mention the Globe or include it in screenshots? |
It's not clear what this did, but it might have allowed some sort of co-op multiplayer when connected to another console, rather than just multiplayer minigames like in the actual game.
Tutorial Messages
That is a new icon, Pepper. It means that you can speak to the person near you. That is a new icon, Pepper. It means that you can enter the building near you. That is a new icon, Pepper. It means that you can enter the vehicle near you.
That's a new icon, Pepper. When you see this icon, you can retry a sub-game.
These are never displayed anywhere, but presumably these strings would be used to explain the HUD icons.
