* The story of ''Toys/{{BIONICLE}}'' opens with the [[LivingLegend Toa Mata]] awakening after washing up on the shore of the mysterious island of Mata Nui, [[PullingThemselvesTogether assembling themselves]] and then setting out to [[AmnesiacHero learn who they are and why they're here]]. Subverted with the ''Mata Nui Online Game'', which takes place at the same time; game protagonist [[GuileHero Takua]] also wakes up on a beach with no memory (in fact he wakes up right in front of one of the pods that the Toa washed up in) but the ''[=MNOG=]'' is a sequel to the game ''Quest for the Toa'', which shows how Takua got there.
