* StylisticSuck: Drawing from how it is with the movie, unlike every other ''LEGO Adaptation Game'' where body-parts move and stretch as fluidly as organic life, here most characters can only move according to the articulation realistically available to their designs, meaning for minfigs there are no bending elbows or knees, no grasping claws, and no twisting torsos. The exceptions to this are, again like the movie, expressive faces for everybody and Unikitty having a near-constantly shapeshifting brick body.

* MacroZone: While previous bonus levels were already implied to take place in literal sets scaled normally to real life, the bonus level for ''this'' game takes that to the extreme, as thanks to going RussianReversal with the level design, it takes place entirely within Finn's bedroom while all the LEGO characters and models are normal-sized, resulting in an average-sized bedroom becoming a world unto itself.

* EleventhHourSuperpower: The last few levels not only have Emmet unlocking his Master Builder powers, but the last two levels overall feature him piloting his HumongousMecha, and boy does it live up to the awesomeness of the movie, being TheJuggernaut when faced against hordes of Micro-Managers that in past levels gave everybody but Metalbeard major trouble. The very last level also adapts Unikitty's RageBreakingPoint by having her in permanent [[HulkingOut Angry Kitty]] mode for the whole duration.

* GameplayAndStoryIntegration: In contrast to all other LEGO games where almost every character can build stuff, with only the {{Joke Character}}s being exceptions, this game has it where only Master Builders can use hopping random LEGO bricks, while anybody else will initially try to build something before getting confused over the lack of instructions, just like how things are in the movie. An extension of this is how following Emmet's EleventhHourSuperpower moment, all versions of him permanently become Master Builders.

* GameBreakingBug: Breaking a particular bench in Bricksburg before unlocking Batman was found to prevent completing the sidequest for a Red Brick multiplier. The bench becomes indestructible upon returning to Bricksburg, so if that part of the sidequest isn't done... ouch, particularly since the player is expected to smash stuff in the LEGO games.

* ObfuscatingDisability: Implied with Vitruvius. In the levels "Flatbush Rooftops" and "Infiltrate the Octan Tower", he sarcastically comments that the Blind Courage sections obviously don't have anything dangerous going on at all, which makes Emmet and Batman question if he's actually blind or not.

* AdaptationInducedPlotHole: The scene where Bad Cop interrogates Emmet cuts out the part where Bad Cop tells him that President Business plans to use the Kragle in 3 days. Despite this, Emmet is still able to give Wyldstyle this information in the Old West.



** Several scenes from the movie are cut from the story mode to prevent them from being spoiled including Bad Cop's parents getting Kragled (though the scene is alluded to by one of the game's achievements), Vitruvius entering Emmet's mind (though the blue field makes up the Bonus Room until the story mode is completed), Batman stealing the [[Franchise/StarWars Millennium Falcon]]'s hyperdrive, Vitruvius revealing the truth about the prophecy, the reveal of The Man Upstairs, and the SequelHook with the DUPLO Aliens invading Bricksburg.

* ConspicuouslyLightPatch: By the very nature of adapting a movie inherently designed to be completely BuiltWithLego, this ''LEGO'' game is the only complete exception, since ''everything'' is made out of LEGO bricks, meaning what can be broken or interacted with isn't always clear.

* SecretLevel: Downplayed example. The fifth and final hub area, the Bonus Room, is available as soon as they can warp between hubs. There, the player is given the task to collect one million studs in one visit as they build models from complete sets of Golden Instruction Pages. However, most of the hub is shrouded in mists, and the player will very likely not have the resources or Golden Instructions to collect the million studs. After completing the game's story, the Bonus Room becomes unshrouded, revealing it to possibly be Finn's bedroom. Now, more Gold Bricks can be collected and the player will have more of a chance to obtain the one million studs.
