* ObviousBeta: The second game shows a lot of signs of this, with its jerky physics, excruciatingly long load screens (which were the result of lousy programming, by the way), and just generally seeming incomplete as a whole in a number of ways. The game was rushed quite a bit and had a good chunk of its planned content cut out, which left it in this state.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The first game contained many, many, many, many, MANY, of these. In fact, pretty much the whole game is comprised of them.

* GoodBadBugs: The famous runaway vehicles bug in the first game, where if you exit a vehicle while driving it before stopping, the vehicle continues going onward by itself using the same AI as the citizens to go along the roads. This works for every vehicle in the game aside from the helicopter, so you can even do it with the skateboard, the bicycle, and the jet ski. It becomes total havoc if you can get every vehicle in the game to do this.

* GoodBadBugs: GameplayDerailment: In ''LEGO Island 2'', "Mr. Hates' Camp" is meant to be beaten with the player airlifting the dinosaurs out of their pens and releasing them at the designated drop point. Many players don't realize that there is a drop point and instead drop off the dinosaurs anywhere in the level - even right back into their pens. The player is supposed to fail the subgame if they don't achieve enough points from freeing the dinosaurs the intended way, but the player also earns 5500 points for dropping three sandbags on Mr. Hates at the end, which is enough to win the subgame as long as they don't miss too many sandbags. Therefore, unless going for gold ranking, winching the dinosaurs to safety is optional despite being the entire point of the subgame.

** In the "Mr. Hates' Camp" mini-game in ''Lego Island 2'', Pepper mistakes baby ''T. rex'' for ''Velociraptor''. ''Velociraptor'' figures have been made since ''Toys/LEGODino'' in 2012.

* {{Narm}}: Most of the serious lines in ''LEGO Island 2'' turn into this. The Infomaniac's BigNo is a standout.
** Also the Brickster's complete DullSurprise voice acting upon being captured, finishing with a big "Heeeeeeeelp!"

* SpecialEffectsFailure: In the first game during the racing segments, all of the island's building and other distinct features disappear throughout the course of the challenge, possibly due to a coding error that prevented them from loading during the action of the main challenge.

* OnceOriginalNowCommon: The rise of open world video games in the years since the original game came out can make it difficult to appreciate what a big deal the game was for the kids who originally played it. Back when the game came out, kids didn't have access to anything like it.

** OOOOPS! You have to put the CD in your computer![[labelnote:Explanation]]If you try to open the first game without the CD in the disc drive, a special message comes up with the Infomaniac reminding you to put the CD in your computer. It's an edited version of a line intended to play upon the player ejecting the disc from the drive during play that ultimately went unused, with the Infomaniac telling the player to "put the CD ''back'' in [their] computer". It quickly became subject to memetic edits [[YoutubePoop Youtube Pooping]], such as [[https://youtu.be/-ABh1XAOiWM?si=EsDmEoOvlPsD3b4Q this notable one]], where the Infomaniac asks you to do... [[AssShove something else]] with it.[[/labelnote]]

** "Oops! Driving ain't like skateboarding!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]From ''LEGO Island 2'', Pepper says this every time he crashes into something in the driving mini-game. It became notorious for how often it's heard.[[/labelnote]]

** "My best!"[[labelnote:Explanation]]Also from ''Lego Island 2''. At one point, the Infomaniac asks Pepper "Pepper, what are you doing?" to which Pepper answers with "[[ExactWords My best!]]". It became a meme due to the corny delivery of the line, the [[{{Beat}} long pause]] between the question and the answer and the fact that Pepper inexplicably loses his body while he's saying it. WebVideo/{{Caddicarus}} notably made it into a RunningGag into his review of the game.

** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNSDo__LPQU The bad ending in the first game]] [[ItsAWonderfulFailure has made kids speechless]]. Basically, poor sounding music plays, everyone is crying, and ''almost everything is destroyed''. Then we see the [[VileVillainSaccharineShow The Brickster]] with a red tint on him with ''lightning in the background'', LaughingMad.

Him [[HeelRealization immediately regretting his actions]] doesn't help, though the Infomaniac assuring the player they will fix everything does help lessen the sting.



* NightmareRetardant: While many find the bad endings of the game to be creepy, just as many fans find them to be incredibly goofy due their dramatic pans and music coming across as melodramatic (which was likely the original intention). The original ending especially tends to get a lot of laughs due to the large amount of absurd stock sound effects stacked on top of each other, apparently Lego Islanders yodel when they are in despair.



** The big [[DemBones skeleton]] on the racetrack in the first game. He knocks you back extremely far and makes your chances of winning very slim once it's happened.

Added DiffLines:

** The car racing minigame in the first game. The jerky controls of the game already make it hard to get anywhere fast on the track, but the large amount of obstacles makes it a true test of patience. The giant dancing skeleton especially is despised for its weird hit box and sending you ''far'' back if it kicks you.
