''LEGO Island'' is a trilogy of video games based upon {{LEGO}}, the first title of which was the first of many video games to be based upon the LEGO licence. The main character is Pepper [[JustForPun Roni]], a pizza delivery boy who manages to get mixed up in all sorts of off-the-wall shenanigans because of The Brickster, a criminal mastermind who loves anchovies and hot peppers.

The first game is the most "realistic": The player, as one of five different characters, goes around delivering pizzas, participating in races, and playing the occasional minigame. Woe to he who chooses the "Pizza/Brickster" combination assignment, though... Aside from the main plot with Pepper, the player can also control the police officers, Nick and Laura Brick, and Pepper's employers/adoptive parents Mama and Papa Brickolini.

The second game is more outlandish. Once again, you unwittingly allow the Brickster to escape, and he scatters pages of the Constructopedia across several islands. You have to travel through these islands, including [[LEGOCastle Castle Island]] and [[LEGOAdventurers Adventurers' Island]], and track down both Brickster and the pages. Pepper is the only playable character, but gameplay is more [[GameplayRoulette "varied"]].

In the third game, ''Island {{Xtreme|KoolLetterz}} Stunts'', Pepper is starring in a movie where the Brickster is the villain and the Infomaniac gets kidnapped. For the first time, the game was released alongside a wave of actual LEGO sets based upon its characters, vehicles and locations.

!!These games provide examples of:

* AdaptationExplanationExtrication: The FishingMinigame was removed in the PS1 version of ''LEGO Island 2'', but even so, the pond at the end of Desert Speedster is still intact, and Pepper still tells Johnny, Miss Reed and Dr. Kilroy he caught a big fish.
* AdvancingWallOfDoom: There is a boulder at the end of Matching Mummies in the second game.
* AlienSky: The top of the information center in the first game allowed you to change the color of the sky from day to night... to green and purple.
* AllThereInTheManual: A bonus comic that came along with the first game explained the backstory behind LEGO Island, the Infomaniac, and the Brickster. It even mentions the Brickster going off on his own and making Ogel Island, which doesn't actually appear until ''LEGO Island 2''.
* AlternateContinuity: Each port of ''LEGO Island 2'' had a different story then the other versions. While the PS1 and PC versions had somewhat similar stories, the GBA and GBC versions had completely different plots, leaving it questionable which one of the three story variations is canon.
* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: The manual for the first LEGO Island features a WantedPoster for the Brickster. He is wanted for "Felony deconstruction, misdemeanor bad jokes, stealing bricks and worst of all: insulting Mama."
* ArtifactOfDoom: The constructopedia in the second game, a book that somehow holds the island together.
* ArtificialStupidity: The police in the final stage of the Brickster chase in the first game will often ignore [[DonutMessWithACop donuts]], or the Brickster himself, or [[BreadEggsBreadedEggs the Brickster]] [[GoodBadBugs trying (and failing) to drive through a donut]].
* BigEater: The first game has a lot of these: for plastic minifigures, there are some big eaters on this island.
** A customer at the pizzeria tells another customer that he plans on eating "ten more pizzas."
** In the climactic level of the Brickster arc, you need to shoot pizzas at the Brickster and [[DonutMessWithACop doughnuts at Officer Nick and Officer Lora.]] The Brickster will stop and eat the pizzas, slowing him down. Nick and Lora go faster when they're fed doughnuts.
** An Easter Egg in the police station: If you click on the box of doughnuts, two cops will rush towards the box and wolf down several doughnuts at once and then leave with a doughnut in each hand.
** The choking patron at the pizzeria. Who swallowed an ''entire live shark whole!''
-->'''Pappa:''' I kept telling him: ''Chew! Chew!''
* BiggerOnTheInside: Just about every single building in the original, but the most [[{{Egregious}} egregious]] example is the jetski building by the beach.
* BuiltWithLEGO: Surpsingly only halfway -- only the buildings, plants, and the people are made of LEGO. The island itself and the roads are mostly realistic looking.
* CatchPhrase: Pepper: "Way cool!"
* CardCarryingVillain: The Brickster.
* ChronicHeroSyndrome: The player (in the first game), regardless of which character they're playing. Need a pizza delivered? No problem! Short on ambulance drivers? Consider it done!
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Quite a few characters have had this such as Captain D. Rom and Captain Click.
* ComplainingAboutThingsYouHaventPaidFor:
** After the Brickster escapes from jail in the second game:
--> '''Brickster:''' See you later, brickulator.
--> '''Pepper:''' Hey! Wait! [[ComicallyMissingThePoint You didn't pay for your pizza!]]
** This gets referenced again later on:
--> '''Brickster:''' Mama and Papa are now my personal chefs.
--> '''Pepper:''' You still owe me for that last pizza.
* ConsolationPrize: In the first game if you place third ([[EpicFail out of third]]) in the race car or jetski race you are rewarded with a yellow brick. The Infomaniac will also happily congratulate you despite coming in last place.
* CrazyPrepared: The hospital employees that fill the ambulance in the first game, to the point where they keep a shark in there.
* {{Crossover}}: ''LEGO Island 2'' features characters and locations from [[LEGOCastle Knights' Kingdom]] and LEGOAdventurers, as well as [[RockRaiders Rock Monsters and Slimy Slugs]].
** ''Island Xtreme Stunts'' features the cast of the LEGOStudios line.
* DemBones: ''LEGO Island'' is filled with skeletons and ghosts.
* DevelopersRoom: ''LEGO Island 2'' had one of these in the form of a cheat. Once you beat the game, go to the secret cave on the other side of the mountain, type "sdreams" and a portal will open. When you enter it, you'll end up in a room with a bunch of minifigures, and talking to them shows a developer name at the bottom.
* DisappearedDad: Pepper's father in the first game, Bologna Roni, was an explorer that vanished.
* DonutMessWithACop
* DummiedOut:
** ''LEGO Island 1'': The instruction manual claims that scoring red blocks in every minigame unlocks another set of missions, like a challenge mode. Although the Information Center appears to include a few remnants of the GUI for this, the feature no longer exists.
** ''LEGO Island 2'': A small tomb-like area near a pyramid was removed from the game, but all the developers did was block off the entrance. It's still possible to get inside with a game modification.
** In the GameBoyAdvance version of ''LEGO Island 2'', there is a girl who is complaining that she lost her towel but she thinks she sees it "in the bushes". Pepper responds to her by saying that he'll go look for it. There's a small hedge maze of bushes nearby, but there's no towel anywhere.
* EenieMeenieMinyMoai: A few statues resembling the famed Moai heads are found on Adventurers' Island, as seen in the "T-Rex Racing" minigame.
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: [[CaptainObvious It's an island made of LEGO.]]
* FishingMinigame: ''LEGO Island 2''.
* FunnyForeigner: Papa Brickolini
* GameBreakingBug:
** In ''LEGO Island 2'', the pterodactyl is unlocked in the jungle part of Adventure Island. If you use the pterodactyl to fly to the ''desert'' part of the island, though, it respawns itself in the jungle... and leaves you trapped with no way home.
** In the GameBoyAdvance version, Space Mountain can't be entered after you beat the game. If you get off of the train after defeating the Brickster, you will be stuck there.
** Some re-releases of ''Xtreme Stunts'' (namely the ones from Encore) have a glitch on them, where if you overwrite a save file too many times, it gets corrupted.
* GeographicFlexibility: It seems like the developers were unable to make up their minds regarding the design of the island from game to game. More specifically, ''LEGO Island 2'' does use the same basic design, but very modified and another island attached to it. Some things were moved around a bit, but everything was in the same general location. ''Island Xtreme Stunts'', on the other hand, completely disregarded the design of the island altogether, and the whole thing was made from scratch. The handheld iterations aren't much more faithful in terms of geography.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: Apparently Papa Brickolini thinks he can sing but really can't. Which prompts Pepper to say this to the player:
--> '''Pepper:''' I nearly split a brick when he hits that note!
** The Brickster has some pretty [[GallowsHumor dark humor]].
--> '''The Brickster:''' I hear they're going to give me the chair. Maybe even a lovely matching table!
** When Mrs. Pollywanna the parrot thinks Mr. Pollywanna is cheating on her.
--> '''Mr. Pollywanna:''' Polly want a piece of pizza!
--> '''Mrs. Pollywanna:''' Who's Polly? You're seein' someone else, aren't ya?
** In ''LEGO Island 2'', Cedric the Bull steals a page of the Constructopedia. The Infomaniac tells Pepper this, but he says it rather awkwardly.
--> '''The Infomaniac:''' No bull! It's at the Bulls' castle!
* GuideDangIt: The FishingMinigame in ''LEGO Island 2'' is rather poorly explained and extremely boring. Learning how to play it becomes a tedious process of trial-and-error, unless you take a quick look on the internet.
* HandWave: ''LEGO Island 2's'' manual tried to justify the GeographicFlexibility by stating that the island underwent several changes and was rebuilt since the Brickster's last arrest.
* HelloInsertNameHere: When you beat the Brickster arc the Infomaniac will address you in a speech this way.
-->'''Infomaniac''': I'd like to congratulate "your name here"...
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Pepper's primary attack in ''LEGO Island 2'' is pizza throwing, and it's deadly.
* ItsAWonderfulFailure: What happens if you lose the Pizza/Brickster mission in the first game. The Brickster rules the island and takes everything apart. Quite scary for many a young player, despite the fact that the Infomaniac says it's ok and that they can rebuild the island.
* LiteralMinded: When Mama Brickolini is asked what brought her to LEGO Island, she replies, "The boat, silly."
* LIsForDyslexia: Pepper might be this in the first game. Characters mention Pepper's poor spelling and reading skills. Pepper himself admits it as well. There is also a sign next to The Brickster's jail cell that reads NO PIZZA unless the player is playing as Pepper, then it reads NO PIZAZ.
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters
* LoadsAndLoadsOfLoading: ''LEGO Island 2''.
** The explanation behind this is that, if you extract the files using a [[http://www.rockraidersunited.org/index.php?/topic/1305-lego-island-2-discussion/page__st__22 fan made explorer by Legomoe,]] you'll discover that a lot of files are put in the wrong places and unorganized. So, it'll often load things that don't even need to be loaded.
* LostInTranslation: In the German version of the original game, Mama is asked why she came to LEGO Island rather than what brought her there. Her reply is still the same, so the joke makes little sense now.
* MiniGame: In all three games.
* MissingSecret:
** The red mountain car in some of the official screenshots that nevertheless never appeared in the first game.
** The locked door in the pirate's cave can't be opened, to the chagrin of many children. This was ''supposed'' to open to something, as were many of the buildings being "remodeled". It was also a teaser for the only other game in the six part series to be named. It was supposed to be called ''Beneath the Phanta Sea''. This was the only other game that had stuff planned out for it before the whole six-part series concept was axed.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Mr. Hates in ''LEGO Island 2'' (who is similarly named Sam Sinister in some of the "Adventurers" LEGO sets).
* NiceJobBreakingItHero:
** You accidentally break Brickster out of the jail in the first game by delivering him a pizza that smells so powerful that the fumes pick the lock. In ''LEGO Island 2'', you accidentally break him out of jail again by delivering him a pizza that's so spicy he gains fire breath and melts the door down.
* NoNameGiven: The first game was ''full'' of these types of characters, with the credits being the only source of their names. Several examples are Polly Gone, Shiney Dorris, Glen and Dorothy Funberg, and Gideon Worse.
* NoKnees: Naturally, since all the characters are LEGO minfigs. The Brickolinis [[LampshadeHanging lampshade]] it at one point.
-->''"I have a bad feeling about this, I can feel it in my knees!"''
-->''"Papa, you are just imagining things!"''
-->''"Imagining knees? ... You're probably right." *throws leg into ocean*''
* NoPlotNoProblem:
** The main purpose of the first game was just to explore the island, build things, drive vehicles, perform missions and tasks, interact with people, and [[RuleofFun have fun.]]
** The Brickster mission is a relatively longer mission and can be considered the plot of the game, though doing this mission is not required in order to play any other parts of the game.
* ObviousBeta: The second game lost a lot of dedicated people in its development, and the non-dedicated just wanted to ship the game and be done with it.
* PassThroughTheRings:
** In the second game, there are two parachuting levels where Pepper must fall through rings and land on a target.
** In the third game, instead of being able to drive anything like before, Pepper must earn licenses. He does this by taking a vehicle through a set of rings within a certain time period.
* PoliceAreUseless: In both the first and second games when the Brickster escapes and it ends up being up to ''a kid'' to stop him. Okay, in the first game, the police at least ''try'' to stop him and simply enlist Pepper's help, but in the second game the police literally do ''nothing''- as soon as trouble starts everyone is relying on Pepper instead of... you know... the people whose ''job'' it is to stop this kind of thing. The most they ever do is let Pepper fly the police helicopter (which the game already lets you take whenever you want anyway).
* PunnyName: Pepper Roni, Rhoda Hogg (a race car driver), Buck Pounds (a banker), Bill Ding (a builder), Red Greenbase (a man with a red shirt and green pants), Jack O'Trades (a storekeeper), Rob Banks, Captain D. Rom (a pun on CD-ROM), Ed Mail (a pun on email), Mac Roni (Pepper's grandfather) -- the list goes on. Essentially all the characters names are a pun of some kind, mostly about LEGO or computers.
* Really700YearsOld: The Infomaniac says he was on the Island for "A zillion years".
* RuleOfFun
* StopHelpingMe: [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by the Infomaniac in the first game. He'll follow up some of his [[CaptainObvious more obvious]] hints with...
-->'''Infomaniac''': "''Duh''! Like you didn't know that! What was I thinking?"
-->'''Infomaniac''': "But you probably already knew that. In fact, I ''know'' you do! So why am I telling you?
* StoppedNumberingSequels: The third game (''Island Xtreme Stunts'') is unnumbered.
* SugarApocalypse: LEGO Island is a peaceful society, where everyone is happy and the biggest problems involve not having someone to deliver pizza... up until The Brickster starts wreaking havoc.
* {{Transplant}}: Super Station Master from ''LEGO Loco'' in ''LEGO Island 2''.
* TotallyRadical: Most of Pepper's dialogue.
* TooDumbToLive: In the second game, The Brickster was nice enough to put a jail cell ''on the roof of his own palace''. He's finally defeated when he's tricked into running into it and locking himself inside.
* UniversalDriversLicense: Pepper seems to be able to pilot anything he comes across without any training, up until ''Xtreme Stunts''; you need licenses to drive vehicles (outside of the film sets), and there are (separate) tests for cars, (boats, and air vehicles). This also had to be done in the GBA version of ''LEGO Island 2''; in order to drive a vehicle (any vehicle, including police cars and the ambulance), you have to complete a driving test.
* VerbThis: In the ambulance chase level in the first game.
--> '''Brickster''': Hey Pepper! *throws helicopter part* Deliver this!
* VictoryIsBoring: The "bad" ending of the first game.
--> '''Brickster''': It's mine! All mine! Hahaha! All mine! ...Mine?
** If you listen hard enough, you can even hear him ''cry'' a little.
*** You'd think he'd learn his lesson.
* VideoGameCrueltyPotential:
** In ''LEGO Island 2'' and ''Xtreme Stunts'', you can attack civilians as well as bad guys. The result's hilarious, but still...
** In the first game, it can be rather amusing to ram into people and watch them explode and rebuild in front of you.
* TheVoice: Several radio announcers and Captain Click.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse:
** In the ending FMV of ''LEGO Island 2'', a girl randomly walks up and kisses Pepper and dances with him. She was never seen anywhere else in the series, and nothing is known about why she was there in the first place.
** Many characters from all the games.
* WhoNamesTheirKidDude: "Pepper. ''Pepper.'' What kind of a name is 'Pepper', anyway? What, are you from the condiment family? Where's your brother Salt, or your sister Ketchup? Or your exotic Hungarian uncle Paprika? I bet ''he'' spices up the dinner conversation, don't he?"
