** LEGO Interactive producer Dave Upchurch revealed some interesting background on ''LEGO Island 2'' on his [[http://dupchurch.com/?portfolio=lego-island-2-various website]], including a tie-in TV show and a ''Videogame/SuperMario64''-esque platformer as potential elements of what ultimately became the game.

* NamesTheSame: OGEL Island, often referred to as simply "OGEL" in ''LEGO Island 2'', has no relation to [[Franchise/LEGOAlphaTeam Ogel Island]] (or Evil Ogel, for that matter) or to Planet Ogel from the ''Captain Indigo'' comics.

* TheOtherDarrin: Across the three games of the series, not a single character retains his or her voice actor from one game to the next. It's particularly jarring for fans of the first game, since that game had trained professional voice actors including Creator/JuneForay and David L. Lander... and they were all replaced by very generic and unprofessional voices for the sequels. ''Island Xtreme Stunts'' didn't even bother with casting voice actors who sounded anything like the original cast.

* NamesTheSame: Unusual for a LEGO game.
