* KickTheSonOfABitch: Rather than help Zuko like Aang and Haru were willing to do, Sokka wanted to leave him stranded in the Fortress. Given [[UngratefulBastard Zuko's response to being helped]], Sokka probably had the right idea.

Haru has appeared in the first season and he later returns in the third season for the invasion of the Fire Nation


* CanonForeigner: The inventor Lian and the earthbender Haru were created for the game and never appear in the cartoon.

A few months after the Fire Nation's attack on the Northern Water Tribe, Aang and his friends continue their journey to help Aang master the remaining two elements. Along the way, they discover a series of machines being made with specific elements in mind. Who is creating these machines and why?

why? The Windows version, rather than follow the same story as the other versions of the game, simply adapted the events of the show's first season.

Added DiffLines:

* SparedByTheAdaptation: While other versions end with Lian [[HoistByHerOwnPetard crushed by her own machine]], she is still alive in the PSP and DS versions, while the Game Boy Advance version [[UncertainDoom leaves her fate ambiguous]].

The game was successful enough for adaptations of the next two seasons of ''Avatar'' to be developed into two games: ''VideoGame/AvatarTheLastAirbenderTheBurningEarth'' and ''VideoGame/AvatarTheLastAirbenderIntoTheInferno''

* ExtranormalPrison: The first part of the Maker's lair is filled with cages and traps meant to contain benders. Waterbenders are kept on rocks floating on lava streams hot enough to evaporate water, earthbenders are kept in floating cages floating high above the ground, and firebenders are separated from everyone else by a massive river.

* ExtranormalPrison: The first part of the Maker's lair is filled with cages and traps meant to contain benders. Waterbenders are kept on rocks floating on lava streams hot enough to evaporate water, earthbenders are kept in floating massive steel cages floating high above the ground, with no stone in sight, and firebenders are separated from everyone else by a massive river.


Added DiffLines:

* OptionalStealth: The game has a sneak mechanic where the characters start to tip-toe and don't aggro enemies unless they're close to them and in their line of sight for a while. This is useful for moving past high level enemies and a few sections where guards are keeping you out of forbidden areas, but for the most part, you can just get through the game by beating everyone up.


Added DiffLines:

* ShockAndAwe: In a nod to Book 2, a couple late game firebenders are able to shoot lightning out of their hands for massive damage.

** The Tempest machine flies through the air and shoots gusts of winds to attack anyone bold enough to approach it.

** The Tempest machine flies through the air and shoots gusts of winds to attack anyone bold enough to approach it. It, appropriately enough, starts to appear around the Air Temple, apparently based on old Air Nomad technology.



* DishingOutDirt: The Stomper is like an Earthbender.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The art-style does not resemble the one in future games. It's much more cartoony.

* DishingOutDirt: The Stomper is like a machine that crashes into the ground to create shockwaves of dirt and rock. In doing so, it replicates the powers of an Earthbender.
Earthbender through pure technology.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: DoomedHometown: The gang's temporary home in the Water Tribe is of course doomed to be attacked (again) and largely destroyed by the Fire Nation. Buildings you've seen are scorched, statues have been toppled over, and huge boulders litter the street after their attack, but worst of all, Katara is missing, forcing Aang and Sokka to leave the comforts of the city.
* DoubleWeapon: The Fire Nation Warden wields a staff with flames protruding from both sides, allowing him to use either one as a source for his firebending attacks.

* EasingIntoTheAdventure: The game starts you in the safe, welcoming city of the Northern Water Tribe, where the sidequests are all about helping old ladies find supplies and the main mission is just to find a student who went off-track. The enemies aren't murderous soldiers or deadly machines, just some wild dogs that go down in a few hits.



* EleventhHourSuperpower: For the second phase of the final boss, you can control Aang in the Avatar State and finally use elements besides air.



* ExtranormalPrison: The first part of the Maker's lair is filled with cages and traps meant to contain benders. Waterbenders are kept on rocks floating on lava streams hot enough to evaporate water, earthbenders are kept in floating cages floating high above the ground, and firebenders are separated from everyone else by a massive river.
* EyepatchOfPower: The second boss sports an eyepatch that distinguishes him from other firebenders. Alongside his short grey hair, it gives him an air of experience in combat that goes well with his firebending superiority.

Yes, different responsible for creating a host of machines kidnapping and replacing benders. [[spoiler:Yes, the Fire Nation forced her to make machines for them. However, they interfered with her plan to end the war her own way.]]



* ThePigPen: The two short soldiers you have to steal uniforms from only change out of them because they are comically smelly and their commander orders them to take a long, long shower.
* PlayingWithFire: Fire is the only element no player character can use, but it's still represented through the many enemies who shoot fire throughout the game and even the game's first boss, a massive machine that shoots lines of fire from its central engine.
* PlotTailoredToTheParty: Clearing obstacles to progress through the game often requires character-exclusive abilities that one of the characters in your party will have at the time. Don't expect to find any obstructions earthbending could clear before getting Haru and be surprised when throwing a boomerang turns out to be helpful as often as controlling the very air we breathe.



* SequelHook: The game ends by cutting to Zuko emerging from a river, still fuming from his near encounter with the Avatar, ready to hunt them again.



* TakingTheBullet: Katara manages to shield Aang before [[spoiler:Lian’s machine]] can get a hit on him.

* TakingTheBullet: Katara manages to shield Aang before [[spoiler:Lian’s machine]] the final boss can get a hit on him.him, but seriously wounds herself in the process. This causes Aang to go berserk.


Added DiffLines:

* VillainExitStageLeft: While the gang is busy fighting off the Fire Nation warden, Lian busts out of her cage and escapes before the gang can question her about her rampant machines.


Added DiffLines:

* WackySoundEffect: The game's cutscenes are filled with cartoony sound effects that punctuate whenever characters jump, get hurt, or do something wacky. This happens within seconds of the game's first cutscenes, as a separate effect plays each time Aang skips as he's walking away from Appa towards the Water Tribe.

** During the sixth level, Aang and his friends stop at an Air Temple inhabited by non-Air Nomadic residents. According to the map, this is the Southern Air Temple, which was previously shown to be vacant in the first season.



** Aang and his friends encounter someone called the Maker who is being forced to make machines for the Fire Nation. [[spoiler:Subverted as Lian is the real Big Bad, and was kept as a prisoner for her crimes.]]
