1. INTRODUCTION

Hello, and thank you for taking the time to view this guide. This FAQ is for
Lego Bionicle, also referred to as Bionicle: Tales of the Tohunga. This guide
is not a complete Walkthrough for Bionicle: Tales of the Tonunga. Rather, it
is an in-depth guide specifically for the purpose of explaining the mini-games
with great detail.

Enjoy the read!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. VERSION HISTORY

0.19 - The first version of this guide. Using 0.19 as the version number had
no specific purpose when I first wrote this in-depth guide; 19 was
simply my favorite number, thus the version 0.19 came into being. This
was basically the first and last version of the Walkthrough.
Size: 14.1 KB

0.2 - A second version was created to tidy up any loose-ends in the
Walkthrough. This was for the purpose of showing colleges my work during
the college application process. The introduction was completely re-
done, section 2, previously titled "Additional Dates/Timeline" was
removed, and replaced with the Version History, and the pixel art at
the end of the Walkthrough was removed. Sections 11 and 12, titled
"Closing" and "Credits," respectively, were merged. Section 12,
"Copyright Information" and Section 13, "Contact Info" were added.
"Copyright Information" replaced the previous "Legal Mumbo Jumbo" found
at the end of the Walkthrough, and the methods of which to contact me
were added in Section 13.

Dig=Control Pad

the first, except the bomb has a wider range than with just one of the two.

except the bomb has a wider range then with one of the two.
Tan=Water Bomb - If used, you will place an extra rock behind you. Same as

Object of the game:

Win by collecting all 8 power-ups!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. BOAT RACE

Mini-Game Region:
Ga-Koro

Controls:
L+R=Move
R=Right
L=Left
A+B=Reverse/Backwards

How to Play:

To play this mini-game, row your boat past the finish line. This is simply
like a race in the water.

Extras:

Stage obstacles/Helpful tools

Obstacles:
Bridges - Block your path
Backwards Currents - Slow you down

Helpful tools:
Currents - Accelerate your boat

Object of the game:

Also like in a race, be the first to cross the finish line, and you win!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

5. KOLI FOOTBALL

Mini-Game Region:
Po-Koro

Controls:
Control Pad=Move
A=Kick Forward
A=Attack/Stun Other Players In Front
B=Kick Backwards
B=Attack/Stun Other Players In Back

How To Play:
This mini-game, like the Boat Race, is similar to our activities. Instead of
racing, however, this game is similar to soccer, or football in certain
countries. Just kick the ball into your opponnent's goals. You can also
knock down other players momentarily by simply kicking them or kicking a
boulder at them. When scoring into an opponent's goal, you gain one point.
However, if you opponent scores a goal on you, you lose one point. Therefore,
be sure that you attack your opponents, and defend your goal at the same time.

Extras:

Pillars - There are three in front of every goal. By knocking these down,
more boulders/balls appear. Be sure to knock these down to get to your
opponent's goal.

object of the game:
To win, you must have the most goals by the end of the round.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

6. KEWA BIRD RIDING

Mini-Game Region:
Le-Koro

Controls:
Control Pad=Move
A=Fly Upward
B=Fire
L=Shoot Launcher

How to Play:
Sorry to say this, but this game isn't based on a real activity. It wouldn't
be safe to be a real activity anyways, because in this game, you ride on a
bird! To play this game, you have to knock the other riders off their birds.
You can press either the A button to shoot a berry at them, or take out
multiple hearts by ramming into them with your launcher. Be careful, however,
Because you only have five hearts. If you lose them all, it's game over for
you.

Extras:

Trick Bird - When a rider falls off his bird, he/she will fall off the screen.
The bird, however, will stay in the sky. Don't attempt to attack the bird,
even though it's still in flight. The bird will continue to fly sideways
until it disappears behind the wall of trees.

Four More Players - In the other mini-games, there were only four players,
correct? Well, in this mini-game, there are EIGHT players. That's right.
There are four extra players included in this game: orange, aquamarine, grey,
and purple.

Object of the game:
To win this mini-game, be the last player left on your bird!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

7. SNOWBALL FIGHT

Mini-Game Region:
Ko-Koro

Controls:
Control Pad=Turn
L+R=Fire Snowballs

How to play:

Alright, finally another real-like activity! Time for an old-school snowball
fight! Fire your snowballs at your opponents using the L and R buttons. The
control pad is only used to turn in this mini-game. You will move in the
opposite direction that you are firing your snowballs. When hit, you will
begin to see snow forming around your body. This isn't a good thing, so
avoid your opponent's shots!

Extras:

Rocks - If you haven't noticed already, there are rocks on the field. These
are useful in two different ways. If you run into it with your back, you can
fire your snowballs WITHOUT moving backwards! The rocks can also be used for
cover, so be sure to use these whenever you can.

Object of the game:
To win, turn your opponents into snowballs!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8. LAVA SURFING

Mini-Game Region:
Ta-Koro

Controls:
Control Pad=Move
A+B=Accelerate

How to play:

Like the Boat Race mini-game, this one is also racing. However, there is a
catch. You're actually surfing on lava! Get as fast as possible to the
finish line, while avoiding obstacles and other opponents. If you hit them,
you go out of control, so be careful!

Extras:

Rocks - If you look throughout the mini-game, you notice little things that
look like black holes in the ground. These are pieces of molten rock, or
rock for short. If you run into them, you'll spin out of control. They take
up most of the path, so be sure to avoid them as best as you can.

Sharp Corners - During some areas of the course, you'll notice that there are
two different paths you can take. You can pick either of them. However, I
discovered a glitch. If you run into the corners at a a high enough speed,
you'll seperate in half, and try to go both ways at the same time! If this
happens, you can't move anymore, so be sure not to do this!

Object of the game:
Like the Boat Race mini-game, be the first to cross the finish line.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

9. UNLOCKING THE MINIGAMES

Unlocking the mini-games is actually quite simple. To unlock each of the
mini-games, do the following.

USSAL CRAB RACE:

Retreive the Toa Stone, and talk to the guy past the cave. One you show it
to him, he'll let you pass. Continue northwest, and talk to another guy
there. He'll make you play the Ussal Crab Race, therefore unlocking the
mini-game.

BOAT RACE:

After you play the Ussal Crab Race, continue along the path. After passing
all the enemies, talk to the guy blocking the bridge to Ga-Koro. After
talking to him, he'll make you play the Boat Race mini-game, which also
will unlock it.

KOLI FOOTBALL:

After defeating the Scorpion, you'll *poof* back to the village. Someone
will now tell you that you are able to journey on to the next village.
Continue northwest, and talk to the guy who is blocking your path again. You
will now play Koli Football, and now you be able to access this mini-game in
the mini-game section on the homepage.

KEWA BIRD RIDING:

This one is unlocked almost right after the Koli Football mini-game! After
the guy moves, enter Le-Koro. Use the launcher to jump the gap, and talk to
the guy over there. When he finishes talking, continue up, and hide behind
the large rock. A bird will come towards you. Hit the rider off the bird
with your launcher, and hop on the bird. You will now play the Kewa Bird
Riding mini-game, and also unlock it.

SNOWBALL FIGHT:

After you retrieve the fourth Toa Stone, head to the village, and you'll be
able to continue your journey. Begin to go northeast, only to be stopped
again, and play another minigame. The mini-game you play this time will be
the Snowball Fight, which will be unlocked after you play it.

LAVA SURFING:

When you enter Ta-Koro, you'll be stopped by guards. Go into the house on
your right (because that's the only place you can go) and talk to the guy
with the red staff. He then offers to help you find the final Toa Stone,
but only if you help him find the antidote to purify the wells. Get the
lavaboard to your right, and read the sign. After reading it, you'll play
and unlock the final stage.
