Find a Color Swapper[]
- [Upon receiving a message from Vinnie]
- Vinnie Pappalardo: Hey, Chase! You in the bank?
- Chase McCain: I'm in a sewer.
- Vinnie Pappalardo: Wow, did you take a wrong turn! Ah, I'm kiddin'... I've been readin' the instructions for the color gun.
- Chase McCain: Yeah?
- Vinnie Pappalardo: Yeah, you're gonna need to fill it from a "color swapper".
- Chase McCain: That sounds like an unusual thing to find in a sewer.
- Vinnie Pappalardo: I agree. I just have this weird feeling there'll be one down there. [He cuts the call]
Swimming in the Sewers[]
- [If the player swims on the left side]
- Chase McCain: I hope the LEGO City PD gets discounts from a dry cleaner...
- [If the player swims on the right side]
- Chase McCain: Prppf! Why couldn't I learn to swin backstroke?!
Key in the Sewers?[]
- [When grabbing the key hidden in a hatch]
- Chase McCain: I really don't want to know how this key ended up in a sewer.
- [When opening the door on the right side]
- Chase McCain: But I do want to know how come it fits this lock.
Strange Things in the Sewers[]
- [When approaching the first red panel of the level]
- Chase McCain: What a significant looking red panel that is.
- [When approaching the pipes that leak gas]
- Chase McCain: Ew! It smells like these pipes are used to carry sprouts!
Color Swapper Found[]
- [When finding the first Color Swapper of the level]
- Chase McCain: I guess that's a color swapper, then.
- [When changing the color of the Color Gun from purple to green and receiving a message from Vinnie]
- Chase McCain: The gun's got some kinda green stuff in it now.
- Vinnie Pappalardo: Great! Now if you see any electrical panels which are glowin' red, you can shoot 'em with that thing to turn 'em on.
- Chase McCain: Ooh! I saw one back there over a gate!
- Vinnie Pappalardo: Y'know, I've always wanted to see this Bell Pepper Emerald. They say it's as big as yer head. Used to belong to some royal dame, but she sold it because wearin' it as a brooch gave her back trouble. I'll be in touch. [He cuts the call]
Find another Color Swapper[]
- [Upon receiving a message from Vinnie]
- Vinnie Pappalardo: Chase! I just read some more - keep a look out for a red color swapper.
- Chase McCain: Right. Red color swapper.
- Vinnie Pappalardo: Oh, this emerald - it's meant to be the most flawless one in the world. Not like those useless lumps of crystal they get outta the Bluebell Mine. I mean, they're valuable, but this thing - whoa! [He cuts the call]
Raft in the Sewers?[]
- [When building the raft]
- Chase McCain: What?! Who tries flushing an air mattress down the toilet?!
Wrong Color Swapper[]

Another Color Swapper Found[]
- [When finding the second Color Swapper of the level and receiving a message from Vinnie]
- Chase McCain: Found that color swapper...
- Vinnie Pappalardo: Once you've filled the color gun with red, you can use it to turn off electrical stuff by shooting any green electrical panels. Ya know, this is actually kinda like the old days when I used to rob banks myself. 'cept I ain't the one who's risking his neck this time. I'll read up some more. [He cuts the call]
That Emerald Will Make Me Lucky[]
- [Upon receiving a message from Vinnie]
- Vinnie Pappalardo: Aw, I can almost taste that big ol' gemstone! The Bell Pepper Emerald is gonna make me a fortune.
- Chase McCain: You know someone that can handle the sale?
- Vinnie Pappalardo: No need! We're stealin' it to order - I've been doin' some work for a private buyer and he wants it real bad. So, don't mess up! The last guy who messed up... Aw man, that was a real shame.
- Chase McCain: What happened?
- Vinnie Pappalardo: I couldn't justify employin' him anymore so he's sleepin' with the fishes now.
- Chase McCain: What?
- Vinnie Pappalardo: Yeah, he's a night watchman at the aquarium. I'll be in touch. [He cuts the call]
Silver Color to Deflect Lasers[]
- Chase McCain: I better find the emerald and get outta here before someone catches me.
- [Upon receiving a message from Vinnie]
- Vinnie Pappalardo: Hey Chase! I've got to the really good part of the manual - you can use the color gun to turn things silver!
- Chase McCain: That kinda defeats the point of me robbing a bank, doesn't it?
- Vinnie Pappalardo: S'not real silver! But it's close enough to make stuff all shiny and reflective. Useful if there are laser beams around, capice?
- Chase McCain: Yeah, that might be handy in this place.
- Vinnie Pappalardo: Great! Just fill it with silver color if you see a swapper. And keep a look out for the Bell Pepper Emerald. Call me when you get outta the vault! [He cuts the call]
Searching for the Emerald[]
- [When opening a safe in the fourth area]
- Chase McCain: Huh. Well the emerald wasn't in there...
- [When opening a second safe in the fourth area]
- Chase McCain: Not in there, either.
- [When opening a third safe in the fourth area]
- Chase McCain: Aw, c'mon! It's almost like they don't want anyone to take the emerald!
Alarm Activated Accidentally[]
- [Chase looks at the Bell Pepper Emerald, but when he tries to grab it, he sets off an alarm that attracts two guards who emerge from a door]
- Chase McCain: Now that is a jewel!
- Phil: Whoever's in here - you are breaking the law!
- Security Police: I think they probably already know that, Phil.
- Chase McCain: I guess I'm not getting out of here undetected then...
Defeated Guards[]
- [When arresting one of the two Security Police]
- Security Police: Well this is just undignified.
Part of a Combination?[]
- [When constructing one of the two paintings with a Roman numeral]
- Chase McCain: Hmm, a number... Maybe it's part of a combination.

- [If the player approaches the statue on the balcony]

Walkthrough[]
Level Prelude[]
You access this level when you enter a sewer in Downtown after obtaining the Color Gun in Fresco. Due to the long Level Prelude, it is recommended that you watch the walkthrough on the following pages: When the Going Gets Tough..., Undercover, and All in the Family.
Level Walkthrough[]
You start in the sewers of LEGO City. You will hear a message from Vinnie about using the Color Gun. When you're done listening to it, go down the ladder, destroy a green barrel to the left of the ladder, and use the Robber suit to open a barred door. There you will find a green valve in a small room. Grab it, place it on a green mechanism, and turn it to open a hatch. You will find a key inside that hatch. Grab it, place it on a lock on the right side, and turn it to open the door next to it. In the next room, you'll see a red panel that you can't press, along with leaking gas pipes to the right. Use a small white and blue walkway to cross to the other side and you will see two Janitors attack you. Fight them and arrest them. After defeating them, use the Miner suit to destroy a pile of black rocks next to the third gas tube and pull a lever to close the tube. Use the Robber suit to open a door next to the second gas pipe and pull another lever to close the pipe. Finally, pull a lever next to the first gas tube to close the tube, clearing the path. Go to the place where you fought the two Janitors and turn a crank to reveal a color swapper with the color green. Use it to change the color of your Color Gun from purple to green and you will hear a message from Vinnie, telling you that you can use your Color Gun to turn any red panel to green. Return to the vicinity of the door and use the Color Gun to change the color of the electrical panel from red to green (you'll need to target it by holding down the attack button). This will open a door leading to a small room with a box. Grab the box and take it to the green pad on the other side. Use the white and blue pieces from the box to rebuild a white and blue wall and climb up it. Grab onto a handhold, move to the platform on the right, and use the Robber suit to open a door that will take you to the next area.
In the next area, you will hear another message from Vinnie, telling you to go find a color swapper with the color red. Get off the platform, then go down the stairs and fight and arrest two Janitors below you. After defeating those two Janitors, go up the stairs and destroy a green barrel to reveal a question mark scanner symbol. Use the Undercover suit on it to find a hidden safe, where you will find a dynamite. Grab it with the Miner suit and place it in a barrel next to a silver pipe to the north. Move away from the dynamite and it will explode, destroying the silver tube and revealing pink pieces. Use them to build a raft in the water. Get on the raft and follow the path of studs to cross the chemicals that are on the right side of the water. Exit the raft when you reach the ledge on the right side, go up the stairs, and fight and arrest a Janitor who is waiting for you. After defeating the Janitor, go left, slide under some bars and use the Robber suit to open a barred door. Behind that door, you will find a green valve. Grab it, go back to the right, place the valve on a green mechanism and turn it to reveal a stream of water. Use it to reach the upper floor and destroy a pile of black rocks with the Miner suit to reveal a green panel. Since your Color Gun is still green, go left and destroy a red barrel next to a silver barred door to reveal dynamite. Use the Miner suit to grab it and place it in a barrel next to the silver barred door. Move away from the dynamite and it will explode, destroying the silver-barred door and revealing a red-colored sweeper. You will receive another message from Vinnie, telling you that you can use the color red to change any green panel to red. Use the newly revealed color swapper to change the color of your Color Gun from green to red and go back to the right. Use your Color Gun to change the color of the electrical panel from green to red. This will lower a platform to the right. Move along some white and blue drain pipes to reach the ledge on the right and climb a ladder to reach the next area.
In the next area, destroy three brown boxes on the right side to build a gray box on the chess floor. Push the gray box a little to the left and use the Undercover suit to remove a grate. Jump to the walkway above and you'll find a dynamite between three cones to the right. Grab it with the Miner suit and place it in a barrel along with some silver objects in the upper right corner. Move away from the dynamite and it will explode, destroying the silver objects. Use the Robber suit to open the grate of a ventilation shaft that will take you to the next area.
In the next area, use the Robber suit to open the first safe on the right side and reveal some bricks. Suddenly, you'll hear a message from Vinnie, telling you that you can change the color of things to silver to deflect lasers. Use the newly received bricks to build a color swapper with the color silver. Use it to change the color of your Color Gun from red to silver and shoot the object in the middle to change its color from light brown to silver. Push it towards the laser beam ahead, which will cause the laser to deflect forward. Go around the right side and use the Undercover suit to pull a similar object on the left, which will cause it to move to the right and deflect the laser beam to the left. The laser beam will burn a gold box to destruction, revealing a toolbox and also disabling the laser beam. Grab the toolbox and place it on a green pad in the upper right corner to build a color swapper with the color blue. Use the newly built color swapper to change the color of your Color Gun from silver to blue and shoot the white wall in the upper left corner to change its color from white to blue and white. Climb that wall to reach the upper floor and use a computer to open the bars on the right, revealing a safe. Use the Robber suit to open it and reveal some bricks. Use them to build another color swapper with the color green. Use it to change the color of your Color Gun from blue to green and shoot the red panel on the left to change it to green and open three bars with valves. Grab the first green valve, place it on the first green mechanism and turn it until you see a green light above the large valve. Repeat this with the other two valves and when the three lights above the valves are green, the safe with the Bell Pepper Emerald will open. Go back to the lower floor and go to the Bell Pepper Emerald. You'll see a cutscene where Chase goes to grab it, but before he can grab it, he accidentally sets off an alarm that attracts two guards, who emerge from a door on the upper floor. Climb back up the blue and white wall on the left to return to the upper floor, and fight and arrest the two guards attacking you. Once both are defeated, go through the door where they came out to reach the final area.
In the final area, you will see three security guards who will attack you. Fight them and arrest them. After defeating them, go to the center of the area to find a Super Build, which will ask you for 30,000 bricks to build a Relocator. If you don't have the necessary bricks, go look for Super Bricks. First, use the Undercover suit to knock down two paintings in the upper left corner and rebuild them, this time with Roman numerals. The green painting will have a number seven (VII), while the blue painting will have a number three (III). Then, go left and you will see a red tapestry with the number ten in Roman (X). On the left wall, you will see three machines with Roman numerals, which you can turn by turning one of the three green valves. Make them fit in this order: X, III, VII. As you do this, the small green valve door in the middle will open, revealing a key. Grab the key, place it in a lock in the upper left corner, and turn it to open the door next to it. Go through that door to reach a room where you will find a large Super Brick and a dynamite vending machine. Grab the large Super Brick to get 10,000 bricks and use the Miner suit on the dynamite vending machine to reveal a dynamite. Grab the dynamite and place it in a barrel next to a golden statue in the upper right corner. Move away from the dynamite and it will explode, destroying the golden statue and causing the large ball to roll until it crashes into a wall protecting a reception. Head towards the newly opened reception and you will find two safes. Use the Robber suit to open them and find two large Super Bricks, increasing your bricks to 20,000. With those three Super Bricks obtained, you should have over 30,000 bricks. Go to the multicolored pad and use the 30,000 bricks to build the Relocator. Chase will automatically get on it and the level will end.

Trivia[]
- It is possible that the squirrel seen in the opening scene of this level is the same one that Duke Huckleberry has. However, it is not confirmed yet.
- In the remastered version, in the final cutscene of this level, there are no stopwatch sounds as Verne waits to rob the bank. This was possibly an oversight.
