LEGO Island 2: The Brickster's Revenge was released by Silicon Dreams Studio and developed by Lego Software after Mindscape laid off all the workers from the first LEGO Island game.
It was released on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation, Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance in 2001. Unlike the first game, this one is a third person platformer where only Pepper Roni is playable, the island has a much different layout than before and the player can visit three other locations in order to find pieces of the Constructopedia.
Plot[]
After saving the island in the first game, the citizens of Lego Island are now rewarding Pepper with bricks to build his new house after delivering them pizzas. As soon as Pepper's house is built, he still has one more delivery to The Brickster. As it was a super spicy pizza's fumes that broke him out last time, Mama and Papa made sure that any pizzas going to the criminal only contain a single chili.
As soon as Pepper delivers the pizza, The Brickster reveals he's been saving the chilis from each pizza to create his patent "Brickster dragon breath" and lets out a massive fiery burp that melts the lock, enabling him to escape on the police helicopter once again. This time he sneaks into the information center to steal a book known as the Constructopedia and rips out its pages to destroy all of the island's buildings. The Brickster then flees to his own island, OGEL and sends his Brickster-Bots to mess with the citizens.
The island in this game, the layout is much different than the first LEGO Island and is bigger
Pepper is now tasked with retrieving the missing pages of the book to rebuild the island and throw pizzas at the Brickster-Bots to destroy them. During his adventure he is sent to Castle Island where he rebuilds a bridge that kept the Lions and the Bulls from the classic Castle theme from battling each other. Pepper then discovers that Cedric the Bull has a Constructopedia page with him, but won't hand it over until he retrieves the Bull's flag from the Lion's castle. As such Pepper must joust the Lion's Dark Knight to claim the flag back, and then bombard Cedric after he refuses to give up the page.
After dealing with Cedric and recovering more pages from the Constructopiedia, he's then tasked with going to Adventure Island and retrieving pages from there.
Pepper meets up with the Adventurer's, Johnny Thunder and Pippin Reed who are off to a Sphinx. The pizza delivery boy is tasked with shooting at snakes as the Adventurers drive, the three meet up with Dr. Charles Kilroy who offers them a ride to the oasis where another page is hidden in a tomb. A second page is found after Pepper catches a giant fish named Big Bertha, the third is kept at Sam Sinister's (Or Mr. Hates as the game calls him) camp full of captured dinosaurs.
Pepper must fly a biplane from the oasis to the jungles and then ride on a T-rex in order to save the dinosaurs and reclaim the page from Sam. Once all three Constructopedia pages were reclaimed, Pepper flies back to Lego Island only to see The Brickster kidnapping Mama and Papa, declaring they will now make pizzas just for him on Ogel Island and flies off. Now the Brickster-Bots won't be affected by pizzas, Pepper will have to build a boombox to defeat them this time and reclaim the final few pages. As Ogel Island is in space, Pepper has to go through training before he can fly the shuttle up and save Mama and Papa from The Brickster.
As he arrives, he helps his kidnapped parents make loads of pizzas to put the Ogel Islanders to sleep before going to confront the Brickster himself. Pepper must make his way up a massive tower and then toss pizzas into The Brickster's mouth until he can't handle the spice anymore. With The Brickster back in his old cell, Pepper, Mama and Papa all return to the island with the criminal in tow, everyone celebrating with a massive dance party.

Trivia[]
- By typing "sdreams", the player can access a hidden cave filled with the game's developers who all introduce themselves when Pepper talks to them. The cave is found on the side of LEGO Island behind the space shuttle.
- This is the only LEGO video game to be released on both the Game Boy Color and Game Boy Advance.
- After completing the Matching Mummies minigame, there's a hidden pyramid that's blocked off. It was meant to be another part of the Adventurer's Island map but was cut due to time constraints.

- There are a large number of character dialogue that went unused, one of which being a Star Wars parody where The Brickster declares himself to be Pepper's father, only to reveal he's only joking.
