'''Sand Central Station''' is the first [[level]] of {{lm}}, and the only level playable in the demo. In the level, players must defeat {{l|Sandman|LM}} and {{l|Abomination|LM}}, who have been hired by {{l|Doctor Doom|LM}} to retrieve a Cosmic Brick at Grand Central Station.

== Story ==
When Sandman and Abomination held [[Sand Central Station|Grand Central Station]] hostage for a couple of cosmic bricks, (the {{l|Silver Surfer|LM}}'s broken up surfboard) Iron Man and {{l|Hulk|LM}} arrived to stop them, but they were attacked by Abomination. Hulk managed to throw Abomination through a window, while Sandman used his powers in an attempt to block the heroes. He eventually transformed into a sand giant that caught Iron Man and Hulk in a sandstorm. {{l|Spider-Man|LM}} saved them, however, and the three superheroes were able to solidify Sandman with water. S.H.I.E.L.D. then arrived and arrested Sandman and the Abomination. Iron Man asked {{l|Nick Fury|LM}} about what is going on, but Nick wasn't so sure.

==Walkthrough==
===Abomination===
To get to Abomination, use Iron Man to break the fire hydrants further down on the highway to dissolve the sand covering the bus. The sand will turn into mud. Use Hulk to perform a Hulk Smash on the mud and pull on the green handles to pick up the bus, in which case it can be thrown off the highway. {{l|Agent Coulson|LM}} tells you that you'll have to get past Abomination to get inside. Switch to Iron Man and blow up the silver bits on the two fire hydrants to make them spray water on the sand covering the bus. The sand will weaken and will reveal a green crack for Hulk to smash. Two green handles will be revealed. Use Hulk to pick up the bus and throw it aside. Switch to Iron Man and destroy the shiny part on the Roxxon truck ahead. Build the green handles required for Hulk to pull on the truck. Walk to Abomination, who is guarding Grand Central Station. Press the buttons on screen to defeat Abomination and a cutscene will play.

While playing in [[Free Play]], it is possible to get four [[Minikit]]s at this point.

====Minikit 1====
Before using Iron Man to turn the sand into mud, a sign can be destroyed on the left with a taxi or rock to get a minikit.

====Minikit 2====
Three trash bins can be destroyed by any character to get another minikit when the bus is cleared from the highway.

====Minikit 3====
{{Needed|[[Thor/LM|Thor]] or any other character capable of charging electricity and [[Spider-Man]] or [[Spider-Man (Symbiote)]]}}
Once a character capable of charging electricity has been unlocked, a shop on the right side of the highway can be opened up through an electricity panel, revealing the next minikit. The doors can be opened by a player capable of shooting webs.

====Minikit 4====
{{Needed|[[Wolverine/LM|Wolverine]] or any other characters who can [[Digger|dig]]}}
Lastly, the final minikit obtainable before defeating Abomination can be unlocked using [[Wolverine]] to dig up a pizza delivery bike near the shop unlocked in the third minikit for this level. Drive the bike once it has been dug up and follow the studs to the pizza place, thereby causing a minikit to appear.

===Grand Central Station Interior===
Once you defeat Abomination and enter the building, two giant sand arms will appear. on the left, there is a piece of rubble. Use Hulk to throw the piece of rubble at one of the arms. On the right, there is a silver object to destroy using Iron Man. After doing so, it will reveal another piece of rubble for Hulk to throw at the other arm. Once you proceed further, a sand train will arrive and block the way forward. To get past it, defeat 25 sand goons. When a giant sand wall rises from the ground, blow up the silver globe on top of the information booth using Iron Man to build a water cannon. Use the cannon to spray the wall which will reveal a green crack for Hulk to smash. When getting close to Sandman, a giant sand castle with cannons will rise. To destroy it, destroy the silver scaffolding on the right with Iron Man. Build the blown up bits into an anvil, then use Hulk to throw it at the sand castle. A cutscene will play where Sandman blows 
Iron Man and Hulk onto the roof, and Spider-Man joins them to help defeat him.

While playing in [[Free Play]], it is possible to get three [[Minikit|Minikits]] at this point, and to save Stan Lee.

====Minikit 5====
{{Needed|[[Iron Man (Mark 42)]] or any other characters who can [[Heat|melt gold]]}}
On the left balcony near the beginning of the stage, there is a golden counterweight keeping the chandelier with the minikit from falling. Destroy the counterweight to drop the chandelier with the minikit inside.

====Minikit 6====
{{Needed|[[Spider-Man/LM|Spider-Man]] or any other character with [[Super Sense]], a character who can melt gold, and [[Sandman/LM|Sandman]]}}
This next minikit can be found to the right of the information booth. Use a character with [[Super Sense]] to reveal a golden patch on the water pipe. Melt the gold and the water will be released onto the ground below creating a sandcastle for Sandman to interact with, which doing so will reveal the minikit. 

====Minikit 7====
{{Needed|Someone who can melt gold, [[Wolverine/LM|Wolverine]] or any other character who can activate claw switches, and [[Jean Grey/LM|Jean Grey]] or any other [[Mind Control|telepathic]] character}}
Under the left balcony, there is a gold wall. Melt the wall and activate the claw switch inside to open up the window to the left. Mind control the guy at the window and collect the minikit.

====Stan Lee in peril====
On the left balcony, there is a vending machine that [[Stan Lee/LM|Stan Lee]] is stuck under. Destroy the vending machine to save him.

===Grand Central Station Rooftop===
Destroy the silver gate to the left, then use Spider-Man to sense for a hook. Pull the hook to destroy the first generator. On the right, use Spider-Man again to sense for a wall to climb.  Pull the hook on the satellite to make it fall down and break. Build the satellite pieces into something for Hulk to destroy the second generator with. Now that both generators are shut down, Spider-Man can now sense for two hooks on the giant letter A. Pull on the hooks to make the A fall over, making a way to get up to Sandman.

====Minikit 8====
{{Needed|[[Jean Grey/LM|Jean Grey]] or any other [[Magic|telekinetic]] character}}

===Sandman===
When you confront Sandman, he will throw a ball of sand which will conveniently land on a handrailing just above a hook for Spider-Man to attach a web to. Change Hulk to [[Bruce Banner]] and climb up the web. When you get to the top, transform back to Hulk and pull on the green handles to break the water tower. Rebuild the water tower into a water cannon, then use it to spray water at Sandman. Sandman will be weakened and a green crack for Hulk to smash will appear on him. Sandman will collapse before reappearing and shooting more balls of sand which will reveal another green crack for Hulk to smash. Build the pieces out of the destroyed object to create something for Hulk to throw at Sandman. He will collapse again revealing another green crack for Hulk to smash. He will preform an attack revealing a silver object for Iron Man to blow up. Pull the lever to fill the tank with some water. On the right, use Spider-Man to pull the hook which will reveal another lever. Pull that lever to completely fill the tank with water. Spider-Man will then be able to sense for a hook on top of the water container, which when pulled will spray more water at Sandman. He will fall over and a green crack will appear on his head. Smash the green crack and a cutscene will play, ending the level.

While playing in [[Free Play]], it is possible to get two [[Minikit|Minikits]] at this point.
