Transcript[]
Annoying a Security Supervisor[]
- [Chase climbs down a rope that leads to the museum]
- Chase McCain: [on screen] Don't worry about this job, Chase. [off-screen] Consider it payback for how much the gift shop charged for that dinosaur pen when you were eleven...
- [Chase goes further down the rope until he is behind a Security Supervisor]
- Security Supervisor: Feathers... Four letters.
- Chase McCain: Hmm... Down?
- Security Supervisor: No, across. [He turns around and notices Chase] Wuh!?!
- [Chase and the Security Supervisor fight each other. The Security Supervisor throws Chase and presses a button to alert the other museum guards]
Does T. rex Have Anything to Do with Rex?[]
- [Upon receiving a message from Dunby]
- Marion Dunby: I just called Sherrif Huckleberry and he told me hasn't seen you in hours! Where are you?!
- Chase McCain: A lead came up, Chief. And I think it points straight to Rex.
- Marion Dunby: So not only have you ignored my orders, you're probably about to take something expensive again? Are you sure this is connected with Fury?
- Chase McCain: Yes. Vinnie's asked me to get the museum's robotic Tyrannosaurus Rex for someone. It can't just be a coincidence!
- Marion Dunby: That does sound like Fury's style... Alright, I'll let you follow this one, McCain. But if it doesn't lead to Fury, then that T. rex won't be the only extinct thing around here... [He cuts the call]
Exploring the Museum[]
- [If the player uses the control panel near the Formula 1]
- Male Computer: This car holds the world speed record. When it was being flown from the factory, it fell out the back of the plane, reaching a terminal velocity of five hundred miles an hour.
- [After making Formula 1 go at full speed]
- Chase McCain: Whoa! I can't believe I almost got ran over in a museum!
- [If the player uses the control panel near the locomotive]
- Male Computer: This steam locomotive was unveiled at the opening of LEGO City's very first train station. It wasn't used until two years later, when a second station was finally built.
- [If the player uses the control panel near the pirate ship]
- Male Computer: This pirate ship was painstakingly reconstructed from eight-hundred and forty-three pieces dredged up from the bottom of the ocean. There were quite a lot of bits left over, so it probably wasn't a pirate ship before.
- [When going up the stairs to the third floor]
- Chase McCain: The dinosaur exhibit! Great! The T. rex is bound to be in there.
- [When approaching the Super Build]
- Chase McCain: I've probably got enough bricks to use that Super Build now.
Searching for the T. rex[]
- [If the player approaches the closed office on the left side]
- Security Police: You can't get in here! This place is impenetrable! Can I smell burning?!
- [If the player approaches the exhibit in the lower left corner]
- Chase McCain: Well that certainly isn't a T. rex.
- [If the player approaches the exhibit in the lower right corner]
- Chase McCain: And that isn't a T. rex, either.
- [If the player uses the feather to tickle the skeleton stegosaurus]
- Chase McCain: Coochy-coochy-coo-coo!
- [If the player uses the control panel near the stegosaurus]
- Male Computer: This mighty dinosaur has a series of blade-like bones running along its back. Some scientists think it may have been used as a tool by bigger dinosaurs to cut bread.
- [If the player approaches the exhibit on the left side of the first floor]
- Chase McCain: Where's the T. rex? If I ran this place it'd right in the middle. Being all "Raaargh!".
- [If the player approaches the exhibit on the right side of the first floor]
- Chase McCain: Ooh, an ancient Jurassic period box.[note 1]
- [If the player builds Dry Bones]
- Chase McCain: I'm not sure that's even a real dinosaur...[note 1]
- [When approaching the Super Build]
- Chase McCain: I've got enough bricks to build that T. rex, now.
- [If the player takes a long time to build the T. rex]
- Chase McCain: I've found a lot of Super Bricks. Maybe there's something I can build around here? Hey! I can use them to build a T. rex! That is lucky...
- [If the player uses the control panel near Robin Hood]
- Male Computer: This diorama depicts Robin Hood's less popular cousin, Robbing Hoodlum. While he also stole from the rich, he never really got around to giving to the poor. Probably because he was too busy stealing from them, too.
- [If the player completes the Bullseye minigame]
- Chase McCain: Yes! Bullseye!
- [As the Caveman hits a gray part of the spinning wheel]
- Caveman: Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! Uuugh!
- [If the player completes the Prehistoric minigame]
- Chase McCain: Hey! I just reinvented the wheel!
- [If the player uses the control panel near the Egyptian exhibit]
- Male Computer: This Sphinx is an exact copy of the one found near the pyramids, except with some of the missing details restored. When we asked museum visitors to vote on whether ours was better than the original, it won by a nose.
- [If the player starts the Egyptian minigame]
- Chase McCain: I hope this mummy's tomb isn't cursed...
T. rex in the City[]
- [The T. rex comes out of the museum windows and the citizens scream for danger]
- Chase McCain: That's right, Chase. Keep it low-key.
- [The level ends]
Story[]
After doing so and learning to use the Pig Canons, Chase receives a call from Vinnie with a job to steal a robotic Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton. Guessing that Rex Fury wants the T. Rex skeleton, he agrees. During the process Dunby reluctantly lets Chase back on the case.
Walkthrough[]
Level Prelude[]
You access this level when you enter the Uptown Museum to steal a T. rex. Due to the long Level Prelude, it is recommended that you watch the walkthrough on the following pages: The Rescue, Bringing Home the Bacon, and Back on the Case.
Level Walkthrough[]
You start in an office, where you are attacked by a Security Supervisor. Fight him and arrest him. After defeating him, go right and use the Robber suit to open a locked store. Inside that tent, you will find a yellow lever. Grab it and place it on a connector in the lower left corner. Then, pull it to open the curtains next to it, where a Formula 1 will be. Use the Undercover suit to destroy the lower part of the exhibit and make Formula 1 start to go at full speed, until it crashes into the wall on the right and is destroyed, revealing red pieces. Two guards will come to attack you. Fight them and arrest them. After defeating them, go to the place where Formula 1 was destroyed and use its parts to build a dynamite vending machine. Use the Miner suit on it to receive a dynamite. Grab the dynamite and place it in a barrel next to a silver block next to the locomotive. Move away from the dynamite and it will explode, destroying the silver block and allowing you to build a stove pipe. The stove pipe will cause the locomotive to receive smoke to go behind. After making the locomotive go behind, destroy a box in the gap next to the track to build a small cart. Push it onto a pressure plate on the right to open the bars of another gap. In the newly opened gap, destroy another box to build a ladder on top of the cart. Then, push the cart onto another pressure plate to the right to open the bars of another gap. Inside that gap, you will find a green valve. Grab it, place it on the cart and turn it to lift the stairs. Use those stairs to reach the second floor.
There, go left and destroy two engines to build a color swapper with the color green. Use it to change the color of your Robber suit's Color Gun from purple to green. Then, use the color green to change the color of a panel from red to green. This will cause another locomotive's car to go behind. Grab a box and take it to a green pad on the left to build the missing parts of an oil pump. Use the oil pump to reach the third floor.
On the third floor, you will have to build a Yellow Devil, which will require 21,000 bricks. If you don't have the necessary bricks, look for Super Bricks. First, go to the far left of the third floor and pull a yellow lever to drop a toy submarine. Then, stand at a designated spot and press the action button to operate the toy submarine. With the toy submarine, head towards a small Super Brick and the submarine will grab it. Then, go to the designated place and pull a lever to remove the submarine from the aquarium and also leave the small Super Brick on the dock. Grab it to increase your bricks by 1,000. Then, go back to the second floor and grab a Luminous Stone in a gap next to the gap where you found the box. Return to the first floor and place the Luminous Stone in a machine next to a closed door. The machine will turn the Luminous Stone into a key. Grab the key, place it in a lock, and turn it to open the door and reveal a large Super Brick. Grab it to increase your brick count by 10,000. Then, return to the third floor and go up the stairs on the right to find another large Super Brick ahead. Grab it and you will have 10,000 more bricks. With all those Super Bricks grabbed, you should have 21,000 bricks.
Go to the multicolored pad and use the 21,000 bricks to build the Yellow Devil. The Super Build biplane will move the pirate ship to the left, lowering the ship's ladder and extending a plank. Go to the left end of the floor, go to the deck of the ship, climb the ladder to reach the top of the right mast and jump to the balcony. Then, swing on the poles to reach the other side and drop into a gap to enter the lunar exhibit room. Inside the lunar exhibit, use the Undercover suit on a question mark scanner symbol to find a rock. Grab it and place it in a basket to press a pressure plate, dropping a box and destroying it. Use the pieces from the box to build a Teleport Pad. Use the Astronaut suit on it to teleport to the laboratory exhibit room. Inside the lab exhibit, pull a yellow lever to reveal a color swapper with the color red. Then, turn two green valves until the top clock hand stops green to activate a fan. Use the fan to exit the exhibit and use the newly revealed color swapper to change the color of your Robber suit's Color Gun from green to red. Go back to where the Super Build was and use the red color of your Color Gun to change the color of a panel from green to red. This will disable the lasers blocking the dinosaur exhibit. Go to the dinosaur exhibit to reach the next area.
In the next area, you will be attacked by three Security Police. Fight them and arrest them. After defeating them, you will need to build a T. rex, which will cost you 30,000 bricks. If you don't have the necessary bricks, look for Super Bricks. First, go to the exhibit in the lower left corner and destroy a large egg to reveal a question mark scanner symbol. Use the Undercover suit on it to find a feather in a buried trapdoor. Grab it, go to the exhibit in the lower right corner, and use the feather to tickle a skeleton stegosaurus. This will anger the Stegosaurus and destroy the office window on the right side. Defeat the Security Police in that office and grab a dynamite with the Miner suit. Place it in a barrel next to a silver door on the left side and walk away. It will explode and destroy the silver door leading to the office on the left side. Defeat the Security Police in that office and use a control panel to open the glass panels of all the exhibits on the second floor. Then, defeat two Security Police and go up the stairs to the floor where the Super Build is. From here, you can decide whether to do the left-side or right-side exhibits first.
On the right side, defeat three security police and go to the Egyptian exhibit. In that exhibit, destroy a box to build the missing part of a sphinx. Then, use a gray control panel to start a minigame. In it, use two control panels and have both spinning machines display the symbol shown above the Sphinx's legs to open a tomb, revealing a large Super Brick. (The symbols can be random.) Grab it to increase your count by 10,000 bricks. Next, head to the Native American exhibit. In that exhibit, use a gray control panel to start another minigame. In it, three totems will spin and then stop. Make sure that one of the totems matches the ones in the pictures behind. If so, step on the pressure plate next to the matching totem to make it turn green. Repeat this with all three totems and a large Super Brick will appear. Grab it to have 10,000 more bricks.
After you have those two large Super Bricks, go to the upper floor on the left side. There, defeat a Security Police and go to the Robin Hood exhibit. In that exhibit, destroy a box and build a Forestman. Then, use the gray panel on that exhibit to play a minigame. In said minigame, press the attack button when the target is near the Forestman's point to hit it and reveal a large Super Brick. Grab it to have 10,000 more bricks. Next, head to the Prehistoric exhibition. In that exhibit, destroy a box to build a Caveman. Then, use the gray control panel on that exhibit to play one more minigame. In said minigame, press the attack button in synchronization so that the Caveman hits the four gray parts of a spinning wheel. Doing this will cause a Super Brick to appear on top of the spinning wheel. Grab it and you'll have another 10,000 more. With those four large Super Bricks grabbed, you should have 40,000 bricks. Finally, go to the multicolored pad in the northern exhibit and use the 40,000 bricks to build a T. rex. Get on the T. rex to finish the level.
