The LEGO: Video Game Iceberg Explained 

What was your favorite entry on the iceberg? Did you know everything, or find something new? Let me know below! Don't forget to give my twitch a follow, I stream quite a bit :)!

Hey, creator of the original iceberg here. Just wanted to comment saying great job on the video. It was my first ever iceberg so it's amazing seeing it get so much attention.

That entire last section was like listening to a stoned conspiracy theorist uncle at a family gathering but it's actually a fun conspiracy

One of my favorite Easter eggs are some of the achievements in The Complete Saga that you get for killing certain characters as a specific character. If you kill Anakin as Count Dooku you get an achievement called "Revenge", killing Jango Fett as Boba Fett gets you the "Love is..." achievement, killing Palpatine as Mace Windu gets you an achievement called "Did I break your concentration?", a reference to one of Samuel L. Jackson's other movies. And my personal favorite is if you kill Jar Jar 20 times you get an achievement called "Crowd Pleaser".

You saying “Private Drive” was murdering me

Technically Lego games did have voice acting before Lego Batman 2, just not dialogue. In fact, in Lego Star Wars 3 the voice actors for Anakin, Ashoka, and the clones did the grunts and sounds of their characters.

Another secret character worth mentioning is Savage Opress in Lego Star Wars 3. He does not feature in the story, is not required for 100% completion, and is only obtainable through a hidden cheat code. Blew my mind when I found out I had missed such a cool character.

41:33 the snowman actually had something to do with a planned indiana jones level. The snowman would have blocked the way to a bonus indiana jones level, but in the end they weren't allowed to do the level, so they replaced the level with a trailer instead. It was a snowman because the level were planned to be in a pole.

The matrix easter egg in Lego Lord of the rings is possibly the single greatest easter egg in any game. It comes so out of the blue and if you don't expect it it's very easy to miss but when you notice it it's both confusing and hilarious

Robin is Tim Drake in all 3 Lego Batman games. They just incorectly labeled Tim as Dick in Lego Batman 2 - it's a mistake since he is wearing Tim's outfit, the game is takes place after Batman 1 and in the portable versions he is correctly labled as Tim Drake

FOR YEARS I have been haunted with the memory of the Lego Star Wars 3 MMO. Every couple of months I would try to find it to no avail on the internet. I eventually came to the conclusion that it was a dream. And then I watched this video, and literally screamed when I saw it on screen. Thank you lol.

Two of my favorite Easter eggs that I only know of second hand come from achievements Lego Harry Potter and LotR. In Harry Potter, if you play as Snape and hide in a barrel, you get an achievement titled “Solid Snape”, in reference to Snake hiding in a box from Metal Gear Solid. And in LotR, there’s an achievement called “One Does Not Simply” where you just up and walk into Mordor. Of course in reference to the infamous “one does not simply” meme format, showing that it was actually pretty simple after all.

For "I KILLED THEM ALL", I remember playing that level when I was a kid. As a cherry on top, after you successfully kill enough tuscan raiders to complete the level, the game plays the typical star wars music in a very upbeat way, as saying "Good job!" It takes an extra few seconds for the level to fade out to the next screen, so you can still run around and murder a few more tuscan raiders if you want.

Meowthra is not a scrapped character, they were an npc that walked around during one level of the game and in LEGO games you can play as any npc via modding

One of my favourite Easter eggs in LEGO is the useless Omochao facts in the Sonic DLC for Dimensions. I swear the devs must be fans of Sonic Paradox “Fire is hot” “Pushing boxes makes them move” “Climb the chain to go up” “Did you know money is a great source of income”

I’m so glad someone else has a positive opinion about lego Indy 2. I personally loved the hub worlds and level builder when I was a kid, it made me spend way more time in the game

24:09 The character roster file actually includes and shows us which characters were going to be playable. Here is the list: - Freeze Goon (Red) (from the last level of Power Crazed Penguin Chapter) - Zookeeper - Businessman and Businesswoman [from Scarecrow level] - Riot Policeman (Never appears in the game, He has a shield and that police melee thing) - Second Sailor - That girl from disco level - a "geek" (Just a boy in white shirt and red cap) - Bio-Hazard Scientist - Factory Worker - Gardener (From poison ivy level) - Brown Security Policeman (From bank Heist) - Janitor (From museum level) - Sewage Worker - Civilian Also there was one unused character worth mentioning, which was not meant to be a extra toggle character - "LBI Agent" also, meowthra was never been meant to be a playable character, it's just possible to assign any entity in game to the character roster. 41:40 Many furnitures and models are stored out of bounds. Snowman can be builded in the Episode V room. And also, santa is actually real, i mean, Saint Nicholas.

OMG! That Star Wars III MMO and especially The Quest For R2D2 have been burned into my mind for years and I’ve been completely unable to find them again! Thank you so much for that little bit of nostalgia, I played both of those so much as a kid!

I'd argue Savage Oppress or Chancellor Palpatine are more secret characters in Lego Star Wars 3 - only because the way to unlock them really isn't given. Starkiller and all the other ones are unlocked with minikits, however the other two can only be unlocked if you win all the RTS battles for Separatists and The Republic and keep them all red/blue at one time. I know you said favourite before listing off the characters including Starkiller but I just wanted to add to it lmao

I love the fact that Lego Star Wars 1 came out before ROTS. It means that technically speaking LSW is the original way to see the story and ROTS was supplementary

39:18 No, the version of Robin in LEGO Batman 2 and 3 is explicitly referred to as Tim Drake. I replayed 3 a couple of weeks ago and he refers to himself as Tim Drake whilst trying to snap Batman out of mind control, and if I recall correctly, in LEGO Batman 2 there's a section where you play as Bruce Wayne and Tim Drake in civilian clothing. Both games also feature Nightwing as a seperate playable character, with a different voice actor, too (at least, he has lines in 3, not sure about 2). Agent Grayson is also seperate and playable in 3. Red Hood is also playable in 3, backing up that the two prior Robins had already attained their standalone identities.

Here's my favourite easter egg: In Lego Star Wars II, episode IV part 1, there are three breakable objects scattered about the level that each reveal a small brick with a picture of grapes with eyeballs on it. Pretty random, right? Reveal all three grapes and you get a minikit. I remember always being curious about why, of all things, there were grapes in Star Wars. It wasn't until much later that I actually looked it up and found out that the grapes are apparently an item from Muppets Racemania, which was also developed by Traveller's Tales. The more you know, I guess lol

Some of my favorite Easter eggs are the secret flintstones dimension in Lego dimensions, the weeping Angel in Batman 3, and the Taken reference in Skywalker Saga when you play as Qui Gon. Just to name a few.

Wait a second! Did BD1P call Privet Drive, Private Drive?

My favorite Easter Egg in LEGO games is in The Skywalker Saga, where one of the NPCs (voiced by Adam Howden) says “I’m really feeling it,” a reference to Shulk from Xenoblade Chronicles (who he also voiced). I’m a big Xenoblade fan, so that was a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.

Child Flight absolutely had practical uses if you were early in the game and didn’t have a character with the right toolset to reach some very high up ledges.

16:04 In LEGO Batman 3's credits at the end of them the Jurassic Park theme plays and the T-rex comes out from behind the building Batman and Robin were climbing up. It references the next game, Lego Jurassic World.

15:48 that's not an easter egg, it's literally an homage to one of the most popular Batman comics from the 90s. It's *the thing* Bane is mostly known for, way before the movie

15:58 Bane breaking his back was not popularized by the Dark Knight Trilogy. lmao he broke the bats back decades ago in the books.

My favourite easter egg in a TT LEGO game is in LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy for the Nintendo DS. In the second mission of Episode 5, Escape from Echo Base, one of the minikits reached by blowing up a wall leads you to an encounter with some zombies that come out of a Bacta tank, complete with a fixed camera angle, a reference to the Tyrant fight in the original Resident Evil.

The ark of the covenant that Han Solo has in the skywalker saga is most likely the Twi'lek Ark of the covenant, a relic in the star wars world that is important to the Twi'lek Race and has appeared in the Clone Wars TV show

Actually the clones disguised as jedi was in a deleted scene, you can look it up yourself

The cut characters like black mask in lego batman 1 are not necessarily gotten by random pick, you can actually just made them. There's a lot of that ones. Like Vixen in Lego Batman 2 or Nien Nunb in TCS

Here are two things for the next iceberg: In Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, there's a man in Tuanal village on Jakku who is implied to be waiting to die. He says something along the lines of: "Please leave me alone, I just ate an unripe jogan fruit and I'm awaiting the consequences." Also, on Kef Bir during a mission, there's an Orbak on the roof of a hut, which appears to be a reference to a glitch in The Witcher where the same thing happens.

Seeing that footage of The Quest for R2D2 put me through a loop! I definitely played that game at some point and I have not thought about it for like 10+ years, goddam. Great vid btw!

You and rugged eagle are my favorite game channels

I feel you with Lego Indy 2. There's something about that game that makes it really well designed interms of doing a 100% run.

The last point isn’t quite epistemologically sound, and the multiple Robin section has a few errors: while LB2 identifies the out-of-costume character as “Dick Grayson,” LB3 has Robin directly say “It’s me, Tim!” Since LB3 explicitly picks up following LB2, due to Joker’s robot damage still being present in Gotham, we know it’s still the same, Tim Drake, for both.

How exactly does the existence of Santa prove the existence of christian saints? Very interesting entry nonetheless. Also that Vader-Padme secret is unbelievably cool, I'm still finding new things about these games 15 years later.

I've been playing the lego games since the first lego starwars and I literally never knew what extra toggle did. You truly do learn something new everyday

I found your channel a couple of days ago and I've been watching through a ton of your content. I'm in shock you don't have 100's of thousands of subscribers! Another fantastic video

The Easter egg with the Human Torch and Captain America could also reference that the original Human Torch (an Android with no association to the Fantastic Four) and Cap were both in the Invaders, a group of heroes fighting for the Allies during WWII.

i always love these videos you make

39:23 In Batman 3 it's stated that he's Tim Drake and he references 2 and has the same voice actor, I believe the devs said it was a mistake in Batman 2 when it calls him Dick

The thing that's always stuck in my mind is in Lego Indiana Jones on the Wii, I remember finding out that if you use Indy and use his whip on Karen, there's a chance that instead of doing nothing, he wraps her in it to pull her close to him to kiss. I remember I kept trying it over and over, but couldn't consistently get it. May have just been me being a dumb kid

I'm actually both a minor fan of Lego games and a minor fan of obscure trivia.

I also wanted to point out that the Human Torch and Captain America Easter egg could be a reference to the fact that both are voiced by Roger Craig Smith in the game

I think another fun thing to mention is that there is a jump-scare in Lego Marvel Super Hearos during the mission where you chase after Venom and as far as I am aware there aren't any 'actual' jump-scares in any other Lego game. (I could be completely wrong about that as I only remembered the Venom jump-scare cause I recently played it and it surprised me cause I didn't expect that kinda stuff from a Lego game made for kids.)

I really hope you make a part 2 man! One can hope right?

If you're up to it, I'd love to see a Lego game ranking or tier list from you! I'm a pretty casual fan of the series but playing Skywalker Saga and watching vids like this have me wanting to go back to some of the older games I either haven't touched in a while or never played to begin with. Knowing which ones to go for from someone well versed in them would help out a bunch, and it'd be nice to see where they all stack up.

Been playing so many Lego games on my steam deck, it brings both world, handheld and good graphics.

I’m late to the party, but I still wanted to throw some of my favorite easter eggs in here- some of which I have NEVER seen talked about online- for the folks just passing through. 1: In the third level of Empire Strikes Back in the console release of The Complete Saga, “Falcon Flight,” a bunch of crashed Classic Space ships can be seen in the Double Score Zone inside the Exogorth. I thiiiink they’re all Space Darts, but it’s been a while since I’ve seen them. They might even still have their Classic Space logos! 2: In the DS version of The Original Trilogy, at the very end of the first level of A New Hope, “Blockade Runner,” two unique Stormtroopers can be seen kissing inside an escape pod, locked behind a Bounty Hunter door. When you open the door, a short cutscene plays. I remember getting a real kick out of it as a kid. 3: This one’s gonna be pretty vague, but just hear me out. In the DS version of The Original Trilogy, in the second level of Empire Strikes Back, “Escape from Echo Base,” I somehow managed to glitch out of the level and end up underneath it, where I could see areas not accessible before. I saw a room I had never been able to access, with a bunch of minifigs in black hoods all sitting in a circle together- I remember thinking that one of them looked like Emperor Palpatine. I think they might have also had yellow skin? Anyways, I was never able to actually get into the room legitimately, probably because I was more worried about actually playing the game, so I never did find out what all that was about. The DS and game cartridge are both long gone now, and virtually no one online talks about the DS version of the Original Trilogy, so I’ve never been able to figure out how to actually open the room. I’m sure it was some kind of weird gag for a mini kit or something, but if anyone’s got the DS version of Lego Star Wars II and feels like investigating, I’m sure combing through all the stuff in this game would be an interesting afternoon.

39:45 In the PS Vita port for Lego Batman 3, Red Hood is an unlockable character and can be played alongside anyone else in the Hub worlds. I'm not sure about the other ports as I've only played the PS Vita version, and if footage is needed then I'd be more than happy to oblige. Red Hood isn't a main plot point or anything, but I do think there's extra dialogue if Red Hood is played instead of Robin in some of the levels.

If u punche leia with lando, he kiss her hands, and a nice easter egg is that u can sell your speeder in lego tcs lvl 4/3

This is one of the best Lego game videos on RU-vid, GG man

I used to play that clone wars web game every day just unlocking the characters over and over again... I don't understand why I liked it so much

I'm still holding out hope for Lego: James Bond _You could do the Connery Saga or Every Movie via Hub Worlds._ With the upgrades we've gotten from Skywalker Saga. I'm excited by the thought.

There is an obscure detail in The Complete Saga that I discovered completely by accident. In Episode 5 Chapter 6, at any point after the cutscene where Boba Fett leaves in the Slave 1, if you play as Lando, you cannot harm Leia. Instead, he will grab her hand and kiss it, and Leia will scratch her head, and give Lando a disapproving shake. I wouldn’t be surprised if I was the only person to find it, considering the kinda specific conditions.

I am so glad you mentioned the handheld games. There is also one 3ds game that is exclusive and is not a port, lego city undercover: the chase begins. It's a prequel to lego city undercover, and it's actually really good. Also, the 3ds got a few "ports" of the games with changed mechanics etc, that honestly suck ass. (The lego movie videogame and lego the hobbit are some examples I can think of).

i loved this iceberg but i have never laughed harder than when you tried to explain that christianity is real in the lego universe because santa claus is a playable character in indiana jones

I really really really wish that George Lucas was a buyable character who was overpowered as heck in skywalker saga . If they want to balance s it he could be only purchasable after 100% completion and have him be worth 4.6 billion studs

Thanks for waking up an old memory, I played the star wars mmo years ago when I was a kid. What's crazy is nearly all the old mmo's I played which were from big IP's are all but lost. I had no idea it was practically lost media.

new bd1p video so i gotta check it 😎👍

I haven´t seen it yet but already dropped my like, it seems like a really good job. Cheers from Argentina.

i didn't even know you had a whole other channel besides your issac vids nice another niche interest you can fill me in on

Damn this was a nostalgic trip. Great video

This is incredibly well produced 👌

Nice video dude :)

Amazing content

It's astounding that they're able to reference Nobot but weren't able to show the destruction of Alderaan.

I already know this video boutta be a banger

44:35 as we can see here, robin's neck has been sawed clean off his body and is now stuck in his head, but it is reattached to the rest of his body with no apparent issue. In real life, this would render both his head and torso completely unusable.

Liked and subbed. Do a part 2!

I loved Quest for R2-D2! Last I checked, most of the LEGO browser games are still playable on the Wayback Machine, even the really old ones like Junkbot and World Builder.

Cant believe I missed this upload!

In Lego dimensions in the portal 2 zone when Glados mentioned black mesa. Wich is a reference to half-life. One problem is the absence of the combine from half life two. I know it’s because they probably didn’t want to put a murderous inter dimensional empire in there game about hoping though dimensions. But from a lore perspective it would make perfect sense for them too take advantage of the dimensions colliding

16:25 It does let you skip certain puzzles or platforming challenges, especially if you use a gliding character

love this vid

Whoever came up with the afterlife theory must've been high out of their mind

Bane breaking the police backs is a reference to the original comic where bane would break Batman’s back. It’s popular because bane was the first to really damage the Batman to that point. Because bane was not only outsmarting Batman but also out muscling him

Very very nice video!

31:33 yea, me and my mom played the game on the wii. i'd assume it was due to the bugs, but if you tried using the water spell on real fire, it would crash. The Wesley house level still haunts me to this day-

General Grievous' ship turning on its side is accurate. In the movie, Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Palpatine walk down the elevator shaft, then the ship turns back upright and they end up sliding down.

I remember the Lego batman movie game being the first game I got on my phone! I'm pretty sure there was actual music in the guitar hero minigame though. Weirdly, one of the items wouldn't unlock even after I had done every quest, leaving me unable to get everything.

This is sick, there is so much I didn’t know

BROOOO I totally forgot about the quest for R2D2. I remember playing that game every day back in like second grade. Thank you for bringing back a memory.

I know you didn't cover Lego Mania games, but I thought it would be interesting to point out that there was a James Bond figure in Lego Racers 2. Sadly, you can't play as him, or use any of his assets in the character creator (not without mods). But he was one of the few custom AI characters that wasn't from a Lego theme whom you would race against.

in lego batman 1, if you turn the music off but keep the sfx on at arkham asylum then go to the level select and go to the very left you can hear people's deranged noises within the walls you can't tell if they are laughing or crying

I think full theory about Lego connections, afterlife, death , resurrections and character links would be great

At 14:36, while the Chris Evans thing is clearly what the achievement is referencing, funnily enuff in game both characters also share a voice actor, Roger Craig Smith

I was really surprised about the HP years 5-7 recall one, I own the Wii version and I was able to beat it without any softlocks glitches or bugs, guess I got lucky. Or maybe it has to do with the region?

Dope video

actually I think the cantina snowman is there to have the snowman model loaded in for the snowman in the ESB room

There are no "christmas" characters in the Skywalker Saga, they are "Life Day" characters. Life Day is a holiday in Star Wars, that is similar to christmas, but has nothing to do with christianity.

Amazing video, I loved these games growing up and they still hold a special spot in my heart. Pleaguis was probably ment to be implemented into the complete saga because he's really big in legends and in some comics and novels. He can also be seen in the prequels at one point although only as q background character. You have to know who you're looking for to spot him since, as you've said, he's only mentionend once in the movies.

There's probably another reason why the n4zi dogs are changed, in germany you're not allowed to show them in a game, so if they did add it they wouldn't be able to sell the game in Germany

Ah yes private drive and darth plajueis

that last topic was absurdly chaotic and I have no clue what to make of it anyway if you made a part 2 I wonder if you would be able to find anything from other Lego games. Fun fact, Traveler's Tales also put out 2006's Bionicle Heroes game, wonder what you could get from that!

Quest for R2D2 was goated.

I knew the difference of console versus handheld, but I learned it kind of late and it showed me I missed a lot of full games because I grew up on Lego DS games
