Important Health Warning About Playing Video Games

Photosensitive Seizures

A very small percentage of people may experience a seizure when exposed to certain visual images, including flashing lights or patterns that may appear in video games. Even people who have no history of seizures or epilepsy may have an undiagnosed condition that can cause these photosensitive epileptic seizures while watching video games. These seizures may have a variety of symptoms, including lightheadedness, altered vision, eye or face twitching, jerking or shaking of arms or legs, disorientation, confusion, or momentary loss of awareness. Seizures may also cause loss of consciousness or convulsions that can lead to injury from falling down or striking nearby objects. Immediately stop playing and consult a doctor if you experience any of these symptoms. Parents should watch for or ask their children about the above symptomschildren and teenagers are more likely than adults to experience these seizures. The risk of photosensitive epileptic seizures may be reduced by taking the following precautions: Sit farther from the television screen. Use a smaller television screen. Play in a well-lit room. Do not play when you are drowsy or fatigued. If you or any of your relatives have a history of seizures or epilepsy, consult a doctor before playing.

Welcome, Hero!

Imagine the island of Voya Nui. You are on a beach at the foot of a monstrous cliff. A line of meandering footprints leads you to a figure collapsed on the sand. As you approach, a deep rumble of thunder echoes in the distance. Exhausted, a Matoran looks up at first fearful but then understanding, I know who you are. You are the Hero, he says. You smile. With this encouragement the Matoran tells you the story. This land has been invaded by the despicable Piraka. They have stolen the Mask of Life! The Piraka do not know the Masks real power, but in spite of that they have used it to take control of all the creatures on the island. You are the Hero. You must track down and defeat the Piraka, restore the Mask and bring peace back to Voya Nui. Here. The Matoran reaches into a large bag lying next to him and pulls out an ornate TOA Inika Mask. Collect and use the powers that the TOA Inika Masks will grant you to save Voya Nui. Hero, this is your quest!

Controls

Menu Controls Wha YOU Ha t ve To Do

BIONICLE Heroes lets you take on the guise of the heroic TOA Inika and control their unique powers to overcome a host of different enemies. Many dangerous, aggressive BIONICLE creatures, created by the evil power of the Piraka, exist on the island. You must defeat hordes of enemies in each of the six elemental Zones of the island and then defeat the Piraka to win back the Mask of Life and return the island to peace. Your power (as the Hero) comes from the six different TOA Inika Masks that you can find scattered throughout each level. Once you put on a TOA Mask, you assume the powers and ability of that TOA. Dont worry even if the task seems too difficult, you will not be left without help. BIONICLE Heroes will always prompt you on the best course of action to take: either indicating which TOA to use to make the most of a special ability, or pointing you in the correct direction to get through a level.

The TOA will move a few steps out of the chamber, and then you will again be able to use the normal TOA controls. UNLOCKED BIONICLE COLLECTIBLES: On the left-side screen of the Trophy Cave, you can view all the special BIONICLE collectibles youve unlocked in the game so far. You unlock these collectibles by picking up special canisters in the levels. J Use

l to select a collectible.
A to look at its details and history.

LEGO Counter

This shows the number of LEGO pieces youve collected. Plugs, cogs and bricks can be found loose, in clusters, or within constractions (that you need to destroy in order to release the pieces). LEGO pieces also appear when you defeat enemies, perform constractions, or activate LEGO constractions. Pick up LEGO pieces by walking over them. The pieces fly up to the top of the screen and are added to your total. Use LEGO pieces to buy upgrades for the TOA and charge up the Hero Mode gauge. You can find three types of LEGO pieces: J Silver Most common, adds 10 to the counter. J Gold Adds 50 to the counter. J Blue Very rare, adds 250 to the counter.

Page 8

Heal th Bar

Heart icons in the Health Bar show how much health the active TOA has. You gain Hearts as pick-ups after destroying certain enemies, but you lose Hearts as you take hits in combat. Once you lose all the Heart icons in this panel, you lose that specific TOA Mask and automatically switch to the next available TOA Mask. When you lose a TOA Mask, you also lose some of the LEGO pieces you collected. Heart icons flash when they are damaged. J If no other TOA Mask is available, you return to your last checkpoint. (When you pass a checkpoint in any level, you will see the word Checkpoint on-screen.)

TOA Masks

The power of the six Inika TOA comes from the Masks you will find throughout the levels. The ones you pick up are shown in this panel. The Mask pulsating on the right is the currently active TOA. J Press
Y or y / y to cycle through the Masks.
Once you have a Mask and put it on, you adopt the powers and abilities of that TOA. You lose that Mask (and all its associated powers) if you lose all its Heart icons in combat. The Mask is not lost for good; youll be able to pick it up somewhere else in the level (look for it on the Scanner).

Scanner Hero Mode Charge

Collecting a sufficient number of LEGO pieces lets you activate Hero Mode and allows the transformation of the TOA into the Golden TOA. This bar shows the Hero Charge building up and gives you an idea of how much farther you have to go before you can kick off Hero Mode. Once this bar is full, the transformation into the Golden TOA is instant. When you are in Hero Mode, Heart icons are shown in gold. Triggering Hero Mode creates a small shockwave around the TOAs feet, destroying any enemies within a small radius. GOLDEN CONSTRACTIONS A number of gold LEGO pieces can only be built (or constracted) by the Golden TOA. These flash the Hero Mode icon when you approach them if you dont have enough LEGO pieces to enter Hero Mode and activate them. J In Hero Mode, press Constraction. The Scanner display gives you very important in-game information. You are located at the center of the rotating scanner. From here you can view the relative positions of: J Enemies (red dots) J TOA Mask Locations (colored Mask icons) J Gold Constraction Locations (gold circles) J Progress Direction (arrow) J TOAs line of vision (white cone) Each TOA customizes the Scanner screen with its own colors. The active Mask on the right of the panel pulses to remind you of your current TOA character.
B, when prompted, to perform a Golden
J Triggering a Golden Constraction causes a golden shockwave to emit from the constraction, which damages any enemies within range. All other AI creatures (non-bosses) will become frozen for the duration of the Golden Constraction. J Triggering a Golden Constraction uses up the TOAs Hero Mode Charge. INVULNERABILITY The Golden TOA cannot be affected by attacks from any enemies in the level. INCREASED DAMAGE The Golden TOA has the weapons of all other TOA and can switch between them (as normal), but the damage it does is considerably more extensive. When the Hero Mode Charge runs out, the TOA returns to normal and the Hero Mode bar must be recharged from the beginning. However, you will not lose your collection of LEGO pieces; you keep these and can use them later in the Shop.

The TOA

Jaller (RED)

TOA INIKA OF FIRE One of the fastest TOA over any ground, JALLER carries Fireblast, a powerful rapid-fire style weapon. He can cross lava flows at locations where prompted. JALLER is a good choice if you have to get somewhere fast! J With his upgraded Torch Ability, JALLER can burn his way through LEGO vines.

Hewkii (BROWN)

TOA INIKA OF EARTH HEWKII is a very practical TOA who can manipulate constractions, and either assemble or break up LEGO pieces. If some type of machinery needs to be used, than HEWKII is the TOA for the job. If a LEGO structure needs to be dismantled for its LEGO pieces, thats the task of this TOA. HEWKII can build bridges to span chasms and assemble boats and vehicles that can be used temporarily. He is one of the slowest of the six TOA across land but is well-armored and wields Earthburst, a very powerful stone smasher. J With his upgraded Fragment Ability, HEWKII can fragment walls to uncover hidden treasures.

Hahli (BLUE)

TOA INIKA OF WATER HAHLI is the only TOA that can go into or across water (streams, rivers, or underwater passages). Well-armored and carrying Watershock, a medium-range beam weapon, she has medium speed on land but is faster in water. J With her upgraded Trench Ability, Hahli can operate water-based constractions.

Nuparu (BLACK)

TOA INIKA OF STONE NUPARU is the only TOA that can climb rock faces. Approach a suitable cliff (showing a climb surface) and, when prompted, press B. NUPARU can walk up the rock face using the same movement controls as on the flat. NUPARU has a slower movement speed but is the strongest of the six TOA. Wielding Stonemash, can conjure balls of pure energy that are useful for lobbing over protective ledges (though this is not the best choice for close combat). J With his upgraded Excavate Ability, NUPARU can dig out hidden treasures.

Kongu (GREEN)

TOA INIKA OF AIR KONGU can jump and perform spectacular leaps at specific locations (by pressing B). KONGU travels quickly through the air, and has good all-round armor and strength. He wields Airshot, a short-range blaster that can be slow to reload. J With his upgraded Gust Ability, KONGU can create gusts of wind to activate wind-based constractions.

TOA Upgrades

Upgrade the TOA at the Matoran Enclave shop. You can buy enhanced TOA armor, upgrade to more powerful weapons with a better fire/reload rate and upgrade a TOAs special ability (very expensive).

Ma toro (WHITE)

TOA INIKA OF ICE MATORO is the distance specialist. With his special ability he can pick off troublesome enemies at long range. Zoom in on enemies by pressing B. MATORO is very slow moving across the ground and is one of the weakest of the TOA. He carries Icestrike, a powerful ice weapon that can be slow to reload. J With his upgraded Freeze Ability, MATORO can create ice paths from water.

Pick -ups

LEGO Pieces
LEGO pieces are plugs, cogs, bricks, etc. found loose, in clusters, or in LEGO constractions (which you need to destroy in order to release the LEGO pieces). Once the pieces are on the ground, walk through or over them to add them to your total.
J Caution! If you wait too long to pick them up, the pieces will disappear. You can also shoot some objects or enemies from a distance and the pieces will be credited on your LEGO counter. Look everywhere for objects, creatures, LEGO constractions, chests anything that might help add to your LEGO counter. In some sections of a level, you might need to charge up Hero Charge Mode twice in a row in order to progress. In this case, always make sure you have some LEGO pieces in reserve that you can blast to add to your counter (and Hero Charge Mode charge). J Remember! LEGO pieces are very important for charging up Hero Charge Mode!

1 Enemy Health Bar

2 Auto-Target

Hearts (EXTRA HEALTH)

You can pick up Heart icons after destroying certain enemies in combat. You lose Hearts as you take hits in combat.

Enemy Heal th Bar

All enemies and objects fired upon by the TOA display a Health Bar to instantly show how much damage you are dishing out. Sometimes, if your weapon has a broad spread, several Health Bars will appear at the same time. Once you inflict maximum damage, the enemy target explodes into its LEGO pieces for you to claim!

Unlockables

Auto Target
Your TOA will auto-target any creatures or objects you are facing. When the target is in range, a green aiming beam emanates from the eyes of the Mask and locks-on to the nearest target, object or enemy within the TOAs cone of vision. To change a target object, move your view and another target will be acquired.

BIONICLE Collectibles

There are 100 different objects to unlock throughout all the Zones. These are found in Gold Canisters. All collectibles that youve unlocked are listed at the end of a level on the Status Screen and appear in the Trophy Cave with full details and information.

Switching TOA

Its very important to use the right tools for the right job. Its especially true in combat: always select the most effective TOA for the task ahead. Do you want speed? Strength? If a specific task requires a specific TOAs special ability, then you will be prompted with an icon of that TOAs Mask. J Press Y to switch TOA and you will see the icon to carry out that special ability. J Press

Canisters

Each level contains a limited number of BIONICLE canisters. Two types are available: J Silver Unlockable from most levels. Unlocking five in a level unlocks enemy creatures to feature in the Trophy Cave. J Gold Unlockable from all levels, Unlocks Masks that will appear in the Trophy Cave.
B to carry out the special ability.
