REV­E Fantasy Violence The Golden TOA 17 LICENSED BY NINTENDO, NINTENDO DS AND THE OFFICIAL SEAL ARE TRADEMARKS OF NINTENDO. © 2004 NINTENDO. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. It 's Up to YOU! On the island of Voya Nui, Makuta and the Piraka, along with their numerous creature Minions, have captured the TOA and stripped them of their Masks. The TOA are now powerless and the island is in chaos! The island elders call on a brave Matoran (YOU) to undertake a very difficult quest: battle the Piraka and the hordes of creatures that defend them, defeat Makuta and return the Masks to the captive TOA. YOU will assume the powers and abilities of different TOA as you recover the Masks. But be warned: if you can recover all the Masks, you still have to face the ultimate power of Makuta! Wha YOU Ha t ve To Do The Piraka and the TOA Masks are scattered throughout the different Elemental Zones of Voya Nui. You will have to fight your way through hordes of evil enemy creatures, defeat the Piraka in each Zone, and then face Makuta for the ultimate showdown. As you progress through the adventure, you will collect LEGO pieces scattered throughout the levels or stashed away in hidden locations. Collecting these will charge up your Hero Mode power and also allow you to unlock many Extras or Rewards. You will not be able to find all the secrets when you first race through the levels, but you can return to any completed level (in Free Play) to collect more items and unlockable Extras. For an extra challenge, enjoy BIONICLE HeroesTM by battling against up to three friends in Multiplayer Mode as a Piraka! 2 3 Getting Started Controls STYL US Select option Look/Aim Switch TOA Jump Touch option on the Touch Screen Touch Screen Central Circle Touch TOA icon Double-touch Touch Screen BUTTON CONTR OLS Highlight option/Move TOA Select option Previous menu 1.

It is usually in the center of the Top Screen, but changes position as you aim and look around. The Crosshair design depends on the TOA Mask you are wearing and the type of weapon the TOA is carrying. It also changes to show that the weapon is aimed correctly at a target and is in range. Crosshair Pick-up Icon Armor Level (Health) Ammo Level TOA Masks Armor Level (Health) Armor Level is shown as a red vertical bar on the lower left of the Top Screen. As you take hits in combat, this indicator begins to empty. When you take a short rest from combat, the level has time to replenish. If the Armor Level hits zero, that TOA's energy is depleted and you die. Press the A Button to start again from the last checkpoint you passed. Ammo Level Rookie TOA Icon Radar LEGO Pieces Ammo Level is shown as a filled Hexagon on the lower left of the Top Screen. As you fire your TOA weapon in combat, this begins to empty. Take a short rest from combat to allow it to replenish. The TOA you begin the game with has unlimited ammo, so that Ammo Level will never deplete. LEGO Pieces Hero Mode Charge The Hero Mode Charge bar charges up as you collect LEGO pieces. When it is completely charged up, it flashes and a Golden TOA flashes around the LEGO Pieces counter on the Touch Screen. Touch the counter to implement the Golden TOA. 6 On the lower left of the Touch Screen is a counter next to a rotating cog. This shows how many LEGO Pieces you've collected in the level. It's important to collect as many LEGO Pieces as possible to help you progress in the game. LEGO Pieces charge up Hero Mode and are used to buy Extras and Cheats. Pickup Icon An Icon appears briefly in the Top Screen when you pick up a BIONICLE Rune, an Armor Rune or a Mask. 7 TOA Masks The Touch Screen has six "locked" Mask icons ranged across the top, plus one TOA icon on the far left. The TOA Mask is the only one active when you begin the game. As you find and pick up different TOA Masks in the levels, these icons unlock and become selectable. Main Menu New Game Begin a New Game of BIONICLE HeroesTM.
