This was one of the first games I ever had. I'll hopefully leave comments within a couple of days. ♦ jaguar 23:14, 27 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Gameplay
  • Now I must admit the only memory I have of me playing this game is choosing the colour of my Bionicle and walking around on a beach. I don't know what kind of depth this game had, so I'm not sure if there's more to cover in the gameplay section. Is there more to jumping and throwing objects? Can the section be expanded to reflect anything that may have been missed?
    I've expanded upon it using some of the Nintendo Power issue, which does include an in-depth gameplay guide. This gives a more specific look at the game's tool selection, NPCs, and more. There is some depth to the gave but the actual coverage is mostly limited to surface-level. I could give additional context for the mini games if needed. Toa Nidhiki05 03:20, 8 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • The image caption is lacking. The caption should ideally mention what the functions of the HUD are (I assume that's the life-meter in the bottom left corner?)

  • "and its ending is a direct setup for The Legend of Mata Nui; however, the game was cancelled in October 2001" - remove the semicolon and replace it with a full stop: The game was cancelled in October 2001, however.

Sorry for the delay in getting to this. I've been very occupied with my final year of university. Those are all the comments I have for this article - overall it is solid, well-written and sourced. I'd say the only thing holding it back for now is the question regarding the gameplay's comprehensibility, and the image caption could do with fleshing out. Then again I don't recall the gameplay being anything but bare, so there might not be much else to cover. Once all the above are out of the way I'll be happy to promote this. jaguar 23:21, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

"Quest for the Toa" title

[edit]

Is this game actually titled "Quest for the Toa" anywhere in the released game, box art, or manual, or in some versions? As far as I can tell it's just called "Lego Bionicle", similar to how Bionicle 2003 often gets called "Bionicle: The Game" despite dropping the The Game part before release. --Ringtail Raider (talk) 22:12, 23 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The subtitle appears on the back of the box and some other LEGO-published materials like LEGO Mania Magazine. IceWelder [] 16:25, 24 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The back of the box line looks more like a tagline in the description than an actual subtitle; it's not in the actual logo in the top left corner. As for Lego Mania, I think that falls under outdated advertising material still using its old name. That Mobygames link even just calls it Lego Bionicle, since that's just what it's called. The 2003 Bionicle game was previously moved from "Bionicle: The Game" for the same reasons but for some reason this page got moved back to the QftT subtitle at some point. --Ringtail Raider (talk) 11:49, 6 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
