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 Mask’s 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!”

What YOU Have 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.

Don’t 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.

Welcome Hero!

Armor Level (Health)

The TOA’s Armor (health) level is shown as a diminishing bar. If the bar
reaches zero, the TOA has lost all energy. Heal the TOA by picking up LEGO
pieces left by defeated enemies and destroyed objects throughout the levels.

If you lose all Armor, the TOA has no energy and disappears in a blast
of LEGO pieces. But don’t worry — the TOA will regenerate a few seconds
later somewhere close by.

Current TOA

This icon shows the TOA you are currently controlling. It reacts when you take
hits in combat. The icon changes when you find an upgrade in a level or a new
Mask at the end of a Zone.

Energy Meter

The Energy Meter shows the TOA’s secondary fire level (B Button). If this
meter reaches zero you will not be able to fire your secondary weapon for a few
moments, but you can still fire your primary weapon (A Button). The Energy
Meter level increases slowly when you rest your TOA.

LEGO Pieces

This counter shows the LEGO pieces you’ve collected in the level. You collect
LEGO pieces by destroying enemies, terrain, turrets, bunkers — in fact, anything
that explodes. Collected LEGO pieces give your TOA health by healing any
damage done in combat, and count toward your final game score.

Some LEGO pieces are more valuable than others:

J

Blue LEGO pieces = 5 health units

J

Gray LEGO pieces = 10 health units

J

Gold LEGO pieces = 20 health units
