Memory Card (8MB) for PlayStation 2
To save game settings and progress, insert a memory card (8MB) into MEMORY CARD slot 1 before powering on the console. At least 65KB of free space is required to save game data.
This game supports saving and loading game data in MEMORY CARD slot 1 only. You can load saved game data from the same memory card or any memory card containing previously saved LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game games. Two-Player Gameplay
A second player can join the game at any time. Simply insert a second controller into controller port 2 and press the START button. The new player will take control of a nearby friendly character.
Free Play Mode
When you unlock Free Play Mode, you can switch between characters at will by using the L1 and R1 buttons. This is a unique and fun feature of LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game. DEXTER'S DINER
Welcome to the world of LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game! Your adventure begins in Dexter's Diner on the planet Coruscant. Here, heroes and villains mingle from all over the galaxy. When you first start the game, you'll control Qui-Gon Jinn, an experienced Jedi Master. Obi-Wan Kenobi, your loyal Jedi Padawan, will follow you wherever you go.
As you progress, new characters will join you here as they are added to your collection. You'll then be able to take them into Free Play Mode.
Episode Doors
Directly in front of you are three doors, numbered "I," "II," and "III." These "Episode Doors" correspond to the three Star Wars movies: Episode I: The Phantom Menace, Episode II: Attack of the Clones, and Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.
Initially, Episode Doors II and III are locked. They will unlock and become available for play once you have completed the first scene in Episode I, "Negotiations."
You'll then be able to play the three Episodes in parallel. You can move from one Episode to another through the Diner without losing your progress in each adventure.
Starting Your Game
1. To start your game, move Qui-Gon through the Episode I door. In the next room, you'll see six new doors and an exit back to the main Diner area. Each door leads to a different scene in Episode I. Each scene you complete unlocks the next door in the story sequence.
2. Walk through the door marked "1," and you'll start playing the first scene of Episode I, "Negotiations."
DEXTER JETTSTER
The proprietor of Dexter's Diner, Dexter Jettster, stands behind the counter in the main Diner area. If you walk up to him, you can browse the items he has for sale.
Initially, you'll see some game hints. Later, he'll offer the opportunity to purchase special items, bonus characters, and secret features in exchange for LEGO Studs. You can select an item from Dexter's shelves using the directional buttons and pressing the button to bring the item down onto the counter. You can then see its cost and decide if you'd like to buy it (provided you have enough LEGO Studs). To buy the item, press the button. To cancel the purchase, press the button. When you finish talking with Dexter, press the button to return to the Diner.
THE PARKING LOT
Besides the three Episode Doors, you'll see another door in the Diner leading to the Parking Lot. In the Parking Lot, watch your collection of LEGO Mini-kit Vehicles grow as you explore further through the game.
Each scene contains the pieces for one LEGO Mini-kit Vehicle hidden inside 10 LEGO Canisters. When you successfully build a complete vehicle, you'll get a big reward!
TWO PLAYER DROP-IN/DROP-OUT
At any point in the action, a second player can join in. To do that, connect a second controller to controller port 2 and press the START button. The new player will take control of a nearby friendly character.
Either player can drop out at any time and leave their character to continue under computer control. Just press the START button and select DROP OUT from the Pause Menu.
HEARTS
Every time your character is injured, they lose a heart. When the last heart is lost, your character will fall apart, and you'll lose some of the LEGO Studs you've collected up to that point. MOVING AROUND
Move your character using the left analog stick. The farther you push the stick in the desired direction, the faster your character will move.
TAGGING
Different characters have different abilities. To take control of a friendly character, move up to that character and press the button.
Two players can swap control by moving close
