Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a sports adventure game where players assemble a soccer team to compete in the LEGO Cup. They must overcome challenges, including a mischievous villain, by winning matches to collect spaceship parts and ultimately compete in an intergalactic showdown.
Story
INTRODUCTION
Life is good in LEGOLAND®. You are about to enter the qualifying rounds for the prized LEGO® Cup. But things could change in a hurry—the mischievous Brickster and his robotic henchmen, the Bricksterbots, are up to their old tricks again, so watch out!
Now it's up to you to gather the best team of players. Your soccer adventures are sure to take you to faraway places where you'll meet, and play with, the best soccer players in all of LEGOLAND. Where will your ultimate match take you?
Do you have what it takes to make a sliding tackle against an Intergalactic All-Star Attacker on Mars? Freddy Fit, your referee and roving reporter, and all the good people of LEGOLAND are counting on you. So lace up your cleats, strap on your shin pads, and get ready for Soccer Mania!
STORY MODE
This mode is divided into four exciting phases that flow together to create a fun story with lots of different soccer matches. Each match unfolds more of the adventure.
THE CHALLENGE
Become familiar with the teams and try to qualify for the LEGO® Cup. Watch out though, because you never know what might happen.
THE CHASE
No sooner has your soccer prowess won you the Qualifying Cup than the naughty Brickster gets up to his old tricks again and the story takes on a whole new twist.
You'll have to get help from the astronauts, who tell you how to put a spaceship together. The only problem is, you have to win the parts first...
THE RACE TO SPACE
Play a series of matches to win the parts to build your own spaceship. Compete for a part of the spaceship with different LEGO teams. When you have all the parts, the astronauts will help you blast off to the next stage of your adventure.
SPACE SHOWDOWN
Shoot off into space for the final showdown. Have you got what it takes to win the Intergalactic Cup against the Brickster's ultimate team? If you can win it, you will have unlocked everything for use in the game.
