Story
Chase McCain returns to LEGO City after accidentally revealing Natalia Kowalski’s identity live on national TV after Natalia provided evidence that helped arrest Rex Fury. Chase was brought back by ship by Mayor Gleeson to investigate a crime wave she believes Rex Fury is behind, as he is a criminal mastermind and had escaped from Albatross prison. Chase is brought to the police station, where he meets Frank Honey and an apparent old foe, Marion Dunby, who had become the chief. After a briefing, Chase takes care of a bank robbery carried out by the clown robbers. After the mission, Chase bumps into Natalia Kowalski, who reveals that she had to change her identity to hide from Rex Fury and threatens to leave him for her personal safety. Later, Chase takes on a gang of robbers on the TV tower, and finds out from the leader that they were working from Rex Fury. Chase decides to go to Albatross Prison to find evidence of Rex, where he meets Blue Whittaker, who tells him about Rex. After investigating his cell, Chase discovers that Rex used a hammer to dig his way out of prison, leading to an assignment in the Bluebell mine to find more evidence, but instead finds Rex, who knocks him out and escapes. Seeking for guidance to defend against Rex, Chase goes to Barry Smith, who teaches him Kung-Fu by listening to a disc. Chase decides to work undercover with Rex's affiliates, starting with Chan Chuang, a person who owns a chop shop, and works for him by stealing cars for him. He then goes on to work for Vinnie Pappalardo, who assigns him to steal the Bell Pepper Emerald. Dunby then tells chase to get evidence against Chan Chuang by photographing his gang members Doing illegal actions. Chan calls Chase shortly after and tells him to steal a moon buggy since all his most trusted employees had been arrested. Then, Chase is called by chief Dunby to rescue Forrest Blackwell, who has been kidnapped by an unknown criminal gang. Vinnie Pappalardo then assigns Chase a task to steal a Tyrannosaurus Rex skeleton for Rex Fury. After that, Chase decides to head towards the hotel where he heard that Rex Fury and Vinnie were meeting and learns that Vinnie and Rex had a falling out. He teams up with Vinnie to go into Blackwell tower to find a hidden vault of gold, where Moe explains to him about an incident where Forrest planned to build an apartment with a mall in the Bluebell Park, but was banned due to the park housing a rare squirrel, infuriating Forrest. When Chase gets to the Tower, when he opens the vault, he is ambushed by Sentinels, who serve as guards. He outruns them, but when he goes to Pappalardo's Ice Cream Parlor in meet up with Vinnie, he rescues him from Rex's goons, who had frozen him in a freezer in retaliation of Vinnie betraying him. He next goes to the bowels of Rex's hidden base to find Henrik Kowalski, Natalia's father, there he finds that Forrest Blackwell himself is behind the crime wave. Henrik reveals to him a plan made by Blackwell to make an empire on the moon, where Henrik was forced to help make a protective shield for the empire. Upon discovering that Blackwell Tower is actually the rocket that Forrest was planning on using to get to the moon, he sets up force-fields around the tower to prevent the rocket's ignition from incinerating the city. Next, using another rocket, he goes to the moon empire and reroutes Forrest's rocket back to Earth, where Forrest then refuses to go as states that he decided to build his "utopia" (apartment/mall) on the moon instead, still furious about the incident of his cancelled construction project on Bluebell park. After fighting Rex Fury's T. Rex robot, Forrest destroys the tower, and leaves Rex and Chase to fight while he escapes in an escape pod. Chase then defeats Rex, and saves Natalia's spacecraft from crashing into LEGO City. Chase is congratulated for saving the city and Rex is ultimately put back in jail.

Background
This game was first mentioned in The Brick 2009, where it was said, "LEGO City Stories will have a more loose central story that will encourage the player to explore a wider variety of side stories and challenges". The game was then advertised at the back of LEGO set instructions from 2011 City sets.
After the events in LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins, Chase is sent away for two years After revealing Natalia, his girlfriend, was the one who testified against Rex Fury. The game begins on his way back to LEGO City. He learns from Mayor Gleeson that Rex Fury has broken out of prison. Gleeson tasks McCain to find Rex Fury and bring him to justice again.
Arriving at the police station to restart his work as a police officer. He meets Frank Honey and Ellie Phillips (Frank's crush), he also learns that Marion Dunby has been made police chief. Dunby doesn't want anything to do with the case so sends McCain on various other tasks including catching bank robbing clowns, clearing up a roadblock, and catching some criminals who have taken over the LEGO City TV building. After he dealt with the road block he went after Natalia (who drove by after the road was cleared) and tries to talk to her. Their conservation doesn't last long and Natalia takes Chase's car to say goodbye to her father and to leave Lego City.
While arresting the final criminal, he learns that the criminals were working for Rex Fury and tells McCain to seek out Blue Whittaker in the prison to find out how Rex escaped.
At the prison, Blue tells McCain to check out Rex's cell. McCain works his way to Rex's cell, gaining an undercover outfit along the way to enable him to crowbar open locked doors. McCain figures out that Rex used a pickax obtained from the Bluebell Mines to dig his way out of the cell and the prison.
McCain learns from Ellie Phillips that some of Rex's thugs stole equipment from the mines a few months back and, despite Dunby's warning to stay away from the mines, infiltrates the mines to speak with a witness. When he gets there, McCain finds that Rex's flunkies are still there. Fighting his way through mines to find the witness, Named Clarence Fletcher a.k.a 'Stinky', he finds out that he has been kidnapped. His whereabouts are unknown by the game's end.
Exiting the caves, McCain incidentally runs into Rex. Attempting to arrest Rex proves fruitless as Rex is much stronger than McCain and in a single punch, McCain is knocked out. Coming to, the police chief at the Bluebell National Forest police station suggests to McCain to learn Kung Fu to stand up to Rex. During this scene, Natalia Kowalski is there and McCain is informed that her father has gone missing.
Because of McCain's blunder two years ago in which he reveals her name on national television, she does not want McCain's help in finding her father. Undaunted, McCain travels to the dojo of Barry Smith to learn advanced fighting techniques.
Once trained by Smith, McCain learns that Frank Honey was abducted trying to deliver a new truck to the department (As a favor for Ellie). Fighting off red-clothed goons and regaining control of the truck, he learns from Frank that a criminal enterprise run by Chan Chuang wanted the truck.
After losing Chan's men, Frank asks Chase if he can drive the truck to the police station to impress Ellie. Frank, however, loses control of the truck and crashes it into a party at the station where Gleeson is in attendance.
Frank incidentally lets it slip to her that Dunby has taken McCain off the Rex Fury investigation. Attempting to cover his tracks, Dunby allows McCain to go undercover in Chan's gang (whom McCain suspects is working for Rex).
Ellie adds an audio scanning ability to Chase's police communicator and he overhears a phone call from one of Chan's men asking where a man named Bucky Butler is because he's late for his interview with Chan's father, Old Quiang. Deciding to take Butler's place, McCain tracks him down and arrests him for stealing a painting from an art gallery.
Posing as Bucky Butler, he meets Quiang who hires him as a limo driver to drive eccentric multi-billionaire, Forrest Blackwell to a theater. This impresses Quiang enough for Chase to meet Chan. In an alleyway, Chase meets Chan who hires him to steal a car from a rival.
After stealing the car to get in Chan's good graces, he is told to go to Quiang's limo shop because someone had broken in. While spying on the thief who was dressed as a ninja, McCain sees empty money bags from Vinnie Pappalardo's ice cream shop. After chasing down the thief, McCain finds out that the thief is none other than Natalia. She was looking in Quiang's office for evidence of where her dad disappeared to. Still rejecting Chase's offers to help, Natalia leaves Chase alone, depressed at not being able to help.
After letting it slip that McCain had observed the empty money bags from Pappalardo's, Chan reveals that Vinnie's right-hand man, Moe De Luca is being sentenced to imprisonment and that Vinnie would be happy with anyone who could help keep Moe out of prison.
Borrowing a prison transport truck from the police station, McCain picks up Moe from the courthouse and drives him to a hideout after evading police. Thankful for the help, Moe mentions that a shipment of color guns have come into LEGO City and that Vinnie wants to get his hands on the shipment, so sends Chase on a mission to steal the truck and deliver it to Vinnie.
Vinnie is happy with the shipment and gives McCain a color gun to help on a mission to steal a large emerald from the LEGO City Bank.
When Dunby finds out all the things that McCain has been doing while undercover, he is initially angered but is soon swayed by the fact that McCain is not investigating Rex Fury and is, instead, infiltrating the Chan Chuang/Vinnie Pappalardo criminal network to bring it down. Dunby sends Chase to get photographic evidence of Chan's key gang members in the process of committing crimes.
After doing so, these gang members are arrested, leaving Chan with only one person left that he trusts to help him: Chase McCain. He sends McCain to Apollo Island to steal a moon buggy (gaining an astronaut outfit along the way that can shoot a ray gun).
After stealing the moon buggy, McCain is called on again by Dunby to help save Forrest Blackwell from abductors. Scaling the rooftops, McCain saves Blackwell from the abductors and drives Blackwell to the police station.
He then receives a call from Natalia who is then captured in Chan's salvage yard. Infiltrating the salvage yard, he saves Natalia but Chan gets away. This angers Dunby who transfers McCain to Bluebell National Park's police station temporarily. McCain is joined there by Frank Honey (Whos there after failing to fix Dunby's sink).
The first task there is to rescue Jethro Hayes's escaped pigs. After rescuing the pigs (gaining a farmer outfit allowing him to shoot eggs at people and glide with a chicken), he receives a call from Vinnie telling him to steal a robotic Tyrannosaurus rex skeleton. Guessing that Rex Fury wants the T. rex skeleton, he agrees and steals the skeleton for Vinnie. During the process Dunby calls Chase and decide to let Chase back on the Fury case after Chase told him about the T-rex.
Once that task is completed, Vinnie says that his "private buyer" (for whom he's having Chase steal all of these items) wants a fire boat from the fire station. Going undercover as a fireman (gaining the fireman outfit), Chase steals the fireboat.
He then receives a call from Natalia accusing him of having police officers watch over her. As Chase did not set that up, he is confused and Natalia reveals that it isn't police officers watching her but men in black clothing who break into the hospital in which she's working. McCain uses all his undercover outfits to work his way through the hospital to save Natalia. Calling in a helicopter, McCain flies Natalia to Ellie's apartment which acts as a safe house (Ellie's big dog won't be of much help unless the baddies are allergic to him). Before they departed Natalia then apologizes to Chase for being a pain to him and that she knew that he didn't mean to reveal her identity, Chase accepts her apology.
Moe calls Chase because he's worried about Vinnie because he's meeting with the "private buyer". Scaling the rooftops he overhears the meeting between Vinnie and the "private buyer" who turns out to be Rex Fury. Vinnie is angered that Rex keeps asking for more and more things to be stolen and not getting paid for it. Undaunted, Rex tells Vinnie to steal more things.
Furious, Vinnie calls McCain to do a job of their own. Taking the fireboat (Along with Moe) into the tunnel leading Blackwell's mansion, Moe tells Chase that a while back Blackwell had wanted to build an apartment complex and shopping mall in Bluebell National Park and, after spending millions on building a new bridge and and other things, was stopped because a rare squirrel was found in the park. Scandalized, Blackwell had began to wall himself off from society.
McCain infiltrates the mansion and attempts to steal a jade falcon for Vinnie, but is stopped by men in black clothing whose names include "Sentinel 1" and "Sentinel 2" (an allusion to the "Matrix" movies), Blackwell's private security force. Escaping the Sentinels, Moe calls Chase to let him know that he hasn't heard from Vinnie in a while and he's worried.
Breaking into Pappalardo's ice cream shop, he finds that Rex's thugs have locked Vinnie in a walk-in freezer and blast freeze Vinnie. Rescuing Vinnie from the freezer, Vinnie sends McCain to find out why this happened. In the back factory room, McCain and Vinnie catch the person responsible. After getting him to reveal the next part of the plan, Rex wants a crane stolen.
McCain travels to a construction yard in place of the thug responsible for freezing Vinnie (gaining a construction yard outfit allowing Chase to jackhammer and destroy surrounding objects). Stealing the crane, Chase finds himself going to an observatory to steal a large telescope. The crane is used to place the telescope on a truck and he drives the telescope to a hidden base in Bluebell National Park. There, he finds Natalia's father being interrogated and forced by by Forrest Blackwell to a password of a device of his. He also discovered that Blackwell Kidnaps Natalia to get the password out of Henrik.
After saving Henrik (gaining a jetpack for the astronaut outfit), they travel to Blackwell's Mansion where they find a model of a moon colony Blackwell planned. They also discovered that the office tower that Blackwell owns is actually a rocketship in disguise. It's impending liftoff will destroy half of LEGO City.
Using special forcefields that Henrik developed, Chase is able to protect LEGO City from the effects of the liftoff of the Blackwell Tower rocket ship.
However, it is revealed that Natalia is with Blackwell in the rocket ship so Chase travels to the Moon (with the help of Henrik and Mayor Gleeson who is grateful for McCain's protection of LEGO City during the liftoff).
On the Moon, McCain infiltrates Blackwell's moon base and reprograms the navigation computer to send the rocket back to Earth. Blackwell then sends Rex to finish Chase off, but that fails and because of that Blackwell fires Rex. Blackwell then leaves them on the rocket and he causes the moon base to self destruct, only for Chase and Rex to survive the blast. On a piece of the wreckage, Rex Fury and Chase fight until Chase is able to arrest Rex. Although, Rex easily escapes the cuffs, they are interrupted by Blackwell in an escape pod. He shouts to Chase that he'll have his revenge on Chase before getting hit by a flying cow which causes the escape pod to fly off into space.
McCain falls to Planet Earth to get to the main deck of the rocket and save Natalia by activating parachutes. The deck lands safely on Planet Earth. The city then celebrates Chase's victory. Chase is initially dismayed that both Rex and Blackwell got away, but Dunby revealed that Rex crashed into a toilet and was put into custody (with the toilet still on his head).
Dunby offers Chase to have the honor to arrest Rex. But Chase says that Dunby can have it because there are some things more important than arrests, as he and Natalia are romantically holding hands, indicating that they're back together. Frank thought that Chase was talking about "video games" and everyone laughs. A Sentinel from earlier still attempting to catch up with Chase is caught as the picture irises out and he falls off-screen with a "Sentinel out!"
After being Reassigned to Antarctica because he revealed Natalia's anonymous witness identity to Rex Fury, he returns at the request of the Mayor due to Rex Fury's escape from prison. Chase will use and do anything in order to get close to the villain. Has a crush on Natalia.
- Absurd Phobia: French parrots. No, seriously.
- The Ace: He's good at pretty much everything from doing cool parkour stunts to fixing fuse boxes. And, of course, he's the best darned cop on the Lego City Police Force.
- And That's Terrible: Considers destroying sandcastles to be a very heinous crime.
- Awesome Mc Coolname: Let's be honest, Chase McCain is a really cool name.
- Clothes Make the Superman: His disguises enable him to use various skills. Lampshaded by Frank Honey in the remastered version's loading screen, as he notes that the Rex Fury disguises somehow "magically" give him the ability to use orange handles.
- Cowboy Cop: He's not afraid to break the law and work with gangsters in order to capture Rex Fury.
- Drives Like Crazy: He is acknowledged to be an absolutely terrible driver with no regard for traffic laws, likely reflecting the average player's own terrible driving skills (even if you normally somehow manage to drive fully within the law in free roam, missions will require you to break every law in the book). This is lampshaded frequently.
Old Quiang: Your complete lack of respect for traffic laws proves that you are an awful person and to be commended.
"He rebuilt my house when I destroyed my house when I was decorating my house. Did you know you're not supposed to rewire a bathtub?"
- When Chase finds him (and a horse) in the pool at his family's hotel.
- This happens offscreen while Chief Dunby tells Chase about an event outside Blackwell Tower they're at.
- Da Chief: He always had shades of this character type, being gruff, having a Hair-Trigger Temper, and sporting a rather nice mustache, but he only really counts as this following his promotion between The Chase Begins and Undercover.
- Donut Mess with a Cop: The giant stack of donuts Honey was bringing to the station? That was all for Dunby.
- Hair-Trigger Temper: He's almost always angry and it doesn't take much to set him off.
- Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Chief Dunby is a perpetually grumpy, glory-hogging jerk, but at the end of the day he's willing to admit when he's wrong and genuinely wants to make Lego City a safer place. Indeed, most of his hostility towards Chase seems to stem from the latter's bungling of original Rex Fury case rather than mindless malice.
- Mean Boss: On a nice day, he shouts at people and knocks reports over.
- Oh, Crap!: Whenever Mayor Gleeson is around, he tends to panic since his job basically relies on staying on her good side.
- American Accents: A very thick Southern accent.
- Canine Companion: She has one at home. Unfortunately, it's not an Evil-Detecting Dog because. he's allergic to criminals.
- Cloudcuckoolander's Minder: Plays this role with Honey, usually acting as a parental substitute for him. She occasionally compliments him on showing signs of learning from his many, many mistakes.
- Exposition Fairy: She's responsible for giving Chase most of the game's exposition, catching him up on events that happened while he was gone and explaining the Police Communicator's functions to him.
- Gadgeteer Genius: She provided Chase with his communicator, and provides upgrades for it as the game progresses.
- Hot Scientist: She's a tech genius and attractive. At least, according to Frank. It's hard to tell what with her being a LEGO Minifigure and all.
- Mission Control: Often serves this role when she's not dispensing upgrades for Chase's hardware, providing him information, logistical assistance and generally helping coordinate his manhunt for Rex.
- Only Sane Man: Amongst the LCPD staff, at least. Between Dunby's overt hostility and Frank being Frank, she's pretty much the only person Chase can rely on at HQ.
- Southern-Fried Genius: She has a Dixie accent, and she's the one who fills Chase in with all the intel he needs.
- Big Bad: The man you need to arrest who's supposedly behind Lego City's crime wave, at least until it turns out he's The Dragon for Blackwell. Becomes the genuine main villain for The Chase Begins prequel, though.
- Carpet of Virility: Rex is astonishingly hirsute for a man made of plastic.
- The Dragon: He turns out to be working for Forrest Blackwell.
- Dumb Muscle: Despite his impressive strength, he was rearrested very easily prior to Undercover due to using a lawnmower as an escape vehicle.
- Enfant Terrible: A criminal from the age of six.
- Gameplay and Story Integration: His strength is displayed in an early cutscene where after Chase manages to handcuff him, Rex simply destroys them easily.
- Handicapped Badass: Being half-blind does nothing to lessen his well-deserved reputation as a fearsome criminal.
- Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Even if you didn't know he was a criminal Rex Fury is the kind of name that sets off a ton of red flags.
- Red Right Hand: He has one blind eye.
- Super Strength: After clearing the game, all of his outfits can break yellow handles across all the levels and areas. Notable in that his outfits do have a gameplay mechanic unlike the other dozens of disguises ingame.
- Tattooed Crook: He wears an impressive red tattoo on his left arm.
- Walking Shirtless Scene: He's always showing off his bod until he gets clothes on during the last levels.
- Cool Old Guy: Like the character he's based on.
- Friend in the Black Market: Just like the character he's based on he serves the role of Albatross Island's resident Guy Who Knows how to Get Things. These include such things as a car and a hot tub (the latter of which is part of the reason he helps Chase since Rex owed him for it).
- Jail Bake: His typical MO for smuggling goods into the prison, if the elderly guard's comments are anything to go by. Sadly, one of the criminals he smuggles a car for doesn't realize he wasn't supposed to eat the cake before taking the car out first.
- Lampshade Hanging: One of his fellow inmates keeps mistaking him for a. ahem, certain famous actor, and keeps trying to make Actor Allusion comments. Blue is having none of it.
- Lawyer-Friendly Cameo: Of a somewhat famous actor, in a prominent role.
- Bad Boss: Would fire a man for getting too familiar with him, though he does regret it, considering it was his father.
- Faux Affably Evil: He tries speaking to people in a calm, polite voice, BUT THE SLIGHTEST MISTAKE WILL PROVOKE HIM INTO SHOUTING FURIOUSLY!
- Hair-Trigger Temper: Anything, up to and including NOTHING, can and will set him off.
- Large Ham: He is always talking calmly and composed, UNTIL SOME NINCOMPOOP FORCES HIM TO YELL BECAUSE OF THEIR STUPIDITY! YOU'RE FIRED! When he doesn't have anybody to yell at, he even goes out to the street to yell at people.
- Right-Hand Cat: Parodied, he has a rabbit that he strokes whenever he loses his temper. And that rabbit is also prone to attacking him.
- Suddenly Shouting: Whenever he loses his temper.
- The Triads and the Tongs: His gang, like everything else in Lego City, is a parody of this.
- Affably Evil: Unlike Chan, he's more easy-going to work with, genuinely loves his family, and only gets angry about things that deserve it.
- Bait-and-Switch: Frequently uses metaphors (usually euphemisms for death) that are actually literal, such as how a guy who used to work for him "bought the farm" even after he told him it was a bad investment.
- Cool and Unusual Punishment: Brain-freezing his captors. The remastered version does reveal that he performs standard mafia executions such as "concrete shoes".
- Death by Irony: Subverted. Chase manages to save him after he gets locked into his own freezer.
- Doting Parent: The first time he's introduced, we see him wearing a clown outfit because he was acting as one for his son's birthday.
- Even Evil Has Loved Ones: Unlike Chan who is such a jerk that he'd fire even his own father, Vinnie loves and cherishes his son, cousin Moe, and mother, and Chase gets in his good graces by helping out Moe.
- Even Evil Has Standards: Really isn't fond of Rex Fury and advises Chase against trying to meet him.
- Human Popsicle: He gets locked inside a freezer by Rex Fury's thugs , but luckily you rescue him from this.
- Karma Houdini: Despite Chan getting most likely imprisoned during Natalia's kidnapping, Vinnie avoids this altogether.
- Literally Shattered Lives: He literally falls apart after falling out of his freezer frozen solid. Luckily, since he lives in the self-aware LEGO universe, Death Is Cheap, albeit still chilled from the experience.
- Literal Metaphor: In a comedic subversion of the usual mafia boss lingo, Vinnie has a Running Gag of saying common Deadly Euphemisms while meaning them literally, such as a man "sleeping with the fishes" being reassigned to aquarium night watch, and a man that "bought the farm" simply making a bad monetary investment.
- Neighbourhood-Friendly Gangsters: A lot friendlier than Chan, by a long stretch.
- Pie in the Face: Does this with a plate full of ice cream to one of Rex Fury's gang leaders after he asks for sprinkles with his "punishment".
- Shout-Out: The scene where we find he's dressed as a clown, he's asking one of his men whether he thinks he's funny.
- Spanner in the Works: Vinnie's attempted robbery of Forrest Blackwell's mansion. This causes Rex Fury's thugs to turn against him and lock him within his own parlor's freezer. The problem is that Vinnie genuinely had no idea Blackwell was connected to Fury; he just wanted to blow off some frustration and had no idea why Fury turned on him over this. This sudden betrayal eventually results in Chase discovering Blackwell's direct involvement.
- Affably Evil: Like his cousin, he's a rather nice and polite guy. According to Ellie, he's not even technically a criminal aside from his unpaid parking tickets and association with Vinnie.
- The Dragon: He's supposedly Vinnie's right hand man.
- Justice by Other Legal Means: He was sentenced to eight years' imprisonment for. countless unpaid parking tickets, not for stealing items for Vinnie.
- Literal-Minded: Seems to share Vinnie's habit of using metaphors literally, stating that he can do his prison sentence standing on his head thanks to his circus training.
- Sibling Rivalry: When giving his brother's car to Chase, Moe adds that he doesn't like his brother, so Chase can feel free to damage it.

Butler: Give Mr. Blackwell some privacy. He merely wishes to go somewhere mysterious for secretive reasons he doesn't want you to know about.
LEGO City Undercover is a Wide-Open Sandbox game developed by Traveller's Tales, released for the Wii U in 2013 and the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and Microsoft Windows (via Steam) in April 2017. Utilizing the same engine as the LEGO Adaptation Games but, rather than being an adaptation of a famous franchise, is based on LEGO's own original theme, LEGO City with a healthy side helping of Cop Show parody. The game follows the adventures of Chase McCain in his various undercover missions for the LEGO City P.D. and his attempts to track down his archrival Rex Fury, who has recently broken out of prison.
The game made use of the Wii U GamePad in order to mimic using Chase's Police Communicator. The GamePad would function as the game's map and when using the Communicator's scanning function, the player would hold the GamePad up to the TV and physically move it around. This feature was removed from the subsequent re-release since they all lacked a GamePad and all of the features were moved on-screen.
A prequel game, LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins, was released for the Nintendo 3DS a month after the first game's original release.
Like most LEGO games, there is a great deal of tongue-in-cheek humor, along with a Hurricane of Puns, a lot of Shout-Outs, some Mythology Gags and. car theft?
LEGO City Undercover contains the following tropes:
- Adapted Out: Obviously, all major Nintendo references were removed in the non-Nintendo ports of the game, with only a few subtle and stray ones left in such as Chase's quip about a giant ape being on top of a familiar structure. The one Nintendo-related Easter Egg which didn't even return for the Switch re-release was the Mario Hat Red Brick.
- Added Alliterative Appeal:
- Bucky Butler.
- Chan Chuang.
- Pete Peterson, the fake name that Chase comes up with in order to join the fire department.
- Numerous minor characters that double as costumes, i.e. Pat Patterson, Grubby Grubster and more.
- Rex's Riot, a heavy vehicle.
- Two districts: Blackwell Bridge and King's Court.
- Scrapyard Scrap, the special assignment set in Chan's salvage yard.
- The Herbert Hotel.
- The Gang Arrest mission in the Fresco district is referred to as the "Fresco Felon Fracas".
- As usual for LEGO games, the Red Brick Extras that aren't silly Easter Eggs exist to make things a whole lot simpler and easier for getting collectibles and completing sidequests, like the stud multipliers, currency magnets, and "super" ability upgrades. In particular, the "Unlimited Dynamite" and "Super Color Gun" extras really help with removing the annoyance of looking for dynamite vendors and color switches, though in an understandable Obvious Rule Patch the infinite dynamite is disabled for special assignments to prevent things from getting too easy.
- Due to all the comedic Red Herring conversations being Permanently Missable Content, the conversation you need to listen to in order to continue the story will always be scrambled, allowing you to check all the other ones at your leisure first.
- After enough players experienced Guide Dang It! towards the ATM destruction sidequest on the Wii U, the remastered version for all systems added a loading screen explanation that states how the Criminal suit is required to break them.
- Implied in one conversation when Chase and Frank are riding horses and Chase has to tell Frank that he's riding backwards.
- Also implied to have happened to Frank when he mentions trying to imitate Studski and Clutch's signature move of sliding across their cars hood on a loading screen. When he tried it, his car lost its hood ornament and now he sets off the metal detectors at airports.
- One Red Herring conversation has a patron at the Library ask an employee help them get a book unstuck from his butt after he accidentally sat on it.
- Almost all of the Red Herring conversations heard using the communicator's Audio Scanner run on this.
- Just about every other thing Vinnie Pappalardo says is some kind of stereotypical gangster Deadly Euphemism - except that everything Vinnie says he means literally.
- In one of the cutscenes on Albatross Island (Lego City's Alcatraz stand-in), a prisoner is seen trying to escape the prison by floating on balloons. By the end of the game the man has reached the moon .
- Also on Albatross Island, Chase begins playing opera loudly in the Warden's office, causing its speakers to explode. Later, Chase needs to repair a DJ's broken system, and the DJ laments that he should never have played opera on it.
- One of Blackwell's guards starts chasing Chase on a bicycle (while the latter darts away on a motorcycle). During the epilogue, he's finally almost reached him.
- On the title screen, after the clowns bust out of the police transport, one of them drives off in a blue car. After the credits, in the scene where the "Traveler's Tales Fusion" logo builds itself in the middle of the street, the same clown in the same car can be seen driving around.
Chase: Am I glad I remembered to pack my parachute today! Although. some spare pants would've been handy, too.
- In a possible call back to LEGO Island, the game uses almost the exactsameLiteral-Minded joke as the first LEGO Island game.
- Another possible callback to Lego Island 2 is that: both games culminate in the protagonist going into space to confront the villain, resulting in said villain being trapped in space due to a mishap. During both space sequences, a portion of gameplay is dedicated to skydiving through rings, and both sequences contain a Shout-Out to 2001: A Space Odyssey (The Monolith in Lego Island 2, and a man drifting through space as classical music plays in Lego City Undercover) .
- During the first part of the game, for no apparent reason, a gardener just so happens to come along and water some plants that are in front of fence that is too high for Chase to surmount. One of the plants grows large enough that Chase is able to climb it and get over the fence. The gardener lampshades this himself, stating that he came a long way just to water some stranger's plants.
- Upon starting the investigation of the optional crimes via Audio transmissions, Chase will always hear the perpetrators at the beginning of the conversation about the crime they're about to commit.
- In some places, doing certain things will make Chase say something. The earliest seems to be in Warden Stonewall's office. Paraphrased is the following.
Chase (After destroying every possible thing in Warden Stonewall's office): Wow, I can't believe all that noise I just made didn't get his attention.
- Chase will correctly comment of the state of the slide if you destroy it before he finishes his comment on the fact that Forrest Blackwell has a private playground.
- After you steal a vehicle on Chan's orders from his rivals in Paradise Sands, he will comment on the state of the vehicle. If you damage it even slightly * as in one heart of vehicle damage , he'll still consider your performance better than that of his usual guy. who he promptly fires.
- If you manage to flip your vehicle completely, Chase will ask why the world is upside-down.
- At one point, Natalia calls to chew Chase out over having police keep an eye on her, which he knows nothing about. She describes them as smartly dressed for cops, with a black van and an unmarked limo, and. they aren't cops, are they.
- Done again when halfway through explaining how Forrest Blackwell is petting a cat, Ellie realizes he has to be evil based on that fact.
- When Chase and Heinrich find Blackwell's moonbase model in his mansion, Chase wonders how Blackwell can pull this off since the shuttle on Apollo Island isn't big enough for his cronies. He then looks at the uniquely-shaped rocket in the model and wonders where Blackwell could've hidden it. This kicks in when he remembers that there's a countdown at Blackwell Tower, and that he realises that he's seen the rocket before as it's nearly the same shape as the tower.
- The two Mafias in the game aren't as incompetent as some instances of the trope, but they don't pose any kind of threat to anyone's life.
- Also applies to the local hoodlums at Vinnie Pappalardo's ice-cream parlour- Tony One-Time, who only says anything once: Paulie Blindfolds, who wears a blindfold and says he "can't see someone today": Lucky Pete, who initially appears to have an Ironic Name, because he falls down a staircase, but then finds a penny on the floor: the Crayfish Twins (possibly named after the Kray twins), two sapient crustaceans who are horrified when one of Vinnie's waitresses serves them a lobster dinner: and Mikey Spoilers, who tells Chase about a secret item he can unlock at the space station .
Heywood: Uh, are you free, man?
Blue: (surprised) No! No, I am not Freeman. (looks around) His lawyers might be watchin'.- Near the end of the game, Chase asks Natalia's father on how to describe his force field generator so that "little kids" could understand it.
- The Wii U GamePad is the communicator.
- While the game doesn't load super-frequently, whenever it does it takes quite a while to finish.
- This happens In-Universe as well, since Chase at the beginning of the game has to wait for a few minutes for his Police tracker to update, complaining about progress bars.
- Not even 15 minutes into the game. The following is paraphrased.
- As a construction worker, Chase can fix fuse boxes by hitting them a few times with a hammer. Unlike Frank's aforementioned shenanigans, this actually works.
- Sherlock Holmes appears under the name of "Doorluck Homes". He's also apparently friends with "Dr. Whatsit".
- The LCPD is practically staffed with them, including undercover specialists Studski and Clutch, and the eternally high-strung gravelly-voiced Shaky Harry.
- The Sentinels, personal security detail of Forrest Blackwell , are dead ringers for The Agents from The Matrix.
- Another Matrix reference is the Kung-Fu training cutscene which is a dead ringer for the "I Know Kung-Fu" scene from the first movie. Once you complete the level that follows it, most of Chase's moves (especially his finishing moves) heavily resemble one's from The Matrix.
- The above mentioned cutscene also ends with a Street Fighter style K.O. sound effect.
- A whole mission based off The Shawshank Redemption, complete with a nod to "Free Man" (not now, his lawyers might be watching)
- Several Shoutouts to the Super Mario Bros. franchise are included as the result of Nintendo being publisher. Look out for coin boxes, a Starman, and Cheep-cheeps. note Many of which were removed in the non-Nintendo ports.
- During the final level, Rex's T-Rex is defeated in a manner similar to Bowser in Super Mario 64, by grabbing its tail and then throwing it at the explosive energy tanks around the room .
Chase: (looking down after using the grappling hook to climb a building) Good thing I don't have vertigo or some kind of ridiculous phobia.
(cue a cute little parrot landing next to him)
Parrot: Brawk! Bonjour!
Chase: AHHH! FRENCH PARROTS! (faints)![]()
The Civilian class has the most disguises by far and includes pretty much every character you’d see walking around LEGO City. However, the civilian class does not have any abilities. This class is for show (in case you really want to dress like a clown or an alien), as they can’t break into locked doors, use grapple points, teleport, or any of the other fun stuff that other classes can do.
There are eight classes in LEGO City Undercover: Civilian, Police, Robber, Miner, Astronaut, Farmer, Fireman, and Construction. Below is an excerpt from the official LEGO City Undercover guide detailing the disguises found in the Civilian class:
Disguises: 47
