Help Doc Brown prepare for the lightning strike

This chapter provides details on solving the Back to the Future bonus level that becomes available with the Back to the Future Level Pack containing Marty McFly, the DeLorean, and the hoverboard.

There are some shelves and a jukebox on the left side of the workshop. They all have glass that can be broken by pressing X to play Marty’s guitar really loudly! Use the LJ to direct the sound waves and use the bouncing blocks from the destroyed shelves to continue repairing the large speaker.

Change to Marty and stand to the left of the workshop (beneath the moose head) and press B to get the instructions to build the hoverboard. The hoverboard follows Marty, so climb to the top-left corner of the workshop and press Y to ride the hoverboard to the far-right corner (Figure 31.1).

FIGURE 31.1 The hoverboard is useful for crossing gaps between platforms.

Push the white box off the edge, and then jump down. Use the bouncing parts from the broken box to build a handle. Press B to pull it, and the robot opens the shades on the window before exploding. Use its parts to finish repairing the speaker.

Move Marty to the front of the speaker and press B to start playing his guitar. After knocking over some stacks, Doc Brown calls Marty and asks Marty to bring his camera and meet him at Twin Pines Mall.

Doc Brown arrives at the mall, and it’s time to build Doc’s time machine DeLorean! Follow the onscreen instructions to build the vehicle.

Once the time machine is built, the Libyans attack Doc Brown. He gets hit by a baseball, and it’s up to Marty to go back in time and rescue Doc. Before heading back in time, use the Game Save tool to the left to save your progress.

Hit the phone booth and the two nearby boxes and other items near Doc’s truck with a blast from Marty’s guitar (X). Use the bouncing parts to build a handle that you can push to open the back of Doc’s truck. Inside find another pane of glass. Hit it with Marty’s guitar (X) and use the bouncing parts stored inside to build a boost pad.

Jump in the DeLorean and drive onto the boost pad (Figure 31.2) to launch the vehicle into Doc Brown’s equipment to create some bouncing pieces. You’ll also need to destroy the shopping carts for more bouncing pieces; this requires a character who can destroy silver LEGO such as the Wicked Witch. The Libyans’ van jumps over the bushes to attack, tossing explosive bananas.

FIGURE 31.2 Drive onto the Boost Pad to destroy some equipment to save Doc.

Change to Gandalf and use his Magic on the bouncing pieces to build an accelerator switch (Figure 31.3). Drive the DeLorean onto the switch, and Marty and the heroes travel back in time.

FIGURE 31.3 This accelerator switch sends you back to the past.

Marty and the heroes are stuck inside a barn and must find a way out. Destroy some crates against the back wall, and use the bouncing parts to build a ladder that allows Marty to climb up to a higher level.

Have Gandalf jump on the hoverboard and move to the right (LJ), to another walkway. Move behind the brown box and push it on the track until it falls off the walkway to the ground below.

Move Gandalf down to the ground and use his Magic on the bouncing parts to build a boost pad. Get in the DeLorean vehicle and drive onto the pad to burst out of the barn and head to Doc Brown’s house.

Doc watches video footage of the events and figures out he needs the power from a lightning bolt to channel power to the DeLorean to send Marty back home...to the future.

On the streets of downtown Hill Valley, three cable plugs must be connected (Figure 31.4) to power the accelerator pad. There’s also a Game Save tool here, so use it if you want to save your progress.

FIGURE 31.4 Three cables must be connected to send Marty home.

Push the first cable on the checkered track until it makes a connection. (This cable is located in front of the LOAN sign on the main street. The other two cables are up high on building roofs.)

Next, have Marty hit the glass behind Doc’s red vehicle with a blast from his guitar (X). Use the parts left over to build a handle that must be pushed to open the red-striped awning (Figure 31.5).

FIGURE 31.5 This handle helps you get to the rooftops.

Change to any character and jump on top of Doc’s red car. Bounce high and jump onto the red-striped awning. Use LJ and A to jump up onto the roof. Hit the ladder to the left, and the other heroes can climb up. Destroy some boxes near the track and use those parts to repair the checkered track, and then push the second power plug into place.

Don’t jump down from the roof. Instead, move to the right and look for some blue handles on the wall. Change to Marty and use the hoverboard to cross the space (from right to left) between the two raised platforms, and then jump up to the next level of roof to make the final plug connection.

Destroy the various objects on the roof to reveal more bouncing pieces that can be used to repair (B) the track. Have Marty use his guitar (X) to blast out the glass door on the rear corner of the roof. Use the parts to build the final plug (Figure 31.6) and push it into place.

FIGURE 31.6 You need Marty’s guitar for the final cable.

A lightning bolt hits the clock tower, and the electricity finds its way down to the accelerator switch. Jump down to the streets, get in the DeLorean, and hit 88mph on the accelerator switch.

Marty and the heroes return to Hill Valley, but are they too late to save Doc? Apparently Doc Brown got Marty’s warning about the future and brought a glove to catch that dangerous baseball!
