There are a number of fantastic landmarks to find, including the central skyscraper from the second movie, the Clamp tower (a rather interesting parody of the current President-elect by the way). Scattered throughout the environment you’ll also find many of the key characters from the movies, some of which are ready with themed quests and missions inspired by the big-screen adventures. There’s actually quite a lot to keep you occupied here, and as I’ve already said, the attention to detail is immense to the point that a number of the jokes will go unnoticed if it’s been a while since you’ve seen the movies.

The Elemental Keystone gives characters the abilities to spray fire, water, electricity, and whatever one sprays (other than water) to make things grow (fertilizer?). Which ability a character receives depends on which section of the Toy Pad their minifigure is placed on. The red section of the Toy Pad gives the fire ability, the dark blue section gives the water ability, the light blue section gives the electricity ability, and the green section the plant growing ability. Only three of these options will be available at any one time. Place the active character on the desired section of the Toy Pad, then use the reticule to aim at a target, then press the correct controller button to spray at the target.

There was a reference about Gremlins from The Goonies, when Chunk attempts to call the Sheriff for help, but he assumes that it's another prank call like "the creatures that multiply when you throw water on them". Despite a little disappointment that a fully-fledged level won’t be released for the franchise, the minute I entered the franchise world it was clear that this was designed by someone who had a strong love for the two movies. The world is split between the small town from the original movie and the big city from its sequel, with every inch of space used for references to both movies and a couple of in-jokes thrown in for good measure.
