## Behind the Scenes

* Had the game not included any combat (although combat only occurs in imagined or fiction-based scenarios) or visible feces, it would have been rated E and PEGI 3.
* Levels based on Brendan’s high school years were initially planned for a sequel game, LEGO High School, but they were added to the first game.

## Tropes

* Creator’s Pet: The year 2016 has at least 10 levels (Finn Army: Dogfight may or may not have been imagined in 2015).
* Pragmatic Adaptation: Some characters were invented for co-op (Idiot Robert Jacob) or gameplay in general (the Sand King and Queen). Many of the imagined scenarios and those that adapt other media are also heavily tweaked for gameplay.
* The Theme Park Version: Not every moment of Brendan’s life is adapted in the game, just some of the ones that he remembers fondly. There’s also the growth of his character; Brendan starts with short legs in preschool and has them through sixth grade (Brendan was below 4 feet in preschool and at least 5 feet by the end of sixth grade). He has mid-sized legs for the rest of the middle school campaign, even though he had a considerable growth spurt near the end of seventh grade.
* What Could Have Been: Brendan would’ve gained a “Suicide“ ability in fifth or sixth grade that would allow the character to strangle himself to death. The ability was removed because Brendan hasn’t killed himself, as well as the fact that the ability doesn’t fit with many of the others in the game (killing your character doesn’t seem like something that would solve in-game puzzles).
