* ''BIONICLE Adventures'': While the Matoran prepare to return to Metru Nui, tales are told of when Mata Nui fell asleep, showing how Metru Nui became lost. Each half included a movie, ''Legends of Metru Nui'' and ''Web of Shadows''.

** In ''Legends of Metru Nui'', Vakama indicates Toa Lhikan's spirit star in the night sky; as long as his star remains in the sky, Toa Lhikan lives. At the end of the film when Lhikan is killed, the star splits into six to represent the Toa Metru, affirming their status as Toa.

* AdaptationInducedPlotHole: Makuta! Dume manages to frame The Toa Metru as imposters in ''Legends of Metru Nui'' by demanding that they prove themselves as Toa, which they subsequently fail hard at due to having no idea how to use their powers (having just got them). This makes less sense in the comic version though (where the scene takes place between issues), due to the Toa Metru only revealing themselves to the public after slaying the Morbuzakh and saving Metru Nui from it. Making it a bit of a mystery how he managed to convince the public that they where imposters.

** Vakama in ''Legends of Metru Nui'' after Toa Lhikan is captured.
** Makuta does this twice in ''Legends of Metru Nui''; first when Vakama shoots the Mask of Time out of his hands and causes it to fall into the sea, and second when he pulls a heavy rock towards him... and getting smashed against the wall behind him by the rock's mass.

** Done in ''Legends of Metru Nui'', such as Nuju using his Crystal Spikes in stopping his fall on a Knowledge Tower and Nokama with her Hydro Blades in the Coliseum, and again with Matau and his Aero Slicers in the chute.

** Several Matoran who had a prominent role in ''[[WesternAnimation/BionicleMaskOfLight Mask of Light]]'' have cameos in ''Legends of Metru Nui''; Takua, Jaller, and Hahli appear near the end, and Hewkii can be seen in the Coliseum.
** As the novelization of ''Legends of Metru Nui'' confirms, the Le-Matoran Nidhiki and Krekka order to reverse the directions of the chutes is none other than Kongu, albeit with a different mask.
* CanonDiscontinuity: At one point in ''Legends of Metru Nui'', Matau mentions planning to have a "romantic ride-drive" with Nokama. This has been confirmed to be non-canon, as romance in the human sense does not exist in the universe.

* {{Engrish}}: A very odd example in ''Legends of Metru Nui'' when the Toa release the Matoran from their capsules. Despite being written out in the Matoran Language, the lettering on one of the capsules roughly translates out to ''capsue'' in English.

* InTheFutureWeStillHaveRoombas: Fire Drones from ''Legends of Metru Nui''.

* MistakenForQuake: ''BIONICLE 2: Legends of Metru Nui'' has Toa Vakama mistaking a rampaging herd of Kikanalo (big rhinoceros-like Rahi) for a "bio-quake."

* PlotTailoredToTheParty: ''Legends of Metru Nui'', as the Toa Metru discover their mask powers

* ShipTease: Matau comments to Nokama that the Vahki carrier they're on would make for great romantic rides together in ''Legends of Metru Nui''.

One very notable aspect of the story-line was that all of the comics and nearly all of the books and web material were written by one man: Greg Farshtey. Throughout ''BIONICLE'''s entire run, he kept in close contact with the fans, particularly the surprisingly large fan site Website/BZPower (check it out [[http://www.bzpower.com here]]). [[WordOfGod He answered questions]], dropped hints about upcoming storylines, and stayed commendably dedicated to his work for all ten years it ran. Likewise, ''BIONICLE'' continues to inspire a very passionate following that keeps its legacy alive with several [[FanWorks/{{Bionicle}} fan projects]] that are about as wide and varied as its original multimedia blitz.
