Speed Inferno Challenge
Theme: Racers Type: Road The player must race against three other vehicles. The player loses if they come last. The player must follow the yellow arrows. Winning players may receive 1 Racing Trophies, up to a maximum of 10 Racing Trophies. (If user has the beta testing racers badge he/she can get 11.)

Infestation
Theme: Agents Type: Road The player must shoot several High Speed Jeeps to win the mission. The vehicle has a certain amount of shielding, and after being hit too many times, the player loses. The player may receive an Agent's Dossier after winning the mission.

Towing the Line
Theme: City Type: Road The player must tow a vehicle (Front-End Loader, Police Van, Firetruck, or an Ambulance). After reaching it, press the space bar to attach it, then transport it to the garage. After the player takes control of the repaired vehicle, the player must drive to its destination. The player may receive a Hardhat after winning the game.

The roadblocks are lifted after the above missions are completed successfully.

Outriders Challenge
Theme: Racers Type: Road The player must race against three other vehicles on a different circuit. The player must follow the arrows. The player loses if they come last (fourth).

Battle for the Skies
Theme: Agents Type: Sky The player must shoot four Inferno Choppers to win the mission. The flying vehicle has a certain amount of shielding, and after being hit too many times, the player loses.

Crane Quest
Theme: City Type: Sky The player must find three crane pieces scattered around the city. Then these pieces have to be towed to the crane. If the Battle for the Skies level has not been played, a slime chopper will keep you from getting those pieces. There is a glitch in this challenge where you will be offered an MLN reward but cannot receive it.

The Fall of the Robot level is unlocked after all of the above levels are completed successfully.

The Fall of the Robot
Theme: Agents/Racers

Type: Road

The player must drive fast along the raceway to lead the Robot into a trap hole. The player must drive to each yellow arrow before the Robot touches it. If the Robot touches a yellow arrow, the player loses. Pressing space can help you boost away from the robot. After leading the robot into the trap hole, you should receive the Keys to LEGO City Badge blueprint. This level is usually difficult since the vehicle is very fast, and you have to maintain a certain pace for a long time.

Other Mini Games
These are other mini games playable by users. Completing these will not reward users on MLN.


 * Police: The player must have the Police Van or unlock either the Police Helicopter or the Police Monster Truck unlocked to play. The goal is to find and capture an "Illegal Racer" by ramming the Racer, or using the Helicopter, to tow it in to damaging it.
 * Ambulance: The player must have the Ambulance vehicle unlocked to play. The goal is to find a crashed car. When the car is touched, the player must drive the Ambulance to the hospital. The crashed car just drives on.
 * Fire: The player must have the Firetruck unlocked to play. The goal is to put out a fire. The player must drive to a burning building and put it out by pressing and holding the space bar.
 * City: The player must have the Front-End Loader unlocked to play. There is no real goal in this game, the player only repairs damaged roads by driving on them. They earn Studs by doing so and after 5000 cracks are repaired the Recycle Van vehicle is unlocked.
 * Inferno: The player must have the robot unlocked to play. There really isn't a goal in the game. The player only crushes buildings by bumping them, setting buildings on fire by holding space in front of them, hitting cars and vehicles, and sometimes destroying Agent vehicles. They all give you studs (except setting buildings on fire). They're all kinds of destruction.

Questions and Answers

 * Q: Help! This game is too hard!
 * A: You can type in different Codes to make the game slightly easier.


 * Q: Help! I am in a mission and stuck in a fence and I can't get out! Is there a way to get out of it without exiting the mission and losing my achievements?
 * A: Yes. Type a special code into the cheat code box, you will be able to go through any object and over water.


 * Q: How can I win at the Racing Challenges with a slow car?
 * A: Pressing the space bar will activate the speed booster. Only use this on the straight roads, as steering is disabled while the booster is in use.


 * Q: I played the games which give me the MLN Items, but I cannot get any more! What shall I do?
 * A: There are still some glitches in the game that cause it to to stop giving out Items. Some players believe that towing Firetrucks will cause this to happen. Recent updates have made it possible to receive more than 10 Hardhats and Dossiers allowing the player to purchase the Stickers on the Networkers' pages. Racing Trophies are still limited to 11 for most (but not all) players.


 * Q: How do I unlock the Recycle Truck faster?
 * A: The Recycle Truck is unlocked after repairing 5000 cracks in the road. Skid marks in the road count as cracks. Create skid marks with any vehicle, the racer vehicles are really good at this. Then drive over the skid marks with the Front-End Loader. The Recycle Truck will be unlocked in no time.
 * A2: Alternatively, progress through the story until the Robot is rampaging through the streets. Everywhere it goes will create skids and cracks. You just have to clean up after it!


 * Q: How do I get through the roadblocks?
 * A: To open the roadblocks, complete the Infestation, Towing the Line, and Speed Inferno Challenge missions at least once.


 * Q: How do you start the Fall of the Robot mission?
 * A: You can only get it after beating the Crane Quest mission. After which, the little inlet inside the speed inferno challenge course will have a yellow circle (not possible while racing, towing, etc.) this will be the Fall of the Robot mission.


 * Q: Help! I can't win the 'Fall of the Robot' mission!
 * A: You can use the code that allows you to switch to another vehicle and switch to Doctor Inferno's High Speed Jeep. (Get it by winning the Speed Inferno Challenge.)


 * Q: I already defeated the Robot, but suddenly he is there again! What happened?
 * A: Replaying the Battle in the Skies, Crane Quest, or Outriders Challenge missions will release the Robot again.


 * Q: Does replaying Battle in the Skies, Crane Quest, or Outriders Challenge bring back the robot temporarily or permanently?
 * A: No, you can get rid of the robot by playing Fall of the Robot again.


 * Q: I cannot finish the game with 100% even though I've unlocked every vehicle except for the Robot!'
 * A: Every vehicle must be used in a mission at least once to get 100%. Simply unlocking the vehicle does not count.


 * Q: I just finished the game; now what?
 * A: Some secret MLN rewards are hidden in the city&mdash;look around!

Glitches

 * After the game is 100% completed, some special MLN rewards are hidden in the city. When one is found, Dr Inferno or Peelie Wheelie will reward the player with 10 or 3 Clippings, respectively. When receiving the reward for the final secret, in the place of "My Lego Network" button is a "." button, which links to a nonexistent link: http://cache.lego.com/flash/robotChronicles/0.3.1/-
 * While players can obtain an unlimited amount of Agent's Dossiers or Hardhats, the majority of players cannot obtain more than 11 Racing Trophies. It is currently unknown why, but the message players receive in the game when they collect their reward is also messed up, with only a few words still able to be seen, the rest of the message blank. The mail message in MLN is intact; however, instead of obtaining 3 Clippings (or 1 Clipping and 1 Racing Trophy) players obtain only 1 Clipping.
 * When a player enters the Infestation or Battle for the Skies mission and uses the code to turn into one Dr. Inferno's forces, they will then immediately win the mission. This also applies for the Towing the Line mission and turning into a racer or one of the vehicles you can actually tow.
 * There is a rare chance that when winning one race, users will get 3 Racing Trophies.

Codes
When playing the game, there is a box on the bottom right under the notifications area. Type the code in there. The following codes are below:


 * - Makes vehicles smaller.
 * - Slows enemies to 75%
 * - Shields 3x
 * - Allows you to become any vehicle you unlocked (even during a mission!).
 * - Makes you go though stuff.
 * Allows to turn while staying still.
 * - Resets all codes.
