Loot

A true pirate knows there's loot to be had everywhere, look alive and keep your eyes open for:

• LEGO STUDS - Can be found scattered throughout LEGO® Pirates of the Caribbean. Collect them and spend them later in the Port. Collect enough in a level and you will be hailed a true pirate!
• GOLD BRICKS - Are earned after completing levels in Story Mode and reaching certain goals, like being hailed a true pirate. Earn enough Gold Bricks to access other areas in the Port and unlock special features.
• RED HATS - Unlock special extras, such as stud multipliers and special abilities; they can be found and purchased in the Port. To activate a Red Hat during game play, open the Pause Menu and select Extras.
• MINI-KIT - 10 pieces in each level. Once built, they can be captained in any discovered bonus levels.

NOTE: There will be items visible in Story Mode that may not be accessible until the chapter is replayed in Free Play mode using the abilities of a specific character.
