The Toa Metru Mini Promo CDs were mini CD-ROMs packaged with special releases of the Toa Metru canisters in 2004. For a time, the content could be downloaded directly from BIONICLE.com's Kanoka Club, although that option was later removed. Furthermore, the content has become incompatible with some of the new operating systems and versions of shockwave flash.

Each CD chronicled its corresponding Toa's search for the missing Great Disk Matoran with interactive gameplay. Players advanced from screen to screen by solving sliding tile and memory puzzles, information learned from conversations with Matoran, and other activities. At a certain point in each CD, a mini-movie, featuring the Toa Metru in action and relevant to the storyline, would play. Players were able to monitor their progress with the help of small circular icons that would light up when a screen was completed.

Once the storyline content of the CD was completed, a final screen appeared which presented the option to play the mini-movie again or to restart gameplay. This screen also contained advertisements for BIONICLE: The Game, BIONICLE: Mask of Light, BIONICLE 2: Legends of Metru Nui, and BIONICLE.com. When the advertisements on the final screen were accessed, each linked to the 2004 Storyline page on BIONICLE.com.

The stories for the promo CDs were written by Greg Farshtey.[1] Many of the Matoran who appear in these CDs are derived from Mata Nui Online Game II: The Final Chronicle.

Content

Dangerous plants called Morbuzakh are threatening to wreck the city of Metru Nui. The Toa must find six incredibly powerful Great Disks if they wish to save their home. But the only Matoran who know where the disks can be found have disappeared as well.
