- Gillette doesn't appear in the game at all, although he is a playable character only in the handheld version of the game.

- Jack is not knocked out by Mr. Brown, but he lands in Norrington's arms.
- Ragetti is first seen on Pintel's shoulders.

- The mill wheel has a horizontal platform in the middle.
- Broondjongen and Angler are given more recurring roles in the PC and console versions of the game, for example they are among the Dutchman crewmembers on the Isla Cruces since Palifico, Greenbeard and Ogilvey are not in the game. Wheelback is also not present at Isla Cruces in the game.
- Davy Jones' heart looks like a collectible heart with his hat instead of an organic heart. This change is understandable however, as the game is kid-friendly.
- Hadras' head is knocked of by the mill running him over instead of Jack throwing a coconut at him and his head is also placed in the Dead Man's Chest after Jack takes the heart out.

- Even after the bottle landed on Jack, he spun it again so it could land on Elizabeth.
- Will attempted to get to the meeting by swimming to Shipwreck Cove after Jack pushed him from the Pearl (therefore, he never met with Becket and was too late to make it to Shipwreck Cove on time).
- The meeting with Beckett, Will and Davy Jones on the Endeavor is omitted.
- In the meeting on the spit of land, the parley is settled through a game of rock paper scissors between all participants.
- Ragetti accidentally spills the cup holding pieces of eight. He also uses a backup wooden eye instead of an eyepatch in the PC and Console versions of the game.

- Angelica (disguised as Jack Sparrow) wears a face hider, with a nose, mustache and glasses.
- The court scene is omitted, with Jack Sparrow and Joshamee Gibbs already in a paddy wagon.
- Gibbs accompanies Jack to St. James's Palace. This was done to make the level more co-op friendly.
- When Gibbs and Jack escape from the palace, Jack takes a piece of chicken instead of a creme puff.
- Scrum helps Jack take out Angelica in the Captain's Daughter. This was done to make the level more co-op friendly.
- Angelica has henchmen to attack Jack.

- Philip is gagged while tied to the ship's mast.
- In a flashback montage, Angelica grows up with Blackbeard, who is depicted wearing a tricorne similar to Davy Jones' hat. Blackbeard also wields his sword and yells at full-sized ships to turn them into ships in bottles. The Quartermaster presents the prophecy of Blackbeard's death by a "one-legged man" through a giant ball. It is Angelica who suggests using the Fountain of Youth. The Profane Ritual usage of a mermaid's tear and the Chalices of Cartagena being shown, suggesting information Angelica already knew prior to stealing the book from the Spanish.
- However, some backstories are different as detailed in the film and related material. Angelica grows up in a Spanish convent and returns to Blackbeard at some point later in time. Also, Angelica learned about the ritual by trading the ring (given to her by Jack) to Tia Dalma prior to Dead Man's Chest, so it would be there for Jack to steal, suggesting that Angelica was plotting her assault on the Fountain for some time. It is unknown exactly how Blackbeard magicked full-sized vessels into ships in bottles, including the later-revealed Black Pearl, or even if the Sword of Triton was involved in his methods.
- Jack wears his hat and coat briefly aboard the Queen Anne's Revenge, though they were presumed lost in the film.
- In the mutiny on the Queen Anne's Revenge, Jack only recruits Garheng, Salaman and the Cook.

- Ezekiel and the Cabin Boy are omitted from the story in the PC and console versions of the game, but they are playable in the handheld versions only.

According to the film's screenplay and other promotional material, the Cook was killed by Greek fire and turned into a zombie. It was confirmed that the rituals required and practiced to create zombies are separate from the sword.
- Philip sings, attracting the attention of a parrot, shark, turtle, and Syrena.
- The scene with Jack and Angelica dancing on the deck of the Queen Anne's Revenge is omitted. Instead, they go into Blackbeard's cabin, where Angelica asks Jack to read a book about the Fountain of Youth but Jack refuses and Angelica walks towards him in a flirty manner and pushes him into the room with Blackbeard's collection of conquered ships in bottles. "Jack" the Monkey is not revealed inside the Black Pearl in a bottle.
- Philip singing, Scrum playing the mandola, and Derrick playing the piano are the only characters who go out on a raft to hunt for mermaids at Whitecap Bay, while Syrena is the first mermaid who goes to the raft rather than Tamara.
- At Whitecap Bay, the Mermaids can jump onto land and turn their tails into legs to serve as enemies.
- Philip and Syrena fall in love during the battle at Whitecap Bay instead of the jungle trek into the island.
- When the lighthouse is destroyed, Syrena lands straight in the case.
- In the handheld version, the Cook is eaten by Tamara rather than Derrick and Purser being the ones that get eaten.
- Derrick survives the mermaid attack.
- During the cliff scene. The pistol part is ommited and The Quartermaster pushes Jack off the cliff instead of him jumping after the voodoo doll. Jack also still has his compass after he gets to the bottom of the cliff.
- Instead of having Philip killed, Blackbeard hurtles food at Philip in order to make Syrena cry.
- Jack and Barbossa don't get captured in the Spanish camp.
- In the PC and console versions of the game, The Spaniard wears a tricorne, instead of a wide, rounded hat. In the handheld versions however, he has no headwear.
- Barbossa and Jack escape the camp in a tree slingshot.

- Blackbeard and Angelica make their way to the Fountain straight away, leaving the collapsed bridge behind them.
- The Quartermaster and the Gunner disappear from the story upon entering the Fountain through "the portal" in the cave.
- The British Marines do not show up during the battle at the Fountain of Youth and during the attack on the Spanish camp, as Barbossa and Gibbs are the only member of that party.
- Instead of the British fighting Blackbeard's men, the Spanish soldiers battle with them.
- Instead of stabbing Blackbeard with a poisoned sword, Barbossa throws a poison frog at Blackbeard. It later bounces off onto Angelica, poisoning her as well.
- During the boss fight with Blackbeard, Syrena joins Jack and the others to defeat Blackbeard.
- Jack and Barbossa fight Blackbeard together rather than Barbossa fighting Blackbeard alone. This is to make it more co-op friendly.
- In the handheld version, The Spaniard chucks a bomb at Blackbeard and blows him up. Why this happened is unknown.
- When Blackbeard is defeated, Angelica slaps Jack in the face with Blackbeard's beard piece.
- At the end, in the PC and the console versions Barbossa recovers only his original hat, while in the handheld version he doesn't change his outfit at all.
- Angelica finds Jack's hat washed up on the island rather than the voodoo doll.

Trivia[]
- It was thought that Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides would have its own video game, but it was shown on the film's official site that LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean: The Video Game would be the film's video game, with the fourth film's plot being in the game. It is possible that it could have been because of the cancellation of Pirates of the Caribbean: Armada of the Damned, which was supposed to be released on February 2, 2011.
- If you unlock all the gold bricks, there is a secret level that is similar to the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland and Walt Disney World.
- Music from the films and the At World's End video game is used for this game.
- Lego Pirates of the Caribbean is the only video game in the Lego series that has no stud limit.
- With the exception of the Ride level, no actual dialogue is used, just like every previous LEGO video game. In The Ride, there is a deep and distorted voice singing "A Pirate's Life for Me" song.
- This is the second-to-last LEGO video game to feature no dialogue, with the last being LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7, released later in the same year.
- In every LEGO Pirates of the Caribbean set, there was a code included on a poster of the set which, when inputted into the game, would unlock an extra character simply called "Jack Sparrow". When the player selects him, he turns out to be a special Dancing Jack Sparrow who forces all the other characters around him (minus the second player) to dance with him.
- If the player plays as Dancing Jack Sparrow, the version of "A Pirate's Life For Me" from the unlockable ride level will play.
- This is the first game in the Lego series where the player can skip the opening intro before the title screen.
- It is the only licensed Lego game not to be released via Steam, despite LEGO Star Wars: The Video Game and LEGO Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy are also not available for Steam but both released under LEGO Star Wars: The Complete Saga. The reason why it wasn't made available through Steam is possibly due to it being the only Lego game published under Disney Interactive, which does not have any games available for Steam, despite being a listed publisher.
- It would eventually be released on Steam, alongside the At World's End video game and 19 other games by Disney Interactive, on October 6th, 2014. [1]
- Interestingly enough, Jack Sparrow is only ever referred to as "Captain Jack Sparrow" on the Xbox 360 version of the game. On every other version (including the PS3 version, which is identical in all but button prompts), he is referred to as merely "Jack Sparrow".
- To follow this, the Nintendo DS and 3DS versions refer to his "Jack Sparrow (Waistcoat)" costume as "Jack Sparrow (Alternate)", even though there are several other alternate costumes for Jack Sparrow in those versions of the game.
- There are several extra characters included in the Nintendo DS and 3DS versions of the game which are missing from the console version, including some which many might consider to be important enough to be included. These characters include Scarlett, Giselle, Admiral Norrington, and several Dutchman pirates.
- Also on the DS and 3DS versions of the game, On Stranger Tides receives unique cutscenes using the models found in-game, whereas the other three films use the cutscenes from the console versions (with minor alterations).
- In no version of the game is there any appearance of Captain Teague, despite his important role in both At World's End and On Stranger Tides. However his Textures, files and Animations are left over in the Game Files..
- During the loading screens, the Black Pearl is shown with two masts despite having three: it's the only ship suffering this mistake.
