Red Hats can be found throughout the Port level hub and be bought for LEGO Studs earned throughout the
game to unlock Extra Abilities. These abilities can then be turned on or off in the game menu under 'Extra'. (You can also enter cheats here) There are 20 Red Hats in all and they are:
- Always Double Treasure: an extra double to treasure

- Character Treasure: Releases studs upon defeating minifigs
- Disguises: Makes all minifigs in entire game wear glasses with attached large nose and handlebar mustache

- Red Hat Finder: Indicates red hat locations in the hub with red arrows
- Regenerate Hearts: Regain lost health over time
- Treasure magnet: Studs get attracted to you when you're close to them, but further away than normal
- Treasure x#: Get more worth for your studs. These can be used together to get more multiple studs, i.e. unlock and activate Treasure x2 & Treasure x6 at once and you get Treasure x12. Also usable in combination with Always Double Treasure.
After buying a red hat, sometimes the next time you come by its location there is a purple stud in its place.
