Little Big Planet 3 Signature Series Strategy Guide A Second Term at Popit Academy

Velociporters and Teleporters

Now the real fun begins, starting with the magic of teleportation. Who doesn’t like jumping through space, right? It’s quite fun, which is why this lesson is devoted to just this kind of phenomenon. And if you don’t believe in it, don’t worry about it… in the Imagisphere, anything is possible!

Velociporters

First, some words about these handy Velociporters. When you jump in one, you’ll come out at the nearest other one of the same color.

At the very beginning of this level, you have the chance to try out a couple of them. See those Prize Bubbles way up high, above the Velociporters and on a platform to the right? They seem out of reach, but not if your sack person gains some momentum as they fly through the Velociporters. Go through them to the far platform first, then take a big jump over the taller one to dive into the smaller one. On your way out of the tall one, go left to pop the Plastic Ruler Object Prize Bubble.

Now, launch your sack person this way through the Velociporters at least a couple of times. They catch more air each time, gaining momentum until they can jump to the right to reach the platform containing the other Prize Bubbles. These bubbles hold the Chalk Arrowhead Sticker and Glow Stick Decoration.

Bound through more of these as your sack person proceeds through the level to get a feel for these funny and wondrous objects. Collect the Blue Paint Smudge Sticker as you go, next to the Bounce Pad.

Soon, you reach the first area where you can start tweaking colors. Open your Popit with or the touch pad button to select your Popit Cursor. See the purple Velociporter on the ground in front of your sack person? They’re about to go through that, but since it’s purple, they would end up falling directly into the spikes if they did that. Sack folk don’t make very cute porcupines, so you must change the color before going through.

With your Popit Cursor, select the Velociporter on the ground, and press to open the Tweak menu. Change the color to green so it matches the other Velociporter, the one that should take your sack person to safety on the next platform. Now, jump through it!

Up ahead, notice the Prize Bubbles waiting up high, beneath a red Velociporter. Select the Velociporter in front of you with your Popit Cursor, and change its color to red. Then, jump through it to burst the Prize Bubbles for the Radial Ripple Decoration and Rough Purple Square Sticker.

Next, change the Velociporter’s color to purple to emerge from the one on the right, up above your sack person.

You must time your maneuvers through the Velociporters precisely to make it to the other side in one stitched piece. Pop in the first to emerge in the next yellow one, then rush to the red one to pop out on the far right.

In the next area, you can change the color of the middle Velociporter to jump out at each respective Prize Bubble and collect the contents. These grant you the Condensation Drip Decoration and Trombone Mouth Piece Decoration.

But that’s not all that’s fun about this part. Your sack person also needs to latch onto the spongy levers (press ) to open the gates so they can proceed on their puzzling journey of Create Mode knowledge.

Your Very Own Velociporter

Sure, it’s fun to play with other people’s Velociporters, but now you can create your own, too. Press or the touch pad button to open your Popit, and then open your Tools bag. Here, you can find a Velociporter; select it, and choose where you want to place it with .

While you’re placing it, hold to tweak its properties. You’d better make this one green so your sack person can jump through it to the platform above.

Next up, place a Velociporter on the platform to the right so your sack person can launch from one side of the barrier to the other. Make this one green, too. While you’re at it, have your sack person go back and forth through these two platforms so they can reach the Prize Bubbles for the Dotted Outline Material and Chalk Arrow Sticker.

Teleportation

Looks like you’re almost done with this lesson—or are you? Not quite, little adventurer, because it’s time to learn about Teleporters. These can take you long distances, and you can link any two that you want, regardless of color or proximity.

In this next section, use your Popit Cursor to select the 2-Way Switch: Output next to the spongy lever up ahead. Then, drag with the left stick to reach the Character Teleporter: Input up above. Press when you reach it to link the two.

Now, when your sack person pulls the spongy lever, they pop out through the Character Teleporter above. This is a more interesting way to access high places rather than just jumping everywhere (although that’s always fun, too).

Your Teleporters are located in your Tools bag, just like your Velociporters and many other useful objects you’ve collected in your Popit Academy adventures so far. Go ahead and select it, then place it on the orange square above the Bounce Pad to the left.

Select the output next to the red button, and link it to the Character Teleporter. This means that when your sack person jumps on the red button, they land at the Bounce Pad and can jump to pop the Prize Bubbles. These are for the Garden Trowel Object and White Art Deco Stripes Sticker.

In the next room, place a Character Teleporter on the orange wall above the purple Velociporter, and then connect the red button output to the Teleporter. The trick is making sure you don’t place the Character Teleporter too high on the wall, or your sack person may fly past the Prize Bubble in the first room and end up on spikes in the second.

When you’re done, jump on the red button to launch your sack person through, and grab that Prize Bubble for the Black Radial Fade Inward Sticker. Then, try a second round, this time using the Velociporter to head to the left. Keep going from Velociporter to Velociporter, popping Prize Bubbles for the White Blur Sticker, Womens 1920’s Hair Sticker, Mannequin Head (Female) Sticker, and Messy Cup Object as you go.
