Little Big Planet 3 Signature Series Strategy Guide › Adventure: Bunkum Lagoon

Belly of the Beast

An enterprising puppet with aspirations beyond the length of his strings has the marble. Unfortunately, his misadventures have taken him into the literal belly of the beast. Guide your sack person through these churning tracts, and try to get the marble without being digested.

How Much Can You Stomach?

Bound in Bubbles

When you are inside a creature hundreds of times your size, it’s hard to know which way is up. However, it’s much easier to know which way is forward. Drop down to the right.

Here, you have your first encounter with the gaseous bubbles found throughout the level. These bubbles emerge from distinct purple portals in the walls. Your sack person can get caught in them and must wait for the bubble to burst against a wall to be freed.

Use the Blue Bounce Pads to avoid the gas bubbles, and pop the Prize Bubble containing the Bubbles Sticker.

Drop down a slide and into a Prize Bubble that gives you the Salmon Fillet Decoration.

Jump from the platform, and grab the hanging sponge. Use it to swing over and reach the Transparent Goo Material Prize Bubble. From there, let go of the sponge and fall into the safe embrace of a bubble below. The bubble leads to a red curtained area, where it then bursts and drops your sack person into a wooden box.

Boost or Bust: Part 1

Complete this level, and then return to this point with the Fish Head Sticker and Fish Tail Sticker you earn. Placing them both in the appropriate spots completely changes the layout of the level. Now, Boost Boots become critical to get past certain areas where assistance from things like sponges are missing.

But while some things are missing, you ought to be more interested in the things that are appearing. Just slightly farther ahead are the first Prize Bubbles this variation of the level offers. Leap through them both to get the Starfish Decoration and Clam Shell Decoration.

After being cranked a bit, the box shoots your sack person out onto Layer Launchers and through a Prize Bubble. Enjoy the Biological Cell Sticker along with your new surroundings.

Creepy Crawly Caterpillars

Head to the right, and jump across the tops of cardboard boxes as they cascade down gross green waterfalls. Avoid the caterpillars circling the platforms, or simply pop their brains.

The platform trails off into some icky green goop. Leap over the toxic edge and onto the metal tins flowing down. Before the tin submerges, grab the hanging sponge to swing atop another tin.

As this platform approaches a similar fate, jump off and catch a ride inside a bubble moving from left to right. Let it pop and drop your sack person at the next Checkpoint.

Jump onto the Layer Launchers to the right, and arrive in front of a small stage. The red curtains part to reveal an irate marionette.

Run off to the right, where a Velociporter, encircled by more caterpillars, awaits.

Hop down through it to emerge in the foreground, popping a Prize Bubble for the Anemone Decoration before landing on a bouncing anemone.

Bouncing to the right, scale the rope rigging to reach the upper platform where the Jester Horn Decoration sits.

Boost or Bust: Part 2

Where once there was rigging, now there is only the Tentacles 2 Sticker Prize Bubble in the air.

From this perch, you can jump down on the anemone for an even higher bounce than before. This sends your sack person flying high enough to reach the Starfish Sticker suspended in front of the ropes in the upper left.

Guide your sack person down into the Velociporter. This surge of speed is enough to reach the two Prize Bubbles bearing the Veins Sticker and Green Fish Sticker on the other end.

Return through the Velociporter, and repeat these steps. However, this time, grab the ropes instead of falling through the Velociporter, and climb up.

Boost or Bust: Part 3

Leap off from the ropes, and boost to the left through the Black Eye Lashes Sticker. Grab the ropes to the left and climb over to pop the Fabric Crab Decoration and Ruff Decoration Prize Bubbles.

Sucking Shellfish

Reaching the tops of the ropes, shuffle off to the left. Red curtains part to reveal a three-eyed clam. Its mouth holds a Prize Bubble, but it snaps shut when you get too close. Use the Pumpinator to suck it out for the precious Sequin–Single Decoration.

Run past the Checkpoint and off the edge of the platform to catch a ride in the upwardly rising bubbles.

Landing up above, take the Blue Bounce Pads up to reach two Prize Bubbles hidden away in a dark chamber above. They yield the Bath Sponge Material and Sea Anemone Decoration.

Dropping out of the left side, you can now easily snag the Puppet Torso Sticker, Jester Shoe Sticker, and Bell Decoration from their three Prize Bubbles.

Sack in a Box

Return to the Blue Bounce Pads, and use them to grab the sponge hanging from a chain overhead. This lowers the door to a red wooden box on the right. To get there and avoid the green slime below, drop from the sponge into a bubble.

Once again, your sack person is flung wildly from this box into the air. In the blink of an eye, you pop three Prize Bubbles and obtain their Ornate Gold Trim 1 Sticker, White Gradient Fade Sticker, and Jester Cylinder Decoration.

As your sack person reaches peak height, steer to the right to pop a fourth Prize Bubble and snag its Curtains Material.

Head to the left, where the green goop rises and falls with eerie regularity. When they are at their lowest levels, jump left onto the Layer Launcher.

Grab onto the ropes in the background, and climb up them to stay above the deadly muck. Pop the two Prize Bubbles there to claim their Contaminated Warning Sign Sticker and ”Sleazy Does It” Audio.

When the green waters recede again, drop down into the Velociporter. Your sack person is quickly whisked back to the Checkpoint start, popping three more Prize Bubbles for their Harlequin Wave–Big Sticker, Harlequin Wave–Small Sticker, and Harlequin Wave Sticker in the process.

Head back to the right, past the stage. To navigate the stream of stinky stuff, catch a ride on the floating salmon fillets that pop up. Avoid the obstacles in the way as you pop the Cannon Sticker Prize Bubble.

Before the fillet tumbles off into the unknown below, jump off of it into the Layer Launchers to the right. They lead to Bounce Pads that finally deposit your sack person high up in the foreground. This bursts three Prize Bubbles for the Fish Hook Decoration, Curved Diamond Sticker, and Rough Diamond–White Sticker.

Boost or Bust: Part 4

A small, isolated platform in the upper left houses a trio of Prize Bubbles. Boost up here, and swipe the Puppet Hand Sticker, Jester Shorts Sticker, and Puppet Arm Sticker.

Continuing to the right, drop your sack person down into a Velociporter. Fall out in the background, landing on the tops of cardboard boxes that sink into the muck. Jump off and into the rising bubble to the right.

Boost or Bust: Part 5

Boost over the Velociporter to reach two Prize Bubbles that have appeared. These release the Sequin–Single Decoration and Candy Floss Decoration.

Caterpillars are abundant ahead. Avoid them as you climb up the rope rigging that moves into place as you approach. Along the way, pop a Prize Bubble for the Puppet Sticker.

Boost or Bust: Part 6

You’re given one less platform to work with here, but you get two more Prize Bubbles in exchange. Boost through them to grab the Marionette Theatre Sign Sticker and the Red Curtain Top Sticker en route to the ropes.

As the curvy rope surface leads around caterpillars, you can find a Prize Bubble near the top that yields the Quilted Swirls Material.

Jump off onto the Bounce Pad to reach the next Checkpoint. Bounce across the anemones to get to the right. Climb up the ropes, and drop down on an anemone with enough bounce to reach the rising bubbles.

When the bubble pops against the ceiling, fall down onto an anemone. From this height, your bounce takes you high enough to reach the two Prize Bubbles and free their Red Curtain Sticker and Red Curtain Drape Sticker.

Shucking Shellfish

In the lower-right corner, continue to the right, where curtains part to reveal another clam. As before, use your Pumpinator to withdraw the Prize Bubble containing the Blue Fish Sticker.

Bouncing off the anemones this way also gives you enough height to reach the upper-left area. Standing on the button there lowers a sponge for your sack person to grab.

Rising up in another wooden box, your sack person is launched straight up through three Prize Bubbles. Land with the new additions of the Big Surf Sticker, ”What Is This I Don’t Even…” Audio, and Tinned Fish Decoration.

Sea Sponge, Pull Sponge

The puzzle to the right isn’t suited for solo adventurers. But, when accompanied by a friend, you can earn the Puppet Head Sticker, Harlequin Patch Sticker, Fringe Decoration, and Quilted Diamonds Material. One of you must bounce across anemones to the Blue Bounce Pads on the right. Use them to grab the sponge.

As long as your sack person is grabbing the sponge, two platforms lower into place and provide access to the Prize Bubbles. Your partner needs to bounce from the anemone into the bubble and ride it up to the Prize Bubble cache above.

Head to the left, and swing from the sponge to reach the tins floating down.

A Light in the Darkness

Swing from the sponge to the left, where you find a room devoted to a crab’s portrait. Click on the Illuminator here to reveal the Jester Neck Ruffle Sticker, Comedy Mask Decoration, and Puppet Nose Sticker Prize Bubbles.

Rise to the Occasion

As you make your way from tin to tin, swinging from sponges, your sack person finally arrives at the next Checkpoint. To the left, a massive set of teeth retracts as you approach.

The pressure is on as soon as the gooey green sludge below starts to rise. Immediately run to the left, and leap up to the ropes. Climb toward the Prize Bubble to nab its Harlequin Mask Sticker.

Leap off to the right and between the platforms, making sure to hit the Prize Bubble for the Gondolier Leg Sticker.

Get on up using the Bounce Pads, and move to the far left side. The left platform rises with the waters, letting you hop across to some ropes. Use the ropes to reach the Layer Launchers topped with the Gondolier Torso Sticker Prize Bubble.

Jump across the platforms to the left until arriving at Layer Launchers. Take them to the background.

There, hop over the goop, and land a layer back atop Bounce Pads. These pads send your sack person up through two Prize Bubbles for the Tragedy Mask Decoration and Punch Puppet Object.

Grab the sponges, and swing between them to reach platforms on the right. A huge sponge awaits to whisk you to safety.

Reaching the very top, head to the right. A large stage flanked by fish awaits. Pull down the sponge on the far right to draw back the curtain and finally reveal the marble.
