Little Big Planet 3 Signature Series Strategy Guide › Adventure: Manglewood

Manglewood Swamp

Manglewood was once a hotbed of the Bunkum film industry, churning out blockbusters, art house hits, and independent cinema alike. Now, it has fallen into ruin and disrepair, reclaimed by the natural forces around it. Somewhere in this region resides the silver screen star Marlon Random, the man who knows the key to finding the legendary Oddsock.

Faded Glory, Brand New Stories

Getting Organized

Nana Pud seems to have gotten a bit turned around on the open waters. In order to right the ship and continue on to Manglewood, follow Nana Pud’s instructions and use the Organizertron to get back on track.

Getting Your Kit Together

Aside from the pressing main quest, your sack person might be tasked with all manner of other adventures over the course of the journey. The Organizertron is a nifty helper to keep all the various to-dos sorted. It also lists completed quests at the bottom.

To open your Organizertron, hold . You can then select a region with the left stick, and press to see the quests related to it. Highlight a quest, and press to be guided to it.

Swamp Things

Disembark from the ship, and head to the right. Manglewood Swamp is a sprawling area filled with Prize Bubbles to collect. While there are no hostile creatures, you must still contend with plenty of environmental hazards.

As your sack person runs along the green scaly ground, pop two Prize Bubbles ahead for the Toy Stegosaurus Object and Popcorn Carton Decoration.

Hop the gap to avoid sinking into the deadly tar below. On the other side, pop two more Prize Bubbles containing the Moss Patch Decoration and Monster Arm Decoration.

Arrive at a pair of Blue Layer Launchers. They propel your sack person through a Prize Bubble holding the Cinema Ticket Decoration.

Special Guest Appearance

Lo and behold, the legendary Marlon Random is waiting! After a somewhat self-congratulatory introduction, he gets down to business.

Oddsock’s three lost marbles have been scattered throughout Manglewood. Each resides in its own level that poses a unique challenge: High Stakes Heist, Deep Space Drive-In, and Shake, Rattle, and Roll. The order in which you tackle them is up to you.

Manglewood’s Multitude

Of the many Prize Bubbles scattered about, a few require a bit more than just elbow grease to access. Come back when you’ve got the correct power-up or hero for the job.

Oddsock

Immediately to the left of where you first encounter Marlon, send Oddsock scurrying up into the background. The curved ground allows for wall jumping willy-nilly to pop three Prize Bubbles here that hold the Pinball Crypts Sign Decoration, Oddsock Poster Sticker, and Vintage Dial Cover Decoration.

Check out the area to the left of the entrance to “High Stakes Heist.” Oddsock can run up the wall and leap from it through two Prize Bubbles to nab the Triple Drive Belt Decoration and Jukebox Arch Decoration.

Beneath the “Shake, Rattle, and Roll” entrance and in the foreground is a very prominent camera lens. Beside it is half of a suspension bridge. Only Oddsock can run up and wall jump off of it to knock it down. Doing so also pops two Prize Bubbles that grant the Lollypop Decoration and Tar Flow Material.

With both halves of the bridge lowered, Oddsock can scamper on to the right. Past the framed popcorn, a series of wall jumps lets Oddsock claim the Prize Bubbles for the Jam Material and Papal Mache Sticker. Only slightly farther is a pyramidal stack that offers Oddsock the Robo-Sock Skin Costume, Robo-Sock Headset Costume, Robo-Sock Nose Costume, Robo-Sock LED Teeth Costume, Robo-Sock Body Costume, and Robo-Sock Tail Costume.

Bright Idea!

Buy five Costumes from Zom Zom, and he gives a bonus gift to your sack person: Illuminator. This piercing beam of light can illuminate Prize Bubbles hidden within certain framed images. After receiving the Illuminator from Zom Zom, head to this delicious-looking poster, and shine it brightly.

Like magic, four Prize Bubbles appear amid the popping corn and provide the Seaweed Sticker, Yellow Duck Sticker, Cat Fur Material, and Bunting Flag Decoration.

Boost Boots

A subtle sign emerging from the tar pits on the lowest level of Manglewood Swamp hints that you should return with the Boost Boots. Boost to the right, and a hidden wall panel reveals a true cornucopia of Prize Bubbles. Big Toggle’s wardrobe grows significantly with the addition of the Big Cop Small Cop Eyes Costume, Big Cop Small Cop Hair Costume, Big Cop Small Cop Hat Costume, Big Cop Small Cop Moustache Costume,

Big Cop Small Cop Skin Costume, Big Cop Small Cop Shoes Costume, Big Cop Small Cop Trousers Costume, and Big Cop Small Cop Shirt Costume.

Not to be left out, little Toggle is the beneficiary of the Big Cop Small Cop Shades Costume, Big Cop Small Cop Helmet Costume, Big Cop Small Cop Moustache Costume, Big Cop Small Cop Skin Costume, Big Cop Small Cop Shoes Costume, Big Cop Small Cop Trousers Costume, and Big Cop Small Cop Shirt Costume.

More for Four

The flash of all those costume bits flowing into your Popit sure is exciting. But don’t be distracted from the fact that a platform has fallen into place to the right. Bring three more friends with you here, as the entrance to a four-player level is just beyond to the right. The Layer Launchers leading to it, however, only activate when all four players are present.

Also, once Oddsock has toppled both ends of the bridge, you can reach four more Prize Bubbles dangling down below. Thanks to Oddsock’s efforts, you are now the proud owner of the Gorilla Head Sticker, Gorilla Arm Sticker, Warning Triangle Sticker, and Movie Camera Sticker.
