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

Contraption Challenge: The Wheel Deal

Que pasa? Are you ready to burn some rubber? If you’ve got the need for speed, The Wheel Deal is the Contraption Challenge for you. Assemble a hot rod that can best the current champion, Gustavo.

Burning Rubber

Components of Victory

Gustavo’s a sporting challenger. He offers the starting parts you need to build a competitive ride. Assemble each piece of the car as he supplies them: Pumpkin Chassis Object with Tennis Ball Wheel Object in both front and rear wheel positions marked with and . It may seem odd for a race, but go ahead and place the Balloon Object over the area labeled with .

Your first time out is going to be rough. Focus less on beating Gustavo than on collecting Prize Bubbles. Keeping a low profile throughout nets you the Square Wheel Object, Flipper Object, Bottle Chassis Object, Jerry Can Chassis Object, Cog Wheel Object, Skate Chassis Object, and Toy Car Wheel Object.

Last, But Not Least

To get one particular Prize Bubble, you have no choice but to virtually toss in the towel. As your car approaches a green ramp in front of the rolling camera, slow down! Dropping down below reveals the presence of a Prize Bubble containing the Pipe Chassis Object.

Race for the Prizes

You can build a better ride with these parts the next time you race Gustavo. However, you can have even more options in the shop when using the Balloon at strategic points to snatch Prize Bubbles resting high above.

After the exterior stretch, rise up to obtain the Triangular Hose Chassis Object.

Taking off from the next peak in the track, there’s the invaluable Thruster Object.

Better still, the next rusted metal platform between the bright purple energy coils has the Super-Charger Object.

Tune your ride with new parts, and then cross the finish line in first place before time runs out to earn the Prize Bubbles for the Polished Wood Material, Watch Pin Object, Foil Suit Material, Square Wheel Object, Vintage Ice Skate Object, Vegetable Box Material, Lab Clamp Base Object, Tractor Wheel Object, Dull Metal Material, Crushed Can Object, Tennis Ball Object, Cloth Pumpkin Object, and Plastic Bottle Object.
