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

Shake, Rattle, and Roll

Deep space is pretty far out, but it’s easy to lose track of time while drifting through the galaxy. Relaxing as weightlessness may be, there’s still another marble to obtain. Back under the sway of gravity, your sack person can really appreciate being back on firm ground by cutting loose all over the swinging joint housing the third marble. Groove to some great tunes while giving the all-new Velociporter a whirl!

Slow Down for Nothing

Marlon’s positively chomping at the bit to show your sack person the latest and greatest. For an otherwise out of touch retro icon, he stays surprisingly up to date on technology. Follow him to the right, where a hip new experience in teleportation awaits: the Velociporter!

Hot Stuffing, Coming Through!

Hop down into the waiting Velociporter to have your sack person teleported into the foreground and dropped through a waiting Prize Bubble containing the ”Pink Shoelaces” Audio.

Materialize with Momentum

Think the Blink Ball’s the quickest way to get around? Well, the Velociporter’s got its own rockin’ way of getting your sack person from points A to B. Whatever speed your sack person has going into one end is carried straight through out the other. It’s a great way to get around without slowing down.

More Velociporters slot into place. Drop down the green Velociporter on the left side to emerge in the background, being shot upward through a Prize Bubble and receiving the Jukebox Base Decoration in the process. Drop down the yellow Velociporter on the right to repeat the feat, and pop the Prize Bubble holding the Embossed Material before returning to the foreground through the original Velociporter.

A stack of dirty diner cups and saucers drops out of the way to allow your sack person access onward. Pop the Prize Bubble atop them for the Saucer Object as you sally forth.

A slick strawberry shake slide slips your sack person to the next Checkpoint in front of an oddly gleeful short-order monkey cook. (That is, he’s a monkey that cooks rather than a cook who specializes in monkeys.)

Sprint rightward, through two Prize Bubbles, and move headlong into a Velociporter. Your Popit now has the Black Bubbles Sticker and Coffee Cup Object.

The Velociporter spits your sack person out above. Grab onto the morsel skewered on the fork, and use it to swing onto the platform ahead. Layer Launchers are leading onward, farther into the diner. Flying between the layers, line up your sack person to pop the Prize Bubble bearing the Neon Frame Material.

Burger Boost

Come back here after snagging the Boost Boots to reach the pair of tasty Prize Bubbles atop a big burger stack, found to the right of the Layer Launchers. They’ve got the delicious Cowboy Shoes Giant Costume and Cowboy Shoes Dwarf Costume as their filling.

Drop through the Velociporter on the ground to the right, and let it drop your sack person onto a Prize Bubble to snag the Monkey Arm Sticker.

Drop back down, hop into the little archway, and then flip the switch to shift the background Velociporter over. Travel once more through the Velociporter, this time landing on the higher platform level.

Leap from here onto the Bounce Pads to the right, sending your sack person down a checkered slide. Stay centered to pop the Prize Bubble in the middle to gain (appropriately enough) the Diner Tiles Material and Robot Leg Sticker.

Return Trips

Since the Velociporter preserves your speed upon teleportation, your sack person naturally comes out the other side faster when going in faster. Use this to your advantage by dropping through Velociporters from greater heights to enter at higher speeds.

Plop through the Velociporter ahead, and climb up the neon-lit metal mesh on the other side. Climb to the top of the mesh and drop down to emerge back in the foreground with far more speed, enough to fly up through a Prize Bubble holding the Microphone Grill Material and up to the previously inaccessible platform.

Jump over a treacherous gap to reach another succession of Velociporters. Once more, charge forward with maximum speed, and your sack person is quickly warped several times in quick succession up to the next level and Checkpoint.

Hidden Duds

If all this diner food doesn’t have your sack person too stuffed, Boost Boots can get up to the left, where two Prize Bubbles enclosing the Cowboy Trousers Dwarf Costume and Cowboy Shirt Dwarf Costume can be reached with ease.

Switch Hitting

Bring a pal, and have them ready to flip the switch in this two-player puzzle. With the switch in the left position, you can now use the foreground Velociporter. Use the Blue Bounce Pad to get up high before falling down into it.

As your sack person emerges on the other side, your partner must flip the switch. Guide your sack person over the crackling blue electricity and down the left side into the waiting Velociporter. This shoots your wooly friend up through three Prize Bubbles to reap the Monkey Head Sticker, Pink Gradient Sticker, and “So Fine” Audio.

Join Marlon in the elevator, where the Checkpoint is located. Both he and your sack person are whisked upward to where the shake magic happens. The two key ingredients are banana and strawberry, each requiring your sack person to take a different path.

Go Banana!

Head first down the left tube, and keep going left past the Checkpoint.

Duck into Ducts

Look carefully. The tube your sack person just emerged from is actually hiding another duct right behind it. Step a layer back, and drop through it to travel through a series of Velociporters. Before your sack person touches ground, two Prize Bubbles have already been popped. In the process, you earn the Burger Object and Feeding Tube–Straight Object.

Some unconventionally mounted Velociporters are stuck to Pumpinator-prone blue material. Take out the Pumpinator, and blow the first out of the way to reach the Velociporter on the other side.

Hop through the Velociporter to appear in the background. Suck that Velociporter out of the way to get past it, and hop up into the background to reach three Prize Bubbles seated there. Now you’ve got the Coffee Ring Sticker, Bow Tie Decoration, and 50s Pattern Sticker.

Return to the background for the last time in this area, and proceed to the left. Clamber up to the Blue Bounce Pads, and wait for the foreground Velociporter to aim right. Launch your sack person up through the Velociporter and back into the foreground. The trajectory goes directly through two Prize Bubbles. Enjoy the Rock ’n’ Roll Sticker and Jukebox Panel Decoration you receive.

Head to the background again. This time, wait for the foreground Velociporter to point to the left. Two more Prize Bubbles are lined up for your sack person. They yield the Chrome Pipe–Bend Decoration and Plastic Cup Patterned Object as your sack person slides down some spilt shake to the next Checkpoint.

Rewards on a Roll

After beating the level for the first time, your Popit gains the Rollerblade Sticker. Hit the mark here to summon two Prize Bubbles that bestow the Robot Head Sticker and Dinner Jacket Sticker.

Vinyl and Velociporters

Jump over the Velociporter, and keep heading left. Grab the spinning record wheel and let it whip your sack person through a Velociporter. Emerging in the background, your sack person flies through a Prize Bubble and nabs the Robot Arm Sticker.

Quickly grab onto the second spinning record there, and let it fling your sack person through the air and into a Prize Bubble that offers the Scuffed Metal Material.

Climb up the metal mesh, avoiding the horizontally oscillating blue neon hazard, and hop through the right-side Velociporter as the deadly obstacle approaches. Emerging on the left, quickly climb up to the safety of the next Checkpoint.

Boost Bursting

Bring your Boost Boots back here to reach four Prize Bubbles above the Checkpoint. Start on the left, boosting to reach the small nook. Head up and over, popping all five and netting the Cowboy Duster Giant Costume, Cowboy Trousers Giant Costume, Cowboy Hair Giant Costume, and Cowboy Mustache Giant Costume, and Cowboy Eyes Giant Costume.

Avoid the rotating blue bar as you head right. Grab the spinning record to finally reach the key ingredient valve. Use the Bounce Pads to reach the lever and grab it. Your sack person’s weight pulls it down and lets the banana start flowing.

With the path clear, continue right and on through a Velociporter. Hop through a Prize Bubble to get at its Banana Sticker, and then head down the slide into another Prize Bubble offering the Jukebox Object.

Back at the starting point, it’s time to head right and add the strawberry to the mix.

Strawberry Sweetness

Ducting Responsibility

Step into background and into the duct that drops your sack person below. Three pairs of Velociporters rise and fall ahead. However, the yellow and green ones only send your sack person to a shocking fate. Instead, wait for them to rise and stand beneath the red Velociporter. When it comes down, your sack person instantly appears above it and flies right through three Prize Bubbles for the “A Fistful of Donuts” Audio, Fried Egg Decoration, and Goo Drips Decoration.

With the Pumpinator in hand, blow the blue platform here up to reveal a Velociporter in the background. Hop into that layer and through the Velociporter to emerge up top.

Move past the Checkpoint, and take the Layer Launcher through a Prize Bubble to collect its Milkshake Material.

Sliding along a stream of shake, jump before the electrical ending to fly through a Velociporter.

Grab the spinning record to reach the Layer Launchers, and let them shoot your sack person through two Prize Bubbles. The Cherry Cupcake Sticker and Love Heart Cupcake Sticker are now in your Popit.

Record Run

After being bounced around and arriving at the next Checkpoint, how about spinning a catchy tune? Jump through the Velociporter to the right to land on top of a record in the background. Run in either direction to get it spinning, and collect the Prize Bubbles located along its rim.

Following this, you gain the Salt Shaker Object, Black Leather Panels Material, 12” Vinyl Record Object, and Record Tone Arm Decoration.

Once finished, use one of the pairs of Blue Bounce Pads on the record to shoot back up through the Velociporter and find your sack person flying within reach of the metal mesh. Grab it, and climb up.

Boost, Background, Bounce

Boost Boots let you pop two Prize Bubbles lickety-split here. Propel your sack person through the upper-right Velociporter. In a flash, your sack person falls through two Prize Bubbles, gains the Cowboy Hair Dwarf Costume and Cowboy Eyes Dwarf Costume, lands on Layer Launchers, and winds up back at the start.

Jump over the Velociporter as you move left and down to the lower platform. Then, drop down through the Velociporter and land to the left in the background.

Look before Leaping

Jumping through the Velociporter straight away is lethal to your sack person. The momentum emerging out the other side sends your fabric pal into the electrifying neon.

At last, the second lever! Using the Bounce Pads, pull it down for the second key ingredient.

As before, head through the Velociporters, pass through two Prize Bubbles (these two giving the Strawberry Sticker and Bandit Machine Arm Decoration, and slide down to the waiting Marlon.

With your tasks complete, ride the rest of the way up with Marlon.

Birds Beware of Boosts

Head to the left, and run through the Velociporter there with Boost Boots equipped. Emerging from the background, boost up to startle the bird there. Fall back through the Velociporter to the foreground, where the bird has brought a string of Prize Bubbles. Use the boots to pop them all and snatch up the Cowboy Hair Dwarf Costume and Cowboy Hair Giant Costume.

It turns out one more ingredient is needed: pure energy! Your sack person has that in spades. Run to the right and through the Velociporter. Your sack person winds up building up incredible speed and goes flying through the bars imprisoning the lost marble. Finally, Oddsock has returned to the Craftverse! Now to put the hero in action amid the fragile environs of the Crumbling Crypts.
