Objects
Popit Cursor
The ethereal element that is at the core of Create Mode, the Popit Cursor manages object selection, placement, resizing, expanding and contracting, copying, and deleting. It’s definitely a powerful tool.
Corner Editor
Select an object, and adjust the outline by selecting a point along the edge, then pulling it in or out. Despite this tool’s name, you can use it to manipulate any point along the edge of an object, not just corners.
Advanced Glue Tool
Holding down 
at length to stick objects together can be time-consuming, not to mention tiring on your thumb. The Advanced Glue Tool simplifies things by letting you join multiple objects by simply slapping this down upon them.
Material Changer
When it comes to construction, it’s important to have the proper material for the job—just ask the three little pigs. Suppose you make a house out of cardboard and then realize it’s better off made of brick. With the Material Changer, you don’t need to start over from scratch. Simply select the new material, and then select the object to be changed.
UV Tool
With so many patterns, it is often the case that making the perfect shape and having the perfect look do not always go hand in hand. Using the UV Tool, you can move a pattern about without changing the object it is on, which is a surprisingly handy utility.
Capture Object
Care to save your creations for posterity? Use the Capture Object tool to take a snapshot that you can name and even gift in a Prize Bubble. The right stick lets you adjust the size of the highlighted area to be captured, and your captured objects appear under My Objects in the Goodies bag.
Slice ‘N Dice
After plopping down a big chunk of material, it might become necessary to break it down a little without reducing any of its mass. Use the Slice ‘N Dice tool to select points on a material to cut between. The two parts are now separate, although they are still conjoined by Glue.
Dephysicalize
This ghostly apparition of a tool removes all physical properties of an object. It can help reduce the load of your level, and it’s also great for special effects. Do be careful, though: once dephysicalized, not even the level floor can stop the effects of gravity.
Rail Editor
Whenever you feel the need to put a few more bends in a Bendy Rail, the Rail Editor is the tool for you. Select a laid Bendy Rail, and you can extend, retract, or add pivots to your heart’s delight.
Stickers and Decorations
Sticker & Decoration Edit Tool
It’s astoundingly easy to get carried away with slapping stickers and Decorations willy-nilly. Use the Sticker & Decoration Edit Tool to take a step back in order to lift, move, and delete such accouterments.
Sticker Cutter
Sometimes, you just want to add some depth and volume to a sticker. The Sticker Cutter is a huge timesaver, automatically trimming away all the excess material of an object and leaving only the shape of the stickers placed on it.
Paint
There are definitely a lot of stickers to collect in LittleBigPlanet 3, but they all have one thing in common: you did not make them. That oversight ends now. Use Paint to make your own masterworks that can be slapped onto levels forevermore.
Once in the canvas, use 
to select a color, 
to toggle between the brush and scatter application options, 
to select a brush, 
to pick your color, and when you’re finally ready to put pigment to paper. Saving and exiting this mode (as well as many advanced options) are done in the Options menu.
Sticker Scrubber
When you are looking for a bottle of bleach rather than a pair of tweezers, upgrade from the Sticker & Decoration Edit Tool to the Sticker Scrubber. With this tool, a tap of over anything removes all stickers and Decorations in one go.
Hazards
The Danger Tools
Add a little peril to your levels using an assortment of Danger Tools. Choose from Electricity, Fire, Plasma, or Horrible Gas. Then, select the object you want to turn hazardous. Realize you’ve crafted an elaborate death trap with no escape? Not to worry: the Unlethalize tool restores the selected object to its original harmless state.
Cameras
Game Camera
Beauty is said to be in the eye of the beholder, so give beholding players a nice view. Place a Game Camera where players can trigger it to alter their native Game Camera’s perspective. Adjust the angle and zoom to frame the perfect picture of your level layout.

Load Linker
The Load Linker works very much like the Advanced Glue Tool, except that rather than affixing things physically, it groups items together within a loadable area. This becomes most important when you begin working with several timed elements.
Preloader
Ever wish you had a little more warning before people just showed up at your house—don’t they know it takes time to put pants on?!? The Preloader gives just the kind of warning to your levels. When one of these is activated, it loads in a preset portion of your level, ensuring that it is ready to go when players arrive. This is very helpful in moving players via the Player Teleporter or another instantaneous travel tool.
The Preloader can be triggered by a Sensor. When none is attached, then it functions like a Player Sensor.
