Little Big Planet: Karting Guide Walkthrough Story Mode

Victoria’s Laboratory

After congratulating Huge Monster for successfully hatching a newborn monster, our sack hero leaves the salty bitter taste of the beach to a much sweeter place: The chocolate- and frost-covered land known throughout the Craftverse as Victoria’s Laboratory.

Mixing mad science and baked artistry in her sophisticated Laboratory/Kitchen, Victoria von Bathysphere, the treat-laden land’s Creator Curator is… nowhere to be found. Instead, the burlap kartineer discovers the Hoard zooming about the sugary lands, filling their karts with all the sweet goodies.

In fact, only one of Victoria’s lab rats (and a very fat one at that) barely seems to notice the commotion rolling by. Proclaiming himself Lord Vernon, the portly rat gorges on Victoria’s sweets, saying the treats are his birthright. With their leader missing in action, it’s your sack person’s duty to clear the land of desserts from the Hoard menace.

Sugar Rush

Victoria’s sweetly decorated lands–from its chocolate rivers that flow through the gardens, and on through its elaborate pastry factory—are quickly being picked apart. Placing Vernon’s tantrum aside, our sack hero rides out to knock out the Hoard’s sweet tooth. And hey, with all the sweets lying around, it doesn’t hurt to take a snack break whenever the knitted one can spare one.

The Confection Infection

In order to successfully chase off the Hoard, your sack person has to travel along the gingerbread road that connects the sugarcoated gardens to the large, pastry-producing laboratory. There aren’t any wild jumps or grapple swings to worry about in this relatively flat course, but there are loads of other obstacles to keep your sack person busy. Cruise through each area, watching out for pastry-related obstacles and collecting the 19 prize bubbles scattered about the level.

1—The Fluffy Cake Rises

Before entering the kitchen laboratory, navigate your kart through the sweeping “S” curve. Follow the score bubbles along each curve to hit the inside race line and pick up two prize bubbles. Pick up a weaponator and some score bubbles as your kart passes the laboratory’s front gate.

Even with the Hoard flying about, the laboratory continues to produce a never-ending stream of cakes. The roads inside the laboratory travel through each assembly line, weaving through a couple of switchbacks.

There are a lot of prize bubbles to collect inside the laboratory. Lined up on both sides of the laboratory walls, it may take a couple of passes through the cake machinery to gather them all. Keep those eyes peeled and steer into as many prizes as sackingly possible, but keep a steady pace going forward.

2—The Sweet Sugar Supplier

After passing through the laboratory, the course returns to the sickly sweet gardens. The road travels along some mild curves, then banks right into the final right turn before crossing the finish line. As your sack person drives through this final stretch, be sure to collect the prize bubbles lined up on either side of the road.

Current Events

It takes a lot of power to continue running that large confectionary contraption. Deep below the laboratory’s assembly line lies a complex power plant filled with an assortment of electrical wires and computer chips. Not content with physical objects, the Hoard straps poor Vernon to the intricately built Brainwave Machine, a device that drains brainergy from anyone attached to it. Defeat the Hoard and free the overweight rodent.

Battle in the Octagon

High voltage energy flows dangerously through this battle arena. The electrical hazards ensure that those entering the power plant’s electric cage may never come out. Avoid all the shocking obstacles that scream across all eight sides of the arena to stay ahead of the Hoard. Seek and destroy the Hoard to rack up your sack person’s score, but be wary of the other things out to harm it. A cautious and vicious driver can come out of the plant in one piece.

Conflicting Currents

Weaponators are spread out over the arena, but the pickups supplied on each row are sparse, with a few spots carrying more than two at a time. The ramp located on one end of the arena is a perfect place to set up a killer attack run. It’s easy to tag enemies while circling in and out of the ramp. The ramp also is a good place from which to fire most projectiles, targeting any foolish driver crossing the middle of the arena.

Shocking Prizes

Generating a plethora of treasures are the nine prize bubbles around the stage. Make a quick run around the outer wall of the plant to pick up a good majority of the prizes. The remaining prizes form another smaller circle around the big red button.

The Big Red Button

In this level, a keen driver who keeps tabs on the big red button in the middle of the arena can completely dominate the match. The red button activates every couple of seconds, glowing bright red to indicate it’s ready. Run over and push the button to supercharge your kart.

Like the shockwave, a supercharged kart is surrounded with long volts of electricity that destroys any kart in its radius. Other than the wider radius, the bolts also last a little longer than the standard shockwave. If your sack person manages to hit this game-changing button, track down and finish off as many enemies as possible until the juice runs out.

Cakes on a Train

After stealing most of Victoria’s most prized pastries, the Hoard has loaded up their delicious loot into the Creator Curator’s very own train engines. Marking the once majestic locomotives with juvenile graffiti, the Hoard plan to make a clean getaway with both candy-coated trains with the land’s treasured treats stowed inside. Realizing his steady snack supply is in jeopardy, self proclaimed Lord Vernon, The Lab Rat and The Chancellor of the Cakes has requested your sack person’s assistance in its retrieval.

The Great Train Robbery

Behind the wheel of that speedy kart, drive through the roads surrounding Victoria’s railways. The Hoard’s kart gang patrols the roads to protect their stolen train and the tasty cargo it carries. Beat the Hoard in a race to stop this train heist once and for all.

The country roads surrounding the rail system have a few sharp corners, but are peppered with plenty of windy sections. Dispersed along the snaking curves and even stowed away on the train are 18 prize bubbles. Collect all the prizes on the way to victory.

1—The Long and Winding Road

Coming off the starting line, the roads stick close to the railway, winding through the surrounding hills and valleys, until reaching the first rail crossing. Prize bubbles litter these windy roads, attached to the end of some score bubble strings. When your kart arrives at the train overpass, grab a weaponator as your kart drives under the bridge, and steer into the area behind center pillar to find the prize bubble hiding behind it. Ahead of the overpass is a whiplash-inducing hairpin. Veer into the right side of the turn to pick up the prize bubble in the middle of the turn.

2—Tipping the Scales

Had enough of windy roads? That’s too bad, cause there are more consecutive “s” curves to tackle as your sack person enters the gingerbread town ahead. Make the most out of this visit, gathering all the prize bubbles that sit on the streets. The large scales installed throughout the town are sure to measure your sack person’s patience. Its large baked contents seesaw right onto the track. Prize bubbles are placed under some of the weighting platforms, forcing your kart directly into their path. Find an opening and zip under the platform to snag the prizes.

3—End of the Line

Leaving the town behind, only a jam-filled river and two sweeping bends lie between your sack person and the finish line. The corners in this final stretch change from the short chicanes into long and gentle curves. The course may have eased up a bit, but the obstacles continue to pile up around your sack person. There are a couple more prize bubbles to snag, so keep those eyes peeled for those shiny spheres filled with goodies.

Don’t Go Baking My Kart

Sweet Hurdles

At the heart of Victoria’s treat-producing laboratory is one of her greatest creations, the Cake-o-Matic. The auto baking apparatus spits out a constant stream of cakes and pastries. The always hungry, Lord Vernon, cranks up the production to unheard of speeds, causing the device to overload.

The lab rat has lost control of the device with our sack person caught in the production line. With a flaming oven behind your sack person, avoid the endless barrage of treats coming from the other side. Press or to hop over the incoming sweets and survive the barrage as long as possible. Each cleared sweet adds to the total score. Hop over a ton of cakes to post an amazing score and show off that jumping skills to the community!
