Line 11:
Now we have the [[PS 3]] sequel, ''LittleBigPlanet 2'', which dramatically improves the editing tools available for the players.
... Did we tell you that there's also a sequel coming for the Playstation Vita soon? And a... [[Spin
----
Line 19:
* [[Bribing Your Way to Victory]] A less observable phenomenon throughout the series and does not apply literally. However, it is worth noting that about the same weeks that notable DLC packs come out (eg Metal Gear Solid, Pirates of the Caribbean etc), a lot of levels simply containing the new content begin to surface sucking up all the ratings and fame that they can get before the said content becomes ordinary. Probably the biggest example of this was when the Pirates of the Caribbean DLC came out resulting in thousands of people spamming levels consisting of nothing but water with the occasional rocket-powered boat.
* [[Character Customization]]
* [[

*** [[Everythings Better With Zippers|He even has a giant zipper!]] (Okay, it's a normal-sized zipper, but it's proportionally huge to the three-inch tall Sackboy.)
** [[

** [[Everythings Funkier With Disco|Disco anyone?]]
** [[Frickin' Laser Beams|The creatinator can shoot many different Elemental Beams]]
** Some of the costumes [[Instant Awesome Just Add Dragons|are]] [[Instant Awesome Just Add Mecha|just]] [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Ninja|instant]] [[Instant Plunder, Just Add Pirates|awesome]]
** [[Pretty in Mink|The Robots in Avalonia have furr]]
** [[Stuff Blowing Up]].
Line 39:
** The Asylum is hippie-themed, except for Eve herself... Medicinal drugs, anyone?
** In the second level of Avalonia, when The Negativatron attacks, Avalon exclaims, "My impregnable fortress has been impregnated!"
* [[One
* [[Downloadable Content]]: The Metal Gear expansion mentioned before also gives a Snake costume, as well as Meryl, and one of the bosses. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4c-gtqZZSnw&feature=player_profilepage And as seen here,] there is downloadable content involving ''The [[Watchmen]]''.
** Now, there are theme packs for the PSP. Some costumes from the packs are free, however.
Line 52:
* [[Oxygen Meter]]: If a Sackperson stays underwater for 30 seconds without resurfacing or reaching a Bubble Maker, they pop from lack of air.
* [[Please Subscribe to Our Channel]]: Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find a genuine comment that's actually about a level, and not begging you to play/heart the commenter's own levels. Note- This is nigh impossible. {{spoiler|Even Liquid Ocelot resorts to spamming to garner hearts- see below}}
* [[Power Creep, Power Seep]]: In the [[Metal Gear Solid]] themed expansion pack, Liquid Ocelot's plan is to {{spoiler|flood LBP with pointless trophy levels so that he can be loved,}} and the Metal Gear itself is essentially beaten by a Sackboy with a paintball gun.
* [[Punk Punk]]: Stitchpunk.
** The sequel also has [[Clock Punk]], [[Steampunk]], and [[Cyberpunk]] themes.
Line 59:
* [[Speaking Simlish]]: Magic Mouths have an option that allows them to emit various versions of this.
* [[Stealth Pun]]: Sackboy's default look is stated to be made of hessian material. It's also worth mentioning a few of his outfit sets are themed around various types of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hessian_(soldiers) soldiers.]
* [[
* [[Tertiary Sexual Characteristics]]: Determining a sackboy or sackgirl is based solely on what clothing and design options the player places on them.
* [[Unexpected Gameplay Change]]: More so in the sequel. LBP1 featured unlockable side levels containing various mini-games, but they were completely optional. In LBP2, about halfway through the main storyline (that is, ignoring the side levels), conventional platforming starts taking a backseat to top-down and side-scrolling shmups and other arcade genres.
Line 67:
=== LittleBigPlanet 1 Tropes: ===
* [[Advancing Boss of Doom]]: Skulldozer is the "run away until you reach the end" type.
* [[Big
** The entire Wedding level. It's being celebrated by [[Dem Bones|skeletons]].
* [[Blackout Basement]]: The Darkness.
* [[Bowdlerise]]: One of the songs, Tapha Niang, originally contained two passages from the Koran; to not offend any Muslims who might object to the use of the quotes, Sony delayed the game right before its launch in order to patch the discs in order to replace the song with a version without the lyrics. It wasn't so much because of the fact that they might offend the Muslims, but it's more likely that they did it because of the fact that [[Lyrical Dissonance|you hear talk about how everyone's going to die while swinging around on random safari animals.]]
* [[Collection Sidequest]]: Getting all of the prizes may seem like this, but they can actually be useful.
* [[Deadly Gas]]: [[Two Words Obvious Trope|Two Words]]: [[Exactly What It Says On the Tin|Horrible Gas]]. If a Sackperson touches it (even with their arms or feet, not just their head), they ''dissolve''. Horrible Gas actually comes in six colors, but green is the most common. The others are used mostly to make the player think it's something else, like gray gas for fog, or purple gas for some kind of monster-related thing, as seen in the "Monsters" level pack. Unless it's deliberately attached to something else (done by gluing a material to a Piston or another material before lethalizing it with the Horrible Gas Tool, as shown by the {{spoiler|ghosts}} of the third level of The Gardens), it stays in place and cannot be moved. Anything that isn't a Sackperson can move through the gas, however. A lot of level creators have this as their hazard of choice, though [[X
* [[Endless Game]]: The user levels have grown beyond the point where a person could ever hope to play them all.
** Also, the survival challenges.
Line 85:
* [[Humongous Mecha]]:
** {{spoiler|The Collecter}} pilots one during the final battle.
** You also fight Metal Gear REX at the end of the [[Metal Gear Solid]] expansion pack. [[Power Creep, Power Seep|With a paintball gun to boot]]!
* [[Malevolent Architecture]]: The [[Fan Nickname|wheel of death]] in "[[That One Level|The Bunker]]" level.
* [[Ominous Latin Chanting|Ominous Russian Chanting]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xy84N_U5jw0 The Battle on the Ice], which is played during the final stage and many a custom level. Also would have had hints of ominous Arabic chanting if it wasn't for the aforementioned bowdlerization.
* [[One
* [[Remilitarized Zone]]: Most of The Wilderness.
* [[Rescue Romance]]: One of the [http://www.mediamolecule.com/littlebigplanet/ trailers] subverts this at the end.
Line 125:
* [[Face Ship]]: The Huge Spaceship, which has Sackboy's face on it.
* [[Feathered Fiend]]: Copernicus the Guard Turkey.
* [[Five
** [[The Hero]]: Larry Da Vinci.
** [[The Lancer]]: Avalon Centrifuge.
Line 140:
** Avalonia mixes [[Floating Continent]] (it's a city in the sky) with [[Tomorrowland]].
** According to Game Informer's June 2010 reveal of [[LBP 2]], ''all'' story mode themes were supposed to have a clash of themes: Da Vinci's Study mixed modern technology with the Renaissance, Avalonia was described as "Fluffy High-Tech," the Factory of a Better Tomorrow included neon styling and [[Cold War]]-esque propaganda, Eve's Asylum was "based on a designed, controlled version of nature," and The Cosmos fused LBP's classic handmade look with old-school arcade graphics.
* [[Heads I Win, Tails You Lose]]: {{spoiler|One boss fight has you fighting one of the Negativitron's ships while protecting Avalon's ship, and keeping it from taking too much damage. However, once you deal the final blow, the enemy ship shoots a missile and brings down Avalon's ship anyway.}}
* [[The Heartless]]: {{spoiler|The Negativitron, or so it claims.}}
* [[Hey
* [[Knight of Cerebus]]: The Negativitron.
* [[Locomotive Level]]: "Runaway Train"
* [[Non
* [[Not So Different]]: {{spoiler|The Negativitron tries mixing this with [[Tomato in The Mirror]], claiming that he IS the protagonists... or at least their vices, anyway. This is never elaborated on, though, nor [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment|ever mentioned again]].}}
* [[Old Save Bonus]]: Pretty much everything you made or unlocked in the first game is present in the second, and can be added onto your LBP2 profile
Line 159:
* [[Sour Supporter]]: Clive Handforth.
* [[Sugar Apocalypse]]: Victoria's lab.
* [[Super Not
* [[Tree Top Town]]: Eve's Asylum for the Mentally Alternative, although it's more of an insane asylum than a town.
* [[
* [[What Could Have Been]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afjZUFRNLqc&feature=related The first] level seen in the video was originally supposed to be a part of the final boss fight.
** Avalon was suppose to be evil, and basically everything at E3 2010 changed after the music sequencer.
