LittleBigPlanet Walkthrough

The three levels in The Gardens will introduce you to the ins and outs of LittleBigPlanet. While these levels may seem simplistic at first, there are actually some well hidden Item Bubbles (which contain stickers, costumes and more, check out our Basics section for an in-depth explanation) you'll have to hunt down for 100% completion. Throughout the first level, be sure Dumpty, the talking egg, lives up to his namesake by tipping him off the various platforms he appears on for Score and Item Bubbles.

Hop up the mushrooms and you'll come to the first Sticker Spot (1/2), which you'll have to return to once you get the Rainbow Shoe Switch Trigger Sticker later in the level. If you slap on that sticker, you'll get a few Item Bubbles and a race for your trouble.

Carefully hop into a space on the water wheel to cross the water. You can hop in place for some Score Bubbles if you'd like. When you come to Dumpty again, you can knock him off his soapbox after his speech to make a platform to the Score Bubbles on the left. Grab the Item Bubbles here and continue onward.

At the bridge, make a leap of faith to grab the "bird" that descends, this avoiding a lesson in self-destruction. If you do fall down, you'll have to detonate yourself and lose out on acing the level (to ace a level you must not lose any lives, there's more on that in our Basics section). When you come to the Queen she'll ask you to slap some stickers on the King—whose body comprises the second Sticker Spot (2/2).

Pull out your Pop It menu and find the Round Blue Body and Rainbow Shoe triggers in the Switch Trigger section and place them on the cardboard outlines they match. The King will then knock down the drawbridge allowing you to proceed.

There are a few more item bubbles at the end of the level; grab them and hop on the platform to exit.
