Extra Life

The Extra Life is an item found in Sackboy: A Big Adventure. When the player collects one, it will float above their head and then zoom towards the life counter, increasing the counter by one. If the life counter if full when collecting one, 50 points are added to the player's score (100 with the score doubler enabled).

The extra life appears randomly when defeating an enemy, popping a balloon, pulling a spongey object from the ground and more. They start spawning when the life counter is below the maximum and stop spawning when it reaches the maximum. Extra lives can also be collected by destroying a surprise egg that has one highlighted. It's the only way to get an extra life without dying.

Extra lives look like white, glowing coins with Sackboy's face on it. It rolls on the ground depending on the way it spawns and when it loses enough momentum, it drops on the floor like a coin, occasionally shaking. It reacts with the environment and the enemies can move it around. The extra life icon on the surprise egg also features Sackboy's face popping up when the egg is destroyed by the player.
