Trivia

 * All games' online services were shutdown in Japan, mostly due to poor sales of the franchise in the country. Well that's what they told us, but in reality they just updated the game to not let Japanese consoles access the server. I don't know why they did this since all regions are connected to one server and it would not reduce the cost of the server. there are some rumors though, such as the translation team not wanting to work on the franchise anymore.
 * A common misspelling of the franchise's name is "Little Big Planet".
 * Media Molecule did not produce Run Sackboy! Run!, LittleBigPlanet 3, and Sackboy: A Big Adventure.
