Characters are story-related creatures who appear throughout the LittleBigPlanet games. These characters tend to be Creator Curators, or NPCs like The King, or Newton who guide you through a level or create obstacles for you within Story Mode.
The original characters created by Media Molecule in LittleBigPlanet 1 and LittleBigPlanet PSP were flat 2D characters made with the Tools & Objects from Create Mode. This also allowed players to remake or make their own characters in a similar way. When LittleBigPlanet 2 came along, all in characters in Story Mode appeared as Sackbots much like Sackboy, enabling these characters' costumes to be unlocked and wearable by Sackboy or used as Sackbots. This was continued in LittleBigPlanet 3 with addition of characters like Toggle having their own custom looks & animations.
Playable Characters
Sack-Thing | |
---|---|
The main character in the LittleBigPlanet series is "you", or in other words Sackboy or Sackgirl.
The Sackperson is often referred to as a hero as he is mainly responsible for destruction of the main antagonists in the LittleBigPlanet games. The Sackperson is smaller than other characters, either because they are a child or at a young age, though it is more likely to be the case that that they are just small in stature. Not surprisingly, they have appeared in every game to date. In LittleBigPlanet 3, Sackthing meets some new friends to help him explore Bunkum: Oddsock, Toggle, and Swoop. |
OddSock | |
---|---|
OddSock is the first new friend that Sackboy meets in LittleBigPlanet 3. Oddsock has four legs and can run a lot faster than the other characters, and wall jump. It's said that they hate flat surfaces. She is first encountered in Manglewood. |
Toggle | |
---|---|
Toggle is the second friend you meet. He can change between being small & light, and big & heavy. He hates arguing with himself. He is first encountered in The Ziggurat |
Swoop | |
---|---|
Swoop is the third and last playable character, a bird who can fly and pick up grabbable objects and characters. She is first encountered in Bunkum Lagoon. |
The Narrator
The Narrator is the voice that guides the player in each LittleBigPlanet game. The English language narrator is usually Stephen Fry. However, in the Move Pack, he is replaced by an unknown woman, he only appears in the beginning to tell you that he has to leave, because Susan got peanut butter stuck to her mouth. There is yet another different Narrator in the LittleBigPlanet 3 tutorials; the voice is David Dino, an employee at Sumo Digital who worked as a level designer on the game. A lot of LittleBigPlanet players did not like David's voice, so it's likely he will not return in the future.
Susan
Susan is the Narrator's fussy cat. she is mentioned constantly, and also appears in the tutorial videos of LittleBigPlanet 2, LittleBigPlanet 3 and LittleBigPlanet Karting.
