The Gardens[]
The King is the first character you meet once you enter First Steps. He gives you a warm welcome at the start of the level, and then meets you once more at the end of the level, right next to the scoreboard. The King is seen once more in Get a Grip to summarise what you're about to do in that level. Then, in Skate to Victory, he can be seen at the start and end of the level, which ends his major appearances of The Gardens.
The Wilderness[]
The King is held captive in The Collector's Lair, along with the Queen. Setting him free rewards you with the King as an Object for Create Mode at the very end of the level.
LittleBigPlanet 2[]
The King can be found at Eve's Asylumļ»æ along with other characters from the first LittleBigPlanet game. Although showing no signs of a physical infestation of Meanies, like Dr. Herbert Higginbotham, it is possible he was there to cure him of the Meanie Virus.
LittleBigPlanet Karting[]
The King appears in the opening cinematic where he is being Taken by The Hoard, but appeared in the tracks in the Gardens. The Queen mentions that ever since The King was released from Eve's Asylum, he wanders around sometimes. he was shown in Hoard Sweet Hoard. The King can also be obtained as a picture frame and an object.
LittleBigPlanet 3[]
The King can be seen in Swoop's portion of The Great Escape in Bunkum Lagoon. This time, he is shown to be mechanical, as if Newton tried to recreate him. This version wears Newton's bowler hat instead of a crown and wears purple clothing along with the eyes being screws. He appears to jump around, sometimes making mechanical, broken versions of his voice. This version of his voice can be used as a sound effect in Create Mode.
The Journey Home[]
The King reappears in to guide OddSock and gives them the Springinator, and also destroys the ghost mini-boss for them.
He is later seen at the party fully welcoming the Heroes back on Craftworld . he also appears on one of the party pictures where he looks disoriented while Sackboy and a small Toggle happily standing on his shoulders.

Trivia[]
- Though not present in any physical form, The King's gibberish voice can be found in the PSP and the PS Vita games, located in the game's Magic Mouth tweak menu.
- A puppet of him appears in the Seaside Surprise Level Kit near the beginning, happily hitting a puppet of The Collector on the head.
- Along with The Queen, he is the only character in LittleBigPlanet whose Magic Mouth sound file is explicitly identified with them.
- The King object obtained from The Collector's Lair is different to how he appears in story mode; his head-rocking mechanism is simplified, and his mouth is not red.
- He appears to love animal-shaped cheese crackers as he mentions in The Journey Home.
- To get his costume, the player needs to send all six invitations to the party.
- The king has appeared in every main line game in some way.
- In early pre-order trailers for LittleBigPlanet, specifically in "I Don't Wanna Grow Up" and "King's Garden", the King is seen with an early design and that design alone looks more reminiscent to the unused pirate character in English Seaside.
- Throughout the entirety of LBP1 and his cameo in LBP2, he mainly uses the Jolly sound clip all the time.
- According to some unused dialogue for the English Seaside, both The King and The Pirate were originally going to be siblings, as the pirate refers to the king as his cousin.
- There's also a early version of the finalized King icon for the Gardens and it appeared in the build from June 2008. this early version of the photograph fortunately gets reused in the final game, as it serves as the icon for the achievement when completing The Gardens for the first time.
- There is unused dialogue in LBP3 that references the gibberish speaking of The King's appearance in the first game. Initially, he spoke in the usual gibberish, before correcting himself, with one line mentioning how he had a lemon drop caught in his throat for years.
- The King appears in Dreams in a level created by Media Molecule to celebrate LBP's 10th Anniversary.
- The King, along side Dumpty originally supposed to appear in Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale as part of the Dreamscape stage, however the two were removed as the stage evolved into what we have now.
