Storyline

LittleBigPlanet takes place in a world filled with creations crafted by the Creator Curators. One of these Curators, a renegade named "the Collector," is hoarding the creations of others and keeping them hidden from the world—something that goes against the game’s core value of sharing. The game begins in the "Gardens," where players meet the King, a Curator, along with the Queen, Little Xim, Big Zam, and Dumpty. This level serves as the tutorial, teaching the basics of movement: running, jumping, and grabbing. The next area is the "Savannah," where the player unintentionally damages one of the ruler’s creations. To earn forgiveness, the player must uncover what is frightening the ruler’s buffalo. The journey continues with quests to find Meerkat Mum’s missing son and a Bridegroom, a storyline inspired by the Day of the Dead. After the wedding, the adventure moves to the "Canyons," where the player must rescue Uncle Jalapeño and battle the villainous Sheriff Zapata. Upon completing this, the player arrives in the "Metropolis," where they receive a car for a racing challenge. The next stage is the "Islands," where the player learns martial arts and faces the fearsome Terrible Oni. From there, the player travels to the "Temples" to obtain a flame-throwing cat. It is here that the Great Magician appears and instructs the player to confront the Collector in his "Wilderness." After the climactic battle, it is revealed that the Collector is a lonely individual who kidnapped others out of isolation. Moved by the player’s kindness, the Collector accepts friendship from everyone, including the player, and his villainy comes to an end.
