As in previous titles in the LittleBigPlanet series, players control a character named Sackboy through a variety of worlds utilising the character's various abilities such as jumping and grabbing objects. It also features various non-platforming mini-games. Numerous multiplayer options are available. As well as up to four-player online competitive or co-op gameplay, the PlayStation Vita's multi-touch display can be used by two players for competitive games. "Pass'n'Play" is also available, enabling turn-based gameplay.[7] The rear touchpanels present on the Playstation Vita is also used for pushing objects toward the player, creating platforms out of parts of the world.[8]
Players are able to create their own levels and share them online using the PlayStation Network. The PlayStation Vita's touch-screen display can be used to directly draw objects and platforms in the game world. As well as unique creation tools such as these, the game also includes all of the tools available in LittleBigPlanet 2. Costumes used to customise the player's character are transferable between the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita games.[7] Content can also be shared over both Wi-Fi and a 3G network.[8]
