This page is a tad short. A stub, if you will.

You can help by expanding the article with more information.

To do:

• Overview of the powerup's behaviour.
• Development history.
• Perhaps some examples of how the powerup has been used in Story levels.

The Creatinator is a powerup that allows Sackboy to shoot all sorts of objects from his head. It has been used as the basis for several projectile-based powerups since its introduction, including the Blink Ball in LittleBigPlanet 3.

Shoot at touchpoint (LBP Vita only): ( No •‎ Touchscreen •‎ Rear Touch Pad •‎ Both ) If set to one of the touch options, the Creatinator shoots towards the player's finger on either the Touchscreen, Rear Touch Pad, or both. Otherwise, the player aims with as normal.

Ammo: (1 - 1,000) Sets how many times the chosen object can be emitted by the Creatinator. Setting this value below 1 grants the player infinite ammo.

Accuracy: (0% - 100%) Determines how accurate the Creatinator's shots are, indicated by a coloured cone in front of the cannon's barrel. At 0%, projectiles will travel in a random direction within a 90° angle radius of the cannon's barrel.

Timing

Single shot (LBP Vita only): ( No •‎ Yes ) If set to Yes, the Creatinator will only shoot one projectile per button press or touch. If set to No, the Creatinator will fire a constant stream of objects as long as , the touch screen, or the rear touch pad is held depending on the setting.
