To do: Quite a few things... Let's try to make most of these additions a requirement in most Level Pages. Add More Screenshots, footage, etc. Add Related Level Keys. Possibly Add Character Appearances within this Level. Possibly Add Assets used within the Level. Possibly Add a Walkthrough Guide for this Level.

Get a Grip is the second main level in the PlayStation 3 version of LittleBigPlanet's story mode, and the third level in The Gardens. Similar to First Steps, it is a very basic tutorial type level where the many characters teach you about everything to do with grabbing. Additionally you learn how to place decorations and use it to win a Wooden Steed race to the scoreboard.

Overview

“	Learn to grab things.	„
— Level description

Get a Grip continues the player's adventure as the King greets you inside a small town. He tells you how to grab, and afterward the player navigates their way over a few wooden walls, pulling spongy objects to be able to scale over the top of them. Upon exiting the town the player meets a Wooden Steed, who tells the player to jump on its back and ride down the hill infront of them. After the ride, the player meets yet another Wooden Steed, who informs them how to put more strength into the players pushing and pulling actions; by pressing the jump button repeatedly while pushing, the Steed is able to continue and be used as a platform for the player to progress forward. Next, a structure needs climbing, two large wooden platforms only reachable by pulling and pushing a couple more wooden steeds around. At the top platform, the player needs to cover a hole in the Steed's path with a bit of sponge, which lets the Steed be ridden down another hill to the next set of obstacles. Along the journey forward, the player encounters a castle guarded by a treacherous moat that kills the player when attempted to be swam in.

Using seesaws and swinging balls of sponge to climb atop the castle, the player is able to collect the level key to Tie Skipping, the only Survival Challenge in the Gardens. The Queen meets the player at another Tutorial TV, where it tells the player how to place decorations. The player places the donkey tail on the Wooden Steed, and after a short intro to races by one of the Birds, the player races ontop of the Steed down to the scoreboard where the King congratulates the player on their prowess on grabbing.

This level is another to use the Yellow Star sticker for Sticker Switches that allow the player more prizes after completing Skate to Victory, and obtaining the Yellow Star sticker for themself.

The King

Time to get a grip! You can grab some materials using the button. Try scaling these walls and you'll get the idea.

Small Wooden Steed

I'm a wooden steed, I am. Drag me by grabbing my soft material, then jump on and we can go for a ride!

Small Wooden Steed

If you want more oomph when dragging, press the button repeatedly!

Small Wooden Steed

To hang from an object, jump and then hold down the grab button (). You can swing using the . Try getting over that wall using these sponges.

Little Xim

Keys will unlock survival challenges and score challenges, so be sure to keep a look out - some are really hard to find!

The Queen

You're doing great! Place a tail decoration on my wooden steed and you may proceed. Jump on the red button if you need to learn how.

Large Wooden Steed

My tail looks great, thanks! Hop on board, hold tight and let's race!

Birdy On a String

Ready for a race? Get to the finish post as quickly as possible for bonus points!

The King

Great! You're really getting to grips with the basics! All players stand in front of the scoreboard. Let's see how well you did!

Tutorials

Placing Decorations Tutorial

Narrator

Placing decorations. This is where all those wasted hours watching pointless TV decorating shows really doesn't pay off. It's easy peasy! Open your POPIT, and select the STICKERS and DECORATIONS icon. Did you know you could use the PAGE buttons to quickly jump from one page to the next? Try now to move across to the DECORATIONS page. Now choose something that leaps off the screen; and metaphorically kisses you passionately. Use the ACTION button to select it. It's rather like the stickers feature isn't it? In-fact, it's exactly like it! And you can position and place decorations, in precisely the same way.

Quotes

“	You have to learn to walk before you can run, or in this case before you can grab – so now you’ve become a first class runner, it’s time to grab things. The King and Queen’s castle makes a perfect place to swing about the place, and ride the royal steeds.	„
