Dialogue

Larry Da Vinci

I knew you were near as I have a connection to all the LittleBigPlanet superstars.

Larry Da Vinci

You'll find CONNECTORS in the TOOLS BAG.

Larry Da Vinci

CONNECTORS connect things and your bog standard connector is your basic ROD.

Larry Da Vinci

Once you've selected the ROD, ease your cursor over the edge of the first object you want to connect it to, and then, press the ACTION BUTTON.

Larry Da Vinci

Repeat this for the edge of the second object and hey-presto!

Larry Da Vinci

The ROD will connect the two objects together.

Larry Da Vinci

Next we have STRING. It's just like a rod, except it's flexible.

Larry Da Vinci

What you lose in control you gain in uncontrollability.

Larry Da Vinci

All connectors can be tweaked once placed.

Larry Da Vinci

Hover over the STRING and press the MENU BUTTON.

Larry Da Vinci

You might want to tweak the LENGTH of the STRING to be shorter.

Larry Da Vinci

This will bring the two objects closer together.

Larry Da Vinci

When you're content with your tweaks, close the POPIT with the BACK BUTTON to deselect the attached objects.

Larry Da Vinci

SPRINGS next.

Larry Da Vinci

Bring up the SPRING'S tweak menu with the MENU BUTTON.

Larry Da Vinci

SPRINGS are special in that they have tweaks for both LENGTH and STRENGTH.

Larry Da Vinci

If I were you l'd have a play with these tweak values to get an understanding of what they do and why they're there.

Larry Da Vinci

The final connector is ELASTIC, and it's very similar to string connectors but also totally different.

Larry Da Vinci

Pull on an ELASTIC connector and it may have a nice little bounce to it.

Larry Da Vinci

Attach it to the ceiling and the sponge here.

Larry Da Vinci

Just like you attached the other connectors.

Larry Da Vinci

Observe, the Elastic tweak menu also has LENGTH and STRENGTH options.

Larry Da Vinci

You may have to use both to solve these next puzzles.

Larry Da Vinci

So there you have it, all four connector types.

Larry Da Vinci

Try them all out, tweak and fiddle with them, find a favorite and above all have fun with them!

Larry Da Vinci

Look at you go! You are a true Popit master.

Larry Da Vinci

Quick, don your Term 1 graduation gown and meet me on the podium for a picture!

Larry Da Vinci

Say brieee!
