Sackboy: Race the Unexpected! was an online Adobe Flash game made to promote the release of LittleBigPlanet Karting. Developed by Kerb, it was a top-down racing game in which players could compete against their Facebook friends to set the fastest time on the leaderboard. A code for an exclusive PlayStation 3 theme was awarded on completion.[1]
This game has only been partially preserved in the aftermath of Adobe Flash's retirement. While the .swf file containing the game has been archived and can be run in a Flash Player emulator like Ruffle, the actual race data was stored on an external server that no longer exists; without a race track, the game cannot progress beyond the menus, and is now unplayable as a result.
