A Level Key is a collectible used to access other levels, typically locked levels, when collected.

Usage and Behaviour

The Level Key occupies a single layer, and like bubbles, can be collected by a player passing through it. Once collected, it will unlock the level it contains.

Level Keys are created when a player publishes a level; the key for that level will appear in their Popit after it is published, with the level's icon to the upper right of the key icon.

In LittleBigPlanet Portable, Level Keys are only found in the Story Mode levels, and cannot be used by players. Unlike the other games, a key will be permanently removed from the level it was found in once it has been collected.

In LittleBigPlanet 2, the ability for Level Keys to be collected by triggering them with a switch was added.

Visual Styles

The Level Key has gone through many design revisions. Notably, the Golden Gems design is used in Story Levels and for the popit icon, but the Green Foil design is used for the player's saved Level Keys.

The Brass designs aren't in the final release of the game, but exist in earlier builds.
