This page is a work in progress.

As a result, the layout and/or content herein may be subject to change.

Further details: The Throwable Handle in the Alpha is in a more functional state. Compare this to what's left in the final game, and check the other prototypes to figure out when it stopped working.

The Throwable Handle is a unused gadget found in the data of LittleBigPlanet 3, which can be attached to objects to turn them into throwable Sackpocket Items. Of the four scrapped powerup handles, this is the only one with any unique surviving functionality in the final game.

Usage and Behaviour

Throwable Handles can be placed onto any surface, but have no immediate functionality until the attached object is captured using the Capture Sackpocket Item Tool; from there, it can be given to players through a Powerup Pedestal, a Sackpocket Pedestal, or a Sackpocket Tweaker. When equipped, Sackboy will hold the powerup at the point on the object where the Throwable Handle was placed. If there are multiple handles attached to the same object, Sackboy will grab whichever one was placed first.

Despite having three outputs, only the top one appears to do anything. It outputs an analogue signal based on how far is pushed in any direction (representing throw strength); when the player presses to throw the object, the analogue signal cuts out and a permanent digital ON signal takes its place.

As with the Blaster Handle, the Throwable Handle has a circuitboard that can be revealed by pressing whilst hovering over it with the Popit Cursor.

Tweaks

This tweak is mislabelled in-game; it actually sets how quickly Sackboy's hand follows the direction of

. If set to 0%, it is impossible to aim the powerup.
