	'''Introduction''' is the first level of the original ''[[LittleBigPlanet]]''. Being the first level one visits when starting a new profile, it serves both as an opening credits sequence, and a ~~brief~~ tutorial familiarizing the player with the game's core ~~platforming~~ in a safe environment.
			'''Introduction''' is the first level of the original [[LittleBigPlanet]]. Being the first level one visits when starting a new profile, it serves both as an opening credits sequence and a tutorial familiarizing the player with the game's core mechanics in a safe environment.

	==Overview==		==Overview==
	===Walkthrough Guide===		===Walkthrough Guide===
	~~As the~~ first ~~level in ''LittleBigPlanet'',~~ Introduction ~~acts as an opening credits and basic controls tutorial. The level's aesthetics are simple~~, ~~consisting mostly of cardboard~~ with ~~[[sticker]]s providing color~~. ~~After learning to move left and right using~~ {{button\|lstick}}~~, the player passes a gallery of~~ [[~~Media Molecule~~]] ~~employees who worked on the game, all of whom have been customized or feature visual gags about them. Platforming is simple and minimal, consisting of small ledges and hills~~ to ~~teach the player how to jump with {{button\|x}}. LittleBigPlanet's physics engine is put on display through hanging objects, falling displays~~, ~~and a miniature puzzle involving pushing a ball into a hole.~~		The first part of Introduction is straight, open space for players to get comfortable with running. Pushing the {{button\|lstick}} '''left stick''' causes [[Sackboy]] to move, with his direction matching which way the stick is being pushed. Continuing to the right leads to a large developer showcase, presenting the people who worked on LittleBigPlanet in the style of opening credits. The first true obstacles of the level test the player's ability to jump, and narration will continue to explain these mechanics. Small studs protruding from the ground can be overcome by pressing and holding the {{button\|x}} '''action''' button to jump.

	~~The level leads to an indoor section~~ with ~~a [[Tutorial TV]] teaching~~ the ~~player how to dress up their sackperson using the [[Popit]]~~. ~~A few seconds after activating the Tutorial TV a cardboard wall~~ to the right ~~falls open, leading~~ to a ~~[[Photo Booth]] introducing~~ the ~~player as the final name~~ in the opening credits. ~~Further right is another Tutorial TV on a large theater stage~~, ~~which shows a video about Acting~~. ~~After the video ends,~~ the ~~Tutorial TV falls away~~ and the ~~black wall behind it opens to reveal the~~ ''~~LittleBigPlanet~~'' ~~title, alongside raucous applause. The screen then slowly fades~~ to ~~black as the level ends and brings the player to their Pod~~.

	~~===Character Appearances===~~		LittleBigPlanet's expansive physics engine is put on display in numerous visual gags and otherwise insignificant obstacles. Continued use of running and jumping are required to reach the first [[Tutorial TV]] about customizing your sackperson. Pressing the {{button\|square}} '''menu''' button opens the main [[Popit]] menu, where the ''Customize Character'' tab will be highlighted automatically. Pressing the action button opens the tab, showcasing what costume pieces are currently inside your Popit. Pushing the left stick sorts through the pages inside the tabs. Pressing the {{button\|circle}} '''back''' button exits out of the Popit tabs and the Popit itself. After finishing the customizing tutorial, one last Tutorial TV sits just after a set of stairs.
	~~Although Introduction acts solely as a showcase~~ of ~~developers, it marks~~ the first ~~appearance of~~ the ~~Narrator (voiced by Stephen Fry)~~, ~~who frequently reoccurs throughout various other entries in~~ the ~~series~~. ~~Like shown here~~, ~~The Narrator usually serves as a guide~~ through ~~LittleBigPlanet~~'~~s many mechanics~~, ~~both in Play and Create mode~~.

	~~Introduction features~~ the ~~Narrator~~'s ~~verbal guidance~~ through the ~~basics of running~~, ~~jumping~~, ~~Acting~~, and ~~Popit functions~~.		With the default configurations, tilting the PlayStation controller shakes Sackboy's head, while pressing the {{button\|l3}} '''left stick''' changes the controls to animate Sackboy's pelvis instead. Using the directional buttons changes Sackboy's facial expressions. The {{button\|up}} '''up''' button cycles through the happy stages, {{button\|down}} '''down''' through the sad stages, {{button\|left}} '''left''' through the scared stages, and {{button\|right}} '''right''' through the angry stages. Holding down the {{button\|l2}} {{button\|r2}} '''limb buttons''' in conjunction with the left stick animates Sackboy's arms. This concludes the most basic mechanics of controlling Sackboy, and the Introduction fades to black moments after.
