	An '''invisible material''', also known as an '''invisible wall''', refers to any solid object that characters and/or objects can collide with, but which is not visible to the player. These are typically used as barriers to block off areas that aren't supposed to be accessible, and can be separated into two distinct categories: thick-layer surfaces that obstruct lateral movement, and thin-layer barriers that prevent movement through layers.

	The first instance of an official Invisible Material can be found in ''[[LittleBigPlanet PS Vita]]''.

While the material itself turns turns invisible in Play Mode, any ~~Decorations~~ placed onto it will remain visible; ~~Stickers~~ placed onto a piece of Invisible Material will not be visible in either Play Mode or Create Mode, however.

An '''invisible material''', also known as an '''invisible wall''', refers to any solid object that players and/or objects can collide with, but which is not visible to the player. These are typically used as barriers to block off areas that the player isn't supposed to access, and can be separated into two distinct categories: thick-layer surfaces that prevent lateral movement, and thin-layer barriers that prevent movement through layers.

While some games include invisible materials as part of their toolsets, others have glitches or tools that enable players to make their own.

==Official Invisible Materials==
The first instance of an official Invisible Material can be found in ''[[LittleBigPlanet PS Vita]]''. It has a transparent white appearance with no shading. In terms of physical attributes, it is lightweight, has no gravity, and cannot be grabbed.

''[[LittleBigPlanet Karting]]'' also has its own invisible material, known as Force Field. In Create Mode it has a light green tint, but like with other materials in this game, the player can change the colour in its tweak menu.

An Invisible Material was also added to ''[[LittleBigPlanet 2]]'' in the [[DC Comics Premium Level Kit]], unlocked by completing [[Sackboy VS The Mecha-Lex]]. This version has a similar appearance to the Clear Plastic material found elsewhere in the pack, and takes on the physical properties of [[Basic Rubber|rubber]].
