The '''Robo Boots''', also known as the '''Power Boots''', were a powerup planned for ''[[LittleBigPlanet 2]]'' that would have granted users a unique wall jump ability, as well as increasing their run speed and jump height.

The Robo Boots are present in the files for the [[Deploy Build]], but the pedestal object and its associated script that sets the appropriate powerup state were removed from subsequent builds. Despite this, the code for the Robo Boots powerup state still exists in the final game, and can be observed if a [[Sackbot]] equipped with the powerup is imported from an earlier build.

==Overview==
The Robo Boot Power Up pedestal uses the [[Paintinator]] as a base, with only a blue light beam to differentiate it. A unique costume model exists in the Deploy Build's files, but does not get applied when the powerup is equipped.

When equipped with the Robo Boots, the player's jump height is increased to about 8 small grid squares.

Unlike other powerups, it is not possible to manually remove the Robo Boots with {{button|circle}}; they can only be removed by passing through a [[Powerup Remover]], dying, or coming in contact with an object lethalized with [[Flame Tool|fire]].

===Wall Run===
Players can use the increased speed granted by the Robo Boots to run up curved terrain, as well as up walls and even ceilings. They are still subject to gravity whilst wall running, and will fall down after a short period. However, if the player enters a tunnel (roughly 2 small grid squares wide), they can stand in place.

===Wall Jump===
When a player is pressed against a wall, they will slide down it with reduced velocity.

Pressing {{button|x}} whilst up against a wall will cause the player to jump away from it.

Despite its similarities to the wall jump ability introduced in the [[DC Comics Premium Level Kit]], the Robo Boot is handled separately and has many notable differences. as the player's vertical velocity significantly impacts their trajectory.
