			Victoria's Laboratory introduces the [[grabinators]] and [[creatinator]] power-ups, which players must use to defeat enemies and create improvised platforms.

	===Plot overview===		===Plot overview===
	~~After~~ [[Sackboy]] ~~completes his initiation into the Alliance, he~~ and [[Larry Da Vinci]] ~~set off~~ on foot to Victoria's Laboratory, ~~where~~ its ~~proprietor, Victoria Von Bathysphere, has baked an army of~~ [[~~Sackbot~~]] ~~creations~~. [[~~The Negativitron~~]] ~~beats the two~~ to ~~Victoria's lab, sending her fleeing as it captures and mutates her Sackbot army into~~ [[~~Meanies\|meanie~~]] ~~abominations. Da Vinci confronts~~ Victoria ~~and suggests that Sackboy could use his newfound skills to take back Victoria's house. The~~ Alliance ~~boards Victoria's train back~~ to her ~~house, but their journey is interrupted by the Negativitron who sends down a hoard of mutated meanie cakes. The train crashes at the gate of Victoria's garden, and the Alliance travels up into~~ her ~~house to disable the corrupted brainwave machine responsible for producing new meanies~~.		[[Sackboy]] and [[Larry Da Vinci]] [[The Temperamental Baketress\|arrive]] on foot at Victoria's Laboratory, witnessing its invasion by [[the Negativitron]]. Victoria Von Bathysphere flees her house by train but stops once spotting the two Alliance members. With her [[Sackbot]] army either stolen away or reduced to mutated [[meanies]], Victoria begs the Alliance to help her reclaim her home.

	Sackboy ~~pulls~~ the ~~plug on~~ the machine, ~~but~~ the ~~Negativitron~~ returns to ~~transform it into a monstrous spider contraption that pursues~~ Sackboy to the top of Victoria's house. Sackboy ~~faces off against~~ the machine ~~and~~, ~~with~~ the ~~use~~ of the ~~grabinators, sends it careening off~~ the ~~side~~ of the ~~house.~~ Victoria~~, distraught at the level of destruction caused to her creations, stays to clean~~ up ~~as the Alliance busies itself in tracking down the whereabouts of~~ the ~~remaining Sackbots~~.		The three board Victoria's [[Runaway Train\|train]] back to her laboratory, though the Negativitron makes multiple attempts to impede their progress. Once [[Brainy Cakes\|inside the gates]] of Victoria's property, Sackboy clears out the hordes of meanies lurking within and [[Currant Affairs\|disables the brainwave machine]] responsible for producing them. Possessed by the Negativitron, the brainwave machine [[Kling Klong\|returns to life]] soon after, pursuing Sackboy to the top of Victoria's house; Sackboy destroys the machine, leaving the laboratory in a state of disarray.

			Larry Da Vinci [[Follow That Sackbot\|spots]] the remains of the Sackbot army marching through the entrance of [[the Factory Of A Better Tomorrow]] and accompanies Sackboy on a rescue mission - while Victoria cleans up the mess left behind.

It features a sugary-industrial aesthetic that draws from classic Victorian {{wp\|steampunk}}, the 19th-century rise of sugar and sweets ~~driven by industrialization,~~ and ~~Frankensteinian mad-~~science ~~elements from {{wp\|Gothic fiction}}~~.

			==History==
			===Development===
			During pre-production of LittleBigPlanet 2, art and music direction for Victoria's Laboratory followed the pitch of "19th century Frankenstein experiments" and "B-movie". At this point, much of the Victorian theming belonged to [[Popov Factory]], the original third story theme predating [[the Factory Of A Better Tomorrow]]. After the prior theme was cut, these elements were partially merged with Victoria's Laboratory, though the theme later received multiple revisions that led to its further distinction from the industrial steampunk style of Popov Factory.<ref name="kennyYoung"> Kenneth Young (29 January 2021).
