The Hoard have set loose a Giant Firepede that threatens to burn down the entire rainforest. Time to mount a trusty Firebug to save the day!
Press the Left stick left and right to aim. Hit the sides to rack up points and aim for the tail to whittle the Firepede down before it gets away.

Level description

On the Wormpath is the third and final main Eve's Asylum level in LittleBigPlanet Karting. It is an auto-scrolling shooter in which the player must defeat the Giant Firepede left behind by the Hoard.

A departure from the typical racing and battling gameplay, this is one of the few main path story levels to not have a competitive online variant.

Overview

All players ride on the back of Firebugs that automatically move down the track at a variable speed, determined by how far behind the Firepede they are; if a player is lagging behind, their Firebug will speed up to get them back in firing range. Players can strafe with Left stick to collect items or dodge hazards, and have an infinite supply of green rockets to shoot at the Firepede. All players share a pool of ten lives, losing one if they get hit (or manually reset with Select button); the level automatically ends in failure when the life counter reaches 0, or if the Firepede remains undefeated after 3 minutes and 30 seconds.

The Firepede boss is comprised of six body segments, plus the head. Its main weak spots are the glowing circles on the back of each segment, which become brighter as they take damage. When a segment is destroyed, it bleeds a trail of green goo that kills the player on contact; after four segments have been destroyed, it will occasionally drop a puddle of green goo to get in the player's way.

Separately, there are also 12 smaller spots the player can hit, which spawn Score Bubbles when destroyed.

The Firepede follows the same track as the player, but there are several stone paths it can take to avoid fire, or circle behind for an attack. Occasionally, it will spawn fire eggs at either side to get in the player's way, but these can be destroyed by shooting it.

Dialogue

Pre-load Commentary

Narrator The control modes in LittleBigPlanet Karting really keep the excitement levels on max. Take STRAFE STEERING MODE for example. This lets your kart go sideways left and sideways right as you continue tearing through the race. Use the LEFT STICK to do it. Huh, the handling reminds me of the old style arcade games – one hand on the joystick, the other feeding coins into a tiny slot before the countdown ended and you had to start from the beginning. Tsk, think I’m getting old.


Magic Mouth Dialogue

Pre-Race

Venus the Flytrap That’s a blessing. Those dreadful Hoarders have gone to cause bad vibes elsewhere!


Venus the Flytrap They stole all the energy they could from here. And I wouldn’t be surprised if they left something nasty!


Venus the Flytrap I remember I saw it in a vision, but I just can’t remember what it was!


Venus the Flytrap Yes! I remember what it was now!


Venus the Flytrap My Firebugs will help you catch this villain! Oh Sackling, please stop him before he burns down my forest!


Post-Race

Venus the Flytrap Goodness me, Sackling, you were ever so brave! And a little gung-ho too, silly sack person!


Venus the Flytrap Eve’s Asylum is safe once more. Hoarders never give up though!


Venus the Flytrap Drive them out before they deplete the entire Imagisphere!


Venus the Flytrap Oh my, I’m getting a vision. A dark vision. Something bad is coming it’s... nope, it’s gone.


Venus the Flytrap I do know this….even The Hoard don’t realise what they’re creating!


Instruction Text

The Firepede is weak in its bright red backside! Hit it with your supercharged weaponator!
Your insectoid steed knows where we’re going, but press the left and right buttons or use the left stick to nudge him about!
You only have so many lives in this level, so be careful and watch where you’re going!

You have lifted The Darkness from our home. But That Darkness was not as dark as The Darkness that awaits you in The Darkness of space. Go to The Space Bass now!
