Swoop is a playable character in LittleBigPlanet 3. Being a bird, she can fly and glide through the air.

Gameplay

By holding Cross button, Swoop will flap her wings and begin ascending indefinitely, falling back to the ground when released.

Pressing and holding R1 button whilst falling causes Swoop to start gliding; pushing Left stick in this state will redirect the player's downward velocity in any direction, allowing them to travel faster than otherwise possible. This mechanic was adapted from the Hero Cape powerup from LittleBigPlanet 2's DC Comics Premium Level Kit.

Much like with Sackboy and Toggle, holding R1 button next to a grabbable object will cause Swoop to grab hold of it with her talons; she can then use her wings to carry it through the air.

Appearances

Quotes

Swoop was born a bird. In fact, Swoop still is a bird; with wings and everything.

LittleBigPlanet 3 Digital Manual

Swoop is like a gift from the heavens. By wafting along the invisible thought patterns of the Imagisphere, Swoop can reach breathtaking heights, perform sharp turns and nail-biting dives. With her talons of steel (okay... they are actually pipe cleaners, but don't tell anyone) Swoop can grab many types of material and lift them up, up and away to wherever you want.
