— Level description

Skate to Victory is the third main level in the Playstation 3 version of LittleBigPlanet (PlayStation 3), and the final level in The Gardens. The level serves as an introduction into the darker side of LittleBigPlanet, as The King sends the player into a haunted castle filled with spooky ghosts.

Overview

With night upon the kingdom, a test of bravery comes as The King orders the player to pass through a dangerous, haunted and spooky castle infested with ghosts, to reach the other side. The player begins by flying up with a bird onto a cliff top, with a grabbable windmill atop of it, which the player can then ride to fling across several chasms. After hopping between islands of more windmills, the player can drop down into a pit after accidentally causing some debris to fall from atop a peak. After passing star Sticker Switches, the player encounters a water wheel spinning treacherously over toxic water, dotted with Prize Bubbles in each gap. After another ride from one of many royal birds, The Queen appears infront of a Tutorial TV, to instruct the player how to use the Take A Photo Tool. Upon moving on Dumpty appears along with a new powerup, the Jetpack. The player is instructed to use the Jetpack to lift up large sponge weights into a cardboard basket, to weigh the basket down and to lower the gate into the castle.

As the door closes behind, the player is met with a change of environment complete with ghosts of Horrible Gas, perusing the halls of the treacherous castle. After dodging ghosts and pulling a block of sponge back toward the exit, the player can platform up to a button that unlocks the door forward. More platforming and dodging occurs in the next room, toward a new button that activates a large boot to slide down, allowing access upwards. More of the same is at the top of the boot lift's path, along with a strange fellow poking in through the window. Atop this new room hangs the Level Key for Castle Climb Challenge, obtainable by jumping at the height of the boot's path and steering into the key. (Unfinished)

“	All work and no play makes Sackboy all sad inside, and that’s why after a hard day learning everything you can about jumping and grabbing, it’s time to play! Watch out though, as night time falls over the gardens, it can get a bit spooky!	„
