DLC #133 - LittleBigPlanet 2 - The Muppets Premium Level Pack

It's been a while since I've revisited LittleBigPlanet 2, and whilst there are good reasons for that, they're becoming harder to ignore, and the final 2 packs left beyond this will be finished the moment I can bring myself to acquire the extra peripherals needed to complete the respective lists.

In the meantime, the Muppets Premium Level Pack does not require such acquisition, and follows the same mould as the DC Comics Premium Level Pack (For the most part, at least).

The DC Comics theme is now replaced by The Muppets theme, along with a cast of authentic characters in full costume and a host of new creation options to gather via prize bubbles scattered around within each stage. The levels make use of the new Attract-O-Gel feature too, which allows your Sackboy to walk on ceilings and walls, adding a new element of gameplay that is creatively integrated into the new handful of Story levels.

The pack adds 7 new levels to the sub-stories section of LittleBigPlanet 2, broken up into 5 main levels and 2 additional survival challenges, accompanied by 7 new trophies to unlock along the way.

LittleBigPlanet DLC trophy packs have never been overly challenging, and this one is no different. The primary focus will be the Gold "Standing Ovation!" trophy, awarded for Acing all 5 Muppet Story Levels, which are fairly easy to go through without dying, as long as you take your time to analyse your next steps before your proceed. The final stage, where you fight the Phantom boss, is a little tricky, but once you learn the attack patterns, it shouldn't take too long to nail down. You will also unlock an additional trophy for simply beating all 5 levels, acing not required.

The other trophies will require you to meet a minimum score threshold within the 2 new survival challenges, both of which are very easy to achieve the required score from, and there is also an Online requirement to beat 5 user-created levels that feature Attract-O-Gel.

One key difference between this pack and the DC Comics Premium Level Pack worth noting though, is the fact that there isn't a trophy requirement to unlock all prize bubbles within the DLC this time round, which removes the necessity to have to go through all those secret areas contained within levels which require 2-4 players to unlock the additional Multiplayer dependent prize bubbles. This makes this journey much more straight-forward and means your pure focus can be on just beating each stage without dying. It also means that full completion of this pack can be achieved on a solo basis.

This meant I could unlock all 7 trophies within a single sitting, clocking in at a total of just under 2 and a half hours. A very quick and easy list.
