Welcome one and all to our Christmas Episode featuring all sorts of gifts and stocking fillers from the Level Showcase. As well as the statutory Christmas themed levels there are some great platformers, puzzlers and shooters to keep you entertained when you’ve had enough Christmas cheer...

The Crew wishes everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and would like to thank the creators who have produced such amazing levels over the past year and make the Spotlight what it is. You guys rock!

A quick reminder that you still have time to enter our two 100th Episode contests: the Spotlight Trivia Quiz here (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=76277-LBPC-Community-Spotlight-Ep-100-Celebrations-quot-You-Don-t-Know-Sack!-quot-Trivia-Contest!) and the Triplesack Contest here (https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=76328-LBPC-Community-Spotlight-Ep-100-Celebrations-Triplesack-Contest!). Also keep a look out for our 100th and 101st level hubs which Hubbie should be publishing sometime...soon. He ate rather too many cookies during the 100th Episode celebrations and has had to lie down for a while in darkened room.

Anyway, without further ado, let’s crack open the champagne and get on with the Spotlight!

http://ie.lbp.me/img/bl/5be5a81ee3c012bfc2f765522ca28ce7a1109076.pngChrist mas Village (platformer)yu-kamoneMerry Christmas! Welcome to the Christmas Village. This Village is ornamented on a grand scale on the day of Christmas. Let`s experience Christmas special for you, walking in beautiful illuminations! (1~4player) -------- メリークリスマス！ようこそChristmas Villageへ。この村はクリスマスになると盛大に装飾がされます。綺麗なイルミネーションの中を進んで ください。あなたにとって特別なクリスマスになることを約束します。 Music by @Taxok20 @EDGE001
Yu-Kamone should change his name to Midas, everything he creates is pure gold. I've come to expect a good holiday level with solid gameplay from him and he certainly delivers with this one. This was a real blast to play through. You know those big Christmas Displays that the fancy department stores put up? It felt like running amok through one of those, with all the cool deco and platforming elements. It certainly did a good job of stifling the "Bah Humbug" within me. A perfect level for the season and one that certainly shouldn't be missed.Twas the week before Christmas, a time of year when Craft World overflows with seasonal levels, and yu-kamone has managed to produce the perfect level for those wanting their annual dose of LBP Christmas cheer. It’s beautifully decorated, from snowy outdoor scenes to cosy firesides hung with stockings. There’s never a dull moment as you platform through the village attempting to re-unite an unfortunate snowman with his lost head. It has secrets to be found, some fun platforming and lots of great details to enjoy. And it all ends on real high note with an exquisite set piece which is guaranteed to put a smile on your face. A very merry Christmas level.


http://ia.lbp.me/img/bl/6eadc1d766c88cdc4cb3f9bdc52406686c4efdbb.pngThe Adventures of Outback Jack: Level 1Alley_Cat_8633Level 1 will teach you Jack's new abilities as you play. Journey across the Outback and prepare yourself for the challenges to come in the following levels. Special thanks to BuddyDestruction and Comishguy67 for their amazing music and Breezy-the-Pro for his awesome sticker font.How can you NOT be addicted to Little Big Planet when people keep producing gems such as this? I mean, c'mon! In this level, no, it's more than that. It's almost a standalone game. Anyway, you take the reins of one, "Outback Jack" in this introduction level to what I hope is going to be a series. You'll be learning the basic mechanics of our hero. The area is divided into different sections where in each one, you learn a new technique such as his double jump, wall jump, slam jump and others. The level is drop dead gorgeous, well, it is an Alley_Cat level after all, and it's a treat to play through. I can't wait to see the next installment in this series. Please! Let this be a series.
Craftworld has a new hero. Outback Jack arrives on the scene with a bang in this new level by Alley_Cat. With an infectious grin and something of a swagger, he sets off on an adventure through some stunning scenery, meeting and defeating a host of Outback enemies, including some particularly evil bats *mutter*. This opening level in the series cleverly introduces you to each of the moves in Jack’s repertoire. It’s handled beautifully as the “tutorial” element is not overdone and each move is easy to pick up and fun to put to use. You’ll notice too that Jack must have steel toecaps to his boots because his jumps have none of the usual LBP floatiness. That and the focus on defeating enemies and collecting stars give it the feeling of a classic platformer. It’s great to see creators taking a new direction and this new series from Alley_Cat is refreshingly different and has heaps of charm. Like Bio, I can’t wait to see what Outback Jack gets up to next.

Your goal is to get the key and find the red door. Score is based on number of deaths , shifts and time. 1-4 players -------- Many thanks to my friends who helped out.

Whoa! I love the one room or room escape puzzle levels but this takes it to a whole new level! Wow! The first thing you may notice upon entering is how sleek looking it is. Clean lines and nice tight design makes this a treat for the eyes. Ok, let's get into the meat and potatoes of this here level. You're stuck in one of three visible rooms and in order to advance, you have to "shift" the rooms around to the correct order. Kind of like a slide puzzle, only maybe a little trickier. One room will have the switch that opens the door, but you can't access it because the rooms are not aligned correctly. Shift the rooms around and voila! you have success. Climb in here and get to shifting!
Yes xSLEVENx, Yes, YES! Ahem. Sorry about that, I got terribly excited there for a while! You may be forgiven for thinking that this level is going to be a simple puzzle affair. As it stands, it's not. Oh, don't get me wrong, we've got the usual dazzling display of logic genius here, but there's so, so much more going on. The level gets its name from the main gameplay mechanic – you move the level itself around, as if it were a sliding puzzle. By pausing to go into 'shift mode' at the most opportune moment, you can even propel yourself through the level, Portal-style. If you haven't played this level yet, then you absolutely need to get on and do so. Now.


http://i1.lbp.me/img/bl/131a68b766c3d2bf67221172eab125aa0504e803.pngCraftw orld Christmas Collaboration: Music Giveaway!CraftworldCollabMerry Christmas to sackfolk everywhere! This awesome bunch of creators and composers have ganged together to give you a wonderful selection of free Christmas tunes to use in your festive levels! Come in, and know them better, sack!
I'm not even going to attempt to list everyone who was involved in this project. Although, I could just do that instead of trying to write a clever review. Nah, the list is way too long. I will say this, it was a joint effort by many, many people. These guys and gals came together as creators, musicians and artists and created one of the finest music giveaways ever. The opening cinematic is a fantastic parody of "'Twas The Night Before Christmas" and is well worth the price of admission. After this, we are presented with a late model jukebox where all the Christmas tunes are neatly housed. A big thank-you from me to everyone involved in this. Merry Christmas guys!Deck the halls with yuletide folly, fa-la-la-la-lah-la-la-la er… la? I've never been good at this music thing… luckily, other's are and they have gotten into the spirit of christmas, by creating some christmas classics in LBP, to continue the metaphor the spirit has not left them and they have decided to follow the age old adage of 'tis better to give than receive', and thus this level is packed full of musical treats for you to unwrap and use!


http://ia.lbp.me/img/bl/97aa84fd393757563ac33403152c4a5f9b231c68.pngThe Great Seasonal BunkerP-I-M-P-IThis is Santa's wonderful bunker, where it is christmas all year! Enjoy your visit. ------- Credits: RacingCreed, swat1492, tevlon1 and mrz793. (1 Player Recommended).Woo! Just what I love! A score bubble bonanza! This level is the epitome of "cool." It really is and like I've stated numerous times before, I love a nice, clean and tight design and this one meets that criteria perfectly. Not only are the visuals slick, but the gameplay is equally impressive. You guys know that I love me some cool contraptions and you'll find no shortage of them here. To be honest, I know this had some sort of plot, but I don't recall it. All I can picture from playing this, is all those score bubbles. Look left, score bubbles! Look right, more bubbles! Glorious score bubbles everywhere the eye looks! And, if you're cunning enough, you can pull of some sick combos and rack up a ton of points. There's even a cool mini game where you..oh yeah! I remember now! There is a story. Let's just say that a certain rotund elf makes an appearance. Have fun!Bio's right enough here – this is a score bubble fest, through and through! Get your high score face on, and scramble your way through this bunker-style Christmas grotto to help save Christmas! P-I-M-P-I shows their usual flair for platforming gameplay with smooth transitions and friendly puzzles. This one isn't about challenging yourself to finish, anyone should be able to do that – but getting that highscore will prove far more tricky


http://ic.lbp.me/img/bl/60cb9148a704be428069568ceb9b8de930918706.pngTHE ARENA By AngeloMatteiAngeloMatteiWhen economy has reached the lowest point, Comes the #1 TV Show on Earth! THE ARENA. Risk your life to win millions. Some call it Bloody, Psycho, Indecent. We just call it FUN. -------[STRICTLY FOR 1 PLAYER ONLY]------- Thanks to the prodigy SoundIsMe for songs.Oh. . . My . . . Lord. AngeloMattei gives us a new reason to bow down and worship them with their newest level, The Arena. If you dare to enter this contest, and pit yourself against wave after wave of the reality show's most fearsome Gladiators, you'd better keep your wits about you! Make sure to hunt out every box and grate you find, you never know where a handy rocket launcher or a snazzy hand grenade will pop out to your aid! This is truly a wonderful level. How did they do it? Darned if I know, I'm having too much fun playing to worry about that!The arena is empty, except for one man… whoever said that there were no guns in LBP has not played this yet, a well developed FPS with a full range of movement and some very detailed set pieces, try not to get too distracted though as you rush around the maps looking for health and ammo for a multitude of weapons you are carrying as you lay waste to some evil looking robots. Not too worry though it's all for a game show… wait… these robots are firing back!? aww that makes it a little more challenging. Here Mr. Robot have a grenade…


http://i9.lbp.me/img/bl/8d9225daeef380cacda5b5d595ef0c771859a8a5.pngThe rescue “ Mountains of Elsweyr By ricksnunricksnunPLEASE TURN SUBTITLES ON BEFORE STARTING THE GAME!!! This is the story about Hank. a guy that went missing on the mountains of Elsweyr. your mission is to find him a save him. this is a very very very challenging lvl full of puzzles inside a temple. Pls note that this lvl was designed to be hard, so pls avoid comments about it's difficulty. There's also a lot of secrets through out. just play till the end cause every second will be worthy. also leave feedback for future improvements. thnx and enjoy.An atmospheric and tense story driven puzzle platformer that oozes with design and thoughtful layout. This is certainly not a short blast through some tricky ledges and drag-the-key-to-unlock-door type of Tomb Raider clones that pop up occasionally, but rather a full story and fleshed out game that builds slowly.If you like a shot of adventure with your platforming then this is the level for you. It’s a ripping yarn involving a plane lost in the jungle, a missing friend to be rescued and a mysterious Temple full of traps and puzzles. So dig out your most dashing Indiana Jones hat and get exploring. The Temple is fantastically detailed and has lots of stunning visual set pieces along the way. And it’s worth exploring every nook and cranny because there are some cunningly hidden secrets to be unearthed. The puzzles are clever and beautifully integrated into the Temple setting and there’s the occasional bit of platforming thrown in to keep you on your toes. The story builds to a dramatic conclusion which leaves you wanting more. The love and care poured into this level shine through and it’s a pleasure to play.

http://i3.api.vita.lbp.me/img/bl/8434df13543ade8e7511ffe69e3e5956d6c0113d.pngKiwi VS Orange - The tournament (Level 1 - Chizz)cakito123Two planets are going to compete in a Tournament. But this isn't a normal Tournament! What's going on?!This is one awesome hectic chase of a level. It’s the start of the tournament between Planet Kiwi and Planet Orange and you have been sent in undercover to compete for the Kiwis. As a lake of cheese rises inexorably you must scramble, leap and swing your way helter-skelter to the top of the structure and, as if EVIL cheese wasn’t enough to contend with, you also have to use touch to shift platforms into place and destroy black boxes blocking your path. The action is fast and frantic and I guarantee you will die many times before making it to the top. There are some great bits of platforming in there though, just as long as you can stay alive long enough to get to them... It’s a blast from start to finish and I can’t wait for Round 2!This is one of the more unique levels I have played on vita yet. Funny story? Check. Slick platforming? Check. Beautiful level designs? Check. The gameplay on this shines bright. Fluid and fun. The level ending sequence is incredible. It will have you frantically platforming over a tower of obstacles while being chased by a toxic cheese. This level is the total package and will remain on my download list for a long time.

There may not be a lot of eyecandy on offer but the quality gameplay makes up for that. TheOfficialKing has put together a series of beautifully crafted and ingenious obstacles that make great use of the Vita’s touch functionality and hold your interest to the end. The Odd Mansion is a touch based platformer that will have you using all of lbpvita's new features. There are so many great and unique gameplay mechanics crammed into here. Download this level, and get ready for some spikey touchy fun. You won't regret it.

This is work in progress, so it might be a bit buggy. 2Player VS mode coming soon. Thanks to Cortster12 for the music.A brilliant recreation of a classic game. I cannot begin to imagine the complexity of the logic behind this LBPV version of Tetris but fortunately Fluxlasers could and he has pulled off the best recreation of the game I have yet seen on the Vita. It’s slick and works perfectly – unlike my brain when I was trying to play it. Ah, well, an excuse to go and replay!Tetris. Everybody loved Tetris, right? I remember playing Tetris on my black and white Gameboy, ages ago. The premise is simple so anyone can pick it up and play, but underneath the simple design lies a strategic classic that will keep you busy for hours. Insanely addictive gameplay that is good for the brain, and a lovely user interface make this level a must play.

Skill Run [SR] Series : Tropical BranchMooshywooshy
Influenced by Super Monkey Ball, how fast can you reach the end? There is no wrong way to get there, so reach #1 on the leaderboard!

In this adventure of reasonably challenging tasks you will mostly pound your head against the wall a few times but that aside. This level series has just about everything you need in a great point to point race. It has the works of something you would see in Mario Cart and that's what I love to see. Id give this a run through it sure deserves it.

A tribute to Monkey Ball, this "track" does the series justice as the player must be patient and use impeccable precision, concentration, and speed control to maneuver through thin platforms and reach the end of the track in record time. In increasing order of difficulty, this tropical skill run series will definitely give you something to brag about if you're skilled enough to adorn the online scoreboard

To Clive, With Love BonezOliver
Clive Handforth is all but lost in our memories and our hearts. Please enjoy this Clive-centric track, and send him best wishes...wherever he is.

What A great level a tribute to one of my favourite characters in LBP2. I really loved the atmosphere in this level as it takes it`s place in The Factory of a better Tomorrow. I really enjoyed watching the Clive animate in this level. This track is defiantly worth the play.
Oh, how Clive needs a little love every now and then! And I'm happy to see good old Clive given the special treatment in this LBPK track. Reminiscent of the wildly entertaining and detailed series of LittleBigPlanet 2, the city and factory of a better tomorrow are wonderfully represented through various sections of the track, from the pipes of dreams to the discarded broken boxes. Much like the original, To Clive, With Love is also full of motion and rotating gears and scenery, giving you something to enjoy when spinning endlessly through the air.

Christmas Canyon of ChaosFOREVA-DEAD
"You'll never take my christmas presents alive!"

This arena was amazing. It was full of winter awesomeness and astonishment. The details make you feel as if you were really in a winter train-yard heading to Santa's workshop. The porwer-ups were very thought out and very visualizing. This is a must play arena for you Sack-people.
Finding coal in a gift-wrapped box should be the least of your worries in this intense battle arena! Set across two major areas, you'll be fighting for items in an icy environment littered with explosive presents and invaded with enemy projectiles. After this intense Christmas showdown, I'm sure you'll never have a holiday as violently fun as this!

Battle: Mushroom Battle ArenaManlius10A
My first battle arena complete with 10 custom weapons! The level also features a complete day to night transition.


Some levels need game-play to make something good, others need uniqueness, and others need detail. This is a level that does all three. I was blown away by how much this level was layed out. The atmosphere was brilliant and each weapon was completely different. I just loved how this level was planed out in such a way. This was such a great arena. I absolutely enjoyed it!
You'll be grateful to have teammates in this fungi forest of fierceness, where the battle over item weapons are almost as intense as the dangers of the item weapons themselves. In such an open environment, accuracy is essential. As the enemy lines up within your invisible crosshairs, you better be prepared to unleash the fury of your weapon upon them. If not, be prepared for you to be the one spawning out of a checkpoint!

Wow just wow this level was everything I wanted to do as a child. This great racetrack just puts everything about racing and depot`s into one. The track was smooth, easy going, and very well detailed I just loved it. This is a track what will put your money where your mouth is. Give it a go just watch out for Drunk drivers when you do
Do you remember that time in your young life when you used to ride shopping carts? (Or, for some of you who are young at heart, remember yesterday?). This track captures that thrill and excitement and plastic-bags it into one intense joyride through and around a local LittleBigPlanet depot store. Fit with all of the basic necessities of a depot store, such as the checkout counters, aisles, a parking lot, and one invasive machine, it's no surprise that this track was just as fun as any ride on a good old "shopping kart!"

Sunset IslandsIvoYaridovich
Welcome to Sunset Islands! Race around on sponsored hovercrafts. You'll see the colorful reefs, the old pirate caves, and some shipwrecks of old! Rumor has it that some sea monsters are around, but we a Ivo Industries assure you that we are perfectly safe.


Wow what a ride. Honestly this track was really thought out and new. The usage of hover-carts over a vast landscape of a water track really set the mood for this track. If you want some fun summer racing I'd suggest you defiantly check this track out.
It may seem like summer days are far away from these cold, winter days, but hopefully Sunset Islands will put a little warmth in your summer hopes. You'll be securely strapped into a water-capable hovercraft as you race around this beautiful archipelago, detailed with broken ships and lovely serene scenery. Just don't veer off into the beautiful surroundings, or you'll soon find yourself behind and popped right back onto the main water route.

Deep Space Race.dingobread
Hop in your one of kind hover craft and race through a space station on a distant planet.

Oh wow this was just mind exploding with everything awesome about what you can make in Karting. It was so detailed and well put together. I can say that this is one of the best tracks I have yet played and still I can see more creativity put out there but that's going to be hard. This Track is really great with its twists and turns, its custom made karts, and its interactive environment will keep you entertained.
First off, this is one beautiful level that does space right! The active, mobile mechanisms, and nearly seamless bends of the track seem to work in tandem in this electronic-heavy creation. Not only is the track itself wonderfully and beautifully futuristic, but you yourself will be placed in your very own spacecraft as your pitted against other relentless racers. If the future for LittleBigPlanet Karting is going to look this good, I can't wait to see what the future holds!


Also from the Showcase...
Played everything in the Spotlight and still looking for more?

Excellent choice of levels here. Yu-kamone's was absolutely brilliant...every detail rang Christmas. Bravo to everyone spotlighted and mentioned.

And another awesome installment from THE Spotlight Crew. After learning more about many of you from Episode 100, I have an even deeper respect for you all. A sincere thanks for all of your efforts. 		2012-12-26 04:10:00

Some really neat levels this time around. SHIFT might be one of the best levels on the game, and Alleycat is well... Alleycat.

Thanks for the pseudo, I'm surprised Aether got it. I have a new level coming out soon that will be more than visual fluff. Anticipate it. With your body. Yes, the collective body. Also maybe a Vita level and something with SLS10.		2012-12-26 05:22:00
