Little Big Planet 2 Walkthrough - Chapter 1: Grab and Swing
Full Walkthrough: http://www.gamefront.com/little-big-planet-2-walkthrough/
Now its time for you to learn how to grab and swing as the title of the level suggests.
Head forward and grab hold of the yellow sponge by holding down "R1." From there you can push and pull the block and position it so you can grab the prize bubble above.
In the next area, push the truck forward and then push the block so you can jump on the truck and reach the prize bubble. Then move them to the right again so you can reach the next platform.
Next, jump on to the blocks and pull them down to make the Prize Bubble topple over. Pull a block to the right and use it to jump to the checkpoint.
Push the car to the right to reach the next Prize Bubble and platform. For this next couch on wheels, you'll need to give to a little shove to get it going, then jump on top to ride it down the slope. Be ready to jump at the end to grab the prize bubble at the end.
After you reach the end, head to the left and go down the slope to find a secret area with a bunch of Prize Bubbles.
When you reach the next checkpoint, drop down to the bottom and collect the Prize Bubble on the right. Bounce up using the pad and then swing to the next platform.
Drop down in the next section and head right. Collect the Prize Bubble and then head through the gap in the wall on the top plane (Hit up twice and then move through the wall.)
Follow the secret path all the way to the left and then use the bounce pad to shoot through the wall on the left.
Swing along the chains, collecting the key as you go. Continue heading right and you'll reach the level link that will take you to part 2.
Jump to the left and grab on to the toilet paper roll to bring down a Prize Bubble. Next, head right and claim your grappling hook.
Head back to the toilet and grapple the switch up top to cause a secret Prize Bubble to appear.
The two prize bubbles near the spot where you got the Grappling Hook are a little tricky to get. Start off far away when you shoot your hook, then when you swing, hold "Up" on the control stick to reel your line in. This should give you enough speed to let go and soar toward the Prize Bubbles.
Drop down after the next checkpoint to pick up the Prize Bubbles below, then swing across the gap to the next checkpoint.
Pick up the two Prize Bubbles below before swinging across and nabbing the Prize Bubbles in between the hook points.
Use the grappling hook in this next area to reel yourself upward by holding "Up." In the next area, reel yourself down. Make sure to head left when you land to pick up Da Vinci's Specs. With these, you can go back to the first level and place them on the portrait.
Keep heading right to reach a race gate. You can try to get to the end as fast as you can to maximize your point bonus, but be careful not to miss the Prize Bubbles on the way. Of particular note are the ones just after the second checkpoint. You'll need to bounce yourself off the pad while using your grappling hook, then let go when you get enough speed to fly up to the platform the Prize Bubbles are resting on.
When you reach the spinning wheel, grapple on to it and then let go when you get enough speed to fly up and nab the Prize Bubble suspended high in the air.
Once you cross the finish line, head a bit further to the right to complete the level.
