What each player can do here

P1 · Sackboy 1
  • Run, jump, flutter in mid-air and roll; rolling is quicker than running.
P2 · Sackboy 2
  • Same moves as Sackboy 1, and up to four Sackboys can play together. You can grab, slap and roll into each other, and teamwork levels have you throw a partner up to high ledges.

If your skill levels differ: Every Sackboy has the same moves, so the split is by job inside the teamwork levels: one of you throws, holds a scale or carries the squid while the other climbs or crosses. In Swipe Right one player stays on the ground to help the one on the wall; our suggestion is to give that job to the newer player. How to split the roles

The main path

Part 1 of 3. Clear the main levels and collect enough Dreamer Orbs to open the boss.

  1. BothThe main path runs A Big Adventure, Cold Feat, Up For Grabs, Keys To Success, Ready Yeti Go, Treble In Paradise, Have You Herd? and Blowing Off Steam, then the boss level Having A Blast.
  2. BothSide levels on the map: the teamwork level Friends In High Places, plus Ice Cave Dash and Highwire Escape.

Friends In High Places (teamwork)

Part 2 of 3. The first level that needs two players.

  1. BothThe game's first teamwork level: it needs two or more players and teaches how Sackboys help each other.
  2. BothThe level's only prize hangs from a double string bulb between the rolling yetis: two of you have to pull it at once.

Having A Blast (boss)

Part 3 of 3. Beat Vex on his treadmills.

  1. BothGrab the bombs Vex drops on the treadmills and throw them back at him.
  2. BothAfter a few hits he reverses the treadmills: jump the spikes riding toward you. Later a hand slams down from above, so step out from under it.
