Unused Videos

This is a sub-page of LittleBigPlanet (PlayStation Portable).

Present in the USRDIR/movies/ folder are a number of unused tutorial videos which are about tools and functions that were removed from the game, some of which are present in the PlayStation 3 version.

15_tut_mov.bik#

15_tut_mov.bik is a tutorial about the "Take A Photo" tool from the PS3 game, suggesting that it was planned for this game. The "Take A Photo" tool isn't in this game, so its tutorial goes unused. The English narration is baked into the main audio channel, though it's much quieter than the sound effects.

31_tut_mov.bik#

31_tut_mov.bik is a tutorial about Level Keys that unlocked one of your levels when collected, which suggests that you were able to lock your levels at one point. While Level Keys are in the game, they're only used to unlock side-levels in Story Mode; there's no option to lock your own levels, and you don't get Level Keys from publishing levels.

40_tut_mov.bik#

40_tut_mov.bik is a tutorial about changing a level's background, as well as adjusting the lighting and fog. While it's possible to change the level background in the final game, there's no option to change the lighting or fog.

54_tut_mov.bik#

54_tut_mov.bik is a tutorial about the Photo Booth tool. Much like the "Take A Photo" tool, the Photo Booth isn't in this game, so its tutorial goes unused.

77_tut_mov.bik#

77_tut_mov.bik is a tutorial about a removed tool known as the "Emote Zone", which would have changed a player's expression when activated.

A placeholder title card is shown in lieu of an animation.

78_tut_mov.bik#

78_tut_mov.bik is a tutorial about a Sleep Mode tweak, which would have turned things off to help boost performance, as well as a Sync Link, which would have woken up multiple sleeping objects at the same time. Neither of these functions are present in the final game.

A placeholder title card is shown in lieu of an animation.

79_tut_mov.bik#

79_tut_mov.bik is a tutorial about taking photos of the real world to use as in-game stickers, suggesting that support for the PSP Camera was planned at one point.

80_tut_mov.bik#

80_tut_mov.bik is a tutorial about optimising your level by controlling moving objects with a Sensor Switch.

A placeholder title card is shown in lieu of an animation.

85_tut_mov.bik#

85_tut_mov.bik is another tutorial about optimising your level, this time with animation.

90_tut_mov.bik#

90_tut_mov.bik is a tutorial about a "Dot to Dot" tool, which allowed you to create materials by placing and connecting dots.

tutorial01.bik#

tutorial01.bik is a video presumably made to test Bink videos containing multiple audio channels, with each channel corresponding to a different language. The main audio channel plays Mahalageasca by Mahala Rai Banda, a remix of which would go on to be used in LittleBigPlanet 2. The footage in the video is taken from the PlayStation 3 version's movement tutorial.

The separate audio channels consist of the language's name being repeated for the duration of the video.
