Sackboy: A Big Adventure Cheats & Tips

Sackboy has a new move in his core arsenal called the 'flutter jump', this is basically a jump with a secondary flutter that allows him to extend his hangtime. In order to flutter while airborne you simply need to press and hold the jump button on your controller and Sackboy will run mid-air briefly to reach far away platforms. Not only is fluttering essential for extending your jump distance it is also useful when you need to avoid moving hazards.

Although the time bonus collectibles you can pick up in the trials can knock a few valuable seconds off the clock to give you a better time, there will be instances where you should resist the temptation to venture off the beaten path to get them. This will be when the time the detour takes is more than what the time bonus collectible offers.

Sackboy can spin, dive, slap, and flutter to extend his jumps while airborne. If you chain some or even all of this moves together you will substantially increase Sackboys hangtime to make it over otherwise impossible gaps.

The clock does not start ticking until you cross the line so make sure you choose the moment that you set off wisely as it can make a big difference in getting a fast or slow time.
