How to Extend your Jumps to Reach Far Away Platforms
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.
Make Sure the Time Bonus Collectible is Worthwhile
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.
Chain Moves Together to Extend your Hangtime
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.
Choose your Starting Time Wisely
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.

How to Evade Incoming Attacks and Hazards
As Sackboy races against time it is vital that you know how to quickly make him evade the incoming attacks and hazards that are in his path. In order to make Sackboy dodge you need to push the left-stick on your controller away from the danger and tap the roll button. To have any chance of achieving a top time you will need to be proficient at doing this.
Cut Corners for Faster Times
Each of the courses in Sackboy: A Big Adventure features shortcuts you can take advantage of to hasten your route to the finish line. Whenever you see a jump that there is a possibility that you could make and doing so would enable you to skip a section you should attempt it. Make sure if you decide to go for it you roll to build up speed and when you jump remember to chain combos (flutter, spin, dive, and slap) while airborne to extend your leap. By atempting these jumps you will be able to find the optimal route to the finish.
Roll to Move Faster and Increase your Jump Distance
Sackboy has the ability to roll and if you repeatedly mash the roll button on your controller you will be able to make him roll indefinetly. Keep in mind that Sackboy rolls faster than he runs so in order to achieve the top times you need to use this move extensively. You will find that if you roll into a jump you will be able to slightly increase your jump distance, this is something which will come in handy as you progress through the game.
Easy Best Friends Forever Trophy
To get the Best Friends Forever torphy you need to team up to take down the Topsy Turver, a deadly and diabolical device with the sole purpose to turn the planet of Craftworld into a nightmarish hellscape.
