The Simplest Kids Game No One Can Platinum

Sackboy's Platinum is NOT for Kids! In this video, I went for Sackboy: A Big Adventure's Platinum Trophy! While this game is designed for kids, I don't think any kid is capable of getting the platinum trophy due to the sheer difficulty of the ripsnorter time trial towards the end. I've gotten multiple platinum trophies on other platformers and this one still gave me a huge challenge!

Little Big Planet will always be one of the most difficult platformers ever. Playing the community levels on lbp2 most likely gave me multiple hernias 💀

[@Maurice_V]

This game really shows that looks can be deceiving. People look at a colorful art style like this game has and think it's going to be super easy, but it's not and it showed. A good friend of mine was stuck on the 'String It Together' trophy for a while too, was kinda funny to see him rage after failing so many times haha! I think I'm going to give this one a try. Congrats on the plat, Nick!

That last trophy before the platinum was really hard. Hands down the most infuriating experience I had so far, as a starter in trophy hunting. I took it lightly when I attempted it. Your video perfectly captures all of the emotions when going through this challenge.

[@bobjim3234]

For those planning on goinbg for this platinum, the time trial trophy is actually quite forgiving in terms of time. It's still really tricky platforming, but if you nab most of the extra time and take care on the tricky jumps, you should be able to get to the final part and rack up a bunch of extra time with the dozens of time nodes.

[@PlatiDan]

I remember that String It Together trophy, I spent a whole night trying to beat it and once I finally did it I was able to do it again pretty easily. They are very generous with the amount of time they give but most people try to go too fast

[@shishinonaito]

It can be done by walking all the way through, never rolling, so yeah, time is not a problem at all

No matter how good this game is. They missed a huge opportunity in calling the game: Sackboy - a Little Big Adventure

[@jane1975]

@neroking7296: There was a game called with a name like that back in 1994 on PC and later a PS1 version with a sequel in 1997 with a character called Twinsen, made by Electronic Arts, so they probably wouldn't want a law suit and infringement on the name.

[@EaterFenix]

[@scribble71891]

I've got to admit this game was rather tame when it came to getting the platinum. The LBP games were definitely worse in my opinion. Also those platforms at 2:42. You can switch it to using analog control rather than motion in the settings. Helps a lot when playing laggy games or tackling the Ripsnorter. String It Together is hard but it gives you enough leeway to take your time as grabbing all the bonuses at the end will still net you gold.
