Local multiplayer is available from the start, but online isn't here just yet. As of the writing of this review, the online multiplayer function is missing from the game. The entire game can be played with up to four players from start to finish. One in particular towards the end of the game will leave a solid impression on fans of early 2000s pop music.

There is a handful of these throughout the main story that will surprise players the first time they experience them. In the first world, players are treated to Uptown Funk by Bruno Mars as enemies slide and jump to every thump the song generates. The real kicker is that these aren't just some indie musicians that few players have heard of, but rather big budget artists known all around the world. In these levels, every enemy, platform, action, and camera all follow the beat of the music playing. The shining gem of Sackboy: A Big Adventure is the Music stages. The game knows not to take itself seriously and embraces the weird and otherworldly tone it sets. One second the game is a 3D platformer, then turns into a topdown shooter viewpoint, then back to its 2.5D roots. The camera is much more dynamic to the gameplay, switching the games perspective (and gameplay style) to what the level requires. Sackboy: A Big Adventure retains the papercraft and cloth stitch art style the LittleBigPlanet series is known for but continues to build on it by fully using its new third dimension.

Even the overworld is full of secrets for players to find, including shortcuts to future levels and bells for players to spend at Zom Zom's, the aberrant merchant that sells the player customization options. While the game demands a certain amount of Dreamer Orbs to continue through the main story, it's never an annoying amount that can derail the player's enjoyment of the game.

Each level comes with a set amount of Dreamer Orbs to find within. The main bulk of the gameplay focuses on 3D platforming with properly spacing jumps, searching around every hidden corner for Dreamer Orbs or clothing options to customize Sackboy, and smacking enemies for a high score before reaching the end of the level.
