Now, I'm about to embark on a journey deeper than ever before. I'll be looking at every trailer for LittleBigPlanet 3 and taking note of every single thing that isn't familiar.
E3 2014 Debut Trailer
Now, some of these will be VERY questionable. You'll see what I mean.
- 0:16 Our, Handcrafted, and Adventure all use unreleased textures
- 0:19 This entire section of Stitchem doesn't exist
- 0:19 Noticeable amount of unreleased stickers
- 0:20 The section of Manglewood is slightly different in its Colour scheme
- 0:22 Stitchem Manor is brighter, uses unreleased pinwheel instead of polystyrene cog, and carpet is slightly different
- 0:35 Area of Manglewood looks slightly different

- ...which is also in Manglewood instead of Bunkum Lagoon
- 0:38 Swoop is in an unused section of the Great Tree in Manglewood
- 0:45 Newton uses Negativatron's laugh, likely a placeholder for voice acting
- 0:45 Newton has a slightly different coat
- 0:48 entire section of Stitchem Manor cut
- 0:48 uses the unused Curtain Tassles decoration

Interpretation
- 7&9 seem to suggest that you could replay earlier sections with unlocked characters for more prizes
- This, in term, gives a valid reason for why so much was cut in LBP3, removing that feature removes the prizes
- 12-15 Is a bedroom of Stitchem Manor, possibly a later version than 31
- 16 Suggests than Ziggurat was more Western-European, rather than Eastern
- 18 Shows that Adventure craters were a later addition, hence why customisation options for players are limited
- Manglewood is still a Fantasy themed area, rather than a B-Movie theme
- Stitchem is the brass planet, being themed on Music, Inventions/Clockwork, and lamps (an unused decoration)
- 20 shows what could be many things, here are the possibilities
- Each theme likely had a Four Player cooperation Challenge, this was Stitchem's
- It could be an early version of the Intro Level, being part of an earlier storyline where the new characters were from Craftworld and Sackboy had to rescue them
- The final level, acting as a nice relaxation segment to a, probably, frustrating-to-ace boss level
- As stated before, Manglewood was a Fantasy-oriented theme, but was changed due to the name
- There is an unused Fossil Clay material, possibly meaning (like Vita) there was a Clay material type
- Unused Magma Material, I wish and hope we get this in HUB
- Unused Colour-Tweakable Fungi Decorations
- AND MANY MORE Unused Decorations
- This is a very odd section, I have no idea if it took place in the Cut Theme Jacob's Well or Ziggurat
- The most notable materials are the Glowing Marble and Totem ones
- If this was Jacob's Well, I hope we get it in a later addition; Cave Themes are cool
- This could've been before Sackworm was dropped from consideration, worm + underground = obvious choice
- I know that the 1886 sticker is an easter egg, but 31 is an entirely new area
- The picture frame is new, maybe we were intended to get these like LBP1's picture frames
- There is an Egyptian eye in the background
- The out-of-place chandelier from the Ziggurat theme seems more at home here
- This could have been another cut theme, possibly Le Carneval Bizzare
- 36 Is actually a version of Sackboy's base skin, Brown Knit, just recoloured
