==Story==
The plot shared by the three games follows the story of a cocker spaniel and their feline friend who are discussing the commercial for the upcoming Biggest Stars talent show. Harmony the Dancing Dog and her Yellow Sunshine Team are your spaniel’s biggest role models, and the dancing sensation is coming to town to put together a brand new team for the competition! There are a lot of special pets in town that would love to be on your team, but many of them are not sure if they have what it takes to be a Biggest Star. Join this furry duo and their talented friends to show them they have the skills to make their dreams come true!
When you have successfully assembled your 10-pet team, they will travel to the Biggest Stars village to compete in the event and let their talent shine. Your team will be announced as the Biggest Stars after each of the final competitions have been won. A cutscene will play with the pets celebrating their success.
==Gameplay==
The main goals of the game are focused around training your pets in fun mini-games in order to claim their spot on the team. Players are able to collect items for quests, interact with the environment and other pets, play games, and unlock new areas to explore. As the story progresses, the events are summarized in the local newspaper, which are announced during a small cutscene by NPC Dalmatian #1613. Unlike with previous games, there is no in-game currency; items are made or crafted by gathering materials within the world.
Rather than “pink swirls” to indicate an interaction spot such as in the predecessor, this game includes non-playable pets to interact with when going to play a mini-game or create something. Many of the NPCs originate from the predecessor game.
This game also reintroduces the feature of interacting with your pets by feeding, brushing, and playing with them in Bark Parks, which was not included in Friends. Each pet has a specific treat to feed it, which can be won in the Prize Twirl or created. By filling the pet’s happiness and hunger meters, this will earn bonus points in the mini-game the pet takes part in.

==Trivia ==
Many of the NPC’s scattered around the world are characters from the previous title Littlest Pet Shop Friends. These pets also show up in the beginning cutscene of the game. It is implied by the cameos and world setup that LPS Friends and LPS Biggest Stars exist within the same universe, simply being different towns.
Harmony the Dancing Dog is based off of the toy product “LPSO Dancing Dog” that was promoted for the Littlest Pet Shop Online game.
Within the game versions, each team has a specific name not listed in the title; the Blue Team is called Blue Stars, the Pink Team is Pink Hearts, and the Purple Team is the Purple Petals.
Rather than a specific location to make paints for dyeing clothes at such as Petal Drops Paint Shop in Friends, each boutique has a section where fabrics can be made.
