Timeline/LittleBigPlanet

A timeline of LittleBigPlanet™ stuff, including its DLC which includes some neat IRL facts.

LittleBigPlanet™ is created from the collective consciousness of everyone. Therefore, the origin of many elements in LittleBigPlanet™ are based on when it was first created or (in terms of animals) discovered.

## What I wouldn't count as canon

* Toy Story Level Kit
	+ This kit plays with the idea that Sackthing is also a toy being played with by Andy.

## Timeline

### Before linear time

### A long time ago

### 1500s

* **Monkey Kong Costume**
	+ While already a mythical figure, Sun Wukong, titled the Monkey King, was popularized in the 1592 Chinese novel *Journey to the West*. After seven years of training with the sage Puti Zushi, scratching his name off of the register of life and death, eating the three Peaches of Immortality, sneaking into a royal banquet and drinking its immortal wine, eating a gourd of pills promising immortality while drunk from the aformentioned wine, extracting more immortality while being executed under fire, eating an even more immortal-obtaining fruit, and being gifted even more immortal food upon reaching the Buddha's temple, Sun Wukong has become the most immortal being in all of creation. Pretty swag honestly

	+ The reanimated dead originate from Haitian voodoo of the 16th Century.

### 1600s

### 1800s
