One LittleBigPlanet 3 player took to the internet to share their recreation of an iconic stage from the Mortal Kombat franchise, the Dead Pool, along with their recreation of two fan favorite Mortal Kombat characters. The Dead Pool has been featured in nine different Mortal Kombat titles, with its latest rendition being featured in Mortal Kombat 11. Having been re-imagined multiple times since its introduction in Mortal Kombat 2, the Dead Pool can now add LittleBigPlanet 3 to the list of games featuring the iconic location.
The LittleBigPlanet franchise is known for the freedom it affords players, allowing fans to create entire games within its in-depth customization system. Players have remade their favorite games, characters, and locations within the engine of the LittleBigPlanet games. LittleBigPlanet 3 is the latest main series entry in the PlayStation exclusive franchise, featuring the largest catalog of creative options available to players in its sandbox gameplay. One player went on Reddit to share their recreation of a famous Mortal Kombat stage, the Dead Pool. Also featured in the post are two recreated Mortal Kombat characters, Sub-Zero and Scorpion, complete with Scorpion's iconic chain spear.
Reddit user zedreh shared a screenshot of their recreation of the Dead Pool within LittleBigPlanet 3, which features their rendition of Sub-Zero and Scorpion fighting at the iconic location. Also pictured in the background is a skeleton on a hook, which has been a key detail in the stage's later renditions. While the post is missing the violence that is a staple of the Mortal Kombat franchise, there's no doubt about the accuracy of zedreh's creations.
The recreation of the Dead Pool isn't the only notable detail from zedreh's post, as they also remade Sub-Zero and Scorpion with surprising accuracy. Sub-Zero is pictured holding an ice ball, one of his most famous attacks. Scorpion also has his iconic weaponry in the image, as he's seen holding a chain spear, which Scorpion uses when uttering his famous catchphrase. It's remarkable seeing the accuracy with which the Dead Pool, and the featured characters, have been remade in LittleBigPlanet 3. The recreation features the acid pool, hanging skeletons, and iconic fighters that are expected in any iteration of the Mortal Kombat stage.
The recreation featured in zedreh's post is a testament to the creative freedom that LittleBigPlanet 3 encourages its players to utilize. While the franchise hasn't been updated with a main LittleBigPlanet title since 2014, fans like zedreh remain, using the game's various customization options to bring creations new and old to LittleBigPlanet 3's gameplay.
LittleBigPlanet 3 is available now on PS3 and PS4.
