World 2
Three Easy Pieces
Like the title suggests, this level is pretty straight forward and acts as a tutorial. Make your way to the right. Press A to jump and make your way up the small ledges. Further on you will come to a fence. Hold Up on the control stick to climb the fence. Notice on the next fence how you can't really leap off from the fence when holding onto it. At the top of this one, simply hold Right to fall off the fence and land on the ledge.
You will soon come to a ladder where you can see the first of the three puzzle pieces here. Climb the ladder and cross the platform to the right. Drop down the platform below and backtrack to the left on the lower platforms to collect the first Puzzle Piece of the game. If you happen to fall into the pit of spikes, know that you can press and hold X to rewind time to whenever you want so you may hopefully save yourself from repeating death. Using LB speeds up the reversal, RB halts then forwards.
Continue to the right and you will come to the first monster of the game. Simply jump on top of it to bounce off high into the air. This is a taste of what's to come. Just to the right you will find another monster pacing back and fourth on a platform above. You should notice the puzzle piece floating above this little guy. Climb the ladder to the platform then bounce off the monster's head to leap further into the air and nab Puzzle Piece 2. If you happen to miss, you can either wait for the cannon to shoot out another monster, or rewind time by holding X.
To the right you will find another platform but with two monsters occupying it and with a puzzle piece that is higher in the air. You'll need to bounce off the top of one monster and land directly on top of the other to fly even higher into the air. Do this to grab Puzzle Piece 3 in this area. Proceed to the right and jump up to the door on top a ledge. Press B to open it.
The Cloud Bridge
Ignore the ladder near the start for a moment and jump to the ledges to the right. Pick up the key then jump back across to the left and climb the ladder with key in hand. You don't need to do anything to pick up the key, just step on it and you'll pick it up automatically. At the top of the ladder, use the key to unlock the door. Jump onto one of the floating clouds the cannon is spitting out. Ride the cloud to the right and you'll pass right through a Puzzle Piece 1 to collect it.
To the right you will find the clouds you were riding are running into a tall skinny ledge and disappearing. Jump to the ledge to find that more cloud platforms are floating towards you from the right. You will now need to jump against the direction they are going as you make your way to the right. Keep jumping and you will land on the cannon that is shooting the cloud platforms as well as the second Puzzle Piece 2 of this area.
Now, you will notice the next two puzzles are as just to the right by the exit door. One directly above the door and one high above on an platform. Ignore them for now and come back here once you have collected all the other puzzle pieces in this world. With the other pieces collected, go to the puzzle table in the middle of the level. Assemble the puzzle and it's pieces if you haven't already. With the puzzle mostly assembled, you will notice a small platform the boy in the picture is reaching for. It's in the center of the right side and is brownish. Pick up the puzzle as a whole and move it to the top left corner. Just slide the entire puzzle up there. Exit the puzzle table and take a look. The goal is the align the ledge in the puzzle with the actual ledge of the level, where the monster paces about. Keep readjusting it until the creature walks off his ledge and onto the puzzle's ledge. He will then drop down to ground level and continue to the right. If he doesn't, simply move the puzzle so the ledge is no longer under the monster, he will then most definately drop and move to the right. Follow to the right and bounce off him to reach Puzzle Piece 3 just above the exit door.
To get the final piece you will need to use the puzzle table again. This time align the puzzle's ledge out in the top middle of the table. Climb the platform to the left and then leap off it to the right to land on the platform of the puzzle. From here hop to the platform to the right and collect Puzzle Piece 4.
Hunt!
Here you'll find six monsters pacing back and fourth on various platforms and levels. The object is to kill all six which will unlock the door in the very top right corner. Jump on and kill the monster on the ground level. Climb the ladder and don't kill the monster on this platform! Jump to the left and take the monster here and climb the second ladder. Kill the monster on this long platform then go stand on the edge to the right. You will find yourself directly above the platform and monster you passed by a few moments ago. From this higher platform, you need to drop down and land on the monster below in order to bounce way back up onto the higher platform to the right. This may take a couple tries so remember you can rewind time and try again as many times as it takes to reach this other platform.
Once you have taken out the lower monster and used his head as a trampoline to land on the higher platform, kill the monster here then climb the ladder and kill the last monster at the top of the screen. Once all 6 monsters are dead, the locked door will open and Puzzle Piece 1 will be yours to grab. Make you way back to the ground and use the door to the right to exit this area.
Leap of Faith
As you enter this are you will see Puzzle Piece 1 floating just above the door. Climb the ladder to the right and stand next to the lever on the left side. Press B to flip the lever and watch the floating platform move to the right with out you. In the middle of this gap the platform is moving across begin flipping the lever back and fourth to try and hold the platform in front of the cannon to the right. The cannon will shoot a monster out and you need to catch the monster on the platform and safely carry it to the left. When the monster has dropped off the platform and landed safely on the ground below, thanks to you, make your way back down and towards the door your entered through. Jump on top of this little creature and bounce into the air to collect Puzzle Piece 1.
Climb the ladder to the right and press B to flip the switch on top of the platform. Quickly jump to the floating platform as it moves to the right. Watch out for the monsters being shot out of the cannon. Hop over the cannon to find yourself on a ledge just above another cannon. This cannon is firing monsters off into a narrow pit. Before taking the leap of faith however, time your jump off the ledge so you land on a monster as it is shot from the cannon. Your goal right now is to bounce off this free flying creature and land on the ledge to the right. Use X to manipulate time until you have successfully landed on the opposite ledge. Here you can pick up Puzzle Piece 2.
Next you will need to drop from the ledge into the pit below. Here you will need to drop towards the left side while avoiding the random spiked platform here and there. Again, play with time until you have made it through the hazards and have grabbed Puzzle Piece 3 at the bottom.
From the bottom of the pit, head to the right and begin to climb the ladder. Be on the look out for falling monsters. You'll need to get off the ladder periodically and wait on a ledge for them to fall. Once one as fallen, jump back onto the ladder and climb up to the next ledge. On the third ledge you will find Puzzle Piece 4.
Continue up the ladder and to the right. Wait for the piraña plant like monster to lower back into the ground before jumping over it. To the far right you will discover a castle and be greeted by a small dinosaur.
World 3
The Pit
No puzzle piece here, just a test to show you how time can be manipulated here. In the pit below you there is a monster carrying a key. Drop into the pit and pick up the key, killing the monster is up to you. Once you have the key, hold X to rewind time. You will notice that the key stays in your possession as you rewind time. When you have reached the top ledge of the pit you can stop rewinding. Hop over the pit and use the key to unlock the door and then exit through the next one.
There and Back Again
You need to be quick here right from the start. Quickly climb the fences and make your way up to the top. Ignore the monsters or hop on them, just get to the key in the top left as fast as you can. Now, rewind time and you'll take the key back down with you. When you rewound to the platform just above the ground stop and hop to the right and unlock the door and grab Puzzle Piece 1 before the wall closes it off to you. When you have the piece, leave through the exit door below.
Phase
Climb the ladder near the entrance and watch the cloud platforms moving towards you. Once you stood there and seen them for a bit, rewind time to see that the green glowing ones continue to move forward even as you rewind time. Use this opportunity space the clouds out enough so you can jump across them to reach Puzzle Piece 1 on top of the cannons to the far right.
Continue to the right and you will find more moving cloud platforms. Again, use the rewind ability to space the clouds out and jump from one to the other. To the right you will collect Puzzle Piece 2. Head to the far right to find the exit door.
The Ground Beneath Her Feet
Climb the ladder and use the platform in the air to drop off from to land on the platform with the lever on it. Flip the lever to move the ground to the left to cover the spikes. Now rewind time as the ground and lever won't be affected by it. Go all to way back to the moment you started. A monster will fall from the right and now instead of landing in the spikes, he will land on the ground platform you moved. Avoid killing him until he has snuck into the small nook to the left and retrieved the key for you. Take key back out to the lever and flip it to move the platform to the right. Use the key to unlock the door and grab Puzzle Piece 1.
Head to the right and you will come to a lever on ground level, the movable platform it controls above, a pit of spikes to the right and another puzzle piece on the opposite side of them. Flip the lever to move the platform to the right. Now climb the ladder to the platform above while the movable one to the right. Stand there a few moments then climb back down the ladder and quickly flip the switch. As the Platform moves back to the left, rewind time and basically only yourself as you will climb back up the ladder and land on top of the movable platform. Now leap off the platform to the right to land on the ledge with Puzzle Piece 2. This may take a couple tries. Once you have collected the puzzle piece, rewind time to the moment before you jumped here. Don't worry the piece will stay in your inventory, see, it's glowing green. Drop back down and flip the lever to move the platform to the right and use it to cross over the gap and find the exit door to the far right.
Tight Channels
Make your way to the right and you will be introduced to the bunny monsters. Think Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Anyway, jump on them and continue to the right. Climb the ladder and you will reach a platform just under a puzzle piece. High above you you will see a cannon shooting fireballs to the left and glowing monster that keeps getting killed by these fireballs. If you can see him move to the left, the goal here is to rewind time and protect the unaffected by time monster from the fireballs. This basically involves tapping the X button to keep him in between two balls of flames. When he reaches your platform, bounce off his head to collect Puzzle Piece 1.
The next part is almost just a 100mm dash. Proceed to the right where you will be ambushed and chased by bunnies. Watch out for the pirana plant that will pop out of the ground. Either bounce off the bunnies to get over it or simply wait for it to retract. Continue to the right where another horde of bunnies will attack you while you have to carefully navigate yourself in between firing fireballs. Use the rewind if you get hit to try again. Keep at it and keep moving right. Climb the ladders near the end in between the balls of flames and grab Puzzle Piece 2 high above before exiting through the door.
Note: The easiest way to get Puzzle Piece 2 is to carefully time the cannons so that the green cannon which is shooting at a downward angle takes out every other fireball that the cannon facing right shoots. This gives you a rather large period during which you can make it through the last hallway to get to the ladder.
Irreversible
The goal here, at the very start, is to not rewind time. So don't screw up for a minute. You should notice that above there is a green glowing platform moving upwards and a normal platform moving to the left. If you rewind time, the left moving one will be affected but the green one won't and it will block the left moving one. Simply hang out by the door, kill the monsters and bunny and wait for the left moving platform to clear the green up moving one. If you happen to die and need to rewind time, just step back through the door and come back in to this level fresh. Any rewinding, and the smaller platform will block the larger one. Once the larger platform has made its way over the smaller one, head to the right and climb the ladder. Avoid the bunnies and hop on the platform to the left. Jump over the pirana plant and kill the monsters to the left. Now jump onto the platform you waited patiently for and nab Puzzle Piece 1 in the corner.
Head to the right until you find a ladder that leads under ground. You will find a platform with two locked doors on the right, a pirana plant and key on the left. Avoid the plant and grab the key. Use the key in the first door. You should notice that the doorway is glowing green. Rewind time and the doorway will remain open and the key will go back into your hands. Now use the key a second time in the second door and collect Puzzle Piece 2 just past it.
Continue down to find three locked doors to the right, three pirana plants to the left, a key on the platform and a ladder to the far left. Notice the locked door in the middle is glowing. Alright, start by ignoring the key and making your way through the pirana plants to the ladder to the left. Climb down the ladder and drop from it to retrieve the green key down below. Now rewind time and you will carry the key back in time with you and back onto the ladder. Climb back up and carefully navigate the plants again. Be extremely carefully as to not touch the other key as well. If you do, you will simply need to restart this level. Use the green key to unlock the first door which will make it inactive. Now grab the other key above the plants and use it to unlock the green door, rewind time and use it a second time to open the third door and grab Puzzle Piece 3
Climb your way back out of this underground area and make your way to the right avoiding bunnies and fireballs along the way. Put the puzzle table together if you want and then exit through the door in the bottom right.
Lair
Grab the key from the monster mid-air and rewind time to land back on the ledge. Jump across the gap and use the key to open the door. To the right you will find a large sleeping monster. You have to defeat it to attain the key to move on, so might as well wake him up. Climb the fence and drop one of the chandeliers by pressing B. This will wake the beast up. Rewind time to restore the chandelier. The large monster is not affected by time and these two chandeliers are you only way of damaging him. Stay on the fence and drop the chandeliers on his head. Every time you do, rewind time (it won't affect the monster so the damage you do is permanent), then drop it again. You'll need to hit the beast 6 times to defeat it. Once you have, collect the key from its body and unlock the door to the right and exit this area.
A Tingling
Above the entrance you will notice a green movable platform. Straight above that is a monster carrying a key and to the left is a cut off ladder that leads to a puzzle piece. Start by heading to the right and climbing the ladder there up and then climb down the other two to find the lever. Flip the lever to make the platform from the start move towards you and the right. Ignore it for now. Just let it move. Climb up to the very top platform and head to the left. You will find yourself above the key holding monster. Drop down take and take the key from him. Now make your way back to the lever in the quickest/shortest way possible. Flip the lever to make the platform move back to the left and hold the rewind button to rewind time. You may need to speed up by tapping LB to increase the speed of the rewind. Rewind yourself back to the left side where the key holding monster was. Drop down onto the platform just below him and wait for the platform to come to you. Hop onto the platform and then to the high up ladder that will lead you to Puzzle Piece 1.
You should hopefully hold the key in hand by now, if not head back up and around to grab the key from the monster. Make your way to the lever with the key in hand and flip it. Simply wait for the platform to move to the right and climb down to it and unlock the door it brings you to. Climb up the tall ladder to the right of the puzzle piece that is behind the wall. This wall slowly dropped from the moment you entered this level. Ignore this for now and climb up to the fence and use this to get to the far right while avoiding fireballs. Drop down the right side and now climb across the fence in the middle above the spikes. Watch out for all the cross fire. To the bottom left of the spiked pit, you will find a lever. Drop onto it and flip it to make a green glowing platform appear above the pit. Rewind time, the platform will remain unaffected, and then stand on the platform itself. Now, you will be unaffected by time manipulation. Rewind time to the very start of this level (tap the LB button to increase the reversal process. Keep going backwards until you see the wall that was blocking the last puzzle piece rise. Now make a mad dash back up the ladder and around to claim Puzzle Piece 2.
Head to the far right to find the exit.
World 4
The Pit
The monster in the pit below you is connected to your movements, meaning, he moves when and how you move. Basically, go to the right and hop over the gap to the other side. The monster will have now grabbed the key from the little nook. Drop down and take the key from him and rewind time with the green key in hand back up to the platform above. Use the key to unlock the door and exit the area.
Jumpman
Here you will notice that the entire world is now tied to your movements. Ignore this first set of platforms and head to the far right. High above you will see a puzzle piece in between two doors. Keep going until you come to a ladder. Climb the ladder and follow the platform to the right while avoiding the fireballs. Climb the next ladder and then hop onto the rock to the right instead follow this platform back to the left. Hop up behind the cannon and then grab Puzzle Piece 1 sitting just in front of it.
Now head to the left across this top platform and then use the smaller higher platforms to grab the key. With the key in hand head all the way back to the left where you originally started. Do not open the door on the right side of the other puzzle piece! It will not open and make your key in active. Instead, back at the beginning you should climb the first two ladders then hop onto the rock to the left. Jump on the suspended in mid-air monster and bounce off him to get behind the gorilla platform above. Make your way across this top platform to the right and jump up to nab Puzzle Piece 2.
Just after grabbing the second piece, leap off this ledge to the platform with the last remain puzzle piece in between two doors. Unlock the door on the left with the key and collect Puzzle Piece 3.
Make your way to the far right to exit this area.
Just Out of Reach
Again, the movement of the world and its beings and objects is directly connected to yours. Climb up the ladder and then flip the lever. Continue up the ladder to the platform above. Now hop off the ledge to the left and bounce off the free falling monster and land back on this higher ledge. Basically, once you've flipped the switch, if you go anyway past it to the left it will flip it back to the starting position, which is what you want to do while staying on the higher platform. Now use the monster here to bounce over the movable wall and claim Puzzle Piece 1.
Just after grabbing the first puzzle piece, hop off the ledge to the right and bounce off the monster in mid-air and land on the ledge to the right. You will notice the key hidden down below in the small tunnel, ignore it. Climb the tall ladder high into the sky to find a platform and a lock door and the second puzzle piece. Ignore it. Hop onto the rock on the left and jump off it so you land on the highest platform of the three you were just navigating. Once here, run and leap off this platform to the right once again but this time you won't have to bounce off monster therefor he lives. Move to the right and he will sneak through the tunnel and pick up the key. Now head back to the left and take the key from him. With the key in hand, repeat the process of bouncing off this monster to reach the platform to the right (above where the key was). Climb the ladder back up to the sky and unlock the door and collect Puzzle Piece 2.
Hunt
Alright, this is the same set up as in the World 2, Hunt. You need to kill all six monsters again however the movement of the world is connected to your own so you can undo kills. The best thing to do is stand on the far left, where you start and then make note of where each monster is. You need to kill them in order from left to right. Almost. Kill the one on the very top first. Get there the usual way, climbing the ladders then jumping from the mid left platform onto the monster on the bottom right platform to get to the mid right platform. The monster used for the jump will be reborn because of your rewind movement. Then take out the monster on the mid left platform. You have to use the monster on the bottom right again, this tome from the mid right to get to the midleft. Thirdly, take out the one to the left on the bottom platform. Get there by dropping down from the mid left platform to the lower right one, then jumping over. Drop to the ground and kill the monster there. Next, you need to kill the monster on the right side walking the lower platform while bouncing up to the higher platform to the right. To do this you must jump on him twice. Once while moving towards the left (rewinding) then in the air start moving towards the right (forwards) thus killing him and getting a high boast to the last platform. Kill this final monster in the mid right corner and the door will unlock and stay unlocked. Collect Puzzle Piece 1 and exit the area.
Movement By Degrees
Your first goal here is the move to the right, the little monster man will move to the left as you do the opposite. You need to navigate him through the chopping plants and to the far left where he will pick up the key for you. Know that you need to climb over the square rock and continue to the far right until you hear the chime of him picking up the key. Head back to the left and meet him in the middle and take the key from him. Jump up onto the platform above, avoid the killer bunny and then climb the ladder up to the locked door high above. Unlock it and collect Puzzle Piece 1.
Next, stand on the high platform in the middle of the whole level. You should see the puzzle piece above you. To the upper right you will find three pirana plants that move up and down according to where you are. To the very far upper right, monsters will spawn that are unaffected by time manipulation. The idea is to move the plants up and down to safely get the monster through them so you can bounce off him to reach the puzzle piece. This takes a bit to get used to. First you got to figure out the three locations that correlate to each plant. On the platform below the puzzle piece, just to the left of the closest plant will make this one retract. Make sure you find it and stand there for a moment. Now, drop off the ledge to the right and keep going until you make the furthest plant to the right retract. Once a monster is safely by the first plant, run to the left until you see the middle plant retract. When the monster passes successfully over the middle plant you need to quickly rewind time to the moment when you where standing on the platform and had the left most plant retracted. Again, this is why you should stand there a moment so you have more time to stop yourself when rewinding. The monster will be unaffected by the rewind and if done right, will safely walk over the final plant. Jump and bounce off his head to reach the platform and Puzzle Piece 2 above.
You'll find the exit in the lower far right corner.
Movement, Amplified
Like before, you will need to navigate a monster safely over a few pirana plants. Notice there is two directly next to one another that are extremely fast. Avoid the plants and ignore the monster as you head to the right. Climb the ladder you come to and hop onto the clouds. Go all the way to the left and you'll notice that when walking on clouds you speed everything up (except the unaffected plants). Once on the far left the monster will be alive and if you didn't already look for the key in lower left hand corner of the screen, by the door. It's in a nook which means the monster will need to retrieve it for you. While on the far left and on the clouds, carefully get the monster over the first set of plants by moving to the right. Walk him just up to the second set of double super fast ones. When they go down, book it to the right and jump off the clouds to keep going until you hear the chime of the key being picked up. Make your way back to the left, it doesn't matter now if the monster dies or not. Just take the key climb up back up into the clouds. To get this puzzle piece between the two locked doors you will need to unlock the door on the left side. Unlock the left door and grab Puzzle Piece 1.
Next, make your way up the tall ladder on the right side of the clouds. At the very top, run and jump off the back of the cannon to the right to land on another cloud platform that appears. This can be a bit tricky, be sure to jump from the can at the last possible second to reach the next set of clouds. Hop from this one to the platforms to the right and collect Puzzle Piece 2. Drop down and exit through the door.
Fickle Companion
Grab the key, hop over the pit and make your way to the right. The basic, almost, frustrating thing to figure out here is that the key can only move with you to the right. If you move to the left, the key will begin to rewind time on itself. So, grab the key and move to the right. Ignore everything for now and simply run to the right and hop onto the ledge and unlock the door. Now drop below the door and move under it to the left. This will rewind time and the door and key will redo themselves. A monster will be shot from a cannon and land on the ledge with the key. If there is a monster already in the small room with you, kill it to make another be appear. This monster will grab the key and then carry it through a small tunnel back to you. Kill him for his kindness and unlock the door to the right to claim Puzzle Piece 1.
Get yourself out of this area by simply rewinding time. Jump and climb up the ladder (from the left side) and then hit the lever at on the platform. Drop off the ledge and move to the right to see that the platform will move with you. Now, stand and wait on the small block sticking out of the ground. Kill the monster on the ground who's unaffected by time. The cannon above will now ready itself to fire another monster into play. Move slightly to the left to get the moving platform to stick out from the ledge to the right. The object here is to catch the monster on the platform and walk him back to the left. As you do this the key will rewind itself and hop back up near the lever as long as you had it when you flipped it earlier. You want the monster to start push the key on his own which will move it in real time back to the left. Quickly race to the left and climb the ladder up the beat the monster and the key. Move to the left edge of this platform and wait for them both to come to you. It's important that you on on the left side of the higher ladder. Jump on and kill the monster then rewind time to the jump and you will collect the key. Since you are on the left of the ladder. Jump to the right and climb it and then move to the right and unlock the door to grab Puzzle Piece 2
Make your way to the right and simply keep going until you exit the world.
World 5
The Pit
Hop into the pit and collect the piece of the puzzle. Now rewind time until you are on the ledge again, this will strip you of the piece. But wait...when you let go of the rewind button a shadow of you repeats the path you just took and collects the piece for you! Knowing this, exit this area to travel deeper into World 5.
So Distant
Begin by climbing the small ladder to the right. Ignore the lever for a moment and run to the left along the platform until you hit the closed wall. Now walk back to the right and flip the switch to raise the wall which will shut before you can get through it. Now, rewind time back to when you were standing next to the wall. Release the button and the stay put as the shadow of yourself goes to the lever and hits flips it. When it does that, quickly go under the opening wall before it shuts again. Climb the ladder and grab Puzzle Piece 1.
Head to the right. There you will find another closed wall which is on a platform to the left. In the middle is a monster pacing back and fourth. Then, on a platform to the right is a lever. You can't reach the lever platform or the wall platform without bouncing off the monster. So, jump off from the monster to reach the lever platform and flip it to open the wall on the over side. Rewind time to right before you jumped and let your shadow bounce up and flip the lever while you bounce off the monster to the other side and run under the now open wall. Climb the ladder and collect Puzzle Piece 2. Exit through the door to the lower right.
No Name
Start by climbing the fence to the platform above, and then dropping down below where the glowing purple key is. Move to the right a bit to trigger the killer bunny to pop out of the ground and then run to the left where it will stop just under the ledge so you can't kill it. Now rewind time until right before you dropped down there. Stop and then leap across the gap to the other platform and let you shadow go down below. Drop down around the other side of what looks like a box with a puzzle piece inside. While your shadow has the killer bunny's attention, sneak behind it and use the ladder to get into the box and claim Puzzle Piece 1.
Now, it's probably best to simply rewind time all the way back to the start, don't worry you won't loose your puzzle piece. Now do the same as before, climb the fence and drop down to the key and pick it up. Next, get a running jump and leap over the flaming pit of spikes to the left. You won't make it but that's okay. Rewind time to the start again. Let your shadow go up and around unknowingly to it's doom. You however should stand on the edge of the pit. When the shadow leaps across the pit with the key, he will hand it to you. Now simply climb the ladder, unlock the door and grab Puzzle Piece 2. Jump your way to the upper right hand corner to find the exit.
Crossing The Gap
Start by ignoring everything and running to the far right. Climb the second ladder you find to the platform high above then make your way to the left. Ignore the lever for now and simply drop off the ledge and kill the monster down below. Once you've done this, rewind time to right before you jumped off. Let you shadow drop down and kill the monster while you leap across the gap and stand in front of the cannon. When it spits out another monster to replace the one your shadow killed, bounce off this new one to reach the platform above from where you can retrieve Puzzle Piece 1.
Next, is the same sort of thing. Stand on the edge of the movable platform, then drop off and kill the monster down below. Rewind time again and let your shadow repeat this as you flip the switch. Your goal is to get the monster's respawn from the cannon onto the moving platform and guide it to your side. You got to be quick here. Once the monster is on the platform side with the lever and you, follow to the right then jump on it and bounce up to reach Puzzle Piece 2.
For the last piece, flip the lever so the movable platform is on the left. Drop down and kill the monster so another one spawns above. Watch as the monster crosses the platform and now falls onto the tilted platform. Quickly raise the monster to the right. Don't kill it. Drop down to the lower section to the right and wait just under the ledge. As the monster drops off, jump up and head-butt it from underneath to send it into the air. Now rewind time back before you dropped down there. Quickly climb the ladder as your shadow gets into head-butt position. You need to jump off the platform above and bounce off the monster after it has been head-butted into the air. This will propel you onto another platform where you can collect Puzzle Piece 3.
Window of Opportunity
Climb your way up and over the platforms to the right. Kill the monster with the key and drop down to the ground. Head to the left and unlock the purple glowing door. Rewind time back to when you killed the monster. Grab the key from it again and let your shadow go and unlock the purple door while you unlock the normal door above it. Jump across the gap and flip the lever then pass through the open purple door your shadow unlocked. Head back to the beginning and collect the now freed Puzzle Piece 1.
To the far right is a tricky puzzle. You will see the puzzle piece itself on a platform at the very top of the screen. You will also see an upper lever and a lower lever. Stand in front of the upper lever for a few moments. Now run down to the lower area and stand just under the lower lever. Stand there for a few moments then press B even though it doesn't do anything for you right now. Next, rewind time to when you were stand next to the upper lever. Let your shadow run off and head down to the lower one. As soon as it is on the movable platform below, flip the upper lever to raise the platform with your shadow on it. If you stood directly under the lower lever earlier, your shadow should line right up with now. Quickly hop onto the raised platform to the right of the upper lever before your shadow flips the lower lever (again, this only happens if you pressed B earlier). Your small platform should raise and you will be able to grab Puzzle Piece 2.
Lair
Here you'll face another large creature much like you did in the Lair of World 3. This time however rewinding time will undo the damage it has done. Luckily however, you will be able to hit him with your shadow self and the shadows of the chandeliers. Hit the beast 5 times to be given the key. To do this, your shadow must deal an additional blow. Start by hitting the monster twice with the chandeliers. Now rewind back to the first chandelier. This time, leave one hanging. Your shadow will still drop the two, plus the additional one you'll drop. You can choose to drop either, but leaving the left one hanging usually results in an easier time. The monster should have a damage of three, if it doesn't, easier than fixing it, is restarting it. Hit the monster with the last chandelier, then rewind to do it in sync with your shadow.
Now, instead of running to the exit to the right, head to the left and use the key on the locked door above the entrance. Run to the left and flip the switch. Rewind time to about halfway in between picking up the key and flipping the switch. As your shadow takes off to flip the switch, you should go to the right and unlock the door leading to the exit. There you will also find Puzzle Piece 1 on the other side of a wall. However, if you hit the lever correctly, you shadow will do the same which will raise the wall for you to grab this piece of the puzzle and then escape.
Fragile Companion
Climb the fence, kill the monster and take the key. Now jump off the platform towards the two doors, so that you would land right at the first door. Rewind time in midair before you land until just before you kill the monster. Now your shadow and you will both have a key. Your shadow will jump and follow it through, thus unlocking the first door, follow so you can then simply unlock the second and collect Puzzle Piece 1.
World 6
The Pit?
Try out your new ability. Press Y to activate your time ring which slows time in the area of the circle it creates. Press Y to pick it back up again. When you are ready, exit using the door to the right.
There and Back Again
Run to the right and set your time ring down under the wall that is closing on the second level platform. This will slow the wall's speed. Make your way to the upper left corner and grab the key while avoiding all the monsters. Head back down to the time ring and use the key to unlock the door and grab Puzzle Piece 1. Pick up your time ring and exit using the door below.
Phase?
Climb up onto the platform face the incoming cloud platforms. Set the time ring down to slow the closest cloud so the following one gets closer. Pick up the time ring and jump to the now reachable next cloud. Again, whip out the time ring to slow your current cloud until the next one is within jumping range. Pick up your ring and leap to the next cloud. Continue this until you land on the cannon and can reach Puzzle Piece 1 above it.
Next head to the right and climb up the tall ladder. Set your time ring down directly on the lone flower on the platform above the new cloud cannon. Drop down to where the cloud platforms are. Here you need to jump onto one cloud then leap into the air and hope you go into the circle of your ring. This will slow you down in midair just enough so you can catch the next cloud as it is spit out of the cannon. Then jump onto the cannon and collect Puzzle Piece 2. This can be a bit tricky. Use you ability to rewind time to get the timing of your jumps perfect.
Cascade
Find your way all the way over to the right. There you will see a monster that is continually respawned out of one cannon then then almost instantly killed on a lower platform by fireballs from another. Set the time ring on cannon to the far right to slow its rate of fire. Now let the monster walk more to the right and bounce off him to reach Puzzle Piece 1 hovering above the slowed cannon. Pick up the time ring.
Now make your way to the upper left portion of this level. Set the time ring down in front of the cannon firing monsters in an arc. Set the ring down just about in the middle of the arc. Hop on top of the cannon and leap onto a monster as it is fired into the air. Time will get slower the closer to the ring you are. You might need to bounce off two midair monsters which shouldn't be that hard considering how slow time is moving. Reach the platform above and then collect Puzzle Piece 2 in the upper left corner.
Next, head back towards the right but stay along the top. Again, you need to use this monster being shot out of the cannon above to reach you goal. Set the time ring down on the very edge of the platform. As a monster comes down from the left, jump on him to bounce up onto the platform with the cannon shooting monsters. Now wait and let the next monster go by you and fall to the platform below with your time ring. From this higher platform, you can now jump down and bounce high off the monster to reach the platform to the upper right with the key on it. Pick up the key then drop back down and pick up your time ring once again. Next you'll need to use it like before and set it on the cannon to the far right again. Slow this cannon's fire so a monster can survive and drop down below. Pick up the time ring and follow the monster to the left. You need to bounce off the monster and land on top of the cannon in the middle of the area shooting to the left. Use the rewind ability to get the timing right. Set the time ring on top of this cannon and hop off to the left and make a run for the door at the end of the long narrow tunnel. Flip the lever to raise the platform outside to the left. Wait for a fireball to be shot from the cannon. Once it hit the back wall make a run back down the tunnel. Climb the ladder and head back to the left offer the top of the stage. You will now be able to pick up Puzzle Piece by dropping down on top of it. You can now simply leave the area without picking up your time ring again. It'll reappear in the next level with you.
Impassable Foliage
Begin this stage by placing the time ring directly under the vertical movable wall. You need to slow down this vertical one so the horizontal one can slide out to the left. Once this happens pick up the ring and head to the right and climb the ladder. Place the ring on the platform directly underneath the pirana plant above. This will enable you to pass by this extremely fast plant. Climb up and pass over the slowed plant and then leap out over the flaming spikes to land on the horizontal platform you released moments before. From this platform you will be able to simply jump up and grab Puzzle Piece 1.
Make your way back around and pick up your time ring. Head up to the upper right portion of the level. There you will find three pirana plants that are controllable via time manipulation and respawning monsters that are not affected by any time manipulation. The goal here is to lead two of these guys to the left where they will drop down to your level where you can bounce from one to the other and then high up to the platform above. There you will grab Puzzle Piece 2.
- Strategy 1: To do all this, place the time ring under the center pirana, basically this enables you to only have to worry about the two plants on the ends. The best thing to when a monster is crossing over a retracted plant, is to tap the rewind button. This will pretty much keep the plant under for as long as you want.
- Strategy 2: By using the time ring you can get all three plants in more or less perfect sync. Then simply hold the rewind button and tap the forward button once. This will freeze time allowing two of the monsters to pass.
When you have the second piece exit through the door on ground level to the right.
Elevator Action
Ignore the first ladder that leads up to the locked door which conceals the puzzle piece from you. Instead, head to the right and navigate your way up the ladders to the very top. This can easily be done without using the time ring. Flip the lever at the top and ride the elevator down to the area with the key. Watch out for the killer bunny! Grab the key and flip the lever here and ride the elevator back up. Once at the top, set the time ring down on the very right corner of the elevator, this will slow down time around the top most cannon. As soon as this cannon fires, flip the lever and run to the right. Leave your time ring on the elevator, it will ride downwards slowing each cannon's fire along the way. Once you've made to the bottom, you can grab your time ring while standing under the lowered elevator. Head back to the left and climb the ladder, unlock the door and grab Puzzle Piece 1.
Head to the far right. Once there, climb the ladder and hop onto the platform with the lever that's directly under the cannon. Place the time ring here and then flip the lever. drop down and ride the moving platform to the left then stand on the right most edge of the vertically moving platform. Rewind time while standing here, the world will rewind but you will not. When the platform has raised you up, jump up and to the right while avoiding slowed cannon fire and collect Puzzle Piece 2 sitting on top of it.
Lastly, flip the lever under the cannon to lower the vertical platform and pick up your time ring. Jump onto the vertically rising one and set your time ring down on it. Hop back over to the lever and flip it to return both platforms to their original positions. Once they have reset themselves, hit the lever again. Now the vertical one will lower extremely slowly allowing the horizontal one to sneak by underneath it and more to the far left. Hop onto the vertical on and grab your time ring. Climb this ladder and flip the switch at the very top of the screen. This will drop a ladder to the far left, make your way over there. Climb the newly fallen ladder and stand on the horizontal moving one that you snuck over here. While standing on this special platform, rewind time (you won't be affected when standing on the orange platform) to just before the ladder fell. You need to set the time ring down to slow time as the ladder falls. The real trick here, is to know that when you step off this special platform, you will remain unaffected by time manipulation for a second or two. You need to use this chance to leap and cling onto the ladder then rewind time again while still glowing green (unaffected) to ride the ladder back up then fall to the left and claim Puzzle Piece 3. This will take quite a few tries. Always remember to start from the special platform to make yourself unaffected. You'll find the exit in the far right corner.
In Another Castle
Start by climbing that first tall ladder and then setting your time ring down on the platform near the unreachable key. Leave it there for a few moments then pick it up and drop back down and move to the right. Place the time ring on the edge of the cannon and climb the ladder while the ring slows the fireballs. To the left of the lever you should notice some sparkling ground. Stand there to glow green and become unaffected by time manipulation. While here, rewind time back to when the time ring reappears on the far left next to the key. Stop rewinding and quickly flip the lever then drop down to the ground on the right side of the ladder. Head back to the left. You will see that the ring has slow the fall of the key and both should be slowly falling towards the pike of spikes. Leap into the air and press Y at the same time to reclaim your time ring as well as the key from midair. Repeat the process of getting up the ladder then use the key on the locked door and grab Puzzle Piece 1 from the other side.
Make your way to the castle to the far right.
World 1
You need to collect all 60 puzzle pieces and solve all 5 puzzles of the other worlds to unlock this one. Once you have, the ladder leading to the very top of the (hub) house will be complete and you may enter this world.
4th Door
This world is backwards! Time your jump just right to bounce off a rising monster to reach the exit door.
3rd Door
Stand on the spot the monsters are rising from. This will basically un-kill them. Climb the tall ladder as the monster walks backwards around the ground until he flies up to the long platform then to the shorter one which you should be standing on. Bounce off him as he retreats to the cannon to reach the exit door.
2nd Door
Again, stand over the spot in which the monsters are reverse rising from. This time, however, the ladder to the top platform is broken. Instead just repeatedly bounce on the monster's head as he backtracks to the cannon in the top right side. You will be able to bounce off him near the top to reach the door.
1st Door
After the little opening scene unfolds, you'll need to make your way to the right and navigate through a slue of traps and obstacles while you raise walls for the Princess and she does the same for you. If you get stuck somewhere and the fire is just too close, rewind time to find where you made a mistake and then correct it. The couple tricky parts are; knowing to wait on along the edge of the large pit of flames then jumping at the last possible second, the princess should flip the lever to raise the platform for you to land on it just in time. Then the hardest part is where the monsters are pacing about. You need to perfectly time your jump and bounce off one to reach the lever then quickly drop down to the ground just in front of the one headed to the right then leap over the last one to exit the narrow cave. This is really tricky and will take a lot of rewinding to get the timing down. After this, continue to the right avoiding the pirana plants and then climb the fence to the reach the balcony next to the princess's window. The screen will flash and the princess will be in bed. You won't be able to do anything but rewind time to reveal the ending.
