The Pit 3
- Puzzle Piece #1: As always, a new world means a new time manipulation power for you to get used to. In this world, that power is the ability to record a clone of yourself who will perform all of the moves that you did prior to rewinding.
- To illustrate this power, let's grab this puzzle piece at the bottom of the pit. You'll notice that it has a purple glow. This means that your clone can interact with it.
- Jump down and grab the puzzle piece, but then rewind so that you're back on the ledge after you grab it.
- Wait and you'll see your dark clone grab the piece and then stand there. Since he doesn't have any more actions to perform, he'll just stand there with his head down.
- Now that you have the puzzle piece, jump across the gap and exit through the door on the right.

So Distant
- Puzzle Piece #1: Climb the ladder and wait by the switch for a few seconds. Hit the switch, wait for the door to raise all the way and then rewind time.
- Your clone will do the exact same thing you just did, so while he's waiting to throw the switch, you should be running over to the door so you can run under it when it opens.
- Climb the ladder and grab the first puzzle piece.
- Puzzle Piece #2: Same deal as the last piece. Jump on the enemy and wait a couple of seconds before you throw the switch. Once the door opens, rewind time to the point before you stomp the enemy.
- This time bounce off the enemy to land on the platform on the left. Once the door opens thanks to your clone, climb the fence and grab the puzzle piece.

5-3
- Puzzle Piece #1: Climb the fence and drop down to grab the key.
- Commit suicide by jumping as far as you can to the left and into the spikes below.
- Rewind time so that you're back at the bottom of the fence. While your clone climbs the fence and grabs the key, you should position yourself at the very edge next to the spikes so that you can receive the key when you clone jumps to his death.
- Climb the fence and unlock the door to grab the first puzzle piece.
- Puzzle Piece #2: Proceed to the right and drop to the platform below. At the base of the ladder in front if you lies a rabbit with a purple glow.
- Draw it out by moving close and then running to the left. Keep its attention for a couple of seconds and then rewind time to a time when you were still on the platform above.
- While your clone goes down to taunt the rabbit, you need to jump over the gap and make your way to the opposite side of the tunnel and climb the ladder while the rabbit is distracted.
- Grab the puzzle piece and rewind time to get back on the top platform to reach the exit.

Crossing The Gap
- Puzzle Piece #1: Make your way upwards by climbing the two ladders to your right and then the one to the left.
- Don't hit the switch just yet. Instead, jump over the gap so that you are on the side with the canon. Jump down and stomp the enemy below.
- Rewind time so that you're next to the canon again and let your clone stomp the enemy once again.
- This will cause the canon to shoot out another enemy, which will give you the springboard you need to reach the first puzzle piece above.
- Puzzle Piece 2: Jump back to the platform with the switch on it and hit the switch so that the moving platform starts moving to the left side.
- Once again, jump down and stomp on the enemy and rewind time so that you're back at the switch.
- When your clone goes down to take care of the enemy, hit the switch once again to call the platform back to the right. This will create a bridge that uses the shadow platform on the left, and the actual platform on the right.
- Once your clone takes care of the enemy below, a new enemy will be shot from the canon and will make its way across the bridge.
- Wait until the enemy gets close to the right wall and then bounce off of it to reach the top of the ledge where you can climb the ladder and claim the second puzzle piece.
- Puzzle Piece #3: If you can figure this one out yourself, consider yourself extremely clever.
- Head back to the switch and put the platform back on the left side.
- Jump down to stomp the enemy and then rewind yourself back up.
- When the canon fires another enemy, quickly make your way to the right side of the level.
- Jump down to the bottom level where the exit door is and wait for the enemy to come by.
- Position yourself so that the enemy lands on you when it falls down to the lower level.
- Once it hits you, rewind time so that you're back at the top of the ladder.
- Your goal here is to jump off of the enemy after it bounces off your clone to reach the platform on the right with the puzzle piece.
- It'll take some timing to get it down, but luckily the enemy can be rewound so you can retry as much as you need to.

Window of Opportunity
- Puzzle Piece #1:Head towards the right by climbing up the ladder and traveling across the top ledge until you reach the enemy patrolling around with a key.
- Take the key and unlock the purple glowing door at the bottom.
- Rewind time to a point where you have the key on the top platform and before your clone unlocks the door at the bottom, you unlock the top door, quickly jump on the purple glowing door, and make your way to the switch on the left.
- If everything went smoothly, the platform covering the first puzzle piece on the left should be moving, the purple locked door should be unlocked and you should be able to backtrack to the beginning and claim your puzzle piece.
- Puzzle Piece #2: Make your way to the right side of the level for the next puzzle piece.
- Stop when you reach the top of the last ladder.
