World 6 - Hesitance
The Pit?
Your new power allows you to throw down a special ring that slows down the time of everything in proximity to the circle. The closer you are to the center, the slower you move.
There is nothing of interest in this level, so just run to the exit.
There and Back Again 2
Puzzle Piece #1: Look familiar? This is actually the same level that you played in World 3, only this time you're going to be using your new found ability to slow time rather than rewinding time in order to beat the closing gate.
Jump up to the platform with the locked door and press Y to place your ring down.
Work your way up to the top of the level and pick up the key. Be careful of the rabbit that is hiding right next to it.
With the ring slowing down the time near the locked door, you should have plenty of time to grab the key and make it back to the locked door to claim the puzzle piece before the gate closes on you.
Phase?
Puzzle Piece #1: This level should also seem familiar. Climb the fence and place the ring at the edge of the platform.
Hop across the slowly moving clouds to make it to the canon where the puzzle piece awaits.
Puzzle Piece #2: Head to the right and climb the next fence all the way to the top. Place the ring near the flower and head back down to the platform.
Jump on the cloud as it heads to the left and then jump to the right before the cloud reaches the end. It may take a few tries to get the timing down, but the idea is that the ring up top will slow your jump enough so that the next cloud will appear below you as you're falling down.
Once you get the puzzle piece, proceed to the right to move on to the next level.
Cascade
- Puzzle Piece #1: Your first piece waits in the top left corner of the map, so start off by climbing the ladder and heading to the left.
- Jump over the gap and place the ring a couple of steps to the left from the spike pit.
- This is tricky, but you want to jump on one of the enemies while they're slowed down inside the rings, and then bounce off another enemy to reach the top platform where you'll find the puzzle piece.
- Puzzle Piece #2: Pick up your ring and head all the way to the right until you reach the canon that is firing fireballs.
- Place the ring on top or near the canon to slow the rate at which the fireballs are fired.
- This will allow enough time for the enemies that fall from the ledge above to make it underneath the puzzle piece and act as a springboard for you.
- Puzzle Piece #3: Rewind time until you're underneath the canon that shoots enemies. Make your way to the edge of the platform and wait for an enemy to fall down to your level. Once it touches ground, it should make a little bounce. Time your jump so that you land on the enemy at the top of this bounce in order to make it on to the platform with the canon.
- Wait at the edge of the platform until it fires another enemy. Jump over the enemy so that you are on the left side of it. When it falls off the edge, wait for it to walk a bit on the platform below before jumping on it to land on the platform on the right.
- Grab the key and then make your way towards the canon on the right that is firing fireballs.
- Once again, place the ring on top to slow down its rate of fire.
- When an enemy makes its way across the platform and is out of the line of fire from the canon, pick up your ring and follow the enemy to the end of the ledge below.
- Jump on the enemy when it walks off the ledge and bounce on to the canon to your left.
- Place the ring on top of this canon.
- Climb up the ladder on your left and pause below the line of fire from the slowed down canon.
- When the next fireball passes by, quickly make your way to the locked door on your left and unlock it with the key.
- Flip the switch and wait for the next fireball to pass. Once it does, run to the right, climb up the ladder and make your way to the puzzle piece that rests right above the entrance.

Impassible Foliage
Puzzle Piece #1: As soon as the level begins, place your ring underneath the vertically moving platform that will block the horizontally moving one if it goes unchecked.
Once the horizontally moving platform beats out the vertically moving one, pick up your ring and continue on.
Your next order of business is to place the ring underneath the killer plant pipe. Do so and then climb up the ladder.
Run across the pipe once the plant retreats and hop on to the platform as it moves towards the puzzle piece.
Puzzle Piece #2: Climb back down the ladder and pick up your ring. Then climb back up the ladder and jump across the platforms as you make your way further to the right.
That's right, it's another one of these puzzles. The goal here is to get two spiny enemies in a row to get past the three killer plants.
The easiest way to do this is to use your ring to slow down one of the plants until there is a point when all three plants are in their pipes. Once that happens, immediately take your ring back.
After that, it's just a matter of pausing time once all three killer plants are in their pipes, which will give the green glowing spiny enemies a clear path to the other side.
Wait for two enemies to fall down to your level and then double bounce off of them to reach the platform that holds the puzzle piece.
Elevator Action
- Puzzle Piece #1: Climb up the second ladder into this maniacal structure that forces you to climb ladders as you desperately run away from fireball spewing canons.
- Once you reach the top, flip the switch to activate the elevator that will take you down to where the key lies.
- Take care of the bunny that lies in wait underneath the key, pick up the key, flip the switch and jump on to the elevator.
- Now comes the fun part. Place the ring on the left edge of the elevator and hit the switch right after the top canon fires. You can probably guess what comes next.
- Run as quickly as you can to the ladder on the right and start heading down. If you're quick enough, the ring will slow down each canon as you get to them, allowing you enough time to make it to the ladder on each floor.
- Once you make it to the bottom, pick up the ring, climb up the ladder to the left, unlock the door and claim your hard earned puzzle piece.
- Puzzle Piece #2: Head all the way to the right to reach the next part of this level.
- Climb the ladder and jump to the platform on the left. Place your ring right in the middle of this platform.
- Jump down and climb back up the ladder. This time hit the switch to your right.
- This will cause the elevator above with the ladder to come down and the horizontally moving platform below you to move to the left.
- Since the elevator is moving slowly, the horizontally moving platform will beat it out and will make it over to the left side.
- Jump on to the elevator and climb the ladder to reach a switch. Flip the switch, and then make your way over to the ladder that you just dropped
- Climb the ladder and move on to the glowing green platform to make yourself immune to your own time manipulation. Once you're glowing, rewind time to before the switch was pulled.
- Once that's done, move on to the small platform to the left and put down your ring.
- Make your way back up to the switch and pull it one more time.
- Now go back to the ladder that you just dropped again and position yourself on top of the glowing platform.
- Rewind time to just before the switch was pulled and press RB to pause time.
- Press RB after time is paused to cause time to move forward at 1x speed. As soon as the ladder comes with range of your jump, let go of X and quickly climb up the ladder to reach the puzzle piece before your green glow wears off.
- Puzzle Piece #3: Pick up your ring and head back to the switch all the way on the right.
- Flip the switch to raise the elevator. Place your ring down underneath the canon and flip the switch again.
- Jump on to the glowing elevator platform and stand on the right most edge. Rewind time until the elevator reaches the top.
- Jump across the platforms and over the fireballs to reach the third puzzle piece on top of the canon.

In Another Castle
- Puzzle Piece #1: Congratulations! You've made it to the final puzzle piece of the game. While actual process of obtaining this piece isn't all that complex, it's a very tough one to figure out. I highly recommend trying to figure it out yourself before checking out the solution.
- As soon as the level begins, walk over to the fire pit and place your ring on the left edge. Wait a couple of seconds before picking it back up.
- Head over to the ladder on the right and place your ring at the base of the ladder to slow the canon enough for you to climb it safely.
- Once at the top, flip the switch to cause the key to fall into the fire pit.
- Now move on to the glowing floor and rewind time to the very beginning of the level, but don't let go of X.
- Press RB to cause time to move forward at 1x. Once you see your ring appear, let go of X and flip the switch.
- Quickly run to the right and fall off the edge. Run back to the left, past the canon, and jump over the fire pit to grab the key as it bounces up.
- Take your ring, head back to the ladder, slow down the canon, climb the ladder, unlock the door and you'll have obtained the final puzzle piece in the game.
- Proceed all the way to the right to complete the world.
