There are seven Hidden Bots and three Puzzle Pieces to find in the Trapped In Time level in Astro Bot.
Follow this walkthrough to discover the location of each collectable in the level.
Hidden Bots
Bot 1
The first Bot can be found shortly after gaining the rocket ability. Look for a sandfall on the left - there should be a green enemy on top of it. Rocket up and defeat the enemy to reveal a pull handle.
Grab the handle and use the rocket to pull open the cage and reveal Bot 1.
Bot 2
When you reach the area with the first snake enemy, look to your right to spot a yellow pull handle. Opening this will reveal a grate that lets you see behind the sandfall to the right - Bot 2 is hiding down there.
Look even further to the right and you’ll see a platform to jump down to. If you jump through the sandfall, you’ll reach the hidden area where Bot 2 is hiding.
Bot 3
As soon as you enter the interior part of the level, you’ll see a metal block that you need to jump over. The block has a yellow handle on one side, so make sure to land on him when he’s in the upright position.
Pull the handle to reveal Bot 3.
Bot 4
Progressing further through the level, you’ll come across a stone pillar to the right with a green enemy on top of it. Instead of heading in this direction, look straight ahead to the blocks rotating through the purple sand.
Platform across this section and use your rocket to reach the section above where Bot 4 is hiding.
Bot 5
Heading over the rocky bridge, you’ll see two snakes flanking a purple pool. Defeat both of these snakes and toss them into the pool. This will reveal a spot for you to use your spin attack.
Drill down into the sand to reveal Bot 5.
Bot 6
Once you’re outside again, continue up to the next checkpoint. Bot 6 is sitting right next to it.
Bot 7
When you get to the very end of the level, don’t jump on the pedestal right away. A bird is carrying Bot 7 above your head.
Use your rocket ability to knock the Bot down. I found jumping onto the nearby trees to be a useful way of doing this.
Puzzle Pieces
Puzzle Piece 1
The first Puzzle Piece is found while you’re soaring into the level on your ship. Look out for the golden snake head that’s sliding down the sand dune, and pilot your controller into it to collect the hidden piece.
If you don’t manage to collect it on your first try, feel free to restart the level from the pause menu.
Puzzle Piece 2
Before heading to the interior area of the level, turn around and look for a bottle of water sitting on a platform. Use the rocket to jump over to it, defeat the centipede enemy, and smash the bottle to get the second Puzzle Piece.
Puzzle Piece 3
After finding Bot 5, you’ll come across a glass floor that’s covered in golden rocks. Destroy some of this ground with your laser legs, to reveal a hidden area that holds Puzzle Piece 3.
