If you’ve been following our guides forAstro Bot’sCamo Cosmos, you might be a little confused as to why you still don’t have every collectible even though you finished every level. Then again, if you’ve beenfollowing our Astro Bot guides from the beginning, you’ll know exactly why - the secret levels, baby. Astro Bot is a game that asks you to constantly explore to find extra special rewards, and even navigating the maps themselves comes with surprises. So buckle up, and get ready to search with us for some of PlayStation’s most iconic mascots making their cameos here.
Jigsaw Piece
As ever, there is one random jigsaw piece not in any level whatsoever. At various points while cruising around space in the Camo Cosmos,a UFO appears and a jigsaw piece pops up behind it.Use the trigger thrusters to chase after it, remembering that going through planets can slow you down. If you miss it, fear not - just leave the Cosmos and return, and it will eventually respawn.
Lost Square Void
Four more platforming challenges await in the Camo Cosmos, and even though this is the penultimate zone, it actually has the hardest one of the bunch, so good look. This Void itself isn’t much of anything, and has no reward, but it does unlock the four actual levels below.
Boing Bonanza
This level uses a new mechanic,jumping on fans to spring up in the airand reach new heights. You’ll need to do that whileavoiding flaming barriersif you want tounlock Kazuma Kiryu from Yakuza(now called Like a Dragon), who is also needed forthe Deep-Pocket Dragon Trophy.
Follow The Light
In this level,all of the platforms are invisible, so you’ll need to jumpusing the lightbulb to see them, all while avoiding the obstacles. Learning the path ahead so you’re able to react quicker will be key here. At the end, you’ll rescue a bot dressed aR4: Ridge Racer Type-4’s Reiko Nagase.
Vertical Velocity
To rescueThe Legend of Dragoon’s Dart (in bot form), you’ll need torace up the walls while avoiding and defeating enemies. Like Follow the Light, this one ismore a test of memoryas to where things appear from, so after a little trial and error it should be a doddle.
Splashing Sprint
This is the tough one. It’s one of the few levels that requiresconstant speed, and also needs you to keep your cool as the world burns. The hardest part is when youclear the lava and start to run in a more sidescroll pattern. There isoil on the ground here, and more from the slime monster, souse the duck to spray it awayas fast as possible to make it through this one. At the end, Max from Dark Cloud 2 can be rescued.
Retro Rampage 4
When a meteor flash on the screen, that means stuff is about to go down. And by stuff, we mean the other s-word that we can’t say because it’s a swear. And by that, we mean unlocking Retro Rampage 4.Careen into this meteorbefore it disappears, and the level will appear. After that, you’ll need totake on this combat gauntletto unlockCaptain Rock from Motor Toon Grand Prix.
Crumble Rumble 4
Get ready to rumble (and crumble), in this fourth of five Crumble Rumble levels. This one is a little different, asthe enemy is a floating electric alien.Instead of making it drop, it erases the floor. Luckily,to the right there is a trampoline beneath, so jump on that to get enough height to bash the alien away. Once this is done, you’ll rescueSSX’s Mac Fraser. To unlock it in the first place, look out for several small asteroidsandcrash into them allbefore time runs out.
