Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Enter the level. It is recommended to have time stopped by entering with the minute hand on the 12, but this walkthrough explains how to get the star with time moving.
  2. 2
    Look left at the swinging pendulum. Jump across the gap onto the other side when the pendulum swings out of the way.
  3. 3
    Climb up the three steps and go onto the treadmill.
  4. 4
    Walk to the end of the treadmill closest to the giant yellow rotating block.
  5. 5
    Watch the yellow rotating block and jump on top of it as soon as it rotates.
  6. 6
    Quickly jump onto the small platform to the right.
  7. 7
    Notice the pendulum in front of you and jump across the pit.
  8. 8
    Follow the brown/white striped platform to the left until it ends.
  9. 9
    You will reach three giant rotating blocks next to each other that rotate at the same time. Jump onto the top of them as soon as they rotate.
  10. 10
    Quickly climb to the highest of these three blocks, then jump onto another brown/white striped platform.
  11. 11
    Walk past a bar sticking out of the wall that will try to push you off.
  12. 12
    Jump up onto the large tan colored platform.
  13. 13
    Walk to the other side of the tan platform and jump onto the yellow treadmill.
  14. 14
    Jump onto the platform above the treadmill.
  15. 15
    Use the four (4) slowly rotating circular platforms as steps to make your way to the top.
  16. 16
    When you get onto the fourth circular platform, jump onto the brown/white striped platform.
  17. 17
    Follow this platform to the end, past a bar sticking out of the wall that will try to push you off.
  18. 18
    You will see a cage. Perform a double jump to grab the top of the cage, then pull yourself up.
  19. 19
    Proceed to the other side of the cage and follow the brown/white striped platform to the end.
  20. 20
    You will see a small yellow platform that moves up and down. Jump on it.
  21. 21
    Jump onto the platform above you.
  22. 22
    Collect the 5 coins, avoid the Spark (an enemy), and climb the pole.
  23. 23
    At the top of the pole, jump off to receive an extra life.
  24. 24
    You will now be on a large yellowish platform. Look to the front-left area for two '!' boxes and a Wind-up Shovel enemy.
  25. 25
    Avoid the Wind-up Shovel enemy and continue to the front-left edge.
  26. 26
    Use the yellow triangular rotating platform to get to the platform across the pit.
  27. 27
    Look left to see a brown/white striped platform and two giant pendulums.
  28. 28
    Across the pendulums, you will see the shiny star.
  29. 29
    Carefully cross the pendulums to reach the star.
Tips
  • Be sure to jump across the first pendulum when it swings out of the way, or you will be shoved off the edge.
  • If you are too slow on the three giant rotating blocks, they will rotate while you are still on them, causing you to fall off.
  • Be careful when crossing the pendulums to reach the star; one foolish step can result in falling down the pit below.
