Using Time Controls

Time Sweepers have one big advantage in facing challenges and over- 
coming obstacles: the ability to control time. Has the bridge fallen down? 
No problem—REWIND time to restore  the bridge, then cross it. Lots of 
enemies coming at you? Use PAUSE to stop them in their tracks while you 
keep going! 

Sweeping up time crystals lets you use the following controls and 
combinations to alter the flow of time for brief periods.

TIME CONTROLS

 

REWIND  Time flows rapidly backwards for everyone but you.

  FF 

(Fast Forward) Time for you flows  

rapidly forward, giving you great speed.

 

PAUSE 

Everything stops except you.

 

RECORD  Your actions are recorded for a few seconds and then 

replayed. During playback, you will see a copy of yourself 

repeating what you just did.

 

SLOW 

Time slows to a crawl for everything but you.

If you have the right kind of sweeper, you can combine two Time Controls 
to get past obstacles or avoid attacks. Using a Time Control Combo gives 
you both effects combined.

USING SPACE CONTROLS

It’s good to be a Tom Tom—especially when you can 

use Space Controls for all kinds of mischief!

To use a Space Control, select the one you want using 

the D-pad and then press 

  to activate. 

For the Space Bubble, Warp Tunnel, Quantum Snare, 

Void Trap, Time Grenade, and Banana, hold down 

 

when activating to aim, then release 

  to throw.

HYPERCL

OAK

You can move around 

under this cloak without 

being detected, but don’t 

move too fast or you’ll be 

spotted!
