If there’s a bone I’m willing to pick with Astro Bot, it’s that there aren’t enough classically haunted levels. Spooky Time nails the tone of goofy horror that I see far too infrequently. So, don your hunter’s garb and let’s track down every collectible to be had.

Spooky Time Bots
Image by DestructoidBot 1: After claiming the Time Stopper and making it past the gates, you’ll spot a ghost juggling two plates. The first wayward bot will be on one of them. Use the Time Stopper and bounce on the water bug bot to make your way over and rescue it.
Image by DestructoidBot 2: The second bot is found immediately after the first. There are two sets of ghosts juggling knives. Use the Time Stopper and collect the bot hanging on for dear life.
Image by DestructoidBot 3 (Alpha Male): Chris “I can’t use the lockpick” Redfield of Resident Evil fame is just past the ghosts and their knives. Look to the pat on the left. When you come to the spinning flower, you’ll see a pair of candles. Blow them out and jump over to rescue the former S.T.A.R.S. member.
Image by DestructoidBot 4: On the platform with the pumpkin spitters and chameleons will be a wall with a pull-rope. Dispatch your foes and pull on the rope to reveal a pumpkin-themed clam inside. Use the Time Stopper to rescue the bot inside when its mouth is open.

There will be a path of coins leading to a rooftop. Up there will be a face in the wall that moves up. Use the Time Stopper to move the correct block and reveal the fifth trapped bot inside.
Image by Destructoid Image by DestructoidBot 6 (Alpha Female): Jill Valentine, the best girl in all of survival horror, is our sixth bot. After getting past the wall mouth, you’ll pull a lightbulb out of the ground. As it reveals hidden platforms, take the path to the right toward the small column adorned with gravestones. Jump down the portal.
Inside, there will be several platforms to cross with our Master of Unlocking at the end. The trick is that the lights will flicker on and off. Use the Time Stopper to safely get across.
Image by DestructoidBot 7: Our final bot is obtained while doing a sick Prince of Persia-style run up the wall. Use the Time Stopper to navigate past the knives and grab the bot on the way.
Spooky Time Puzzle Pieces
Image by DestructoidPiece 1: When you come to the spinning flower and use it, the confined spooky squid will raise several platforms atop its tentacles. The first puzzle piece will be on the left.
Image by DestructoidPiece 2: The second puzzle piece is found in the same area as the fourth bot. Jump on the water bug and land on one of the columns. You’ll see several coins, with the center coin being false. Kill the imposter and pull the rope that appears to reveal the second puzzle piece.
Screenshot by DestructoidPiece 3: The final puzzle piece is in the arena with ghosts that have created a whirlwind of flying debris. Use the Time Stopper to get to the center platform. From there, it’s a matter of hitting the Time Stopper at the right moment and jumping across to the puzzle piece.
