Course 14 (Tick Tock Clock):

Last Updated: Friday, February 03, 2006

 

Go to the top of the level, and then fall down, and land where you started off!

Doctor Kay   

The Doctor says (submitted as an idea):  

How many stars can you get when the clock is moving erratically? Can you get ALL OF THEM??

   

Visitor says:  Go into the Tick-Tock Clock when the big hand is on the 12 and the movement inside the level is stopped. We all know that. But if you go in when the big hand is on the 3, the gears move slowly. If the big hand is on the 9, it moves quickly, and if the big hand is on the 6, it they move erratically back and forth.

It is possible to get four of the six stars in the level with no movement in the clock. (Get a Hand is the hardest one to get like this.)

Note: Edwin Cuevas also submitted info about the clock hands.

   

Visitor says:  Is there a way to get the Whomp's star atop the clock having the clock inactive?  Use the Stop the Clock trick, then head for the top and jump from the curving platform just before the flipping triangles.  Land in the lower part below Whomp's (you should hear him). Triple jump and kick of the wall above the slant of the lower part of the wall.  You will end up on the moving (which now isn't) yellow platform. Now the star is at hand.

   
The visitor submitted this trick as an IDEA, and

"Try to get to the top of the little spinning things right at the start of the level while they are moving."

  (This is a fairly well known trick.)

"Stop the clock by jumping into it when the minute hand is on the 12."

Note: I know this duplicates part of "It is Time to Play" above, but I wanted to keep this one separate.
