Alternate ending sequence

Collect the first seven secret stars to unlock the last secret star in the final level. Some of the switches in that level can no longer be affected by time manipulation, allowing the last secret star to be collected and changing the ending.

Epilogue

Find all 60 puzzle pieces and successfully complete all jigsaw puzzles in every World. The broken ladder that leads to the attic in the house where levels are selected will now be fixed. Climb up and enter the door to access World 1. Successfully complete World 1 again to view the Epilogue. You can now revisit the Epilogue by walking into the hidden alcove on the left side of the title screen.

Hidden Book in Epilogue

In the second-to-last room in the Epilogue (Just before the Castle), jump from the elevated platform onto the center of the bridge / middle of the rock. A sound will play and a new journal entry will appear.

Hidden Texts in Epilogue

Aside from the last, each room in the Epilogue has at least one object that you can stand behind. If you have the red book on that screen open and the text of it is displayed in the air, standing behind these objects in the proper location will cause a sound to play and the text to change, revealing more information. If you open a green book, the red book will close and the text will disappear, so you will need to use time manipulation to see all 4 of these secret writings.

New journal text in Epilogue

Every room in the Epilogue except the last one has one or more objects that you can stand behind. Open the red journal on that screen, and display its text. Stand behind one of the previously described objects. If done correctly, you will hear a sound and new text will appear. Note: If you open a green book, the red book will close, and the text will disappear. Time manipulation must then be used to see all four new text.

First room: Read the red book, then find the hidden book with the scream.

Second room: Drop down, read the red book, then use time manipulation to rewind up to the left hand ledge. Walk behind the scenery until you hear the sound again.

Third room: Read the red book, then walk into the next room. Stand on the left side of the green platform. Use time manipulation to rewind until you hear the green book close. Walk back into the third room. Move behind the rock.

Fourth room: Hit the switch so that the green platform goes up. Hit the switch to bring it back down. Stand on the red book. Use time manipulation to rewind so that the platform moves up with you on it. Run off the left of the platform. Look behind the rock for the sound.

Unlock Final Star and secret ending

Throughout the game, there are 7 secret stars. If you collect them all, the 8th and final star will appear in the last level; when this happens, some of the switches in the level will become immune to time manipulation, allowing you to reach the star as well as changing the outcome of the chase.

Unlock World 1 and the Epilogue

In the house (level select area), there is a broken ladder that leads to the attic. To repair this ladder, you must find all 60 puzzle pieces and assemble each world's jigsaw puzzle. Once this is done, you may climb up and enter the door to World 1. After beating World 1, you will be taken directly to the Epilogue, which you can return to at any time after its completion by walking left from the title screen, into an offscreen alcove.
