01 / THE GUIDE
Paradox Distance Test
Hold the power button for three different lengths, record how far the toast travels each time, and note which distance best matches typical gaps in the current world.
- Observe the toast’s jump arc before committing to a paradox.
- Experiment with different power‑hold lengths to see how far the toast can travel.

World Layout Mapping
Sketch each world’s pipe entrances and trampoline locations on paper; visualizing connections helps plan routes before entering a new level.
- Look for subtle visual cues that may indicate a secret passage.
- Take note of enemy placement early to plan a safe route.
03 / THE GUIDE
Skin Acquisition Log
Create a simple list of skins found in hidden rooms versus side levels; tracking sources lets you focus exploration where items are missing.
- Check hidden rooms for additional skins.
- Change into your favourite outfits at the hideout before setting off again.

Mini‑Game Pattern Comparison
After unlocking a mini‑game, play it in the hideout and note any jump or climb patterns that resemble those in the main puzzles.
- Install newly unlocked mini‑games promptly to explore them early.
- Organize collected items in the hideout for easy reference.
05 / THE GUIDE
Co‑op Synchronization Practice
Play with a partner controlling cat and toast, focusing on timing jumps and climbs to trigger the paradox without delay.
- Communicate timing for paradox activation when playing co‑op.
- Use split‑screen to keep both characters in view.
