Even though it might not be the the hardest star to find, this is probably going to be the hardest star of them all to actually ''get''. Begin the level by grabbing the '''key''' and climbing up to the monstar cannon at the top of the level. What you might not know is that it actually isn't the top of the level. There's a whole other structure above, just out of camera-view. You'll have to jump a monstar as soon as it shoots out of the cannon to reach that further up place. In fact, you'll have to bounce two of them...

A new monstar won't pop out of the cannon until the one wondering around the bottom of the level is killed, so jump down and land on it. Rewind time and get back to the cannon, wait for one to come out, and jump on it mid-air. The bounce won't be big enough though, so keep Tim hovering mid-bounce by controlling the rewind. When a new monstar shoots out of the green-glowing cannon, be sure to land on it mid-air too, to get a high enough bounce to get up to the path to the star.

Hopefully you haven't dropped the key on your way up here. Remember, you can't move left up here or you ''will'' lose your key. Instead, move to the right and jump down to the area below. Moving left again (but not too far, don't go as far as to the cannon), the key will move on up to the newly found part of the level. Remember seeing a few '''gates''' up there? You will have to use the key on them, but you can't move left up there without losing the key. The green-glowing monstars can take however the key to the left, so get one up there. Jump down to the new monster below and kill it. Quickly get back up to right side of the cannon, either by rewinding time or climbing the ladder. Jump down again just as a monstar is about to pop out and make him land on you and he'll bounce up, just like Tim did before. Rewind time back to solid ground and make the monstar land on Tim again, because the monstar also needs a double bounce to reach all the way up.

With the monstar up there, wait until you hear it grab the key. Then rewind all the way back to when Tim was up where the monstar now is. Make your way to the ladder leading to the gate. Be careful to not kill the monstar or you'll have to get a new one up here. It's better to let the monstar kill you and then rewind Tim back to life than to try to jump over it, as you might accidentally kill it. Grab hold of the ladder and wait for the monstar to get close. It's possible to steal the key from the monstar without killing it, so wait on the bottom on the ladder until Tim touches the key the monstar is carrying and quickly climb up the ladder as soon as you got it.

Open the gate with the key and flip the lever behind it. Run all the way to the right of the platform you're on. A barrier will open up down below because you flipped the lever and the monstar can walk on further down the path toward the star. Make sure the monstar ''isn't'' behind the barrier but somewhere under Tim and run all the way left this time. The key will pop down to where the monstar is and he'll pick it up. Once he does, rewind time to when the barrier was wide open and let him walk through it. Then tun through the gate again and close the barrier shutting the monstar inside.

Jump down to the monstar and climb up the ladder a bit, but be careful again to not kill the monstar. Like on the previous ladder, steal the key from the monstar again. As soon as you have it, you can go up and unlock the top gate, which will open up the home stretch to the star.
