Here's a star that require you to be quick on the buttons to grab hold on. Begin by setting the level up so that you could get to {{im|Braid Puzzle-6-6-2.png|x16px}}'''Puzzle Piece 6-6-2'''. You need the small platform on the left of the big one and you need the ladder to the piece down. Read how to get to set this up at {{im|Braid icon Level 6-6.png|x16px}}[[../World 6: Hesitance#6-6 Elevator Action|'''6-6 Elevator Action''']].
When you get to the point where you could technically get {{im|Braid Puzzle-6-6-2.png|x16px}}'''Puzzle Piece 6-6-2''', climb up the ladder which was dropped down by pulling the lever and get off onto the small platform which makes Tim not affected by time manipulation. Rewind time to a point where the ladder is almost about to fall down, all while standing on the green glow, just like you would if you were to grab the puzzle piece. As soon as the ladder is falling and within reach of Tim, very quickly jump on it and rewind time as quickly as possible. This should bring the ladder all the way up to the top, before it started to fall. Now you can climb to the top of it and jump down to the left.
If you continue to walk left you'll see the star on a platform as well as a basin of green glow which transfer over to Tim. Down below is the lever operated elevator and the fireball cannons from when getting {{im|Braid Puzzle-6-6-3.png|x16px}}'''Puzzle Piece 6-6-3'''. Only the elevator will be interesting now, though. Stand on the green glow for a bit, jump down and pull the lever, and ride the elevator down.
If you remember, down here you will be attacked by a mimic. Lure the creature onto the elevator and pull the lever down here. You need to get the mimic riding the elevator up to the area above. When it's up there, begin rewinding time and it'll ride down again. Continue to rewind and Tim'll go up the elevator too and jump up to the green glow. Continue to hold the button for rewinding but change the direction of time flow, so that it moves forward. Tim is unaffected by time manipulation since he's standing on the green glow, but all the events that happened before unfold again: The elevator will go down, the mimic will jump on it and ride up with it.
Now you have the mimic up here and you could use it to bounce up to the platform with the star. Unfortunately, the star is too far up for a simple jump on it. You need to jump on the mimic while it's doing its strike, because it's closer to the star then; Tim's bounce will be enough. Jump down and place a ring somewhere slightly to the right of the lever. Get the mimic to attack inside the ring's area of effect, but dodge the attack. When you feel that you have a jump from the mimic that you'll be able to hit mid-air form the platform above, rewind time to get back to the green glow. Continue to hold the button for rewinding time but make time move forward again, like before. Now the ring should appear again and the mimic will begin to attack. Pause time at a moment you feel the mimic is at a good mid-air position for a bounce over to star, then quickly let time flow and jump for it. If you hit the mimic at its strike's apex you should bounce all the way over to the star on the platform.
