All hats

By KänguruGuru

This guide has been built from the work of Safety Owl, who wrote the hats guide for the original flash version of No Time To Explain. This guide lists each level which contains a hat and where they are located in the hat selection page. Also inluded is a short description of how to obtain each hat. If you have any problems with getting to a hat, comment below and I will try to add more info. I hope everyone likes the guide, and thanks again to Safety Owl.

Where to find them

First half: You start with A1

World 1:
1-1: A9 Right after exiting the house at the start, jump on top of the house.
1-3: A4 Jump on top of the door arch, then boost up and over the level to the right.

World 2:
2-1: A7 Jump over or walk under the portal at the end, and then drop out of the level to the right and quickly push left.
2-3: A3 Boost jump from the second platform
2-4: A2 Right at the start, boost yourself through the gap in the ceiling.
2-5: B1 Just climb onto the top of the level and go right. The hat is on a ledge on the left when you fall down on the other side.
2-6: B7 Jump on top of the destroyable blocks at the start and you should be able to reach it if you boost jump from the highest one.

World 3:
3-3: B2 On the spikes on top of the level. Boost yourself there from the first platform.
3-4: A5 On top of the first big pillar. On top of the level.
3-6: A8 Boost yourself over the level and to the left at the start.

World 4:
4-1: B5 At the bottom of the very first lake.
4-4: C10 Jump over the top of the level at the start and walk right.
4-5: B4 Go down the last lake to the right.
4-6: B6 Instead of going up the water, go to the edge at the start and boost right. The hat is low on the far right.

World 5:
5-1: A10 Just go down the big ramp over the spikes.
5-2: B8 Tricky. As soon as you hit the bouncer, thrust downwards and a bit to the right and try to land on top of the level. After that jump over the spikes to the right and try to aim for the hat.
5-3: B3 Just boost left and slightly upwards as you hit the first bouncer and make sure you land on the platform.
5-5: B9 Just push left on the beam, and you should start moving towards it.
5-7: C5 Just let yourself be caught in the beam on the right.
5-8: C3 Keep boosting up after you hit the first bouncer.
5-9: C1 On the first beam to the left, you can slowly work your way towards it by moving in and out of the beam's center. ALternatively, go into the opening on the left in the area with three beams and jump up to it.
5-10: B10 Don't rotate the stage, jump up on the right side then jump across to it.
5-11: C4 Hard one. DON'T GO LEFT! Instead, go up the ramp to the right almost to the bouncer. Then jump and push right against the wall. you should slide down the wall to the bouncer. As sooon as you hit it, fire left and down at a 45º angle and your should land on a platform on the top left. Then just jump through the hole in the ceiling and the hat is to the right.

World 7:
7-1: C2 Think fast! As soon as you can, fire to the left! The hat in near the spikes a t the top of the shaft. If you dont get it on the way down you can also climb up from the sides.
7-6: A6 At the end, go under the portal and up the little hole in the top right.
7-8: C8 In the second pool of water on the bottom of the screen.

Where to find them (night)

Evil Worlds:

World 1:
1-3: D1 Straight jacket jump in the bottom passage.
1-4: D2 This one just took some practice, I went about halfway up then boosted almost straight across into the gap, you could also try swinging in.
1-5: D3 Just sling right into it, you can take advantage of your brief invinibility after dying.
1-7: D4 You can sling from points in the wall to move a bit more freely.
1-8: F6 Simply pull yourself into it by grabbing some place on the wall.
1-9: F7 boost from the low platform on the left straight into it.

World 2: (equip the hamburger hat from the previous world for the greedrun achievement)
2-1: D5 Go past the cake, and then boost your way on top of the wall to the right.
2-2: D6 From the hovering platform at the start, boost over the cake to the left and you should see it.
2-4: F8 This one sucks. Do as you would to get to the second piece of cake, boost from the ramp to get high on the spike wall, then mash the boost button of a little boost, hold it and glide to the platform, but don't grab the cake (if you do you can kill yourself in the spikes and respawn at the top if you're careful)! Once you're on the ledge, boost from the right to the left wall, back and forth to get to the top, If you are going to fall try to catch yourself on the one below, or as a last resort hit the spikes.
2-5: D7 Trial and error. After you manage to land on the ledge without grabing the cake at the start it's pretty easy. Or you can boost into it from on top of the house.
2-6: D8 You can roll into the first two rotations then stop your momentum with the boost gun. you should fall onto a platform below with the hat.
2-7: D9 The top of this level has breakable blue blocks. Get to it by hitting the jump pad, getting the cake, rolling down the hill (or jumping) to rotate the world then stopping with the boost gun. Go down the left side but push right so you can hit the jump pad into the blue blocks after rolling. Boost upwards and you should hit the rotate block in mid air and end up standing on a blue block, walk to the right for your hat! This may not be the intended way so experiment a bit, but it works quite well. If you dont manage to make it up there but still break a few blocks, you can boost into the spiral with another rotate block, that will turn the level so you should be able to boost into the hole you made. Alternatively, you can break the blue blocks from rolling off of the top, landing, jumping into the spikes then boosting right to hit the jump pad at the start, from there you should hit the rotate block and boost yourself into the hole in the ceiling you made, and walking to the right for the hat. This one is tough, experiment a bit and don't give up :)
2-8: D10 From the beginning you can boost right into a spot with two rotation boxes, hit both then hit the third, walk up and grab the hat.

World 3:
3-3: E1 Land on the edges of the last yellow stuff pool before the exit and boost up. Be careful, if you miss you might hit the portal.
3-4: E2 Walk right into it as you progress through the level, just dont shoot the white blocks
3-5: E3 Another easy one, just go to the right side of the acid pool at the start of the kevel.
3-7: E4 Using carefully placed boost gun shots make yourself a path to the hat, if you block off the path to the exit just restart after getting it.

World 4:
4-1: F9 Above the house, jump from the platform on the right.
4-3: F4There is a gap on the left wall with the hat
4-6: F10 Visible in the wall at the start, jump in the gap on the right wall of the level, and follow it back.
4-9: F5 Boost into a hole in the roof just before the teleporter and walk left.

World 5:
5-1: E5 Hop down into the first pit, you can hong on the wall if you want.
5-3: E6 It's above the teleporter, you can get above it from the right side and jump to it.
5-6: E7 Above the teleporter to the top, this level can be easily beaten by jumping straight up, but be careful you dont miss the hat.

World 7:
7-2: E8 Just before the portal you can stand in a square block and boost over the wall.
7-4: E9 This room is a long line of spikes on the floor, there is a gap halfway into the level, fall into it for the hat.
7-5: E10 It's just above the spikes in the second pit.
7-7: F1 Push left after falling down the spike walled pit and grab it at the bottom.
7-8: F2 Get to the platform with the teleporter and jump to the top right corner of the room.
7-9: F3 Boost right to the wall then shotgun up to it.

Bonus World 8:
8-3: C7 Use the jump pad and boost above to reach the hat next to the billboard.
8-5: C9 Just jump on the jump pad and let it throw you into the hat.
8-6: C6 Jump in the gap in the ice on the right side of the level for the final hat.

Any tips for A4? Can't get high enough. I measure it? top point isn't high enough.

KänguruGuru [author] 2 Jan, 2022 @ 2:57pm

Run, jump and boost from the highest point on the platform below, you'll probably bump your head a few times but you'll get the timing eventually.

MineKnights 2 Jan, 2022 @ 10:32am

how do u boost through said gap I cant get high enough

KänguruGuru [author] 1 Jan, 2022 @ 7:05pm

The dino hat is in world two, the one found above the gap in the ceiling of the level. It looks like a raptor.

MineKnights 29 Dec, 2021 @ 11:22am

which one is dino hat

Neomixer 10 Aug, 2020 @ 5:08pm

I think I found the intended way of 2-7: D9!
Edit: I found a way older comment below mentioning it lol
I will try giving some extra details, but I am not the first one in this thread that found it.

There is a "hidden" turning block after the first row of spikes, you can access it if you somehow dodge the ground spikes (I was able to do that both fat and skinny, but it is unreliable), but that is not what you are expected to do!

You are supposed to use the trampoline and boost over the cake and the turning block above it!

Even after the screen turns, your momentum will make you grab the cake and you will be able to enter the "hidden" area without much trouble now!

From there, it is a literal cake walk!

I know this thread probably won't get updated, but this method is more reliable AND looks cooler

Neomixer 10 Aug, 2020 @ 5:06pm

And, yeah, 2-4 is a nightmare, I never ate the second cake on my normal playthrough, only while scavenging for hats, and with much effort and luck

Ken 5 May, 2019 @ 3:20pm

i have no idea how to get to the second piece of cake on 2-4 because i just use the first one and jump on the blue blocks

Haohmaru 1 May, 2016 @ 7:58am

Thanks buddy, finally got them all thanks to ya

. For anybody having difficulty with 2-7 D9, I found an easier way, Get the top rotating thing, then quickly push yourself to the left of the screen so you can get in that S area, get that rotate thing, now you can jump down (the sky wont kill you), then get the cake and pummel down for the hat.

How in the world do I get to the cake ledge in night world 2-4? (the fourth cake level)
