Accessing the time trials

[Timmaah!]

Hey everybody,

This is probably going to sound like a VVVVVVeally dense question, and I can see myself being very red-faced when someone gives me a simple answer , but having now finished the game with all 20 trinkets (phew!) and made it into the secret lab (and sucked on the Super Gravitron), I figure I'd like to have a go at some of these much lauded time trials

Only question is, how do I start them? I've gone round all the menus about 20 times now - the in-game pause menus, as well as the title menus - and the only reference to time trials I can find is an option to unlock them (and they are all greyed out ). Did I miss something in the game?

Grey means it's unlocked.

Go to Play -> Play modes -> Time Trials, and you'll be competing with the fastest in no-time!

[Timmaah!]

Thanks, but when I press Play the game just starts. I don't have another menu after that

Oh, that's because you don't have a save... If you don't have a save game, pressing "play" just brings you right into the game. If you make a quick save right at the start you'll be able to get to the play mode menu.

Hmm. I should change that.

[Timmaah!]

Brilliant - that did the trick. Thank you!

I think I deleted my save when I started mucking around with different accessibility modes after I'd finished the game. Good to know I don't have to play all the way through again to get to the time trials and other fun things

[hooray]

I am also having trouble accessing time trials - I have completed the game with all 20 trinkets and got to the secret lab, but when I am in the time trial menu it says that I still need to rescue people and collect trinkets to unlock the last 3 time trials.

Very weird... I'll try and replicate this myself, that's an odd one.
