Dive into the vibrant world of Astro Bot, where adventure awaits around every corner! Beyond the main game's numerous worlds lies a hidden secret: the Lost Galaxy. This enigmatic region holds ten additional levels, each accessible only through cleverly concealed portals scattered throughout the game's regular stages. Spotting these portals requires a keen eye and a willingness to explore every nook and cranny.
Each level with a hidden portal features a distinctive swirly icon on its selection screen. This serves as a handy clue, though the portals themselves are often well-hidden, sometimes appearing early in a level, other times near the end. Need a little help finding them? This guide will lead you to each one.
Hidden Portal Locations in Astro Bot's Lost Galaxy
Hidden Portal #1: Az-Tech Trail

Midway through the level, you'll encounter a dark room with a wall flanked by four lit torches. Use the Twin-Frog Gloves to extinguish all four flames. The wall will then open, revealing the portal.
Hidden Portal #2: Creamy Canyon

Early in the level, you'll find a snowy arena with a bouncing ladybug enemy. Proceed past it to a charging pig. Grab the pig, swing it, and aim towards the icy statue at the platform's edge. Release the pig to shatter the statue. Backtrack, flip over the ladybug, bounce to the upper platform, and perform a charged spin attack to uncover a hidden room containing the portal.
Hidden Portal #3: Go-Go Archipelago

After defeating Captain Pincher, look for his claw embedded in the ground. A glowing light indicates a spot for a charged spin attack. Drill into the ground to reveal a secret room with treasure and the portal.

Towards the level's end, you'll find a bubble-blowing frog. Blow into your controller to activate the bubbles. Shrink down, ride a bubble, and transfer to another before it pops to reach a branch above a bot. From there, navigate to the opposite branch to find the portal.

At the level's end, turn right to an area with falling jewels. A bounce pad leads to a hidden area with the portal. Activate a trap, then locate two hidden switches to open the path.
Hidden Portal #8: Balloon Breeze

This is the most challenging portal. Obtain the pufferfish power-up and backtrack to an early area with a distant platform and a bouncing ladybug. Flip the ladybug towards the platform, bounce on it, activate the pufferfish, and use Astro's hover to reach the platform. Use motion controls to cut bamboo and reveal the portal, activating it by circling its perimeter.
Hidden Portal #9: Djinny of the Lamp

After defeating Djinny, climb the ruins. Glowing ground indicates invisible platforms. Hover to each platform, using the glowing concrete slabs as guides. Reach the elevated platform, unfurl the rug, and ride it to another platform containing the portal.
