Where to Find the Special Bot in Cooling Springs in Astro’s Playroom
The first thing that you should do is open the map menu and fast travel to theBot Beach section of Cooling Springs. Upon arriving in the area, you will need to step on four different starfish scattered around the beach; however, it’s important that you step on them in the correct order.
The four images below will show the locations of the starfish:
Once you step on the last one, the trapped bot will appear in a cage and be dressed as a racer fromGran Turismo–you’ll also see an arrow showing a path on the cage. This is key to the next step of the puzzle.
Now, you want to head to the opposite side of the beach, where there are structures in the sand of the four face buttons of the PlayStation controller. Look inside the little nook behind the shapes to find a blue shell. Smack it to reveal asteering wheel.
Stand in front of the steering wheel and press the Options button to bring up the map screen. Now, you need to move the control stick, hovering over the stages in a particular route.
Starting at Bot Beach, go up to Hotel Hopalot, left to Frigid Floes, down to Springy Spa, down to Gusty Gateway, left to Bumper Broadway, down to Electrocloud, down to Network Speed Run, right to PlayStation Labo, up to Fastlane Fields, right to Turbo Trail, down to Orbital Obstacles, right to Deep Dataspace, up to Caching Caves, up to Renderforest, right to Mt. Motherboard, up to Raytrace Ruins, left to Teraflop Treetops, and then finally, end the path at Bot Beach.
If you do it correctly, the trapped bot will be freed from its cage,earning you the Grand Tourist trophy.
