IGTAP challenges players with secret upgrades hidden off the beaten path, rewarding thorough exploration with substantial power boosts and a coveted achievement. The thrill comes from venturing beyond the main course routes, uncovering areas that test your platforming skill and observation. With these upgrades increasing your Watts by 40% globally, tracking them down is worth the extra effort to become truly unstoppable.
Tracking these secret upgrades is best tackled after completing the main game. By then, you’ll likely have unlocked key abilities like two Omnidashes and the Double Jump, which open access to more difficult or hidden areas. These upgrades not only boost your power but also make the tricky traversal required far smoother.
IGTAP All Secret Upgrade Locations
You can bypass Course 1 and Course 8, as neither contains any secret upgrades. Focus your efforts on the other courses where the hidden items are located.
Course 2 Secret Upgrade
At the peak of Course 2, sprint all the way to the right until you reach a concealed platforming section. Completing this area rewards you with a valuable +40% Extra Watts [Global] upgrade.
This hidden upgrade gives a significant boost and can be easily missed if you stick to the main path or descend too early.
Course 3 Secret Upgrades
Course 3 contains three secret upgrades, each tucked away in clever locations that require careful exploration.
Upgrade 1:
Look beneath the large statue in Course 3 to find the first +40% Extra Watts [Global] upgrade hidden out of plain sight.
Upgrade 2:
From this statue area, continue down and veer right. Another +40% Extra Watts [Global] upgrade awaits in this less traveled part of the level.
Upgrade 3:
Later in Course 3, near the spike dash section, spot a darker set of spikes. This altered section lets you fall through, allowing a dash to the left to reach the final upgrade.
It’s easy to overlook this because the dark spikes blend with the environment; keep a keen eye out.
Course 4 Secret Upgrades
Course 4 features four secret upgrades that reward careful platforming and exploration.
Upgrade 1:
Explore left of the Course 4 teleporter to discover a +40% Extra Watts [Global] upgrade tucked away in this less obvious location.
Upgrade 2:
From the first upgrade, proceed further left and then climb up. Another upgrade awaits here — keep your vertical traversal skills sharp.
Upgrade 3:
Locate the Zip Mover in Course 4 and jump onto it. At the final moment, jump again while on the Zip Mover—this will catapult you upward and over spikes.
From there, scale the wall to reach yet another +40% Extra Watts [Global] upgrade.
Upgrade 4:
Move to the far left side of Course 4, climbing past spikes and vines. This area conceals the fourth upgrade on this course.
Patience and precise movement are key to grabbing all four upgrades here.
Course 5 Secret Upgrades
Course 5 offers three secret upgrades hidden behind clever use of the Zip Mover and careful navigation.
Upgrade 1:
At the start of Course 5, activate the Zip Mover. Drop through a hole behind it to land near a hidden +40% Extra Watts [Global] upgrade.
This requires precise timing to avoid falling too far or missing the upgrade.
Upgrade 2:
Near the top of Course 5, jump far to the left where some lights hint at a secret area. Entering from the top grants quick access, while coming from below demands passing a short platforming challenge.
A well-executed wave dash can ease your approach to the top entrance for this upgrade.
A wave dash can help reaching the top entrance easily.
This upgrade significantly boosts your resources and is well worth the effort.
Upgrade 3:
After the left jump section, continue along Course 5’s main path. The next +40% Extra Watts [Global] upgrade lies directly along this route, easy to miss if you don’t look closely.
Several players have overlooked this upgrade, so be thorough in this area.
Course 6 Secret Upgrade
At the top of Course 6, head left. The upgrade floats above the area, reachable by using a nearby metal platform to climb upward.
This vertical challenge can be tricky, so plan your jumps carefully.
Course 7 Secret Upgrade
In Course 7, activate the Zip Mover then dash downward to slip behind it. This leads to a small platforming challenge culminating in a +40% Extra Watts [Global] upgrade.
Precision timing is crucial to avoid falling and having to retry.
Course 9 Secret Upgrades
Course 9 contains two secret upgrades that require both vertical and horizontal traversal skills.
Upgrade 1:
Right at the start of Course 9, drop down then ascend upwards. Along this path lies a +40% Extra Watts [Global] upgrade waiting to be grabbed.
Upgrade 2:
Follow the path further down near the pit jump toward the Atom Collider. Execute a jump and upward dash to reach the second hidden upgrade.
For the second one, continue down that path until you are close to the jump over the pit leading toward the Atom Collider. Jump and dash upward to reach the upgrade.
Course 10 Secret Upgrade
The top-right region of Course 10 houses a secret upgrade tucked in a dark corner. Drop down from this nook to collect the +40% Extra Watts [Global] upgrade.
This spot is usually overlooked due to its subtle entrance.
Atom Collider Secret Upgrade
Inside the Atom Collider, search for a hole in the ceiling. Crawling through leads you to the final +40% Extra Watts [Global] upgrade needed for the achievement.
