My favourite sounds though, can be found on the Gorilla Nebula’s third level, Construction Derby.
The little metallic clinking noise as Astro’s, umm…trotters (?)
The joy was utterly infectious.
Why yes, it would be my honour to jump up into your mouth, giant tree.
Thank you so much for asking!
The upbeat energy continues throughout this entire level, which has an almost carnival-like feel to it.
And was I also doing a giddy little dance from my sofa as I ascended?
You bet your bottom dollar I was!
And, was I still singing the song when I finally made my way to bed?
Now, just excuse me, I am off to groove my way through another level.

The Crash Site level
There’s a symbiotic relationship between Astro Bot and PlayStation 5.
And Astro Bot needs PlayStation, being so dependent on VIP cameos and nostalgia to provide personality.
But then there’s the Crash Site.
In fact, I think smacking bots is my favourite thing in this game.
Being able to explore the Crash Site further using the bots likePikminis a fun extra, too.
Cynic be damned, all this nostalgia had me giggling with glee!
A bullet sponge chucked in at the end of a level to round things off.
But in Astro Bot, the bosses are part of the level itself.
Boss fights in Astro aren’t hard, but they’re always fun.
It allows you to be as playful as you want to be at that moment.
Yes, dear reader, I can confirm - you might Turtle Surf!
Now don’t worry, the Turtle looked like they were enjoying it as much as Astro was.
That then got me thinking ‘what else can I do here?
How else can I play around in this environment?’
and, helpfully, that’s when I found the diving board.
Once I emerged from the depths, one more piece of potential fun caught my attention - Dolphins.
