Where to find all Gorilla Nebula bot locations in Astro Bot

Astro Bot’s Gorilla Nebula boasts nine planets teeming with collectibles. Don’t worry, grabbing some of the bots will be a breeze, especially on the more minor planets that focus on quick and easy challenges. Here’s a brief overview of these particular destinations, including how to unlock them:

  • Rolling Star Sola: Hit the shooting star-like robot on the Gorilla Nebula’s left side (spawns sometime after Az-Tech Trail) to unlock this planet.
  • Retro Rampage 1: A circle of asteroids appears on Gorilla Nebula’s left side. Hit each one quickly using the ship’s boosters.
  • Mighty Chewy: Unlock this planet with 20 Astro Bots and eliminate the gorilla boss.
  • Apes on the Loose: Use the Monkey Radar to spot monkeys easily.
  • Crumble Rumble 1: Hit another asteroid that spawns after Apes on the Loose.

Hidden planets like Rolling Star Sola and Crumble Rumble 1 will reveal themselves after you’ve hit an asteroid or shooting star. They’ll spawn after completing one of the main planets, so make sure to finish them first. You can also use the Monkey Radar while on Apes on the Loose to pinpoint the Astro Bots’ exact locations. The only challenge you may face here is the ape on the floating saucer, where you’ll need to use dynamite to shoot it down.

Now that we’ve covered most of the smaller planets, we’ll break down the rest of them to obtain all Astro Bots in Gorilla Nebula.
