General advice and analysis of the hint system
There are many hint, which make easier to track that golden tapes.
  • When you start level you should focus on collect first half of all available on level golden tapes (100), to do that you will only have particles that float above them as a clue. That shouldn't be too hard. Is good to methodically search the level.

  • When you collect first half you will get another hint to find the rest. From now you will hear a growing shimmering sound when you are nearby to a Golden Tape. It will help you to gain confidence that you found all golden tape on tarene that you searched. After searching rest of the map go back to teren where you have only particles as a clue and listen carefully if you missed something.

  • If you carefully searched a whole level but still miss few golden tapes, third and last help implemented into game is "Bounce" (redbox) speak to him and he will show you the location of golden tape. Frame that he show may not be very helpful, so before you speak to him make sure to raise FOV in menu from 90 to 130/140 (higher is unreadable) and make sure to dismiss camera behind your hero maximally ("Y" on gamepad). Now frame will show much more and it will be easier to located a tape.

  • For example: Second level is quite extensive and despite using these tips i had problem with localization that tape:
    Finally after 10 minutes i found It on that island with the town, in the cave in the tunnel.
Two last golden tape in hub world which is difficult to get.
There are 2 golden tapes high on the top of two balloon and I have not found a proper way to get to them. But there is a glitch that could help in this situation. I create a video which presents how to get that two last golden tapes.

I'm very late to this discussion but i got the golden tapes on the balloons by using the fireworks giving post to launch myself closer to the balloons, and then timing my unboxes so that i barely reach the balloon. It is definitely a lot harder but its fun.

I got those last two tapes on balloons by climbing up the tower next to the entrance to Isla Cartulina (the one with a mailbox on top of it) and then easily jumping all the way to the balloons - they should be roughly on the same level as the top of the tower.

I think that method to get the two tapes on the balloons might actually be the proper way to do it.

Thanks for the hint system - i had noticed the two hints, but didn't realise Bounce also heped out. I'm missing about 15-20 each on the hub world and the first two main worlds (havent played the last world yet) so hopefully this will help me out :)

Sometimes (idk under which conditions) the camera won't move back to Newbie when showing where the tape is.
After you clicked "Cancel" twice and ended the conversation with Bounce, the camera will quickly move back to Newbie.
You can abuse this to get a vague idea of the location of the collectible.
