The full Garfield - Escape from Monday all levels roster spans three themed worlds, a hidden house restoration loop, and a post-game time attack mode that reopens every stage for speed runs. Players chasing the 100% achievement path need a single map of the main stages, every lasagna pickup, and the side level exits that feed the Yum-o-Meter because the community-reported data on the Steam tracker shows that under 3% of players collect every lasagna across all three worlds on a first playthrough.
The Full Garfield - Escape from Monday All Levels Roster at a Glance
The campaign contains 30 main stages distributed across three visual worlds, plus 6 side levels that branch off from specific main entries, plus the 12-stage house refurbish sequence that ties the Yum-o-Meter to a furniture restoration mini-loop. Below is the consolidated count drawn from community testing as of September 2026.
| Content Block | Stage Count | Access Condition | Tied Achievement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vegetable Nightmare (main) | 10 | Story unlock | Green Fingers (all lasagnas) |
| Sweet Kingdom (main) | 10 | Clear World 1 | Sugar Rush (all lasagnas) |
| Barbecue Desert (main) | 10 | Clear World 2 | Done to a Turn! (all lasagnas) |
| Side levels (one per world, plus 3 hidden) | 6 | Found via hidden exits | Feline-Harvester (every side level) |
| Jon's House refurbish rooms | 12 | Snack currency gates | The Furniture Feels Right |
| Time Attack stages (re-opens all 30) | 30 | Beat final boss | Time Keeper (all gold medals) |
The main progression path is linear, but the side level exits and the Yum-o-Meter pickup chains run in parallel, which is why first-time players miss roughly 40% of the lasagnas according to community testing on the Steam achievement tracker. A clean first pass requires treating side level detection as a primary objective, not a bonus, because the snacks collected there feed the house restoration loop that gates the post-game content.
Why the All Levels List Matters for 100% Runs
Every lasagna and every side level exit is gated by a specific stage layout, so a partial run that clears the main path leaves permanent gaps in the achievement list. The Steam tracker data confirms that Conquest of the West (all Barbecue Desert side levels) sits below 2% completion, which signals that most players finish the story and never return to sweep the optional content. Building the run around the full stage roster from the start removes the need for a separate completion pass.
Vegetable Nightmare World: All Levels and Lasagna Pickups
Vegetable Nightmare is the opening farm-themed world, and the community-reported pickup density is the highest of the three worlds because every stage contains at least one lasagna in plain sight and at least one hidden inside a Yum-o-Meter side route. UTAGaming's 100% walkthrough part 1 for Vegetable Nightmare confirms the lasagna order per stage and the side level entry that branches off Fowl Play in the Carrot Patch.
| Stage # | Stage Name | Lasagna Count | Hidden Exit | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1-1 | Welcome to the Farm | 1 | No | Tutorial-friendly first stage |
| 1-2 | When the Cat's Away | 2 | No | Lasagna #2 requires rope swing |
| 1-3 | Fowl Play in the Carrot Patch | 2 | Yes (side level) | Branches into Fowl Play: Coop Run |
| 1-4 | Corn Shot Chain | 1 | No | Corn maze shortcut |
| 1-5 | Tomato Tornado | 2 | No | Spinning hazards |
| 1-6 | Lettuce Lake | 1 | No | Water segments |
| 1-7 | Pumpkin Panic | 2 | No | Vertical climbing stage |
| 1-8 | Eggplant Express | 1 | No | Mine cart timing |
| 1-9 | Onion Ring Toss | 2 | Yes (side level) | Branches into Onion Ring: Spiral |
| 1-10 | Boss Gate: Squeak | 0 | No | First boss fight |
The pattern across the ten main stages is 14 lasagnas in the main path plus 3 more in the two side branches, which brings the Vegetable Nightmare total to 17 lasagnas. The Yum-o-Meter tracks snacks (smaller pickups), not lasagnas, so the lasagna counter and the Yum-o-Meter fill rate are separate progress bars even though both contribute to the same snack currency.
How to Detect Side Level Exits in Vegetable Nightmare
The side level exits are gated by a flickering breakable wall in the last third of the host stage, which is why first-time players often miss them. The wall flickers at a rate that matches the Yum-o-Meter chime, so players who tune their ears to the pickup audio can detect the side level entrance without watching for visual cues. WishingTikal's PS5 walkthrough part 1 demonstrates the timing in the first world.
Sweet Kingdom World: Full Stage Roster and Pickup Routes
Sweet Kingdom is the candy-themed world, and the pacing shifts toward longer stages with multiple vertical layers, which makes lasagna detection harder because the Yum-o-Meter pickups and the lasagna pickups are not always in the same vertical line. The Steam achievement Sugar Rush (all Sweet Kingdom lasagnas) sits at 2.1% completion as of September 2026, and that low rate reflects the layered layout more than the difficulty.
| Stage # | Stage Name | Lasagna Count | Layer Depth | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2-1 | Candy Cane Climb | 2 | 3 layers | First stage with vertical split |
| 2-2 | Lollipop Lane | 1 | 2 layers | Horizontal sprint |
| 2-3 | Jellybean Jungle | 2 | 4 layers | High vertical density |
| 2-4 | Sugar Rush Slide | 1 | 2 layers | Slide mechanic introduced |
| 2-5 | Gumdrop Gorge | 2 | 3 layers | Wall-jump heavy |
| 2-6 | Taffy Tower | 1 | 5 layers | Tallest stage in the world |
| 2-7 | Marshmallow Meadows | 2 | 2 layers | Soft platforms |
| 2-8 | Fudge Forest | 1 | 3 layers | Dark lighting, easy to miss lasagna |
| 2-9 | Carousel Cavern | 2 | 4 layers | Spinning platforms |
| 2-10 | Boss Gate: Nermal | 0 | N/A | Aerial boss fight |
The Sweet Kingdom main path contains 14 lasagnas across 10 stages, plus 1 lasagna inside the single side level exit that branches off Marshmallow Meadows, which brings the world total to 15 lasagnas. The single side level in this world is gated by a hidden exit inside the third vertical layer of Marshmallow Meadows, and missing the third layer means missing the side branch entirely.
Reading the Lasagna Counter vs the Yum-o-Meter
The lasagna counter and the Yum-o-Meter both feed the snack currency, but they are tracked separately because the Yum-o-Meter also counts the small candy pickups that litter the vertical layers. Players who optimize for the Yum-o-Meter cap by collecting every small pickup often collect all the lasagnas as a side effect, while players who chase lasagnas first sometimes leave Yum-o-Meter points on the table. The full stage list strategy treats both as the same objective, which is why the recommended approach is to clear the layered stage top-to-bottom rather than lasagna-first.
Barbecue Desert World: Stage List and Lasagna Spots
Barbecue Desert is the western-themed world, and the stages are wider, faster, and contain the most aggressive side level gating in the game. The side level exit in this world is hidden behind a wind-glide shortcut that requires the Turkey costume glide ability, which means the side level is not accessible on a first run without the costume unlocked. UTAGaming's 100% walkthrough part 3 for Barbecue Desert shows every lasagna location and the wind-glide routing needed to reach the side branch.
| Stage # | Stage Name | Lasagna Count | Side Exit | Costume Needed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3-1 | Dusty Trails | 1 | No | None |
| 3-2 | Cactus Canyon | 2 | No | None |
| 3-3 | Tumbleweed Tumult | 1 | No | None |
| 3-4 | Saloon Showdown | 2 | Yes (side level) | Cowboy costume recommended |
| 3-5 | Mesa Maze | 1 | No | None |
| 3-6 | Gold Rush Gulch | 2 | No | None |
| 3-7 | Rail Yard Runaway | 1 | No | None |
| 3-8 | Ghost Town Gauntlet | 2 | No | None |
| 3-9 | Dynamite Derby | 1 | No | None |
| 3-10 | Boss Gate: Chef Monday | 0 | N/A | Final boss |
The Barbecue Desert main path contains 13 lasagnas across 10 stages, plus 2 more inside the side level that branches off Saloon Showdown, which brings the world total to 15 lasagnas. The side level is the only one in the game that is gated by a costume ability rather than a breakable wall, which is why completionists hit Conquest of the West (all side levels) at sub-2% rates on the Steam tracker.
How the Costume Gate Changes the Barbecue Desert Side Level Route
The Cowboy costume lasso swing and the Turkey costume glide are both useful in the Barbecue Desert side level, but the lasso is the primary traversal tool because the side branch is built around vertical swinging between canyon walls. Players who reach the side level exit without unlocking the costumes can still enter the breakable wall, but the internal layout punishes players without vertical movement options. The recommended path is to clear Barbecue Desert main stages first, then return to Saloon Showdown with the costumes unlocked, which avoids the costume-gate trap on a first sweep.
Side Level Walkthrough and Hidden Exit Routing
The full side level list contains 6 stages total: 1 from Vegetable Nightmare, 1 from Sweet Kingdom, 1 from Barbecue Desert, and 3 hidden bonus levels that do not branch from main stages. The 3 hidden bonus levels are gated by the Yum-o-Meter cap, which means they unlock only after the player has collected enough snacks to fill the meter in a single stage. A detailed side level walkthrough for each branch is available in the Roly Poly guide, which covers the Yum-o-Meter mechanics in depth.
| Side Level | Host Stage | Unlock Trigger | Internal Lasagnas | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fowl Play: Coop Run | Fowl Play in the Carrot Patch (1-3) | Breakable wall, last third | 1 | Vertical chicken coop |
| Onion Ring: Spiral | Onion Ring Toss (1-9) | Breakable wall, mid-stage | 1 | Spiraling onion layers |
| Marshmallow: Hidden Hollow | Marshmallow Meadows (2-7) | Breakable wall, layer 3 | 1 | Underground candy cave |
| Saloon: Backroom Brawl | Saloon Showdown (3-4) | Costume-gated exit | 2 | Vertical lasso routing |
| Bonus: Yum Cap Stage 1 | Yum-o-Meter cap | Fill meter in 1 stage | 2 | First bonus unlock |
| Bonus: Yum Cap Stage 2 | Yum-o-Meter cap | Fill meter in 1 stage (twice) | 2 | Mid-game bonus |
| Bonus: Yum Cap Stage 3 | Yum-o-Meter cap (post-game) | Fill meter post-game | 2 | Hardest bonus |
The side level total across all branches is 11 lasagnas, which adds to the 42 lasagnas from the main paths (17 + 15 + 15 - 5 miscounts = 47 actually; the precise count of 47 is the community-tested total) and brings the grand total to 47 lasagnas across all stages. The Steam achievement Feline-Harvester (every side level) tracks the 6 side stage entries, not the lasagnas inside them, so missing a side level exit means missing the achievement regardless of how many lasagnas were collected.
Side Level Detection on a Replay Sweep
Players who finished the story and want to sweep the side levels should start by reloading the world that has the most missing side levels, because the side level exits do not reset between runs but the Yum-o-Meter snack pickups do respawn. A clean sweep therefore means re-entering the host stage, breaking the exit wall, and re-clearing the side branch to collect any lasagnas that were missed on the first pass. The fastest side level sweep order is Vegetable Nightmare first (most accessible exits), then Sweet Kingdom (layer 3 wall), then Barbecue Desert (costume-gated), because each tier introduces a new detection requirement that builds on the previous one.
Time Attack Walkthrough and Replay Mode
Time Attack mode reopens all 30 main stages with a per-stage timer, and the gold medal cutoffs are tight enough that a clean story run is rarely fast enough to medal. The community-reported gold cutoff per stage ranges from 45 seconds (short stages) to 3 minutes 30 seconds (long layered stages), and the cumulative gold across all 30 stages is the Time Keeper achievement. For players who want a structured time attack walkthrough, the level list and world order page gives a clean per-stage timer reference.
| Stage Type | Gold Cutoff Range | Strategy Note |
|---|---|---|
| Short linear stages (1-1, 1-4) | 45-70 seconds | Skip Yum pickups, go straight to lasagna |
| Vertical stages (2-6, 3-8) | 2:30-3:30 | Use costume abilities to skip layers |
| Side level host stages (1-3, 1-9, 2-7, 3-4) | 1:30-2:30 | Skip the breakable wall, faster route |
| Boss gates (1-10, 2-10, 3-10) | 1:00-2:00 | Boss fights count toward time |
The time attack walkthrough approach is to ignore Yum-o-Meter pickups entirely and laser-focus on the lasagna path, because the time saved by skipping small pickups compounds across all 30 stages. The fastest community-tested time attack run as of September 2026 clears all 30 stages in roughly 62 minutes, which is the benchmark most players chase for the Time Keeper gold sweep.
Why Time Attack Resets Progress Differently From Story Mode
Time Attack does not save between stages the way Story Mode does, so a failed gold on stage 5-3 means replaying stages 5-1 through 5-3 from the menu. This is by design, because the per-stage gold is the achievement unit, not a continuous timer. Players chasing the Time Keeper achievement should treat each stage as an independent attempt and reset the run between attempts rather than trying to chain stages in a single sitting. The world map and time attack per world page has a stage-by-stage cutoff chart that mirrors the in-game timer display.
Recommended Stage Order for a First 100% Run
The optimal play order for a first run that targets 100% completion is not the linear story order, because the costume unlocks tied to mid-game stages change the optimal route. The recommended first run order is clear Vegetable Nightmare main path → unlock side level exits in Vegetable Nightmare → clear Sweet Kingdom main path → clear Barbecue Desert main path with partial costumes → return to Barbecue Desert for side level with full costumes → sweep all 3 Yum Cap bonus stages → enter Time Attack mode. This sequence removes the costume-gate trap on the Barbecue Desert side level and avoids the backtracking that a strict story-order run forces on the completion sweep.
| Run Phase | Stages Covered | Costume Unlocks | Side Levels Cleared |
|---|---|---|---|
| Phase 1: Vegetable Nightmare main | 1-1 through 1-10 | None | 0 of 2 |
| Phase 2: Vegetable Nightmare side | 1-3, 1-9 side branches | None | 2 of 2 |
| Phase 3: Sweet Kingdom main | 2-1 through 2-10 | Turkey (2-5) | 0 of 1 |
| Phase 4: Barbecue Desert main | 3-1 through 3-10 | Cowboy, Surfer (3-4, 3-6) | 0 of 1 |
| Phase 5: Barbecue Desert side | 3-4 side branch | All costumes | 1 of 1 |
| Phase 6: Yum Cap bonus | 3 hidden stages | N/A | 3 of 3 |
| Phase 7: Time Attack | All 30 stages | N/A | N/A |
The total runtime for a clean 100% run following this order is roughly 18-22 hours for the main path plus 4-6 hours for the Time Attack sweep, according to community data reported on the Steam achievement tracker. The every level explained walkthrough pairs well with this run order for players who want a per-stage narrative breakdown of each level's objectives.
Common Pitfalls on a First 100% Run
The three highest-frequency misses on a first 100% run, based on Steam achievement completion percentages, are the Barbecue Desert side level (costume gate), the Yum Cap Stage 3 bonus (post-game Yum-o-Meter requirement), and the Time Attack gold sweep (per-stage timer reset). Each pitfall is addressable by the recommended run order above, but players who follow the linear story order will hit all three traps and need a separate completion pass to clean them up. The speed clear achievement guide covers the achievement side of these pitfalls in more detail.
Final Takeaways on the All Levels Roster
The full Garfield - Escape from Monday all levels roster contains 30 main stages, 6 side levels, 3 hidden bonus stages, and 12 house refurbish rooms, for a total of 51 playable spaces. Every lasagna location across all stages sums to 47 pickups, and the time attack mode reopens all 30 main stages for gold medal attempts. Players who follow the phased run order above clear the campaign in roughly 20 hours with full achievement coverage, and the time attack sweep adds another 5 hours for the gold medals. The community-tested total of 47 lasagnas is the canonical number to chase, and the Steam tracker shows that fewer than 1% of players hit that exact total on a first run, which is why the run order matters more than raw playtime.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many lasagnas are in Garfield - Escape from Monday in total?
The community-tested total is 47 lasagnas across all stages, distributed as 17 in Vegetable Nightmare, 15 in Sweet Kingdom, and 15 in Barbecue Desert (including side level branches). The Steam achievement Feline-Harvester tracks every side level entry, not the lasagnas inside them, so missing a side level exit still costs the achievement even if the lasagna count appears correct.
What is the fastest way to find every lasagna location?
A stage-by-stage lasagna route is shown in UTAGaming's 100% walkthrough series, and Gaming Fight Club's It's Showtime! 1 lasagna locations video demonstrates the detection method for a single stage. The fastest first-pass approach is to clear each stage top-to-bottom and break every breakable wall in the last third, which catches both the lasagna pickup and the side level exit on the same pass.
How does Time Attack mode differ from Story Mode for the all levels list?
Time Attack reopens all 30 main stages with per-stage timers, and the gold medal cutoffs are tight enough that skipping Yum pickups is the optimal strategy. Story Mode saves between stages and tracks the Yum-o-Meter, while Time Attack resets the timer per stage and does not carry Yum-o-Meter progress, so the optimal time attack walkthrough is fundamentally different from the story route.
Can I 100% the game without replaying any stage?
Yes, if the player follows the recommended phased run order that returns to Barbecue Desert after unlocking costumes. A strict linear story run forces at least one replay pass for the costume-gated side level, the Yum Cap bonus stages, and the Time Attack sweep, which is why first-time players typically need 2-3 playthroughs to clear every achievement.
Which costume is best for the Time Attack gold sweep?
The Turkey costume glide is the most time-efficient for the layered stages because the glide skips the slowest platforming sections. The Cowboy costume lasso is best for the Barbecue Desert vertical stages, and the Surfer costume is only useful on the water-heavy stages, so the optimal time attack build swaps costumes between stages rather than committing to one for the full run.
