254:, the player switches between playing as the Time Sweepers and the Tom Toms. Much of the core gameplay is retained from the first game for the Time Sweepers, with each Time Sweeper equipped with a vacuum that can collect debris, time crystals, and gold crystals. When shooting debris, the player can now lock onto enemies, a feature planned for the original game. The player no longer needs to collect the crystals in any order to receive a time control, but rather just collect three of a particular crystal. Some of these controls can also be combined, allowing the player to use certain effects with each other, such as speeding themselves up with the fast forward while slowing the world down at the same time. Each Time Sweeper level has multiple missions that the player can choose to do, although only one needs to be completed in order to progress. Meanwhile, the Tom Toms control much like a stealth game, with the player aiming to avoid Time Sweepers to collect loot at a location, and then return it to their initial location without being caught. In this mode, the player has several gadgets at their arsenal to control space, distract the Time Sweepers and to assist with their passage through the level, such as decoys and wormholes. They also have guns, which can be used to take out Time Sweepers at risk of attracting attention to themselves. If the player is caught as a Tom Tom, they must hide, as the Time Sweepers will otherwise quickly defeat them. The story mode can be played in both single-player and in co-operative, with a second player able to join the game. 275:
legendary Big Crystal upon discovering it. As a result, the Time Sweepers and the Tom Toms then fight past many time glitch monsters and with each other. Upon completing levels when playing as the Time Sweepers, a short cinematic plays of the mysterious Time Angel, who wants her crystal repaired. At the end of the game, the player's Time Sweepers join with a team which must go to a mysterious part of an alternate universe to defeat the Scissor Demon, a mission from which they cannot return. The team is easily defeated by the demon until a squad of Tom Toms, including the player's custom Tom Toms, arrive. The Tom Toms' leader gives the player's Time Sweeper the other half of the big crystal which enables the player to hurt the Demon. Once the Scissor Demon is defeated, it dissolves. The screen then fades to white, at which point the Angel thanks the Time Sweepers and the Tom-Toms for their efforts.
310:, something the developers constantly referenced while developing the sequel. They increased the movement of the Time Sweepers by 1.6 times, and added lock-on when shooting with the vacuum, something planned for the original game but not completed in time for release. The developers also added customisable characters and multiplayer, two things that were not present in the original game. The character of Blinx was redesigned to give him a more "grown-up" appearance, with Blinx's signature sweeper being redesigned to look more like a guitar due to a conversation about guitars between art designer Masamichi Harada and art director Noriko Omizo; the game's overall art style was changed to accommodate this and as a response to complaints the original game's levels were bland in design. 258:
characters at any time in the hub world for the respective team, with an in-depth set of sliders to scale various different aspects of the character, and various outfits, accessories, emblems, styles and colours to choose from. The player can use these characters in both the story mode and versus mode. Versus mode, a new addition to the game, pits the Tom Toms against the Time Sweepers, with up to four players able to join. The time and space controls from the main game are carried over but serve different functions here, such as the rewind control now turning the targeted character into an "infant state", making them smaller and weaker. The last team standing wins the match.

Directors Matsumoto and Ohshima aimed to create a game with many new features setting it apart from its predecessor; in an interview with Xbox Japan, Matsumoto joked that they had skipped from the second entry of the series to the third as a result of making so many changes. Oshima, in a developer diary for IGN, stated that the game was an answer to critics of the first game, with it doubling in scope from the original.

adjust this balance for the final game. The game was announced in June 2004, with a press announcement calling it "the world's first 5-D game", a play on the previous game's tagline, although this was dropped before release. The game went gold on 4 November of that same year, and released in North America a week and a half later.
