Missions is a term in A Hat in Time that includes all of the individual Acts and Time Rifts within the game. Listed alongside each is any content or motif that is unique to the mission itself and any mandatory tasks for its completion.
Alpine Skyline is unique from every other level because it has no true Acts. Instead, it's an open world level where Hat Kid must organically find the 5 Time Pieces scattered around the map.
In the place of Acts are Mountain Peaks that serve as waypoints once approached for the first time.
In order to travel around Alpine Skyline, Hat Kid must have the Hookshot Badge.
