How would I go about initializing an actor in a world without using "new"?

I'm creating a FNAF minigame where the player (PurpleGuy/purple) has to find his Springtrap suit (IdleSpring/spring). The suit is in a different world than the player initially. Once PurpleGuy makes his way to the room and changes to the suit, it does not carry over into the other worlds; however, I change the worlds whenever the purple guy is in a certain X or Y location in them: 
public void act()
    {
        
        
        
        
        if(purple.getX() > 983)
        {
            Greenfoot.setWorld(fan);
            
        }
        else if(purple.getY() < 40)
        {
            Greenfoot.setWorld(suit);
        }
    }
for instance above, where in my world "Turn" (it's just a corner) if he's at the top he goes into the suit up room, or if he's on the right he goes to the fan room. How would I go about "carrying" PurpleGuy's information over between worlds. Sorry if this is confusing how I word it. Also shoutout to danpost for helping me on my last two (the only one's I've made) posts!

You could pass the object itself into the new world. You have a reference to the world (fan or suit) and you have a reference to the player (this). You can use this information to “move” the object to the other world.

Just add the guy when setting the world. For example, line 10 could be: 
fan.addObject(purple, 100, 100); // or wherever

I used this method, but I have 5 worlds, so it appears to only work in the world in the "center" and the two adjacent worlds. Am I doing this wrong?

Wouldn't I have to initialize each world and object like: 
FanRoom fan = new FanRoom();

//or in the case of purple guy

PurpleGuy purple = new PurpleGuy();
Or am I understanding this incorrectly?

You do not have to initialize the player again (only initialized in the starting world). That is, your line 5 is not needed to put a player in a different world. The line I provide previously will move the player from one world to the next. The new world does not have to create another instance of a PurpleGuy object. If it would make things easier, you could add a method to the different worlds to help move the player into each world: 
public void addPurpleGuy(PurpleGuy purpleGuy)
{
    purple = purpleGuy; // saving a reference to the player in this world
    addObject(purple, 100, 100); // or wherever
}
Then, instead of the line I gave previously, you would use: 
fan.addPurpleGuy(purple);
Out of curiosity, what class does your FanRoom class extend?
