PS4 / PS5
RePOP changes several requirements from the PS3 original. Hard story mode is for the wrappers; Time Attack has its own completion and exclusive enemy; Dad’s times are beaten through normal stage select. Keep the three goals separate to avoid repeating a stage in the wrong mode.
Three separate goals: classmates and wrappers in story, the Time Attack exclusive zombie, and Dad’s times in normal stages.
- Difficulty: Hard for all wrappers; Time Attack can be cleared on Normal.
- Missables: Recoverable through stage replay.
- Online: No online leaderboard trophy required.
Play the story on Hard
Pick up the golden wrappers as soon as you spot them: some locations are empty on lower difficulties. Visit Chop2Shop.Zom between areas to upgrade health and moves. In a rescue encounter, focus first on zombies closest to the classmate and use area attacks to keep them from being overwhelmed.
- Check the difficulty before hunting for wrappers.
Rescue the classmates and view the good ending
Check every stage for classmates, including the prologue, and replay any stage with a failed rescue. Once everyone is safe, defeat Killabilly and watch the good ending. For the other ending, return to Stage 6 in story mode: if offered the good ending again, decline it. Do not use Time Attack for this cleanup.
- Check that both ending trophies are unlocked.
Clear Time Attack and look for Jack
Use Normal for Time Attack if you want to focus on survival. A knockout restarts the stage rather than returning you to a checkpoint, so plan your use of lollipops accordingly. In Stage 6 find Jack, album entry 32, exclusive to this mode. Then check the list of 35 unique zombies: some enemies only appear on later visits.
- Finish Time Attack and check Jack’s album entry.
Beat all seven Dad times in normal stages
Open stages from normal stage select on a comfortable difficulty and focus on the clear time. Start with the prologue, under 11:04, and check for the trophy after each result. Skip wrappers and detours you have already completed. Time Attack records do not replace these seven runs.
- Check off the prologue and Stages 1 through 6.
Finish the album, shop and boss actions
If you are missing music or moves, revisit Chop2Shop.Zom at the beginning of a stage. Track boss actions separately: Vikke has the ship-edge sequence, Mariska needs the balloons dodged, and Killabilly needs his fingers cut. Replay targeted stages for actions and medals instead of repeating the whole story for one trophy.
- Compare the RePOP list with the trophies that are still locked.

Frequently asked questions
Can I get the platinum on PS4?
Yes. RePOP arrived first on PS5 on September 12, 2024 in Europe, then on PS4 on December 2. Check the list for the version you launch.
Do Dad’s times count in Time Attack?
No. Use normal stages for the Dad time trophies, and Time Attack for its own trophy and exclusive enemy.
Do I need online scores to buy the music?
No. In RePOP, check the shop for new music as you advance through the stages; do not apply the PS3 game’s score requirements here.
