PS4 / PS5
Sonic Superstars’ trophy route does not end at the first credits. Trip’s story and the true boss are further steps, while Chaos Emeralds influence access. Also track different character abilities during progression; using one protagonist throughout leaves avoidable cleanup. Gold enemies need a per-stage check rather than merely many kills. Organise these categories separately and attempt no-damage challenges once familiar with the scenario’s rhythm.
PS4 and PS5 base game. Buddy Bond can be completed through local co-op.
- Required difficulty: No selectable difficulty requirement, but Trip’s story and the true boss are required.
- Missable trophies: Stages can be replayed; gold enemies need attention to stage completion.
- Online: No mandatory online trophy; local co-op is available.
Collect Emeralds before the second story
During the campaign, enter bonus rings and work on Chaos Emeralds. Leaving them until after Trip’s story can make the second route less prepared. Also check use of unlocked powers; acquiring an Emerald and using its ability are different checklist moments.
- Check acquired Emeralds and used powers.
Complete Trip using her abilities
After the first story, tackle Trip’s route while learning her double jump and surface interaction. Use ordinary encounters to advance ability kills rather than always bypass them transformed or use attacks that do not count. Treat bosses as encounters to learn; the first ending does not replace them.
- Advance the double-jump condition during Trip’s story.
Prepare the true boss
For the additional conclusion, verify both Trip’s story and the Emeralds. During the fight, monitor rings and action costs rather than spend resources simply to accelerate an already safe section. If the mode is absent, recheck prerequisites instead of randomly repeating the final act.
- Check prerequisites before looking for Last Story.
Record gold enemies by stage
For each stage, record its gold enemy and complete the route needed to preserve progress. Killing the target and immediately leaving is not reliable progress recording. Keep this list separate from total enemies; a large overall counter does not identify one missing gold target.
- Finish the stage after its gold enemy and verify the record.
Rotate characters during cleanup
Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy and Trip have move-specific requirements. Choose a stage with suitable targets and confirm kills use the required technique. For Buddy Bond, prepare a local session with another participant; for Zap Scrap, separate the no-damage attempt from ordinary Frozen Base completion.
- Check all five character abilities before final grinding.

Frequently asked questions
Is the first ending enough?
No. Trip’s story and the true-boss conclusion are also required, alongside collections and specific actions.

No. Local co-op allows the condition to be tackled with another participant.
Can I leave immediately after killing a gold enemy?
For reliable recording, finish the stage and verify progress rather than treat the kill alone as a guaranteed save.
