PS4 / PS5
Treat Sonic and Shadow as two routes. Sonic asks you to clear the classic acts, challenges and Chao. Shadow adds an explorable hub, keys and rocket parts. Finish both stories before committing to long cleanup passes; you will unlock powers, access and challenges that cut down on backtracking.
The 2024 collection has 41 trophies in each native PS4 and PS5 set. It covers both campaigns; 2011’s Sonic Generations on PS3 has a different platinum.
- Lists: 41 trophies in each PS4 and PS5 list.
- Structure: Two campaigns and two no-damage finales.
- Shadow collectibles: Act keys, White Space boxes and rocket parts.
Finish Sonic with both styles
Restore all nine gates by clearing both the Classic and Modern acts. Use the first pass to learn short routes and avoid risking an S-rank attempt before you know the obstacles. When going back for Big Bang, prioritise a clean finish and check the result for both versions of each stage.
- Check the S ranks in all eighteen Sonic campaign acts.
Clear Sonic’s challenges and rescue the Chao
Finish the Challenge Acts with both styles. Do not stop at the ones that grant boss keys. Collect red rings and rescue Chao in regular acts. After challenges, check the bells and museum rewards too, and track those collections separately from the skills you need to unlock.
- Mark cleared challenges and check the Chao summary.
Unlock powers and return for hard challenges
Advance Shadow’s story for the Doom powers. Some parts of White Space only become traversable later. Return to the Black Moon after the ending for the remaining challenges. Aim for S ranks in the main acts; completing the Challenge Acts is the separate platinum requirement.
- Check the challenge menu again after finishing Shadow’s story.
Open the boxes and deliver the parts
Look for music, art and history keys in Shadow’s acts. Use them on matching White Space boxes and revisit areas reached with the powers unlocked near the ending. Deliver the parts to Orbot and Cubot; merely collecting them does not finish the rocket trophy.
- Track opened boxes separately from the rocket delivery.
Prepare two no-hit finales
Revisit Time Eater and Shadow’s final boss after learning their cues. In no-damage attempts, slow down and watch attacks begin instead of chasing a fast time. If you take a hit, restart the fight to keep the attempt clean and check the trophy when the battle ends.
- Check Can’t Touch This and Untouchable separately.

Frequently asked questions
Is playing one campaign enough?
No. The set covers S ranks, challenges, collectibles and finales from both Sonic and Shadow.
Do I need the old PS3 leaderboard?
No. The 2024 collection has different requirements and does not ask for Ranking Attack.
Do I need the movie pack?
No. The 41 trophies in the covered lists belong to the two base-game campaigns.
