CATO: Buttered Cat: PS5 platinum guide

CATO: Buttered Cat

PS5

Cat and toast solve different problems: separate them to hold switches and combine them when you need to rise. Finishing world five is only part of the CATO: Buttered Cat platinum. Check the map for hidden-room symbols, visit Swappy and set aside separate attempts for the W01-L04 and W05-L25 detours.

Roadmap for the 23 PS5 trophies. Track the main worlds, side quests and hidden rooms separately.

  • Required difficulty: No difficulty setting is required; puzzle hints are available.
  • Missable trophies: Check the map’s hidden-room icons and revisit stages with unfinished objectives.
  • Online: No online trophies.

Learn when to separate cat and toast

In early levels, try cat and toast separately before combining for takeoff. Use each for the platforms or switches it can handle, then reform CATO when their routes meet. If a puzzle stops you, the in-game hint shows useful positions for both characters; compare them with the last switch you left unoccupied.

  • Clear the early levels through the first toaster and combined takeoff.

Clear world bosses and coaster stages

Advance from W01 through W05. For More Than Puzzles?! and Try Again!, enter the W01 and W04 coasters; if a clear does not unlock the trophy, replay it while collecting every star on the route. Cans, Furnace and Chip instead follow the bosses of worlds 2, 3 and 5. In the fifth world check the two midway milestones too.

  • Check the two coasters separately from the three required bosses.

Use the map to find rooms and skins

Look for map icons that mark stages with hidden rooms and take their detours before leaving the world. In W04-L21, check the upper-right mechanism that opens the door. After your first skin, return to the hideout to equip it. Keep doing Swappy’s side quests and check Treasure when you find the GMTK room, which has its own trophy.

  • Check Back To Work and You Rock! separately after the detours.

Find the special W01-L04 passage

How Did You Get in?! points to an unusual entrance inside the game. Return to W01-L04 and follow the illustrated room route: near the passage edge, eject toast so it sticks to the wall. Check that you actually enter the room rather than just reaching its opening with toast.

  • Confirm How Did You Get in?! before leaving W01-L04.

Open the creator’s room in W05-L25

In W05-L25, put the clone on the toast switch and lead Shatow toward the cat switch. Move toast through the gravity field so it lands near Shatow. Once the mechanism is solved, pick up the clone and backtrack to the start; fly into the passage there to reach the creator’s room.

  • Backtrack after solving the mechanism rather than taking the normal exit immediately.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a second player?

No. You can control cat and toast yourself. Local co-op is optional, not a trophy requirement.

Do the launch bonus skins replace the hidden rooms?

Commemorative skins are available from the start, but the platinum still includes collection and side-quest goals. Use the map icons to find rooms to visit.

Are YU4YANG2 and Treasure the same secret?

No. YU4YANG2 is the creator’s room in W05-L25; Treasure is the GMTK room. Check both entries.
