PS4 / PS5
Switch between cups and challenges to unlock drivers before going for the full shop. The shop menu shows each character’s requirements; use it to choose who to race next. Save the toughest ghosts for when you have a kart and parts you can drive consistently.
Two native 28-trophy lists. The route can be completed offline.
- Online: No trophy requires online racing.
- Difficulty: Win all six cups at Lightning difficulty.
- Ghosts: For Hero’s Chi, challenge the ghost in all 20 Time Trials.
Open the shop and rotate the roster
Win an early cup and begin unlocking racers through challenges. Read the shop item condition before picking a driver: some parts need a Lightning Cup, other wins or a token. Repeat a short cup with a new driver when it can also advance your six distinct hosts.
- For In Harmony, keep the same cup and difficulty and check off each new host.
Clear the six challenge tiers
Work through the tiers to their final challenges, which also help fill out the roster. Tier 3, Challenge 2 gives you a shorter route to the Golden Dolphin in the Museum of Fine Arts: focus on collecting it within forty seconds and learn that stretch before making risky moves.
- Check individual challenge completion as well as the final driver unlock.
Take home the Lightning Cups
Choose a kart you handle well and race for points across all four events. Start with a familiar cup, then take on Viking Cup and the other five at Lightning Speed. Look for Magic Path switches along the circuit: hitting them in sequence reveals more of the path and gives you shortcut practice.
- Check the recorded cup result before switching drivers.
Challenge the ghost explicitly
Select the ghost in Time Trials and use the first lap to see where it gains on you. Repeat with the same setup until you have a consistent line; change a part only after identifying the problem. Track all twenty trials and keep going after the intermediate ten-ghost trophy.
- A Time Trial without the ghost selected is not the test you need.
Collect tokens and finish targeted hits
Collect Lucky Tokens from jumps and Magic Paths on early laps: rivals can grab them too. For hit-based item trophies, look for clustered drivers and aim a bomb at two nearby racers. Once cups and ghosts are complete, reopen the shop and work through each remaining unlock condition.
- Track twenty collectible tokens separately from total power-up hits.
