Check the game status before the checklist

Console server closure prevents resuming the video's route. Private Hosted Server Edition preserves a way to play on PC, but does not restore PS4 or PS5 trophies. This page archives requirements and past progress rather than inviting a new platinum attempt.

Experience, matches and team coordination

The original route combined 250,000 XP, 100 matches and wins with friends and Crew members. The 1,000 KOs, catches and assists were separate counters. Passing Prodigy required a win without throwing dodgeballs while allowing passes, making it a distinct coordination challenge.

Map-specific objectives

The final entries concerned Rooftop Rumble's bridge, Concussion Yard's wrecking ball, Knockout Roundabout's cars, Galaxy Burger's vents and Back Alley Brawl's pipes. Some needed a KO and others an environmental route. Original text is retained to distinguish them without suggesting they remain possible on console.

Source and scope

Editorial roadmap accompanying Guerranera's video, based on the author's published description and references and checked against the trophy archive. It is not a full transcript of the narration. Additional sources are listed under Additional references.
