LocoRoco Midnight Carnival: PS4 and PS5 Platinum Trophy Guide

LocoRoco Midnight Carnival

PS4 / PS5

The individual trophies ask you to start the main stages. Use normal progression to reach Dolangomeri 2: clear each preceding course when you need to open the next, then enter the stage that appeared. Learn the Boing bounce on the early courses, because keeping the rhythm will help more in the vertical sections than trying to gain speed at random.

A route through all 16 campaign stages, in order, without score requirements.

  • Original edition: PSP (2009); the original handheld has no PlayStation trophies.
  • Trophy sets: 17 trophies in each native PS4 and PS5 set.
  • Route: Start all 16 main stages; there are no medal objectives.
  • Trophy availability: The port arrived in 2022; trophies were added by a 2023 update.

From Chapo-Wahr 1 to Nyokki Land 1

Tilt the world with L or R to roll the LocoRoco. Press both buttons together and release to jump, then repeat the input as you make contact with a surface to Boing. Use the first two stages to practise the difference between a single jump and a chain. Enter Nyokki Land 1 next and use the first surfaces to keep the same rhythm as your trajectory changes.

  • Check Chapo-Wahr 1, Bui Bui Fort 1, and Nyokki Land 1 on the stage menu.

Bounce off the walls through Dolangomeri 1

Shamplin 1 and Jao Jab 1 lead to Dolangomeri 1. If a vertical section stops you, jump toward the right wall while holding R. On contact, release R and hold L; reverse this as you touch the other wall. Start slowly so it is easier to tell whether you are switching early.

  • Leave after the finish when you need to open the next course.

Open the three middle courses without chasing medals

In Tropuca 1, Yamboon Tree 1, and Shamplin 2, give the route to the finish priority. Leave fruit and detours for later if they cost several attempts, since none of the port’s trophies require collecting them. If you drop a chain, look for a safe place to begin a new jump rather than trying to recover the whole sequence in the air.

  • Check that Shamplin 2 has been started before moving on to CaloCaro 1.

Move through the second variants

Finish CaloCaro 1 and move on through Chapo-Wahr 2, Bui Bui Fort 2, and Tropuca 2. Read the number beside the name in the menu; entering the first version of an area does not count for the second. Control your speed in tight sections and use quick save or rewind if an error would force you to repeat a long section.

  • This stretch ends at Tropuca 2 before the final set.

Enter Dolangomeri 2 for the final check

Go through Kelapton 1 and Jao Jab 2 and then select Dolangomeri 2. Wait until you have control of the character: the final gold calls for starting the stage, so seeing the unlocked icon is not enough. If platinum does not pop, check the names of the stages in the trophy descriptions to find the missing entry.

  • The Dolangomeri 2 gold does not require clearing the stage.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need gold medals?

No. Trophy grades are distinct from stage medals. The list rewards entering the named courses; times, fruit, and medals are separate goals.

Do the bonus stages count?

No. Follow the 16 main courses for this platinum. You can finish the extra content after Dolangomeri 2.

Why are there no trophies on my PSP?

The PSP game is the original release. Update and launch the PS4 or PS5 edition to use one of the port’s two lists.
