Sonic Colors: Ultimate Platinum Guide (PS4)

Sonic Colors: Ultimate

PS4

Start by clearing the planets and take the red rings you pass on the way. Revisit acts when you have the Wisps needed for shortcuts. Track three things for each area’s 100%: S ranks, red rings and the races against Metal Sonic.

PS4 Ultimate edition. All 47 trophies can be earned offline.

  • Trophies: 47 including the platinum.
  • Collectibles: 180 Red Star Rings.
  • Stage marathon: Egg Shuttle after the story.

Clear the planets and keep your rings

On the first run, watch for entrances to alternative routes. Do not spend time at a passage that requires a Wisp you have not unlocked. Use each area map to find acts with missing rings, then replay short stages to practise carrying speed and combo chains.

  • Clear Terminal Velocity and check each area’s counters.

Finish every area and Rival Rush

Take all five red rings in one attempt in an act you know well. Use separate runs to finish the overall collection. Check the area summary and, when Rival Rush opens, race Metal Sonic using the route you have already practised.

  • Check the S rank, red rings and rival win before leaving an area.

Clear the simulator challenges

Red rings open challenges in Game Land. Finish the simulator sets to obtain all seven Chaos Emeralds. Then activate Super Sonic and finish an act. For the no-ring trophy, use a separate attempt on a route where you can avoid ring groups instead of taking the fastest path.

  • Check both the Chaos Emeralds and the Red Star Rings rather than treating them as the same collection.

Tackle bosses one by one

Boss requirements are not identical. The fewer-than-three-hits trophies count successful attacks you land. Use Laser against Rotatatron and Spike against Refreshinator to deal more damage per strike. Use Drill in both phases against Captain Jelly and Admiral Jelly. Frigate Orcan, Frigate Skullian and Nega-Wisp Armor instead require an S rank.

  • Replay each boss for its specific requirement rather than just the clear.

Set aside a session for Egg Shuttle

Egg Shuttle strings the unlocked acts together. Start after the story so the full route is available. The trophy does not require a record. Choose safe paths and save boost for sections you know. Use normal stage selection for missing red rings.

  • Reach the end of the sequence without chasing a score.

Frequently asked questions

Do all areas need S ranks?

The 100% trophies follow the area indicators. Check the individual acts and then each boss’s separate requirement.

Do Egg Shuttle red rings count?

Use the regular stage selector for permanent collection. Treat Egg Shuttle as a separate challenge.

Are add-ons or leaderboards required?

No. The story, Game Land, Rival Rush and personal records cover the platinum.
