Sonic Origins Platinum Guide (PS4, PS5)

Sonic Origins

PS4 / PS5

The platinum brings together four games and a set of missions for each. Clear the campaigns first to learn enemies and routes, then tackle mission S ranks. Save your coins until you know which museum unlocks you need.

Sonic Origins has 36 trophies on each native PS4 and PS5 list. The Plus add-on is not required.

  • Campaigns: Sonic 1, CD, 2 and 3 & Knuckles.
  • Missions: Ten S ranks in each of the four games.
  • Museum: 6 movies, 10 music tracks, 30 artwork items.

Finish the four classics

Start Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic CD, Sonic 2 and Sonic 3 & Knuckles separately and complete each one. Anniversary gives you unlimited lives and coins, which makes it a convenient first pass. In Sonic CD use a time sign and maintain speed long enough to travel.

  • Check the four opening trophies as well as the four clears.

Pick ten missions per game

Open Mission mode and alternate short speed and collection challenges. Read the requirement before starting; crossing the finish line may not count if targets or rings are missing. Each classic needs ten S ranks, so switch to another mission in the same group if one gives you trouble.

  • Count S results separately for Sonic 1, CD, 2 and 3 & Knuckles.

Finish objectives specific to each game

Use air bubbles and look for Moto Bugs in Sonic 1. In Sonic 2, stop at the Casino Night Zone slots for the jackpot. In Sonic 3 & Knuckles, collect the three shield types and try Knuckles’s glide. For Super Sonic, collect the emeralds in a title that supports the transformation.

  • Try Tails’s flight and check the enemy defeat counter.

Spend coins at the museum

Open the museum’s premium content and use the coins from runs and missions. Buy six movies, ten sound tracks and thirty pieces of artwork. Do not count entries available from the start or granted automatically; all three trophies ask for coin purchases.

  • Check each category immediately after its last required purchase.

Try Boss Rush and Mirror Mode

Entering a Boss Rush attempt is enough, but Mirror Mode requires a stage clear. Choose a level you know so you can adapt to the reversed direction. If enemy kills are still missing, replay an act with dense groups and use the Spin Dash to advance its counter too.

  • Check that the two mode trophies have unlocked separately.
