Sonic Generations Trophy Guide


Welcome to the trophy guide for Sonic Generations! This game has the honor of being the very first game to have timestamps on the trophies, as I first gained usage of PSN around when I had this game back in 2011. As such, it gains the honor of first time-stamped platinum, and also my 2nd platinum ever, only preceded by Assassin's Creed II. This game is pretty straightforward, with a decent amount of trophies you'll have to go out of your way for, but it's nothing that should prove entirely difficult. But with that said, let's get started!

All Trophies Collected! Collect all Trophies.
As the trophy says, collect all the trophies and this shiny platinum is yours, congrats!

The Opening Act Race through the first stage.
Not missable, as this is the first possible trophy you can get, unless you also later get Ring King in the same go.

GREEN HILL Restored! Restore the GREEN HILL Stage Gate.
Story related, not missable.

CHEMICAL PLANT Restored! Restore the CHEMICAL PLANT Stage Gate.
Story related, not missable.

SKY SANCTUARY Restored! Restore the SKY SANCTUARY Stage Gate.
Story related, can't be missed.

SPEED HIGHWAY Restored! Restore the SPEED HIGHWAY Stage Gate.
Story related, can't be missed.

CITY ESCAPE Restored! Restore the CITY ESCAPE Stage Gate.
Story related, can't be missed.

SEASIDE HILL Restored! Restore the SEASIDE HILL Stage Gate.

CRISIS CITY Restored! Restore the CRISIS CITY Stage Gate.
Story related, can't be missed.

ROOFTOP RUN Restored! Restore the ROOFTOP RUN Stage Gate.

PLANET WISP Restored! Restore the PLANET WISP Stage Gate.

Perfect Punisher Defeat Perfect Chaos.

Boom Boom Dragoon Defeat Egg Dragoon.

Scrap Metal Defeat Metal Sonic.
Story related, can't be missed.

Shadow Boxing Defeat Shadow.
Story related, can't be missed.

Silver Got Served Defeat Silver.
Story related, can't be missed.

Treasure Hunter Collect all the Chaos Emeralds.
Can't be missed, required to finish the story. 3 of the Emeralds are obtained as you collect Scrap Metal, Shadow Boxing, and Silver Got Served.

All Stages Cleared! Clear Sonic Generations.
After getting Treasure Hunter, you'll be able to fight the final boss. Defeat the boss to get this trophy!

Greased Lightning Clear GREEN HILL Act 1 within one minute.
Fans of the original Sonic will remember wanting to beat the first act of Green Hill super quickly. The same principle applies here. After some doing and some exploring, you'll figure out a way to get the stage done quickly!

Bright Star Get Rank S in an Act.
See Big Bang.

Shooting Star Get Rank S in three Acts.
See Big Bang.

Blazing Meteor Get Rank S in seven acts.
See Big Bang.

Blue Comet Get Rank S in twelve Acts.
See Big Bang.

Big Bang Get Rank S in all Acts.
To get Rank S in any Act, you cannot die, as Rank A will be the highest rank you can achieve. Simply go through the Act as quick as you can and get as many rings as you can to help boost your score, and don't die. Achieving Rank S isn't difficult at all, honestly.

Trickstar Pull off a seven or more trick combo or six trick combo ending in a finishing trick.
An easy spot to this on is in Green Hill Act 2, just after you escape the cave with the huge metallic fish chasing after you. Do as many tricks as you can, even if you're just holding the same direction, and end with a finisher, just to be safe. Reaching 6/7 isn't too hard, just keep trying.

Eradicator Defeat 100 enemies.
There's no way you can miss this. 100 enemies is NOT that much, by any stretch of the imagination. You WILL get this easily!

Ring King Reach the goal without dropping any of the rings you collected in GREEN HILL Act 1.
Aka, simply complete the level without taking any damage.

Action Hero Perform all of Sonic's moves in Act 2.
This includes drifting, lightspeed air dashing, sliding, wall jumping, stomping. Just do everything you're able to do and you'll get this one before long. Note that these do NOT have to all be done in one stage! It's cumulative, so once you've done a drift once, for example, you've completed that objective for this trophy.

Can't Touch This Take no damage from the final boss and clear the stage.
*shudders* Sorry, just having some bad flashbacks with this trophy. Anyways... In order to get this, you have to defeat Time Eater, as both Super Sonics, without taking any damage, period. With enough practice, it's easy enough, but I remember I raged so hard with this trophy, as one time I thought I took no damage, but I touched the walls/boundaries and it pushed me, but it doesn't damage you. I didn't get the trophy. I'll put it this way: 60+ lives and one rage quit later and I finally got this trophy. It's not extremely challenging, but just be careful and try to defeat him as quick as you can, but be safe!

Bonds of Friendship Complete all Challenge Acts featuring Sonic's friends.
Some of the Challenge Acts feature Sonic's friends, such as racing against Tails in one of the Green Hill missions. You'll get this as you work towards Mission Accomplished!

Walkie Talkie Chat with each of Sonic's friends you have saved.
After finishing Act 1 and Act 2, you restore the Stage Gate and save one of Sonic's friends. Make sure you talk to them. Very easy trophy but easy to forget about if you don't talk to everyone. ALSO NOTE THAT MODERN TAILS AND CLASSIC TAILS ARE COUNTED AS TWO CHARACTERS SO DON'T FORGET ABOUT THEM!

Join the Ranks Join the rankings.
The first time you start doing the online trophies, you'll get this trophy just for starting out and joining the rankings.

A 30-Second Test Participate in a 30-Second Trial.
Just do any 30-Second Trial for any stage and complete it, and this is all yours.

Jump for Joy! Find the spring hidden in GREEN HILL Act 1 and reach the goal with a Red Star Ring.
Somewhere in the level you'll come across 3 springs that will hit you into a Bee. Behind that enemy is another Bee and a tree with a hidden yellow spring that will take you to the Red Star Ring. Then, from there, complete the stage!

Walk on Water Clear CHEMICAL PLANT Act 2 without entering the water.
In some segments, you can avoid entering water by boosting to run on top of the water. You'll be better off going through some test runs of the stage to find the right routes to take and plan out your run, so this way you don't try to do this on a whim and get frustrated.

Walk on Air Clear SKY SANCTUARY Act 1 without falling and losing a life.
A relatively simple one. There are some points where you'll see a big, red sign with Sonic's old death sprite on it. These let you know that there are bottomless pits around you, and you will die if you fall. Put it this way, you have to work to achieve Rank S on this Act to get this trophy, as you won't get Rank S if you die. It's pretty much the same goal, for all intents and purposes.

The Byway or the Highway Get the Red Star Ring located on the shortcut route in SPEED HIGHWAY Act 2 and reach the goal.
Soon after getting on the highway after the Rocket tosses you through a building and going through some crazy turn and come to a complete stop. Slowly make your away around the corner to the right to notice a ramp there. Boost on it and make your way down the highway till you see a couple boosters and blue canisters. Focus to the left to a little lone booster and a small catwalk. At the end of the catwalk boost and jump to get the Red Star Ring for your trophy.

Demolition Derby Wreck 30 or more cars in CITY ESCAPE Act 2.
Anybody who's played Sonic Adventure 2 will remember smashing into many cars very quickly in City Escape. As you go down streets and such, run into as many cars as you can. 30 may not seem like many but you don't get many opportunities to smash into cars as you play the stage.

Secret Sleuth Get the Red Star Ring located in the hidden room in SEASIDE HILL Act 1 and reach the goal.
At the beginning of his stage as you make your way forward you will notice orange platforms, you must jump on them and from them jump to the platform ahead. This may be difficult but you can make it easier using the double jump effect from the Thunder Shield. Stay on the top most surface up until you have made your way to the cannon. The Cannon will launch you to the other side. Keep going up the top surface and pass the enemy will be two pillars moving up and down, go on the left pillar and once it goes down move to the left and next to a 1-up item box will be the Red Star Ring.

Look Both Ways Reach the goal in CRISIS CITY ACT 2 without being hit by a tornado-carried cars or rocks.
Yes, the trophy description contains some broken English. But anyways, as you reach the end, you'll see the huge tornado that will fling cars at you. Simply reach the goal ring without any of them hitting you. It's a little tricky but take your time and be careful and this trophy is all yours.

A Quick Breather Get the Red Star Ring atop the highest spot in ROOFTOP RUN Act 2 and reach the goal.
At the end of the stage, during the running portion, stick to the right-most side and you'll get the Red Star Ring for this trophy.

Color Power! Get the Red Star Ring by using an Orange Wisp in PLANET WISP Act 2 and reach the goal.
Later in the level of PLANET WISP Act 2 you'll reach mine carts. Stay on the top most part of the mine cart section and along the way you'll see a Rocket Wisp in the air, jump at it and land back on your mine cart. As you keep moving forward you'll see a line of rings moving upward. Jump at the middle of the line and use the charged Rocket Wisp by holding Triangle at the correct position. You should obtain the Red Star Ring.

Supersonic! Race through a regular stage as Super Sonic.
After obtaining all of the Chaos Emeralds, you can use the Super Sonic skill after equipping it. After collecting 50 rings, hit Triangle to transform. Then just complete the stage as Super Sonic to get this trophy. It can be Act 1 or Act 2, it doesn't matter.

Mad Skillz Get all Skills.
You'll get this during your run for Mission Accomplished! as some Challenge Acts unlock skills for you to purchase at the Skill Shop that's off to the left of Green Hill's Stage Gate. You also have to collect the Red Star Rings for some skills as well. Basically, this trophy will be obtained as you go through other completion trophies on this list. Otherwise the skills themselves aren't super expensive if you play levels a lot to earn the currency.

(Hedge)Hogging it All Up! Collect all collectibles.
Much like Mad Skillz, this trophy hinges through completing other trophy requirements, and is essentially linked to 100% completion. This means all Challenge Acts, Red Star Rings, beating the game, etc.

Time Attacker Play Ranking Attack on all stages.
This is simply Time Attack, as the trophy name would suggest. Simply do this mode on every stage and this is yours! If you go for the online trophies last, this will be your final trophy.

Red Ring Collector Get all Red Star Rings.
Red Star Rings are hidden in every Act, 5 for each, which means that there are 10 per Zone. You might be better off completing Challenge Acts as the skills obtained from them will help you obtain the Rings. Some Rings are connected to some of the trophies before this one, so be sure to see those for a couple. Otherwise there are plenty of video guides out there for assistance!

Halfway Point Complete half the Challenge Acts.
See Mission Accomplished!

Mission Accomplished! Clear all the Challenge Acts.
So scattered through all of the areas are little gates with challenges in them. Simply complete all of them to get both of these trophies. Some are a bit difficult, but not too bad once you know how to go about them!

And that's the trophy guide! I love this game, and I probably always will! I hope you found this guide to be any kind of helpful and I wish you luck in obtaining your platinum trophy! Thanks so much for reading and I will see you later! :D

*I'm not sure how long it took me to complete this game, as a majority of my trophies were obtained before I had PSN and timestamps added to the list. My first trophy, more than likely, was "The Opening Act." My final trophy was "Time Attacker" which was achieved on December 21st, 2011 at 10:14 PM, along with the platinum, "All Trophies Collected!" This platinum trophy is the 2nd platinum trophy I have received.*
