Road Map

This game is intended for a younger audience and should pose no difficulty to obtain the platinum. The only thing you have to concern yourself with is actually collecting all the collectibles. However, with the collectible guide provided by our good friend Aksh0le over at our sister site, this is a walk in the park. (See "Elle Badge" for a link to the collectible guide.) This is not a very deep game, so I recommend just using the collectible guide from the very start, unless you're playing co-operatively with a younger person. In this case, just let them have fun, since even they should find it fairly straight forward. Either way, you don't have to worry, since you can go back and get all the collectibles you need afterwards through level select. Enjoy the easy platinum.

Secret Trophies

Beginner's Wings
Access the Multiplayer game menu.

Spoiler! (click here to reveal)

Just go to the multiplayer menu. Possibly the easiest trophy to get in this game. I can't recall if you can access this menu right away. But certainly after clearing level 3 this option becomes available from the title screen.

Excavation Badge
Find the hidden cave in "A Voice in the Mist."

Spoiler! (click here to reveal)

This cave is located in level 5 and the location is after the part where you have to tie the house down. You will do a Carl-Russell "co-op" jump (you do not need two players) and encounter some enemy flowers. The path to the cave is down and to the right.

Global Citizen Badge
Make sure to put out your campfire.

Spoiler! (click here to reveal)

Right at the outset of level 6 you are standing just below your campfire. Attack it to put it out.

Level Completion Trophies

Adventure is Out There
Defeat the first wave of combat planes.

This trophy will unlock after you clear level 1.

To Paradise Falls
Complete the level to start Carl's journey to Paradise Falls.

This trophy will unlock after you clear level 2.

A Bird Named Kevin
Find Kevin before Muntz does.

This trophy will unlock when you clear level 3.

Slide and Slither
Defeat the giant Anaconda.

This trophy will unlock after you clear level 4.

A Voice In The Mist
Find the voice in the mist.

This trophy will unlock after you clear level 5.

Meet the Pack
Meet the pack: Alpha, Beta, and Gamma.

This trophy will unlock after you clear level 6.

Night in the Jungle
Avoid being captured by Muntz's dogs.

This trophy will unlock after you clear level 7.

Sinkhole Terror
Defeat the giant Crocodile.

This trophy will unlock after you clear level 8.

Paradise Falls
Help Carl get his house to the top of Paradise Falls.

This will unlock after you clear level 9.

This trophy will unlock after you clear level 10.

Defeat Muntz's canine squadron in the skies above Paradise Falls.

Miscellaneous Trophies

Wings Badge
Defeat the first plane in the battle over Paradise Falls.

This will unlock after you shoot down your first plane in level 1.

Survivor Badge
Complete any Story Mode level without failing or quitting.

Since plane control in this game is fairly poor, I recommend doing this on level 2. It is possible to fall to your death or loose all your health, but with patience this should be a cake-walk.

Buddy System Badge
Free your buddy from five Snare Traps.

Snare traps can be found in level 3. These are "natural" booby traps that ensnare you and dangle you from the ground. Just get caught in these 5 times and have your partner free you. If you're playing solo, switch to the other character. If you're playing co-op, have your friend free you.

Sharp Tools Badge
Use Russell's key to cut through three items in the game.

This trophy that can't be missed. You must use Russell's key to advance at various stages in the game. You will most likely get this trophy in level 3.

First Aid Badge
Use Russell's Canteen three times.

Russell's canteen replenishes health. You will rarely need to use it apart from aquiring this trophy. There are pick-ups that fill up the canteen (which actually looks like a water bottle). Just use it three times for the trophy to pop. The uses can be spread out throughout the game.

Bug Hunting Badge
Catch or squash 100 Dio Bugs or Butterflies.

Dio bugs are the things that crawl around on the floor that look like lady bugs, except that they can be a range of different colors. If you play as Russell, you catch the bugs/butterflies. You squash as Carl. I think it's actually harder to catch these things. So, I prefer using Carl.

Bird Watching Badge
Locate Kevin for the first time.

This trophy will pop in level 3. Meeting Kevin is required. So, you cannot miss this trophy.

Teamwork Badge
Defeat either the giant Anaconda or Crocodile with 2 players.

I did this on the crocadile by myself. It would have been a lot easier (and much more fun) with a friend. I've been recently informed that you can NOT reassign and enter the game on the first controller. That is, this trophy requires two controllers.

Music Badge
Use Russell's Bugle three times.

This is a power up for Russell that has him "stun" enemies with the noise of his bugle. Just use the power three times. You can spread the use throughout the game if you like.

Knot Tying Badge
Tie off the house so it doesn't float away.

This is part of the story progression and cannot be missed. This trophy will unlock in level 5.

Pest Control Badge
Squish 10 Wasps and Spiders.

Unlike bugs and butterflies, wasps and spiders are enemies and can hurt you. Just squish them as you encounter them. Note: with wasps, you have to "soften" them up with Carl's hearing-aid power or Russell's bugle power before you can squish them.

Fishing Badge
Survive against the hungry Piranhas.

In level 6, you will come to (several) pools that have piranhas in them. Just swim past them to safe land without getting hit and the trophy will pop.

Merit Badge Champion
Collect 6000 Merit Badges in the game to become the Merit Badge Champion.
Merit badges are scattered throughout the game. You also get them from breaking stuff and squashing/collecting bugs or butterflies. You will want to collect every one you see not only for this trophy but becasue these are required to unlock the various Quest Cards.

Kite Badge
Use Carl's House to float across all the chasms in the game.

This is the one missable trophy in the game. If you do not go for all the collectibles, then you may miss a chasm. However, you should be going for the Ellie Badge, which requires that you get all the collectibles. This will unlock in level 7, provided you've floated across all the chasms.

Defense Badge
Successfully defend against 10 dog ambushes.

This may not unlock if you're defending with Russell. So, I'd use Carl just to be safe. Just fight off 10 dogs and the trophy will pop. As usual, you do not need to do this in one sitting. You should have this by level 7.

Karate Badge
Break open 10 watermelons.

Watermelons are only found in level 7. They are fairly easy to spot. If you're having difficulty finding them, use the link to the collectible guide found under the Ellie Badge trophy.

Swimming Badge
Swim through all of the areas that have water.

Another trophy that can't be missed, since you are forced to go through all the "water areas". This will unlock in level 8.

Environment Badge
Break apart at least 500 objects.

Just attack every breakable object you see. I got my trophy in level 8.

Shoveling Badge
Dig up all of the hidden bones using Dug.

Occasionally in this game, a dog named Dug will be with you and you have the option to control him. When he's around, there will be "dig" spots. These look like patches on the ground. Search these dig spots for Dug's bones. The trophy should pop after last dig spot in level 9. Refer to the collectible guide if you're having trouble finding these. The link is provided under the Ellie Badge trophy.

Hiking Badge
Find the picture-perfect view of Paradise Falls.

In level 9, you will come to a "bat cave" portion where you have to run to various sunlit spots in order avoid attacking bats. Upon exiting, go towards the waterfall (to the left) and stand at the edge of the cliff.

Rare Statue Badge
Find and collect the Gold Jaguar.

After you free Russell in level 10, you will come to a point where you have to move a museum case. If you go to the left, you will advace the game. If you go right you will find the statue. Obviously, you want to go right for this one.

Recycling Badge
Play through any previously completed level in Story Mode.

Just play through any level again after you've beaten the game. I recommend level 1, since it's the shortest.

Entomology Badge
Collect all varieties of each Butterfly and Dio Bug in the game.

See Ellie Badge.

Multiplayer Extras
Unlock the extra Multiplayer Combat Maps.

See Ellie Badge.

Memento Specialist
Collect all of Carl's Mementos.

See Ellie Badge.

Artifact Curator
Find and collect all of the Artifacts.

See Ellie Badge.

Animation Badge
Unlock the Bonus Art.

See Ellie Badge.

Ellie Badge
Complete all of the Quest Cards for a special badge.

You unlock Quest Cards as you collect merit badges. Each Quest Card has requirements to unlock game features (e.g. bonus art, multiplayer maps). Some of the requirements are to get collectibles. Others are to kill a certain bug type a certain number of times. To see the quest cards, just pause and select them. Also in the pause screen you will see what types of bugs are available on the level that you are currently playing and what collectibles you are missing. Here is a link to the collectible guide from our sister-site: Xbox360A Up Collectible Guide. Thank you Aksh0le!

Platinum Trophy
Unlock every Trophy in the game.

Just like it reads. Unlock all the other trophies and this guy will pop.

[MegaMonkeyChunk]

How the shit do you have 38 platinums? You must leave your house less than I do, and I only leave for school/work. Congrats from a fellow hermit.

Uhm.... I think you mean "meeting" and "you cannot miss"?

Yes sir. Thanks. Corrected.

4~6 hours to plat?

[qasic]

Yeah, I would agree that this game takes 4-6 hours to platinum. Some tips based on my playing experience...

If you missed any bugs/badges/collectibles the first time around, you can use Level Select to go replay the level to obtain those items.

After my first playthrough, I didn't get the Kite Badge, even though I went after all the collectibles (and had gotten them all). Turns out that if you die before completely flying over a chasm, it doesn't count as flying over the chasm. The one I missed was near the beginning of Level 6. Once I did that one again, my Kite Badge popped up.

If you need to farm the ants/butterflies, just lose all your life points near the area. When you respawn, the ants/butterflies will re-appear but your previous accumulated ants/butterflies count will still remain the same as before you died (and even there's no visible indication that the game saved).
