When exploding near an enemy by using the button, you have a chance of performing a counter. A red button flashing to be pushed will appear above you; all you have to do is push the button to explode again and you will get it. I found that the spawn machines are a guarantee to give you the chance to counter. Jump up next to one and keep pushing the button to explode and the trophy will pop. Should be one of the first trophies you get in the game.

You will get this while going through the first level. Anytime you kill an enemy, a red explosion cloud will appear from it and you will collect it. If you need to, you can even camp by a spawn machine and continue to kill them and fill up your bar on the left. As soon as it is filled for the first time the trophy will pop. You have to have this full to get an S ranking so you should be going for this in every level.

This trophy you should get upon completing the first level if you are following the Road Map. The details on how to get a good ranking are all detailed in the each of the Domination trophies.

Upon completing the game this trophy will pop!

Listed below are my stats for each of these levels. You may be able to get less kills and credits, but if you can get what I did or more then you will get an S rating. Just so you know, I never counted enemies while I was going through any level. I would kill all of the enemies from every spawn pod until they stopped dropping credits, also in some I farmed to make sure I was maxed out. Below is an explanation of each:

Level Credits

These are found throughout the level, dropped by dead enemies, and come from destroyed boxes. It is important to destroy everything and everyone as you proceed through the level so that you can get the most credits possible.

Explodicons

These are hidden throughout every level and a majority of them require you to solve a puzzle in order to gain access to it. The Collectibles Guide link is below and all thanks go to Ultra Mantis for writing it.

Enemies Destroyed

Pretty self explanatory here. This is the number of enemies that you killed throughout the entire level.

Explosion Level

This is the gauge on the left hand side that fills up as you kill enemies and decreases as you get hit by enemies or take damage another way. It can also be filled up by the explosion tanks that look like orange speedchargers as well. If you are getting close to the end and you are not full, stop at a spawn machine and kill enemies until you are maxed out.

As legndorock pointed out, you don't gain explosion from explosion running through enemies. This move shouldn't be used that often on your S runs to avoid not gaining enough explosion meter. As mentioned before, farming at any spawn point is very helpful because you can get it full early in the level and not have to worry about scrambling at the end.

Goals

At the end of each level there will be an expanding and collapsing set of balls that you have to time just right and explode to get them all. It isn't too difficult to get them on your first try, so don't worry. Just be patient and aim to be in the middle of them when they collapse, then explode to get them all.

A very easy trophy and can be acquired in the first world as soon as you obtain the double jump upgrade. Once you have this move and you have full Speedcharger, then you're set to go for this trophy. Jump in the air using and explode with . Continue doing this until the trophy pops. You need to have a fast recharge or you will not be able to stay in the air. I went for it right after I got the upgrade and it was no problem at all.

This trophy will pop after you complete your first level under the par time. See Speed Runner 1000% !!! for more details.

You need to purchase all of the upgrades from the store, collect all of the Gold Speedchargers and unlock his abilities from progressing through the game.

Gold Speedchargers

There are four to be found throughout the game and the fifth is bought from the store for 5000 credits. Following the Collectibles Guide makes this a lot easier.

Store Upgrades

The first upgrade for each costs 300 credits and the second costs 800, requiring a total of 5,500 to purchase all of them.

Explosion Power
Time Before Explode
Armor
Boost Period
Charge Gain

Abilities

These are gained as you progress through the story and come free, so nothing to worry about here.

I recommend going for this last because these will be the most difficult for most players. Also, you will want to have a fully upgraded character to make your life easier as you dash towards the finish. You shouldn't be going for any extra items since you should already have an S rating on the levels, full speedchargers, and have already bought the upgrades meaning you don't need to collect credits. Below are the required times for each level:

1-1: 3:00
1-2: 3:05
1-3: 3:05
1-4: 2:10

2-1: 4:20
2-2: 5:40
2-3: 2:25
2-4: 7:10

3-1: 4:01
3-2: 4:00
3-3: 2:15
3-4: 9:00

The absolute best place for this is found in the tunnel right before the goal room in 2-3. You need to break the three barriers along the way and try not to kill any of the enemies. I used the aim explosion to knock boxes out of the way and then waited until all the enemies were at the other end to explode the second and third. You then need to jump down into the goal room and come back up. At this point the spawn generator should spit out more enemies. Go back to the right and come back to this tunnel again. It should be filled with enemies and an explosion run back and forth will net you the trophy.

Thanks to Ultra Mantis for the tip.

While going for this trophy you will also get the Street Fighter trophy as well. You will need the ability to perform a 3 hit combo first, which is in world 2. Once you have unlocked this ability, as soon as a drop ship starts to appear on the screen you will want to jump towards it and explode at the last second for maximum power (you should be doing this almost the whole game anyway) and then perform the 3 hit combo. It will take more than that but not much and you need to have it destroyed before it leaves the screen. I went for it after I had upgraded everything and it was pretty simple. Just jump at it, spam and it should come easily.

Acid will first be introduced in the third world. You simply need to kill 100 enemies by knocking them into the acid that is found throughout the levels. This trophy is first farmable in world 3-1 after being taught about the acid. There will be a spawner next to it and you can stand to the right of it and blast the enemies into it for a few minutes until the trophy pops.

Thanks to legndorock for the tip.

You will get this while going for the trophy Bring it down! Bring it down!. However you can get it at any time against some of the bigger enemies. You will see a number appear over your normal counter indicator - 2, 3, trophy unlocks. Just keep pushing and it will pop. It is not difficult at all and you will probably get it without actually going for it, so don't worry too much if you don't get it right away after unlocking the ability.

Two good strategies are laid out below for this trophy. It is a little tricky, but with some perseverance it shouldn't cause too much trouble.

I got this in the second fight with him in world one. As the trophies says, just defeat him without getting hit. If you do get hit, you can restart from last checkpoint (which will be the start of the fight) and try again. I would recommend going for it on the earlier levels because he is much easier so this shouldn't pose much difficulty.

If you don't get it by the time you finish the game, then go back to world 1-2. He will start in the middle - jump towards him and jump away and he will begin to pull everything towards him. After this, get to the top platform and knock the purple explosion crates into him below. It should only take a few hits. Then jump down, use your aim and blast away. Repeat this and you shouldn't have much trouble beating him without getting hit. You can also just knock the purple crates into him if you want. If you do this fast enough he won't even have time to do any damaging moves to you.

This will come gradually over time. There is no need to worry because you will get it while playing through. Mine popped while going through world two. You will get this during all of your different playthroughs for each of the trophies, so no need to worry about this one.
