Show / Hide Guide Road Map  

Road Map:
Estimated trophy difficulty; N/A, my opinion 3/10
Offline trophies; 16 (11 5)
Online trophies; 0
Time to 100%; 2-5 hours
Minimum number of playthroughs; 3, one in each mode
Number of missable trophies; 1, Gnawer Chief
Glitched trophies? Not that I know of
Cheat codes disable trophies? No cheats

Firstly, this is my first road map.

1st Playthrough: Play through Hustle Mode and always use Jumper Hamster. If you do rubbish in a level then restart it, because you might not have 500 seconds left after finishing all the levels. If you can, do Long Legged Marsupial and Flying Squirrel on Speedrun II.

Trophies you should get in this step:
Guinea Pig
Flying Squirrel
Long Legged Marsupial
Prudent Chipmunk
Gnawer Chief
Familiar Beaver

2nd Playthrough: Play Stunt Mode. Get all keys if you can, but it isn't necessary to do on the first time through as it takes around 20 minutes to complete the mode. Again, make sure you restart every time you do bad (most likely on the 'Odd' level). If you're having trouble with the keys, check the link in the Rodent King trophy, or check on YouTube - but they aren't that hard to get.

Trophies you should get in this step:
Typical Rat
Rodent King

3rd Playthrough: Play Trial Mode. NOTE: these levels are the same as Stunt Mode. Play every level until you get the Watermelon times; look for shortcuts if you fall off a couple of times. Vermin Champion is probably the hardest trophy. If you haven't played a game like Super Monkey Ball this could be pretty hard. It shouldn't take too long overall, but some of the levels are annoying. Don't give up and you will do it, trust me.

Trophies you should get in this step:
Field Vole
Vermin Champion

Clean-up Playthrough: You should now have 6 trophies to go. First, you should play 'Night Bounce II' to get the Naping Dormouse and Funk Rabbit trophies. Make sure you use Spiky on all these levels so you can eventually get the Restless Cavy trophy.

Next, do any of the bonus levels so you can go through 15 rooms to get Curious Talpa. Now you should just have 1 or 2 trophies left, definitely Super Porcupine and maybe Prairie Dog. If you don't have Prairie Dog go for that first. Super Porcupine isn't hard if you know what you're doing.

[PS3T Would Like to Thank iamQmai1 for this Road Map]



Guinea Pig
Complete all non-bonus levels in Hustle Mode. (1) 

This isn't hard. All you need to do is to complete all levels in Hustle Mode. This will take roughly 90 mins of gameplay. The hardest levels for me were the gravity levels. There are 33 total levels (don't know if that includes practice levels).

Gnawer Chief
Complete Hustle Mode with more than 500 seconds in Time Pool. (3) 

When you finish a level the extra time goes into your Time Pool and you need more than 500 seconds total over all the levels in Hustle Mode to get this. Play a level and if you think you can improve on your time, restart the level close to the end as you will already know the way.

Typical Rat
Complete all levels in Stunt Mode. 

This for me was harder than Hustle Mode. It takes roughly 20 mins, though, as there aren't very many levels to do.

Rodent King
Find all  

This says "Find All" - which means all the locks in Stunt mode. It isn't hard, you should see them easily - they are green. The hardest one to find for me was on the second level, that one is behind the back wall as the 8ball tries to kill you. If you're having trouble finding the locks, check this thread:

Credit to Minarum for the lock locations.

Field Vole
Get Apple Award in all Trial Mode levels. 

See Vermin Champion

Vermin Champion
Get Watermelon Award in all Trial Mode levels. (3) 

This is probably the hardest trophy in the game. Complete Stunt Mode to unlock Trial Mode levels, then get Watermelon times on all levels. What I did was play one level at a time until I got Watermelon. This may cause some frustration as some of these are pretty hard, but don't give up.

The Watermelon times are like a medal time to beat, except each tier is a different fruit. There are four of these, ranging from Peach (easiest) to Watermelon (hardest). It says what time it is at the top of your screen and also after you complete the level, it also shows your fastest and most recent times.

Super Porcupine
Defeat 6 opponents in single match in Sumo Mode. 

This is not to knock 6 opponennts out of the ring, but to beat 6 opponents in a game. First of all, make it an 8 player game and just 'camp' so you don't get knocked off and you'll get points. This does work in 2 player, thanks to footlesssushi for the tip.

Flying Squirrel
Make an incredibly long jump and land successfully with 'Jumper' hamster.  

This can be done on the Speedway II level (the icy one). Just before the spot where there are many mechanical arms trying to kill you, jump from the ramp and safely land (should be on the left road).

Long Legged Marsupial
Reach an unreal speed with 'Speedy' hamster's ability. 

Do the same thing as the Flying Squirrel trophy, but use Speedy instead.

Restless Cavy
Destroy 150 obstacles with 'Spiked' hamster throughout the game. Trophy statistics are counted for completed levels only. 

This could take a while, but the easiest way is to use Spiky all the time (once you unlock him) in Hustle Mode. If by the end of that mode you don't have the trophy, keep playing through levels. I found the level after Bounce I to be the easiest.

Prudent Chipmunk
Win a level with 55000 score points. 

This isn't too hard, you should get it before you complete Hustle Mode. I did this on Gravity I.

Tips on maximizing your score:
1. Get more pigs
2. Finish levels quickly

Familiar Beaver
Complete all non-practice Hustle levels with single hamster type. 

What I did was first unlock Spiky. Then I went back to the Bounce I level and completed the game with Spiky. THIS DOES INCLUDE BONUS LEVELS WHICH ARE HARD TO NAVIGATE THE FIRST TIME.

 
Secret Trophies
 
Prairie Dog
Roll 200000 meters (656168 feet) throughout the game in any single player mode. Trophy statistics are counted for completed levels only. 

Easily done, just finish Story Mode once (all 3: Hustle, Stunt and Trial). You should then be at about 170000 meters, so just work on the other trophies and you will eventually get it.

Naping Dormouse
Roll through 10 phantom bridges in  

Once again this desciption is weird; this is in night levels. On the first playthrough you should get about 6-7 bridges depending on your routes, so just play 'Night Bounce II' twice more and this should be yours.

Funky Rabbit
Make 20 catapult jumps in  

Again another weird and incomplete description; this is in bounce levels. I just played Bounce I a lot. My friends and I were doing a 'Time Trial run' on that track and I just got it.

Curious Talpa
Visit 15 rooms in any single (3) 

This can be hard but overall it's not bad. Firstly, finish all the levels, then go to level select. Go to the bottom of the page - there are two time trial levels there. Play these. After your first few tries trying to complete the level you should know your way around, so the next time you play just go into every room you see. I did this with 23 seconds left so it's not too hard.
