Introduction

ModNation Racers has a nice balance of offline and online trophies and all the trophies range from easy trophies that introduce different sides of the game, to trophies that requires you to do certain stuff in races to the longer grinding trophies. The offline part of the game isn't to hard. Some of the challenges will surely be a test of skill or patience, but overall, it's not that hard. Most of the online trophies aren't that hard either. Getting a XP Series win can be a challenge for some, but if you have beaten all the offline trophies, you should be more than capable of doing that. Where the real challenge in this game lies, is the "Star Creator" trophy that requires you to get 250,000 Create XP. That will require you to get around 40-50 000 downloads of what you make.

Please note that the steps underneath can be done in any order or if you feel like it, and you don't need to finish a step before moving onto the next one. So feel free to mix it up. With that said, the steps underneath is made to organize the different things you have to do to get the platinum trophy. With that said, you should start creating good stuff and publish it early on to start working towards the "Star Creator" trophy.

Step 1: Create

After finishing the first race, the next thing you should do is to go to the Creation Station to create your first Mod (character), Kart and Track. You may also want to look at all the video tutorials before starting to create things. This will also work towards the "Fast Learner" trophy. You should upload your creations and start promoting them to start the long road towards the "Star Creator" trophy that you get for earning 250,000 Create XP. After you have done this, it's a good time to familiarize yourself with the ModSpot and at the same time going for the "ModSpot Explorer" trophy.

Step 2: Career

The career includes 28 different races divided in 5 race series. You have to start with the first race and unlock one race at the time by finishing in top 3. The final race of each series requires you to win it. There is also a gold trophy for winning every race in career mode, so either re-start any race you don't finish first in, or wait for step 3 to do so. While doing the career races, you should focus on getting the "Third Eye", "Knockin' Boost", "Shields Up!", "Trigger Happy", "The Drifter", "Bruiser" and "Aggro Racer" trophies for doing things like using your shield, using every weapon, drift, hitting enemies with weapons, etc. If you want to see your progress towards these trophies, you can see that in the Stats section of the game (found in the start menu when you're in the ModSpot. Refer to the trophy guide for tips on how to do these.

Step 3: Cleaning up the career

After finishing up the career, you will probably need to go back to certain races, whether it is because you need to complete more challenges, find more tokens, beating developer lap times, winning races or even winning any grudge matches you haven't yet won or gotten access to. This step basically consist of looking at your trophy list to see what you are missing. Refer to the trophy guide for tips on any trophy you have problems with.

Step 4: Online

The online portion of this game is divided in to two different things. Doing online races and getting Create XP from your creations. The biggest grinding trophies is to reach rank 30 and getting 250 000 Create XP for the "ModNation Superstar" and "Star Creator" trophies. You also need to get 100 online wins to get the "Taking On The World" trophy. Another trophy worth mentioning is the "Flaming Hot" trophy for getting in the top 10% in hot lap mode. Focus mainly on these trophies and refer to the trophy guide for tips on how to get them.

Big City Tour DLC

Overview:

-Estimated trophy difficulty: 2/10

Step 1: Complete Races Offline

From Career Central, select the Big City Tour courses. While completing the races, follow the outline for City Slicker, and use the indicated weapons on particular courses to obtain Speeder, Mind The Mine, and Air to Air Combat. For Big City Tour Winner, simply complete all five races. Ideally, after this step all that remains are the two online trophies.

Step 2: Create Mode

Now that the offline trophies have been obtained, it's time to create. In the Modspot, drive over to the Creation Station and Enter Station. Create a new track using the Big City theme. Hold down to automatically complete the track, or manually make the track if you prefer to do so. After your track is completed, feel free to exit, save, and publish the track to obtain Big City Creator. While in the Modspot, hit to challenge a fellow racer. If the person you've challenged accepts, choose to host the race on one of the 5 UFG Big City themed Tracks. Once the race is over, Big City Promoter will pop.

You have to repeat that last step on four more different friends and this trophy will unlock. You only need to invite friends, you don't need to actually race.

I personally had problems getting this trophy to unlock. I therefore went on to challenge random people in the ModSpot. Just drive over to anyone, click , choose 'Challenge' and then set up the race. Repeat this four more times and it should unlock. The one you challenge doesn't need to answer for it to work.
Fill'er Up

Avoid boosting and continue to do this until the boost meter has filled up.

To get this trophy, you need to spin 3 complete rounds while in the air. There are a few tracks in the game that you can do this one, but they are only available later in the career mode. One of them is called Citadel Heights. I have also made a track called 'Headspinner - 1080 Spin" which you can download by searching for 'Pesico'. The video below shows how to do this.

Trigger Happy
Use all the weapons in the game 

There are four different weapon types in this game. Each weapon has 3 different levels plus a secondary weapon. You get weapons by driving through the item pods which is the red circular things with UFG written on it. When you drive through an item pod when you don't have any weapons, you get level 1 of one of the four weapon types. If you pick up another item pod, that weapon will increase to level 2, and the next time you pick up an item pod, it will increase to level 3, which is the best level. To get this trophy you need to use all 3 levels plus the secondary weapon of all 4 different weapon types. To fire a weapon, push . To fire a secondary weapon, hold and let go. This will drop a grenade behind you. Below is a list of all 16 different types of weapons you need to use at least once to get this trophy (you don't need to actually hit someone with them).

Offering Opinions
Rate 10 tracks, 10 Mods, and 10 karts 

Drive to the Share station and choose download. Click on the creation you want to vote on, set your vote and then click to confirm. The trophy will unlock after you have rated 10 tracks, 10 mods and 10 karts.

Pioneer Racer
Be part of the first race on a published track 

The easiest way to get this one is to make a track, publish it and start a casual race. You can have a 2 person casual race, so just invite a friend or wait for someone to join you to get this trophy.

Drifting Superstar
Earn 100,000 drift points in one drift (3) 

To get 100 000 drift points in one drift, you basically have to drift for an entire lap in a maxed out track, and since you can't change direction from left to right or vice versa, you need a special track to do so. Either create one yourself or download the track I have published.

Go to Share in the Creation Station, search for tracks by text and use Pesico as your text phrase and then chose the Drifting Superstar track.

To drift, you have to hold the button and use the left stick to move laterally (from side to side). It is very important that you drift as wide or as close to the outer border of the track as possible. In other words, as far away from the crocodiles as possible, but without hitting the wall. If you drift on the inside, you won't get enough drift points by the end of the lap. You could also set the race speed to Rookie. As soon as you have 100 000 points, let go of the button and make sure you don't crash in the wall. Below is a video showing how to do it.

 

 

The Drifter
Drift 1,000 times in total (1) 

Drifting is very important in this game so in time, this should come naturally. You drift by holding . If you want to check how many drifts you have made, push start in the ModSpot and then choose Stats. Amount of drifts is found under 'My Local Stats' and then in the 'Racing' category.

Slow and Steady
Win an action race without using any boost or using a boost pad 

In an action race (races with weapons), which can be in both quick race and career, you have to win the race without using boost or driving over a boost pad. You can however use weapons and your shield (deploy it by holding ). Try to build up your boost meter so that you can use the shield by drifting in every corner. If you're closing in to the finish line, shoot the enemies, and if they fire at you, use your shield by pushing . Also, make sure that you don't accidentally hit any of the boost pads as they count as using boost.

I suggest doing this in Quick Race mode. With these settings:
Number of laps: 1
Speed Class: Whatever you are most comfortable with.
Race Type: Action Race
AI Racers: 3
Difficulty: Easy

Pacifist
Win an action race without firing any weapons 

A pretty straight forward trophy. In an action race, which can be in both single race or career, you have to win it without firing any weapons. This includes sideswiping opponents (thanks to DBZ0wnz for that information). It should come pretty easy. Make sure you use your boost for all it's worth and taking every shortcut available to you. Also use the shield (you need boost to do that) when you think you will be hit by an enemies weapon. If you have allready downloaded the track mentioned for "Drifting Superstar", it makes it incredibly easy for this trophy as there are no item pods on that track.

Remixer
Remix a character, a kart, and a track 

This trophy requires you to remix a uploaded character (mod), kart and track. You can remix your own creations (as long as you upload them first) or download other people's creations to remix theirs. When you have saved at least one character, kart and track, the trophy will unlock. If you remix one of your own creations that are uploaded, the game will add the number 2 at the end of the name when you try to save. This is okay, just save it like that.

Series Winner
Win a ranked race series 

Drive over to Race Station and then Online and click . Select 'Join XP Race' and change 'Number of Races' to 'XP Series' and then click . An XP Series is five races, and you need to get the highest point total when all races are finished to get this trophy.

ModNation™ Prospect
Earn at least 1,000 Total XP (including Race XP and Create XP) 

See "ModNation™ Star".

Say Cheese!
Use photo mode in a race, in a studio, or in the ModSpot 

In the ModSpot, press start, choose Extras and then Photo Mode. Push L1 to take a photo.

Beat Down
Win your first online action race on a particular published track 

To get this trophy, you have to win a race on any track that is published by a user. Easiest way to get this trophy is to create a short track, invite a friend and then race the same track twice so that both of you get one win each to get this trophy.

Bruiser
Get a total of 200 takedowns 

Takedowns is when you hit other racers with weapons. 200 takedowns should come in no time. If you want to check how many takedowns you have made, push start in the Modspot and then chose Stats. Amount of takedowns is found under 'My Local Stats' and then in the 'Racing' category.

Aggro Racer
Sideswipe 75 opponents 

To sideswipe an opponent, you need to drive up to the side of him and then push the right stick in that drivers direction. You will need a certain amount of boost in order to pull this off. When you have done this 75 times, the trophy will unlock. If you want to check how many sideswipes you have made, push start in the ModSpot and then chose Stats. Amount of sideswipes is found under 'My Local Stats' and then in the 'Racing' category.

Sharing Karts
Publish a kart and have at least 10 people download it (8) 

After you have created a kart (you do so in the Creation Station), you have to upload it and have 10 people download it. Use the Sharing Boosting thread to get help with this trophy.

Sharing Mods
Publish a character and have at least 10 people download it (8) 

After you have created a character/mod (you do so in the Creation Station), you have to upload it and have 10 people download it. Use the Sharing Boosting thread to get help with this trophy.

Sharing Splines
Publish a track and have at least 10 people download it (7) 

After you have created a track (you do so in the Creation Station), you have to upload it and have 10 people download it. Use the Sharing Boosting thread to get help with this trophy.

The following is a tip from parker:
"When in the ModSpot, approach a kart and hit for actions. Then go to the flag icon (Challenge), and choose one of your tracks. Start the challenge - both of you are forced to download the track, getting you another +2 downloads for your track."

Flaming Hot!
Get in the top 10% in Hot Lap Mode on any given day 

In the ModSpot, drive over to the Hot Lap Mode screen to start this game mode. Here you will drive on a user created track decided by United Front Games. Your task is to drive fast enough to be in the top 10% of the day. Meaning you have to be among the first 10 000 if 100 000 people take part. Each day will have a new track and new possibilities. Unfortunately, the only info you have is your own time and the top 3 players. You can however see a leaderboard on ModNation homepage, but it doesn't say how many is on the leaderboard. The trophy will unlock the following day along with a message in the game that says you where part of the top 10% in Hot Lap mode.

Join the Team
Beat all 28 developer lap times in career (3) 

When you start career races, take a look at the screen that shows the track. It lists the name of the track, best lap and best time. To get this trophy, you have to beat the best lap time on all 28 tracks. If you have raced on the race before, there is no definitive way to see if you have beaten the lap time. You have to look at the time to see if it's round or not.

Does it look like this: 1:05.000? Then it's most likely a time you have yet to beat.
Does it look like this: 1:03.857? Then it's definitely your own time and you can move on to a different track.

Thanks to wottagunn for the following tips:
"To comfortably beat the lap times, race the first lap in a race really slowly, so you are literally half of the track behind the AI. Pick up weapon boxes until you have a level 3 boost (Warp).
At the start of the second lap, play the best you possibly can. Use all of your boost and drift constantly. You will never be shot by the AI because they will be ahead.
At the hardest part of the track, use your level 3 boost.

Doing this method, I managed to beat lap times by 10+ seconds."

ModNation™ Star
Earn at least 5,000 Total XP (including Race XP and Create XP) 

To get race XP, you need to play XP Races. To get Create XP, you have to upload you creations and have people download, view and race with/on them. See "Star Creator" for more details on Create XP.

Level of Merit
Complete all the career challenges 
There are 28 races in career mode and each race has three challenges. Advance, Payoff and Bonus. The Advance challenge has to be completed in order to advance to the next race, and usually consists of getting a top 3 position (except the final race of each series that requires 1st place). The other two challenges usually has two different things you need to do. One being to finish in 1st place and the other to mass up drift points, draft points, drive over boost pads, etc. If there are any specific challenges you have trouble with, check out this thread.
Hoarder
Collect all the tokens in the single player career 

Each career race track has 5 tokens you need to find. Sometimes they are easy to spot, while they are more harder to spot on other occasions. Some of them will be up in the air which means you have to jump or double jump. Pushing once let's you jump and pushing it twice in succession lets you make a double jump. Other times the tokens are hidden in shortcuts or even in spaces that you have to shoot a trigger with the button (you need a small amount of boost to do this). By going to the Career central, you can see the tracks and how many tokens you have found on any track. To find the remaining ones, I suggest you start a race and just go slow looking for them.

Taking On The World
Win 100 Online Races (2) 

As the trophy says, you need to win 100 online races to get this one. Casual races count, so you can easily boost this trophy with a friend. I do however suggest to try and do this in XP Races as the experience will work towards "ModNation™ Star"

Dominator
Come 1st in every race in the career 

Get in 1st place in every race in the career. If there are any races you have trouble with, you can try changing your 'Driver Style'. I suggest keeping it at +2 drift all the time, but the acceleration/speed slider can be changed. You have to be in the ModSpot to change this. Just push the button to bring up a menu and then push to access 'Driver Style'.

Star Creator
Earn at least 250,000 Create XP (11) 
This trophy might be the hardest in the game. I'm not gonna lie, 250,000 Create XP is a lot. Here is a breakdown on how you get Create XP:

Downloads - 5 XP
Races Started - 2 XP
Views - 1 XP

An example would be 42,000 downloads, 12,000 races started and 16,000 views would give you 250,000 Create XP. Which is a lot.

Thanks to John_Mast3r for this info.

So with that in mind, promote your creations to the best of your abilities. There are several sites on the net that will let you promote your creations. Use them for what it's worth.

The following is a possible boosting method, but it will take a lot of time. Just randomize mods and publish them until you hit the maximum uploads (which will increase when you get more Create XP). Then log into an alternate PSN account and download and view all your creations from the alternate PSN account. Do not do it by going into your profile, but simply use the search feature to search for your PSN ID. Going into your profile will only list a limited amount of your Mods. Then log back into your main account. Unpublish and publish all your Mods again and then rinse and repeat.
ModNation™ Superstar
Achieve level rank 30 

Both Race XP and Create XP works towards your rank. To get Race XP, you need to race XP Races/Series. To get Create XP, people need to download, view and use your creations in races. See "Star Creator" for more info on Create XP. If racing is your thing, I suggest you do XP Series races. If you win the series, you'll get a 500XP bonus. Second place overall gets 400XP and so on.

To reach level 30, you need 500,000 XP

 
Secret Trophies
 
Mayhem Tour Winner
Win the Mayhem Tour 

The Mayhem Tour is the second race series. When you win the fourth race in the Mayhem Tour, this trophy will unlock.

Range Tour Winner
Win the Range Tour 

The Range Tour is the third race series. When you win the fifth and final race of the tour, this trophy will unlock.

Grim Tour Winner

Third Eye
Hit 20 opponents with weapons dropped as secondary weapons 

When you have a weapon equipped, you can hold the fire button, , and it will fire the secondary weapon which is a grenade you drop behind you. This trophy is very easy and after you hit 20 enemies this way, the trophy will unlock. When you hit an enemy, their picture will pop up on the screen along with 2500 points.

Shields Up!
Successfully defend yourself with your shield 20 times 

To use a shield, you need to have boost, and preferably lots of it for defending against the toughest weapons. When someone shoots at you, you will hear an alerting sound and there will be a graphic low and in the middle of the screen to warn you. Deploy your shield by holding the button. It will take some practice to get the timing right. My best tip here would be to wait for your mod to look behind before you deploy the shield. If someone from behind shoots the Sonic Rift weapon, wait for it to pass you before you deploy the shield. The Sonic Rift weapon is the one with blue shock waves.

Win Grand Finale
Win the Grand Finale 

To get this trophy, you must win the final race of the career mode.

Elite Hunter
Beat all the Elite racers in the grudge matches 

In certain career races, you have the possibility to unlock grudge matches against the Elite player in that race. To unlock a grudge match, you have to complete all 3 challenges of that track. When you do that, you will be asked if you want to participate in the grudge match. Answer yes and then win the grudge matche to get this trophy.

There are three different types of grudge matches:
- Point race 1-on-1 vs. the Elite driver - You have to score more points by drifting, getting air time, etc.
- Normal race 1-on-1 vs. the Elite driver - It's just you and the Elite driver, finish first.
- A normal race against the Elite driver and his crew.

Below is a list of all career races that unlocks grudge matches:
The Home Tour: None
The Mayhem Tour: Miner's Rift, Boardwalk, Island Dash and Flaming Jumps.
The Range Tour: Market Run, Craggy Hills, Rickety Bridge and Drift Paradise.

DLC: Far East Tour
Cost: 9.99 Trophies: 7
 
Ricochet
Ricochet a Straight Shot then hit an opponent on the Great Wall track 

While you are on the Great Wall track you will need to get a level 1 Rocket (Red Power Up). Then hang back so you a few people in front of you. Then when you are coming up to a turn or curve in the road shoot your Rocket. It has to bounce off a wall before it hits the opponent.

Shocker
Hit three opponents with a single Chain Bolt on the Fortress track 

While you are on the Fortress track you will need to get a level 2 Chain Bolt (Purple Power Up). Then hang back and keep racing until you see a cluster of at least 3 other racers. When you shoot the electro bolt at them, at least 3 racers have to be hit with that single Chain Bolt.

Coat Tails
Follow an opponent into his or her Warp on the Terraced Drop track 

While you are on the Terraced Drop track you need to follow behind someone who has a level 3 Warp (Green Power Up). You can't tell what kind of power up someone has so this trophy can be hard. Just keep to the rear of the field, following close behind a group works best. Then when you see the green Warp appear on the track, follow your opponent through it.

Far East Promoter
Host a casual race using a UFG track from the Far East theme 

Go to the online menu and click on Host Casual. Then when you see the screen that says My Published Tracks, press to get to UFG Creations. Then choose any of the five Far East Tour tracks. The five tracks are: Great Wall, Hidden Forest, Dragon City, Terraced Drop, and Fortress.

After you choose your track, choose any race settings and then invite a friend to your game. If you need a boosting partner use the Boosting Thread to find someone to boost with. You can also challenge someone from the modspot to a casual race on a far east tour track.

(Credit to Smirnoff103 for the challenge someone in the modspot tip)

Far East Creator
Create and publish a track using the Far East theme 

Click on new track, and when you get to the Theme Select screen choose Far East. Then click lay track and hold down to auto complete the track. It will make the track in the shape of a circle.

Far East Tour Winner
Win the Far East Tour 

There are five tracks all together in Far East Tour, and all you have to do is come in 3rd place or better on each of the tracks. The only track that you have to come in first is the last track which is Fortress.

Undisputed Champion
Come 1st in every race, collect all the tokens and complete all the race objectives in the Far East Tour 

There are five courses, and you have several things to do on each track. Below is a quick checklist for you to follow thru. Note that I skipped "finish 3rd/1st" as that is already part of the other objectives.

For the tokens, drive slowly checking for shortcuts and driving each route to find the tokens. Also shoot the sensors you see with boost by tapping .

To beat lap times, drive well behind the pack collecting Lvl 3 Warp and filling up your boost bar. Start the second lap with the opponents far ahead, and you can zoom thru without being shot at or sideswiped, and use the Lvl 3 Warp at the hardest part of the track.

Great Wall:
• Collect 5 Tokens
• Beat Lap Time of 1:16:00
• Shoot a Lvl 1 Missile into a wall that bounces into an opponent for Ricochet
• Objective: Finish 3rd or better and get 5000 Draft Points (drive behind an opponent to get draft points)
• Objective: Finish 1st and no wall hits for 1 lap

Hidden Forest:
• Collect 5 Tokens
• Beat Lap Time of 1:02:00
• Hit three grouped opponents with an area-effect Lvl 2 Chain Bolt for Shocker.
• Objective: Finish 3rd or better and Sideswipe 3 opponents
• Objective: Finish 1st and take all 3 shortcuts

Dragon City:
• Collect 5 Tokens
• Beat Lap Time of 1:00:00
• Objective: Finish 3rd or better and get 100000 Drift Points
• Objective: Finish 1st and get 10000 Road Points

Terraced Drop:
• Collect 5 Tokens
• Beat Lap Time of 1:03:00
• Jump into an opponents Lvl 3 Warp for Coat Tails. (Drive just behind the pack and you should see it sooner or later.)
• Objective: Finish 3rd or better and take down 5 opponents
• Objective: Finish 1st and get 40000 Spin Points. There are actually 6 (or more) spots to get jumps per lap!

  1. Launcher#1: Double Spin
  2. There is a "shortcut" with two mods between the bushes, double-jump and spin
  3. Launcher#2: Double Spin
  4. When the split patch merge, there is a ramp where you can land a spin
  5. After the curving and wall pushers there are some weapons and a little speed bump, double-jump at the peak and get a spin
  6. Between the two white arcs drive off the cliff on the right, and find a ramp for an easy spin

For the spin to count and earn points, your kart needs to be straightened out. Spot #4 has a curved road and you might need to be slightly tilted depending on the spot you land, so it is not very reliable...

Fortress:
• Collect 5 Tokens
• Beat Lap Time of 1:17:00
• Finish 1st for Far East Tour Winner
• Finish 1st and get 7000 Max Speed points
• Finish 1st and take down 5 opponents

The Mighty Deflector
Use your shield to defend against a Bolt Storm on Snow Storm City 

Easy, just takes a bit of luck for one of your opponents to hit you with the Bolt Storm. Make sure your boost is full so you have enough time to use your shield. The Bolt storm is the level 3 attack of the "Bolt element" where the sky becomes darker and hits all the opponents with lightning. Two controllers may be used to make this trophy easier to earn.

Air Defense
Use your shield to defend against any attack whilst in the air on Downhill Peak 

This one needs much luck. I've found a technique that may be easier but it's still not 100%. Be the first driver with a big distance to the 2nd driver. Then when you see on the bottom right map a weapon coming towards your direction try to time it right before you take a jump ramp. I must add that the Sonic Rift weapon goes much slower when you're in the air than the other weapons. (the easiest weapon to defend when you're in the air is the "Bolt Storm").
I also found another technique (and got the trophy this way) that you don't have to do "in the air". When you have jumped the first ramp, there will be a zigzag part with a first turn to the right, then to the left. Right after that left turn there's a "mini jump" and what I did was I had a "Sonic Rift" coming into my direction on my last lap and I could jump & defend on that place and got the trophy, but as you read it really requires a perfect combination of luck & timing.
If these techniques are not working for you and you got a second controller try it with two players in the "split screen" mode or boost with other players.

Dance Party
Hit three opponents with a single Sonic Bomb on Iceberg Edge 

I got it on my first try, but it involves also much luck. Right at the beginning, after the first jump, take a power-up and pray the lord it's the sonic bomb weapon. Try looking behind you (or in front of you) to locate where most drivers are and unleash the bomb. More controllers may be used to make this trophy easier to earn or boost with other players.

Arctic Promoter
Host a casual race using a UFG track from the Arctic theme 

In the modspot, hit then select one of the players online in the modspot, then choose "challenge". On the next screen select one of the "Arctic Tour" levels and wait until the player you've sent the challenge to accepts it, otherwise invite someone else. Once you have crossed the finish line and the time is over the trophy will pop.

Arctic Creator
Create and publish a track using the Arctic theme 

Go to the "creation studio", create a new track with the "Arctic theme". Hit to auto complete the road (it will ask afterwards to auto populate the track, it doesn't matter what you select here). Then "quit & save" and publish the track.

Arctic Tour Winner
Win the Arctic Tour 

Self explanatory, finish the 5 levels in 3rd or better place, you don't need to find any token or win any bonus race objective to obtain this trophy.

Ice Cool Champion
Come 1st in every race, collect all the tokens, and complete all the race objectives in the Arctic Tour 

To get this trophy you have to finish all the 5 races first, succeeding with the race objectives and collecting all the tokens on every race (5 tokens / race).
The race objectives aren't hard so they shouldn't be any problem. But I had some problems locating a few tokens immediately:
- The first was in the Downhill Peak, the last token that's above the forest on your last jump, I could only get it if I double jumped () before the ramp.
- In the Iceberg Edge level, the 2nd token. Instead of going to the right where the first token is go to the left, you will pass those big "air balloons", continue on that path and at the end the token will be there waiting for you.
- In the Penguin Palace, the first token is hidden on the right after you exit the cave with water at the bottom. It's in a new cave with doors in front of it.
- Also in the Penguin Palace, the third token is hidden in the "palace", with ice at the bottom and with the arena at the end, it's at the most left between pillars where there are 2 power-ups in the middle.

You don't need to beat the developers best times on every race and you don't need to have the "The Mighty Deflector", "Air Defense" and "Dance Party" trophies to earn this one.

Speeder
Use a Supercharger and for the duration of the boost don't hit a wall on Tourist Trap 

At the start of the race on Tourist Trap, drive slowly on purpose and stay in 12th place behind your competitors. Usually when you're in last place, your Power Up will be the Supercharge. Upgrade your Jumpstart (Tier 1) to the Supercharger (Tier 2), and unleash it right before you catch air off of the large ramp in the level. When you land, anticipate a sharp right turn, and another right turn. If the turns are correctly anticipated, it's easy to avoid walls during the duration of the Supercharger.

Mind The Mine
Hit an opponent with a level 1 secondary weapon on Gridlock River 

While on Gridlock River, when you have a level 1 Power-Up equipped and an enemy behind you, simply hold , and it will fire the secondary weapon. If the secondary weapon connects with an enemy, the trophy will pop.

Air to Air Combat
Hit an opponent in the air with a Swarm on Skyscraper Hop 

For this trophy, the timing is absolutely critical. While racing on Skyscraper Hop, acquire the Swarm Power-Up (Tier 2). Ideally, you want a few enemies slightly ahead of you. When they're about to go off of a ramp, unleash the Swarm. If you unleash while they're in the air, the Swarm won't hit them in time, but if you unleash directly before they launch off the ramps, it'll hit them in the air. Luckily, Skyscraper Hop is filled with large jumps (hence the name), so there are many opportunities for you to attempt this.

Big City Promoter
Host a casual race using a UFG track from the Big City theme 

While in the Modspot, press and and select a player using . Challenge them to a casual race on one of the UFG Big City tracks. Should they accept, the trophy will pop when the race is complete. If you're having trouble finding people who will accept your challenges, use the Boosting Thread.

Big City Creator
Create and publish a track using the Big City theme 

In the Modspot, drive over to the Creation Station and Enter Station using . Create a new track using the Big City theme. Hold down to automatically complete the track, or manually design the track to your liking if you prefer to do so. Once the track is laid, it will ask you if you want to auto populate the track (this makes no difference). Simply quit, save, and publish the track and the trophy will pop.

Big City Tour Winner
Win the Big City Tour 

Simply finish in at least third place on the first four Big City Tour tracks, and come in first place on the final Big City Tour track, the aptly-named Skyscraper Hop.

City Slicker
Come 1st in every race, collect all the tokens and complete all the race objectives in the Big City Tour 

The requirements for each course is as follows:

Tourist Trap:

  1. Finish 3rd or better
  2. Finish 3rd or better & Sideswipe 3 opponents
  3. Finish 1st & get 80000 Drift Points
  4. Collect all 5 Tokens


Subway Mayhem:

  1. Finish 3rd or better
  2. Finish 3rd or better & NO wall hits for 1 lap
  3. Finish 1st & get 60000 Spin Points
  4. Collect all 5 Tokens


Gridlock River:

  1. Finish 3rd or better
  2. Finish 3rd or better & take down 3 opponents
  3. Get 65000 Drift points
  4. Collect all 5 Tokens


Home Run Circuit:

  1. Finish 3rd or better
  2. Finish 3rd or better & get 4000 Max Speed points
  3. Finish 1st & take down 5 opponents
  4. Collect all 5 Tokens


Skyscraper Hop:

  1. Finish 1st
  2. Finish 1st & take all 3 shortcuts
  3. Finish 1st & get 60000 Spin Points
  4. Collect all 5 Tokens


For finishing first on a particular course, utilize shortcuts and weapons, and use your boost appropriately. I tended to use most of my boost for either shielding myself from enemy attacks, or for gaining speed on long, straight stretches of track.

If you're having any trouble finding the Tokens scattered throughout the courses, I advise that you drive slowly (don't focus on winning the race) and search every shortcut, nook, and cranny. Many of them are clearly visible out in the open, but the occasional Token can be well-hidden. Also, you don't have to beat the Developer Times to unlock City Slicker.
