Roadmap:

 

First off, there are 13 trophies in the base game. To get the other 5 available, you must purchase the DLC. If you believe you will eventually purchase the DLC, I strongly suggest just buying them both at the same time. There are trophies with the DLC that require completing 50 levels in a row and one that requires 2,000,000 points. You will have to replay some of the original game if you decide to get the DLC at a later date.

 

One major note: NEVER SELECT CONTINUE if you run out of lives! If you do, you just ruined the work you've done up to that point as your level count resets. Always choose TRY AGAIN, which is :circle:.

 

Start off the game by playing level 1-1. You'll need a good amount of time set aside because you will be playing through the game without quitting. If you quit before getting the trophies that require completing xx number of levels in a row then you just lost out on it. You'll have to do it all over again. If you sit and play through every level in one sitting then you'll get 11 of the trophies automatically. I include the trophy "Bonus Plan" because you should get that in a play through.

 

Once you've completed the game and have those trophies, you can go to any level you need and wrap up the ones you missed.

 

General Tips:

  • Try to get your ball up to the top of the screen and behind obstacles. This will allow it to bounce around and continually destroy items.

  • The iron ball powerup (spiky black ball) is a great powerup generally. Grab it whenever you can.

  • Keep an eye on the countdown timer for certain powerups. It appears in the top right of the screen.

  • Likewise, your weapon powerups (laser, cannon, etc.) have limited shots. Use them wisely.

  • Never choose going for a powerup if it means you die. It's never worth it.

Complete ‘Plundering Pirates’ Episode

 

This is the first episode. There are 24 levels and you should be taking this time to get to know your powerups and get a feel for when to use them. The majority of these levels are easy and should not provide any real challenge. Now you don't have to complete this episode in one sitting, however I do advise doing so to make getting other trophies a lesser task in the end. Remember, always hit :circle: if you run out of lives.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/71/001.jpgNI! (B)

Complete ‘Naughty Knights’ Episode

 

This is the second episode in the game. Just like the first episode, this one has 24 levels as well. It will likely test your abilities and skills in the game a bit more than the first. Just remember to play it smart and if you don't succeed at first, keep trying. You'll get different powerups or discover an easier method of attack. I'll say it again, always hit :circle: if you run out of lives.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/71/002.jpg10 in a Row (B)

Complete 10 Levels in a Row

 

You'll need to complete 10 levels in one sitting to earn this trophy. Simply start at level 1-1 and get ready to play. Hopefully you're following my advice to keep playing so that you get this trophy as well as the 25 and 50 level trophies. Remember, always hit :circle: if you run out of lives.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/71/003.jpg25 in a Row (B)

Complete 25 Levels in a Row

 

You'll have to complete 25 levels in a row to earn this trophy. If you're following my advice, you'll get this trophy on your way to earning "50 in a Row," assuming you have purchased the DLC. Remember, always hit :circle: if you run out of lives.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/71/004.jpg500K Plan (B)

Score 500,000 points

 

You'll need 500,000 points to earn this trophy. If starting from 1-1, you should easily have this trophy before the episode is complete. Do your best in the bonus rounds to grab as many coins as possible. Also, try to get your ball above many obstacles and let it bounce around hitting objects like stated in the general tips section. Remember, always hit :circle: if you run out of lives. If you don't, you'll lose your points.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/71/005.jpgMillionaire’s Club (B)

Score 1,000,000 points

 

You'll need 1,000,000 points to earn this trophy. You will typically get this at some point during the second episode if you start from level 1-1. Remember, always hit :circle: if you run out of lives. If you don't, you'll run out of points.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/71/006.jpgThe Morris Award (B)

Gain 9 Extra Lives

 

You need to have a total of 9 lives at one time for this to unlock. Extra lives are pink hearts that fall down the screen as a powerup. It's possible to get this in the first playthrough if going for the 25 or 50 level trophies however I would go back for this once you've completed the game. Start on level 1-1 as it's easier and if you die, restart the level. You may choose to restart if you find no hearts on the level as well. I would try to get at least one heart on each level.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/71/007.jpgBonus Plan (B)

Collect 200 ‘Bonus Points’ power-ups

 

Bonus Point powerups are the gold coins that drop like powerups. The majority of your bonus points that you'll collect are in your bonus stages. Try to do your absolute best to collect as many as you can during this time. You'll be awarded a bonus level every 5 levels. To the best of my knowledge, this trophy HAS to be done in one playthrough. Go for this trophy with the 50 plays trophy and the 2,000,000 points trophy.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/71/008.jpgMinuteman (B)

Complete a level within one minute

 

It is possible to complete a level in one minute or less. That is how I got my trophy. The easiest method is to beat a bonus level. After a certain amount of time, the bonus level will force you to lose. It will almost always be before a minute passes.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/71/011.jpgBack in the Chain Gang (S)

Start a chain reaction with a bunch of cannons

 

I got this trophy in level 1-5. With the set up that the level begins with you should be able to shoot the cannon on the left to get the chain reaction started. You could also get a cannon weapon powerup and use that to initiate the chain reaction.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/71/012.jpgThrough the Fire and Flames (S)

Seek out and aid the lone knight in his fight against the dragons.

 

You'll find this opportunity to get the trophy on level 2-16. This is a fairly difficult trophy and will take multiple tries to get it. Definitely go back to this level once you're done with the main game to get it. There is an armored knight in the middle surrounded by dragons. You have to destroy the dragons without destroying the knight. He can take 3 normal hits so you have a little bit of play. Use the weapon powerups to your advantage. The laser can take out 2 or more dragons in one shot but you have to be sure the knight is not in the line of fire. You can also try to open up one side of the knight and use a wind powerup and hope that he separates from the dragons. It will not always work.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/71/010.jpgAward Winner (G)

Collect all Awards in the game

This is the platinum-like trophy in this game. Once you have all the base trophies in the game, it will unlock.

 

Secret Trophies

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/71/009.jpgGoodbye Cruel World (B)

5 Killer Skulls Collected

 

These killer skulls are dropped like powerups in the game. They are a gold skull and crossbones and once you touch it you will lose a life. There are some red totempoles with yellow horns that will release powerups when hit. These are typically powerups you would want to avoid. However, you're going for this trophy so you'll want to hit it as many times as you can to get the skulls to possibly drop.

DLC Trophies

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/../images/trophies/71/13.jpg[Wicked Witches] EE-HEE-HEE-HEE-HEE-HEE!!! (B)

Complete ‘Wicked Witches’ Episode

 

This is the third episode in the game. It will likely give you trouble and frustrate me. Just like the first two episodes, this one has 24 levels. The last level is very tough but you will eventually get it. There is only one way to get it cleared and that's to get the ball up the middle and through a narrow opening on either side of the fence. An iron ball works wonderfully if you're lucky enough to get one. Just keep at it.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/../images/trophies/71/14.jpg[Wicked Witches] 50 in a Row (B)

Complete 50 Levels in a Row

 

Hopefully you purchased the DLC at the same time as the game. If not, then you'll have to replay some of the original episodes so that upon completion of the DLC episode, you will get this trophy. You'll have to complete 50 levels in a row to earn this trophy. Remember, always hit :circle: if you run out of lives.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/../images/trophies/71/15.jpg[Wicked Witches] More Points Than You’ll Ever Need (B)

Score 2,000,000 points

 

You need 2,000,000 points to earn this trophy. Hopefully you're playing from level 1-1 and playing in one sitting so you knock out several trophies at once. You should not have too much concern of not getting enough points if you're playing through it at once. Remember, always hit :circle: if you run out of lives.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/../images/trophies/71/16.jpg[Wicked Witches] Evening Exorcist (S)

An evil witch performs dark rituals. Put an end to them by destroying her at nighttime.

 

You'll have to get this trophy on level 3-8. You'll see the witch in question that you must destroy. The trick here is to get her to the ground level with whatever means you find available and not destroy her until you have picked up a night pickup (crescent moon). I would suggest picking up a weapon powerup (laser would be best) and holding on to it until you get the night powerup and hit her with the weapon. This ensures you get her hit while it's night instead of having to aim the ball to hit her.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/../images/trophies/71/17.jpg[Wicked Witches] As You Wish (S)

No one should hinder true love. Find the lovers and make those around them go away.

 

You'll have to get this trophy on level 3-9. I would simply go back for this trophy once you've wrapped up the story. You will see the couple on the map. Your goal is to destroy the trees and guitars around them without destroying the couple. Use your weapon powerups to your advantage but be extremely careful.

I just need those last two DLC trophies to get 100%, cheers for the method/tips, especially the Witch idea of using a weapon rather than the ball.

 

One small thing thought Swat, I would bold that "major note" statement in the OP to make it obvious.

 

Nice one...

 

 

EDIT: I now have 100%! I managed the Witch trophy on the first attempt with Swat's method. The other trophy took 3 or 4 attempts, nice knowing you only have to destroy the trees and musical instruments, I thought it meant clear the whole board initially.

Awesome work, SwatTJ^^

 

I had a blast playing this game a few months ago. It was one of those PSN purchases that I didn't regret. :applause:

 

Thank you. I was unsure when I initially bought it but it was worth the money.

The note is now bold, italicized, and underlined. Hopefully that is eye catching enough ;). Congrats on your now 100%.

For the "As You Wish" trophy, do you have to destroy everything but the two lovers? Thanks!

 

It was right above. Try reading the whole guide next time for all the help you'll need.

 

Your goal is to destroy the trees and guitars around them without destroying the couple.

Can I choose "RESTART LEVEL" from the pause menu on multiple occasions throughout my journey to completing the 50 levels in a row trophy? If I lose a bunch of hearts on an easy level, it's better to choose "RESTART LEVEL" from the pause menu & try to beat the level with less hearts used, but I don't know if that will prevent me from earning the trophy. Someone posted that you cannot turn off the ps3 or choose "QUIT". Is that true?

Yes, you can pause and choose "RESTART LEVEL" and still get the trophy. As long as you don't choose quit or shut of your PS3, you'll be fine.

I bought it to day and a patch had to be downloaded also, the thing is the game froze at the 45th level, I restarted the machine and choosed continue, I was shocked to see I still have my points and hopefully the level counter havent been reset either.

Maybe the patch have made it possibly for us not to take those trophies in one 'sitting', it certainly looks like that..
