Introduction:

 

Welcome to Super Monkey Ball: Banana Splitz! If you are a fan of Monkey Ball, or looking to take an interest in the series, then you have picked up the right game, as this game is known to be the series' redemption for past disappointing titles. This is the first Super Monkey Ball game to hit the Playstation and luckily for us it's on the Vita so we can take it on the go! AiAi and friends are back and they're ready to roll. Using the left stick or even the Vita's motion sensor, roll through over 100 levels, each being unique in it's own way. Play with friends or solo in Party Mode featuring classic Monkey Ball mini-games such as Monkey Target! Get ready for some tough challenges ahead, and a tough platinum. This game may seem cute, but the platinum is not to be taken lightly. This game is not for the feint of heart as the 3 gold trophies will be your greatest threats in your run for the platinum.

 

Step 1 - Playthrough Challenge Mode Normally

 

The game itself has 100 levels to play through. In this step you will be going into Challenge Mode and just playing through the game normally. Get acquainted with the controls and learn the techniques used throughout various levels. There are 4 courses to play through and they get progressively harder. Beginner has 10 levels, Normal has 30 levels, Advanced has 50 levels, and Master has 10 levels. Be sure to switch characters after you get their respective trophy relating to 250 plays. Chances are that you'll have all character trophies by the end of this step since both successes and failures count. You may start to work on Super Monkey Master if you'd like, but I recommend saving that for after you've played Challenge Mode completely. Remember to be careful as the later levels can get pretty difficult. You'll most likely be obtaining other miscellaneous trophies in this step such as retrying 10 times, hitting 100 bumpers, collecting 100 extra lives, and many others.

 

Step 2 - Challenge Mode without Continues & Motion Sensor

 

Now that you've finished Challenge Mode, you should begin your run through each course without using continues. If you're experienced in Monkey Ball then you'll most likely have Beginner and Normal done on your first try. Advanced and Master are where the true challenges await. Advanced is difficult mainly because you have 50 straight levels to play through. Master is a bit more lenient with only 10 levels, but they are pretty difficult, so there's a bit of a trade-off. Practice Mode will be your saving grace here. It is an invaluable tool to use for this step. Check under Super Monkey Master for more tips and advice. After completing all levels without using a continue, I advise you switch to motion sensor controls and play through all challenges again (except master) to earn Motion Simian.

 

Step 3 - Collect Bananas & find every Warp Gate

 

After you have finished Challenge Mode with no continues in each course, you can now focus on collecting every banana and finding all the warp gates. Simply head into Practice Mode and start from the first level then work your way up. You'll know you have collected every banana in a level when the banana emblem appears on the level in Level Select. Unfortunately, the same does not occur for warp gates. You will have to keep track of those yourself. However, under the trophy Hide-and-Seek Monkey you will find a list of every level containing a warp goal. If you've followed these steps so far, you are done with the hardest aspects of the game!

 

Step 4 - Party Mode

 

This is not too tough, but can be frustrating at certain points. It's nowhere near the difficulty of Challenge Mode, but you may struggle in certain areas. Now, you will be switching from Challenge Mode to Party Mode. Here you will be playing the various games and meeting the requirements for each trophy. Every game has two trophies associated with it. There is Monkey Rodeo, Monkey Bingo, Monkey Bowling, Number Ball, Love Maze, Battle Billiards, Pixie Hunt, and the always wonderful Monkey Target.

 

Step 5 - Edit Mode

 

If you've followed the roadmap so far, you're nearly there! Now all you have left is Edit Mode. This is simple as all you need to do is take a photo, shake the Vita, and a level is created! There are various trophies relating to this mode so check under them individually if you need assistance. This mode is pretty straightforward so you shouldn't need too much help. When you create a level you do not need to complete it for it to count. Just fail the level and go back to the menu. This is a fast way to get the 100 needed for Edit Anniversary.

 

Step 6 - Clean up

 

There shouldn't be anything else left if you've followed the guide because chances are you will be unlocking A LOT of the miscellaneous trophies along the way through challenge mode. However, if you are missing something now is the time to get it. Whether you need some more plays with a character, beat a level with 0 seconds, beat 10 levels in less than 10 seconds, etc. Simply head into Practice Mode and do it!

 

Conclusion:

 

The platinum for this game is not something that you will be achieving overnight. While it is technically possible, you would have to be a Super Monkey Ball legend to do it. That being said, the game is not impossible to beat. If you take the time to practice and play the game right, you will have an awesome new platinum that you can be proud of. This game is very fun and is a great addition to any Super Monkey Ball fan's, or puzzle game fan's, collection.

You earned all other trophies!

 

Earn all other trophies to obtain this very elusive platinum.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1360/F24.jpg Beginner Course World 1 Clear (B)

Cleared Monkey Ball Beginner Course World 1!

 

Enter Challenge Mode and select the Beginner Course. This course consists of only 1 world so that means 10 levels in total. This is the Beginner Course which was designed for you to learn about the game and obtain a basic understanding of Super Monkey Ball and all the various objects you will see. These levels are beyond easy and you also have 3 continues anyway, so you should have no trouble with this.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1360/1BF.jpg Normal Course World 1 Clear (B)

Cleared Monkey Ball Normal Course World 1!

 

Please refer to the trophy Normal Course World 3 Clear

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1360/6E9.jpg Normal Course World 2 Clear (B)

Cleared Monkey Ball Normal Course World 2!

 

Please refer to the trophy Normal Course World 3 Clear

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1360/708.jpg Normal Course World 3 Clear (S)

Cleared Monkey Ball Normal Course World 3!

 

Enter Challenge Mode and select the Normal Course. This course consists of 3 worlds which means 30 levels in total. If you are just starting out, you will have only 3 continues. This course was designed to show you the basic layout of the levels you'll be seeing and provide a moderate challenge. These levels are very simple so 3 continues should be more than enough for you to clear the course. After Beating this course you will unlock 9 continues!

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1360/9CB.jpg Advanced Course World 1 Clear (B)

Cleared Monkey Ball Advanced Course World 1!

 

Please refer to the trophy Advanced Course World 5 Clear

Cleared Monkey Ball Advanced Course World 2!

 

Please refer to the trophy Advanced Course World 5 Clear

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1360/07B.jpg Advanced Course World 3 Clear (B)

Cleared Monkey Ball Advanced Course World 3!

 

Please refer to the trophy Advanced Course World 5 Clear

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1360/D8B.jpg Advanced Course World 4 Clear (B)

Please refer to the trophy Advanced Course World 5 Clear

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1360/C4B.jpg Advanced Course World 5 Clear (S)

Cleared Monkey Ball Advanced Course World 5!

 

Enter Challenge Mode and select the Advanced Course. This course consists of 5 worlds meaning a total of 50 levels can be found in this course. This is where the real challenge begins. If you have beaten the Normal Course, then you will have 9 continues available to you for this course. Chances are that you will fail this course a few times. The levels get increasingly harder and very unforgiving. A minor slip up can cost you a life and even your playthrough. Just remember that whenever you reach a level, it becomes unlocked in Practice Mode. So if you get stuck on a certain spot, practice it until you can learn how to get through it. After beating this course, you will unlock infinite continues and the Master Course!

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1360/3C1.jpg Monkey Master (S)

Cleared Monkey Ball Master Course!

 

The Master Course will only be unlocked after you complete the Advanced Course. Enter Challenge Mode and select Master Course. This course consists of 1 world meaning 10 levels in total. These courses will test your limits and your patience. In the beginning they will appear extremely tough and may seem impossible, but stick through it. It will all come with time. You have unlimited continues so there won't be a need for Practice Mode to earn this trophy.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1360/2E4.jpg Super Monkey Master (G)

Cleared all Monkey Ball stages with no continues!

 

This trophy will be the biggest obstacle between you and your platinum. You need to be able to clear every course without using a single continue. Beginner and Normal are simple, but Advanced and Master are a whole different story. You are going to get frustrated a lot while going for this trophy, and you may feel like giving up, but with persistence it is possible. Here are some tips:

 

Practice Makes Perfect: Practice Mode is your friend, not your enemy. It may seem like a time waster, but it is an invaluable tool that should be used when needed. Whenever you fail at a level (meaning you lost all your lives) save the game then head into practice. My method was practicing a level until I could complete it 3 times consecutively without dying. Then I felt I would be ready to take on the actual thing in Challenge Mode. Feel free to use this method.

 

Risk-Reward: If you have ever played a Super Monkey Ball title before Banana Splitz you will know what I am talking about here. Super Monkey Ball is a game that highly revolves around risk-reward options. Bananas are scattered, but for most levels they are in dangerous spots that can make you fall out of bounds if you are not careful. If you are successful then you have some bananas to add towards an extra life, but if you fail then you may find that those bananas were not worth it. Your job is to assess the risk versus the reward. Are those bananas really worth the trouble of navigating that difficult path? Know what you can and cannot do. If you feel worried, then don't do it. A Warp Gate can skip the following level, but if you're not precise, they can cost you a life. (Personally, I never used a warp gate until after I acquired this trophy) Knowing when to take a risk and knowing when to stay away is important. Don't take a path that makes the level significantly harder if you only get 2 or 3 extra bananas for it.

 

Go Bananas: Bananas are going to be your best ally in this game. During the early levels, I suggest you collect what you can because during the later levels, bananas are going to be very hard to come by unless you're a huge risk taker. (Even then, the later levels usually only reward you with a few bananas so it's not even worth the trouble.) 30 bananas will earn you an extra life. So when you start out, start grabbing what you can because one life can mean the difference between success and failure of the course.

 

Bonus Levels: Bonus levels are your grace period between the chaos of the course. Bonus levels are the levels you should have down solid because while they may not take away lives, they do earn you some! Every world has a bonus level in the middle. This means worlds 1-5, 2-5, 3-5, 4-5, 5-5, & 6-5 are all bonus levels. Bonus levels all contain 50 bananas. That's one full life and 2/3 of another life! The bonus levels are not hard, but 5-5 & 6-5 can be tricky if you don't know what you are doing. Just be sure to practice them a lot to the point that you can earn perfect on them almost every time.

 

Later Levels beat earlier levels: Many of the same obstacles can be found in various levels. An example is the balance board found in world 2 then brought back in world 5. If you can beat the later levels that use the balance board then practice those more because, since they are harder, you'll have more experience with it and will be able to do the earlier levels involving the balance board easier. I practiced levels on world 5 and found myself doing earlier levels that involved the same obstacles easier.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1360/AA5.jpg Motion Simian (G)

Clear all Monkey Ball stages in Beginner, Normal and Advanced using motion sensor controls!

 

Unless you really like the motion sensor better than the left stick I suggest you save this for after you finish the Advanced Course so you will have infinite continues. I say this because the motion controls on the Vita are not always the best. You need to make sure you're in a leveled area, and then tilt the system accordingly for where you wish to roll. It can get very difficult unless you are used to the motion sensor. Luckily, this can be done in Practice Mode. You will see a little emblem with the Vita and two arrows when you've beaten a level with motion sensor controls.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1360/278.jpg Banana Master (G)

Collected all bananas in all Monkey Ball stages!

 

For this trophy you can go into Practice Mode and select the levels you need bananas on. When you see a small emblem with bananas on the level, that means you have found all bananas on that level. This is a combination between practice & challenge. Meaning that you can use both modes, you do not only have to choose one. If you find all the bananas on a level in challenge mode, you will not have to do it again if you're using practice mode.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1360/5E5.jpg Goal Anniversary (B)

Cleared 100 Monkey Ball stages!

 

There are 100 levels in Challenge Mode altogether so this will come naturally. It will most likely come earlier as there is an extremely low probability you will be completing each level on your first go. The same level does count toward this trophy. So you could beat Beginner level 1-1 100 times if you wanted.

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1360/D2A.jpg Just-in-Time Monkey (B)

Reached the goal in a Monkey Ball stage with 0 seconds left!

 

This may or may not come naturally, as it did for me. To earn this trophy the timer has to have reached 0 and your monkey must roll through the goal. After the timer hits 0:00 you have about an extra 2-3 seconds before you get a time expired. Make sure your monkey is rolling in the direction of the goal and passes through because after the timer hits 0:00 you will no longer have control over the monkey ball.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1360/C4A.jpg Hide-and-Seek Monkey (S)

Passed through all Monkey Ball warp goals!

 

Monkey Ball warp goals are hidden goals that, when passed through, allow you to skip the following level and proceed to the one after it. Most of the time they are hidden in hard to reach places that can cause you to fall out of bounds unless you know how to get to them. Luckily, like the bananas, this can be done in Practice Mode. The levels that contain warp goals are:

-Beginner 1-6

-Normal 1-8

-Normal 2-7

-Normal 3-8

-Advanced 1-3

-Advanced 1-7

-Advanced 2-3

-Advanced 3-8

-Advanced 4-3

-Advanced 5-1

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1360/D47.jpg Falling Monkey (B)

You fell off 100 times in Monkey Ball!

 

This will most likely come naturally as this game takes a lot of trial-and-error to complete. Falling off the level will result in an out of bounds which you need 100 of for this trophy. If you are in a rush, simply find a level with no wall barriers and roll off 100 times.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1360/76A.jpg Banana Boycott (B)

You cleared a Monkey Ball stage without collecting any bananas!

 

This may also come naturally as you may not want to go for bananas on certain levels due to danger. I got this on Advanced level 2-4 since bananas are out of the way in the corners.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1360/1D7.jpg I Love AiAi (B)

You played Monkey Ball with AiAi 250 times!

 

Simply play as AiAi 250 times. Successes and failures both count so you should have this trophy relatively quickly. Playing as AiAi 250 times will unlock Tin AiAi as a playable character.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1360/789.jpg I My MeeMee (B)

You played Monkey Ball with MeeMee 250 times!

 

Simply play as MeeMee 250 times. Successes and failures both count so you should have this trophy relatively quickly. Playing as MeeMee 250 times will unlock Block MeeMee as a playable character.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1360/FDA.jpg Funky Baby Monkey (B)

You played Monkey Ball with Baby 250 times!

 

Simply play as Baby 250 times. Successes and failures both count so you should have this trophy relatively quickly. Playing as Baby 250 times will unlock Cardboard Baby as a playable character.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1360/9DE.jpg Go Go GonGon (B)

You played Monkey Ball with GonGon 250 times!

 

Simply play as GonGon 250 times. Successes and failures both count so you should have this trophy relatively quickly. Playing as GonGon 250 times will unlock Clay GonGon as a playable character.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1360/81A.jpg Bumper Boss (B)

You crashed into a 100 bumpers!

 

Chances are that you'll get this naturally because bumpers are some of the most frequent and nastiest obstacles in the game. They appear throughout many courses so pick any level containing them and just roll into them. Advanced level 3-9 is probably your best bet as you have the chance to bump into multiple bumpers at once.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1360/CEE.jpg Monkey Express (B)

You ran at top speed for 5 seconds in Monkey Ball!

 

Many levels require you to run at top speed in order to clear it, so this will most likely come naturally. Advanced 1-8 is where I acquired this since you are running downhill the entire time.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1360/D53.jpg Supersonic Monkey (S)

You cleared 10 stages in 10 seconds or less in Monkey Ball!

 

This requires a little more effort than most miscellaneous trophies since it must be 10 different levels. This is good to do on most of the earlier levels since they are easy and short. However, many of the later levels can be done easily if you go fast and are precise, so this trophy should not take up too much of your time.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1360/FBA.jpg Never Give Up (B)

You retried 10 times in Monkey Ball!

 

A retry is when you lose all your lives then choose to continue. This will most likely come through natural play since the later Advanced levels and Master levels are very tough. If not then just continue 10 times in challenge mode. It does not need to be done all at once, this trophy is cumulative throughout the entire game.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1360/E64.jpg Travelogue (B)

You saved 10 instances of Monkey Ball replay data!

 

There are 16 save slots but you only need 10 for this. Anything can be saved whether it be a success or failure. As it is showing the replay simply tap Save and save it to one of the slots. Save 9 other replays in 9 other save slots and this trophy is yours.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1360/AE4.jpg 100UP (B)

You got 100 extra monkeys in Monkey Ball!

 

An extra monkey is earned when you collect 30 bananas. This will come naturally since bananas are a key element to the game and practically a necessity if you wish to complete all levels without using a continue. This trophy is cumulative throughout Challenge Mode.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1360/A63.jpg Countdown Competitor (B)

You cleared 10 Monkey Ball stages in the last 10 seconds!

 

This may come naturally because many levels have you race against the clock. You'll see that some levels are simple yet take awhile to beat making time the obstacle rather than objects. If that does not work then simply wait near the goal of 10 different levels until the timer reaches ten seconds left then go through the goal.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1360/880.jpg Mountain Climber (B)

You uploaded a high score!

 

This is the only online trophy as you need an internet connection to be able to upload your high score. Make sure you've completed a level, then go to High Scores on the main menu. Select register score and after loading, your score should be registered and the trophy should pop. You will get notifications saying you are registered to the weekly ranks, monthly ranks, and ranks of a specific area.

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1360/8B3.jpg Hard Shaker (B)

You shook a lot in Edit Mode!

 

Easy enough. Head to Edit Mode, select create a stage, use :r1: to take a photo, tap create stage, then shake the Vita. Afterwards you will be asked to finalize the stage or shake harder. Choose shake harder and the trophy will unlock when you finish.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1360/30B.jpg Photographer (B)

You retook pictures in Edit Mode 5 times!

 

In Edit Mode, after taking a picture with :r1:, hit the back arrow to retake the photo. Repeat this 4 more times for the trophy.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1360/736.jpg Edit Anniversary (B)

You created 100 edit stages!

 

This trophy is a bit time consuming but in no way hard. Simply go through the process of creating a level 100 times. You do not need to save it. Just make the level, fail it (or beat it if you wish), and go back to the menu. Do this 99 more times and you will unlock this trophy.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1360/CF0.jpg Editor-in-Chief (B)

You've saved as many edited stages as possible!

 

Similar to the replay save trophy except you need to fill all 16 slots of saved stages. After creating the level, beat it or fail it, then tap save to save it to a slot. Do this for all 16 slots and the trophy will unlock.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1360/768.jpg Excellent Point (B)

You landed a 500-point location in Monkey Target!

 

This can be a bit difficult. Monkey target is a party game where you launch your character off a ramp and hit :circle: to glide and collect points. You glide until you reach the target zone island then you have to hit :circle: again to close the ball and roll onto a number which is counted into your score. For this trophy, when landing on the target zone, you need to stop on the red dot in the middle. You're best bet is to get a round where the wind is blowing backwards of you. Try to land a little bit before you reach the 500 area and do a small roll onto the spot.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1360/426.jpg Target Master (B)

You got 1000 points in a single round of Monkey Target!

 

This is pretty much earned with Excellent Point. You should be flying through the rings before you hit the landing zone so you can earn more points. The rings add to your score depending on where you land. There are also bananas you can collect to give you points but they're only 10 points at most and they're so out of the way it really isn't worth it. At the end of the 3 rounds if you have 1000 points or more then this trophy will unlock.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1360/77D.jpg Banana Sheriff (B)

You got 30 bananas in Monkey Rodeo!

 

Monkey Rodeo is a party game where you are on a bouncing horse and you must use the :touchpad: to navigate the arena and collect bananas. By holding the :touchpad: you can charge at another player to steal their bananas. This trophy simply requires you to collect 30 bananas in a game. When you begin just collect all bananas in the arena and try to knock some out of the opponents. Bananas will reappear after a short period of time so try to grab those as well.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1360/833.jpg Banana Bandit (B)

You stole 15 bananas in Monkey Rodeo!

 

In monkey rodeo you can steal bananas from your opponents by holding the :touchpad: and hitting them. Make sure to charge opponents enough times to get 15 bananas and this trophy is all yours.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1360/EAA.jpg Bingo! (B)

You got a bingo in Monkey Bingo!

 

Monkey Bingo is a party game where the field has slots, and by falling in a slot you claim it as yours. Getting five slots in a row, column, or diagonal will land you a bingo. The winner is determined by whoever has the most points by the end of the time or when all slots are filled. There is also a balloon that, when grabbed, you will get a special ability. This trophy requires you to get a bingo which should not be difficult. I suggest going for the bottom row since the CPU never seems to go down there unless they are the only available slots.

 

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1360/A54.jpg Bingo! Bingo! (B)

You got two bingos in a single game of Monkey Bingo!

 

This is a bit more difficult than the previous Monkey Bingo trophy. For this trophy, you will need to get two monkey bingos in one game. You will need to be fast. Whenever you see the balloon make sure to grab it because you may sometimes get the "Eviction" ability which allows you to bump an opponent's ball out of a slot and claim it for yourself. This trophy may take a few attempts, but is not too hard. I suggest going for the bottom two rows, or the bottom row & left column.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1360/8AF.jpg Pro Monkey Bowler (B)

You got a turkey in a regular lane in Monkey Bowling!

 

Monkey Bowling is a party game where you use your monkey ball as a bowling ball to knock over the pins. After throwing the ball you can tilt the Vita to move around the lane and adjust yourself while rolling. This trophy will be a bit difficult because a Turkey in bowling is 3 consecutive strikes. For this trophy you will need to be playing on a regular course, which is just a regular straightforward lane. I suggest you do the slowest roll you can and tilt the Vita so that your ball will hit the front pin with its side and then roll over the others on that side. For example, after rolling the ball I will adjust myself so I am on the left of the front pin. I will hit the pin with the right side of the ball then quickly tilt the Vita left to roll over any other pins on the left side. What this essentially does is allow the front pin to knock over the right side pins, while I use the ball to knock over the left side pins.

 

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1360/2C8.jpg Pro Irregubowler (B)

You got a turkey in an abnormal lane in Monkey Bowling!

 

This is probably the hardest trophy among the party game related ones. You need to get 3 consecutive strikes in monkey bowling while playing on the abnormal lanes. These lanes are basically monkey ball levels in the form of bowling lanes. Some are easy to navigate while others are hard. I suggest going for this trophy in the earlier lanes since they are easier and you have a less chance of falling out of bounds. Use the method I described in Pro Monkey Bowler but make sure to adjust yourself to navigate the lane as well.

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/1360/D31.jpg Perfect Primate (B)

You got to ten in a row in Number Ball without any mistakes!

 

Number Ball is a simple party game where you are given a bunch of balls with numbers rolling on the screen, and must tap the one that appears overhead. I suggest playing the regular way so you won't have to constantly check what the next number is. You just have to count up from one. For this trophy you must get ten correct balls in a row. If you get the X on your screen then that means you tapped the wrong ball. This trophy should not be too difficult, but just be sure to look closely at the ball you're going to tap to make sure it is the right one.

You got 50 correct in one round of Number Ball!

 

For this trophy I also recommend using the regular number mode so you won't have to constantly check overhead. You must tap 50 correct numbers in a game of number ball before the time runs out. If you're using the regular number mode then that means you will need to get to 50 before the time is up. Make sure you tap the numbers in correct order, as incorrect answers will bar you from tapping for a few seconds. Be quick and precise, and this trophy is all yours.

Both characters reached the goal simultaneously in Love Maze!

 

Love Maze is a party game that acts as a simplified version of monkey ball. You select two characters and you must navigate them to their goal using the left stick and right stick. You must also be careful because if the characters are separated too far apart, the connection will break and you will fail. For this trophy you must make sure both characters reach the goal at the same time. Simply guide them until they are near the goal, get them both on the edge of the goal line, then hit the left & right stick up at the same time so they will both finish together.

You got a synchronization rating of 200% in Love Maze!

 

This trophy may be a little confusing for some. When playing Love Maze, you may notice a heart at the center of the connection line. That is the key to this trophy. I suggest you navigate the course in a way that keeps the heart as big as possible. The more distant the characters, the smaller the heart. The heart must be on the screen at all times in order to obtain this trophy. Otherwise, your synchronization rate will be below 200%. I suggest doing this on the first course as it is the easiest and allows you to keep the characters close together for a large part of it.

You dropped two balls in one shot in Battle Billiards!

 

Battle Billiards is a party game that basically plays like pool. The object is to shoot your ball into your opponents to knock them into the hole. This trophy requires you to knock two balls from your opponents into the holes. This can get tricky because sinking two balls can be a challenge unless you know where to shoot. Your best option is to wait until two of your opponents balls are near a hole then aim to sink both of them, just make sure you shoot the ball at a good angle to sink them both at once.

You sunk one monkey ball from each team in a match of Battle Billiards!

 

This trophy requires you to sink a ball from each opponent. There are a total of four players in a game of Battle Billiards. There is red, blue, green, and yellow. You are player red so your objective here, is to sink a ball from green, blue, and yellow. After that, this trophy is all yours.

You got 10 pixies to appear in one shot in Pixie Hunt!

 

Pixie Hunt is a party game that utilizes the camera feature of the Vita. You will be given a random colored focus. Your goal is to take a picture of something that has a similar color to the focus so pixies will appear. The better the picture, the more that pixies appear. You will then need to tap the pixies on the screen to gain points. You can drag your fingers across several pixies to chain them and get more points. For this trophy you need to take a picture good enough to earn at least 10 pixies. I suggest getting a white piece of computer paper then waiting until you get the white focus. Take a picture in a well lit area so the white can be easily distinguished and you should get 10 or more pixies on the screen.

You got a chain of 10 or more in Pixie Hunt!

 

For this trophy you will need to take a picture good enough to get 10 or more pixies to appear then chain them by dragging your finger on the screen. Use the white computer paper method mentioned in Picture Perfect to get 10 pixies to appear. Then, carefully chain them together. Be careful because if one of the non-pixies go over a chain line, the chain will break and you will have to try again with a different photo. I suggest waiting until the majority of the pixies get to one side then chain them. Once a pixie is chained it will not move. After that, carefully chain the remaining amount you need for the trophy.

I just started this game because it gives a ultra rare platinum, I must say I fell in love with it. It is so difficult it gives me back the real 'gamers experience' which i havent experienced in so long. I would definitely say this cant be done in 5-20 hours though. Way too little. I can't wait to tackle it though!

 

Good luck all
