About this game:

General information, modes of play and overview comments:

 

Welcome to Switchball! In this nice game you are controlling a ball through a puzzle that needs to be solved to complete each level. In the offline modes you need to finish 3 levels to unlock the next world, but you will be required to finish all the levels for the trophies.

 

There are offline and online modes:

 

Offline modes

In this mode you play through 6 levels in each world. The worlds are: Sky World, Ice World, Cave World, Cloudy World and Lava World. Each world has their own music and type of puzzles. The difficulty increases as you progress through the level. There is no multiplayer mode.

 

Online modes

There are two modes:

-Race: The first to complete the level wins

-Cooperative: In this you need to complete the level, but must work together with a friend.

 

This is a difficult game to 100% because for one trophy (Speedroller Master) you're required to get a gold medal on every level. But it is a short game if you can do the gold medals quickly. You'll need two playthroughs, one to complete the game and learn the levels and another to get the gold medals.

 

Roadmap Steps:

 

1st Step: Complete the online trophies

In this step you need to complete all the online trophies. You should find a partner in the boosting thread if you don't have one:

http://www.ps3trophies.org/forum/switchball/23545-trophy-boosting-thread.html

 

In this step you should get:

-Speedball Medal (B), Friendball Medal (S), Honor Medal (S)

 

2nd Step: Complete all the levels in offline mode

Four trophies are related to completing the different worlds (see the offline modes in the general comments), except for Cloudy World. Just complete all the levels without worrying about time medals because in doing this, you will learn the level and the best path for use in future gold medal runs.

 

In this step you should get:

-Marbleball Badge (B), Metalball Badge (B), Powerball Badge (B), Airball Badge (S)

 

3th Step: Clean up the missable trophy

The missable trophy, Spyglass, is the one where you have to find three hidden patches. Use the link in the guide for more information. It's important to do this before your medal runs because you won't have time to do this on a gold medal run.

 

4th Step: Beat all the gold and silver time medals

These are the most difficult trophies. Try to do the levels as quick as you can. I highly recommend that you do this with the timer activated. I also recommend that if you miss any part of a level or have trouble, replay the level and refer to the video link in the Speedroller Master trophy.

 

In this step you should get:

-Speedroller Rookie (B), Speedroller Trainee (B), Speedroller Expert (S), Speedroller Master (G)

 

With this and the trophy guide you will have the 100%. Enjoy it!

Find 3 hidden paths

You have to find 3 hidden paths. After you find one, you should recieve a message saying that you found a hidden path. If not, you won't recieve this.

 

This thread made by UraMallas of x360a is good if you can't find enough hidden paths:

Complete all cooperative levels

Complete all four cooperative levels. You need to be patient and coordinate with your partner if you want to complete the level. You can do this in online mode, so if you need a boosting partner check here:

http://www.ps3trophies.org/images/trophies/219/11.jpg Honor Medal (S)

Win 10 matched multiplayer races

Self-explanatory. You need to do this in online race mode, so if you need a boosting partner check here:

Collect a Gold Medal on All levels

This is by far the most difficult trophy in the game. Try to complete all the levels as quick as you possibly can. If you're having trouble, check the speedrun videos in this post:

Feedback? All the videos, with some exceptions, are basically useless since they were made with the PC version of the game which is completely different in many cases. For instance Lava World, Level 6 is a joke on the PC compared to the console (PS3 & Xbox) and I'm stuck on this one. I've been stuck there for an eternity.

 

Edit: Well seems the "Complaining on ps3trophies.org" always works when stuck on a trophy... ;)

In the speedrun videos, most of the levels are the same as the PS3 but I can't find there are some different levels. Sorry but I can't found any videos for the PS3.

And Deak-in, this is one of the first changes that I see when I put the videos.

 

Nearly all the later levels differ slightly. The last level is completely different at the start! I've looked too, and there are no console speedrun videos so don't worry about it.

The last level is the same but in the beginning there are a jump power that are not in the PS3. But the rest of the level is the same.

PS: I took the bad icon, but it's not bad

I'm stuck on Cloud World level 5 at about 1:22 into the video. The method the person in the video uses, you can't do that on the PSN version of the game because it is blocked off and I can't get past that part of the level any other way. :(

 

exactly... i tried for hrs to pass this part so if anyone has the trick please tell
