/// Two Campaigns, One Trophy List: Sonic X Shadow Generations
Starter save for $50: max lives and Skill Points for the Skill Shop in Sonic Generations
Shadow Generations side: max Boss Gate Keys, Machine Parts and music, art and story keys
All 41 trophies across both games, on PS4 or PS5, from $15 with instant timestamps
Sonic X Shadow Generations is two full games behind one title screen, and the platinum wants both of them finished to the last collectible. On Sonic's side, Omochao's Skill Shop sells skills for Skill Points. On Shadow's side, boss gates stay shut without Boss Gate Keys, and White Space is full of locked Collection Boxes and loose Machine Parts. Our Sonic X Shadow Generations starter save stocks both campaigns at the start. The Sonic X Shadow Generations Platinum Trophy service covers the shared 41-trophy list.
The save costs $50. For Sonic Generations it has max lives and max Skill Points. For Shadow Generations it has max Boss Gate Keys, max Machine Parts and max music, art and story keys. It works on PS4 and PS5. The platinum can ride along as a checkout add-on: +$15 with instant timestamps or +$25 with real ones.

Sonic's Side: Skill Points And Lives
The Skill Shop sits in Sonic's White Space hub and takes Skill Points for Skills and extra lives. Clearing stages and Challenge Acts earns the points, and a higher rank pays more. New skills unlock as you clear Challenge Acts and collect Red Star Rings. With the points maxed, every skill can be bought the moment it appears, and you can build loadouts for Classic and Modern Sonic without saving up.
Lives only matter if you play with them. The remaster added a Challenge Tries setting that turns the life system on or off. Leave it on for the old-school feel, and a maxed life counter takes the pressure off the hardest acts.
Shadow's Side: Keys And Parts
Shadow Generations gives Shadow a 3D White Space hub in the style of Sonic Frontiers. Boss gates in White Space need Boss Gate Keys, which normally come from clearing a stage's challenge acts. The music, art and story keys are Collection Keys, marked with a note, a paint brush or a book. They open the 96 Collection Boxes around White Space, which hold music tracks, concept art and chapters of Shadow's history for the Collection Room. Machine Parts go to Orbot and Cubot, who need 80 of them to build an escape rocket and get back to Eggman.
What The Platinum Takes
Trophy guides rate it 4 out of 10 and put it near 30 hours in one playthrough of each campaign. Both sides want every stage restored, every boss beaten, an S Rank in every act and every Challenge Act cleared. Sonic's side alone has 90 Challenge Acts. The remaster added three hidden Chao to every act on top of the five Red Star Rings, so full collection usually takes several runs per stage.
The two infamous trophies are the no-damage final bosses. Can't Touch This wants the Time Eater beaten without a hit, and Untouchable asks the same against Devil Doom. Guides call the Devil Doom fight the easier of the two. The rarest trophy below the platinum is Shadow's all-collectibles sweep, (Hedge)Hogging It All Up!, held by about 1.3% of tracked players.
PS4 Or PS5
The collection has a PS4 trophy list and a PS5 trophy list, each with the same 41 trophies. Pick your console in the platform menu at checkout, and our team unlocks that list. The save works on both consoles, so tell us which one you play on.

FAQs
What is in the Sonic X Shadow Generations starter save?
Max lives and max Skill Points for Sonic Generations, and max Boss Gate Keys, Machine Parts and music, art and story keys for Shadow Generations. It costs $50 and works on PS4 and PS5.
Does the save cover both games in the collection?
Yes. The starter save stocks both campaigns: Skill Points and lives on Sonic's side, Boss Gate Keys, Collection Keys and Machine Parts on Shadow's.
Do lives even matter in the remaster?
Only if Challenge Tries is switched on. That setting turns the life system on or off, and with it on, a maxed counter keeps you from running dry in the hardest acts.
How long does the Sonic X Shadow Generations platinum take?
Trophy guides estimate about 30 hours, because it means finishing two games: every act at S Rank, every Challenge Act, all Red Star Rings, Chao, Collection Boxes and rocket parts. We complete the list in 2-24 hours.
Which trophies are the hardest?
Can't Touch This, beating the Time Eater without taking a hit, is the one most players dread. Untouchable asks the same against Devil Doom, and the S Rank golds for each campaign take practice.
Which trophy list do you unlock, PS4 or PS5?
The one you choose in the platform menu at checkout. Both versions carry the same 41 trophies, so pick the console your account plays on.
