Hidden Trophy

Spoiler

Bronze Champion

Earn a bronze medal, or better, in every single player level (original content).

As with the other two "Champion" trophies, use a car that suits. Learn the shortcuts and the course, and you shouldn't struggle with any of the races.

Silver Champion

Earn a silver medal, or better, in every single player level (original content).

Much the same as Gold Champion, this will be achievable through finding the right car for you. Again, I recommend the Bullet. Remember to use all the shortcuts you can. These will give you te boost you need in the later competitions.

Hidden Trophy

Spoiler

Gold Champion

Earn a gold medal in every single player level (original content).

This isn't toohard. Before every race you can see what your record is on that particular race, so don't worry about keeping track. The further you get in the game, the more cars you unlock, so find a car that suits. I used the Bullet, and it worked well, but it is down to personal preference.

Demolition Master

Hit 15 objects in any single player level (original content). you must earn a bronze medal or higher in order to unlock the trophy.

This will no doubt come without trying, and come very early. There are objects dotted all over the place, and some increase your boost bar, so don't be shy to hit the objects, such as watermelons and bottles.

Air Time Expert

Get 75 seconds of air in any single player level (original content). you must earn a bronze medal or higher in order to unlock the trophy.

This can be tricky. And don't bother attempting it untill the last race stages. The tracks dont have enough jumps or length to get anywhere near 75 seconds. Wait until the Highway, and try. Jump off every ramp you see. Plus, since you need to come third at least, I highly recommend doing some tricks so you can use boost, as you lose alot of speed in the jumps.

Star Collector

Accumulate 270 stars in single player mode using your best score from each level (original content).

This isn't too bad, and you will get this or be very close to it by the time you have completed all the tricks. If you want to know your total, you have to manually add which is a bit of a pain. If you look through all the tracks and see a track with a low star count on it, do it again and just go crazy. It will not pose you any problems.

Trickster

Complete 15 air tricks in any single player level (original content). you must earn a bronze medal or higher in order to unlock the trophy.

Use the same tactics as Smash Cars Superstar and you will probably get this at the same time. It is fairly easy. If you are only going for the 15 tricks, and not the 30 stars too, just do 15 backflips. You can do them on a flat section so will be easy to get.

Lap Champ

Beat all base lap times in every single player level (original content).

This and Race Ace are the hardest trophies in the game in my opinion. Before a race, you can see what your best time is on the course and by pressing you can see what the base time is. This is the time to beat. You need to know the courses really well and the car. You need to take all the shortcuts too. Try and try again is the best advice. It is achievable. Remember that boosts help, but jumps rarely do, so aim more for boosts via the watermelons and bottles. Also, remember that if you drive under a moving car you get a full boost.

Luckily this is only for one lap, so you can practice on the first few, before really going for it.

Race Ace

Beat all base race times in every single player level (original content).

This and Lap Champ are the hardest trophies in the game in my opinion. This one just edges it in difficulty. In the early stages, it isn't too bad, but when you get to the Highway, it becomes a bit difficult. You need to do all the laps within the base Lap time to have a chance of beating the base Race time. The first lap, you can afford to be a second or two off the pace, but the next ones, you have to put in very fast AND consistent laps.

Same advice as before, use a fast car that you like and remember boost is your friend, big jumps aren't.

Smash Cars Superstar

Get 30 stars in one single player level (original content). you must earn a bronze medal or higher in order to unlock the trophy.

This isn't too hard. When you unlock a fast car like the Bullet, it becomes easier. Get a course you are good at and go for jumps at every oppurtunity. The best way to get stars is to backflip twice. It doesn't give you the most stars but is easy to land, and gives you alot of boost. The Highway seems to have the most jumps so try there.

Smart Driver

Find all the shortcuts in every single player level (original content). you must earn bronze medals or higher in order to unlock the trophy.

There are three courses that don't have any shorcuts, but the majority do. The advantage is that by the end of the game, you will realise that all the tracks link together in some way. So once you know the shorcut for a few of the races you will know them all. Ill list them below for you though.

Spoiler

Beach

Hopper (0)

Hornbook (0)

Fortress

Eight (2)
1 - After the first jump where you see frogs are about you will come down a steep hill. Stick to the right instead of the ramp follow it round to the beach.

2 - After entering and leaving the tunnel you will come up a hill to a ramp on the left. Stay right and go through the barriers for the other shortcut.

Eight Reverse (2)
1 - As this is the same as the last race its fairly easy but here is the descriptions. After the holey bridge you start going on a long right turn. After several seconds you will see a ramp. Stick to left and go through the box.

2 - When coming along the beach, when you see the decking taking you away from the beach, stay left and go up the hill.

Footbridge (2)
1 - After you start and turn left, go over the bumped bridge, and before going over the second, almost identical bridge, turn left towards the barriers. Smash through them and drive along the slightly difficult open platform.

2 - This is exactly the same shortcut as Eight Reverse number 1.

Harbor

Fishing (1)
1 - This shorcut is actually next to you at the starting line but you won't use it until the end. After you have driven down the long straight with the holes in the wood, you take a 180 turn to the left. Avoid the jump and just after, take a right into a big pile of barrels. That is the shortcut.

Fishing Reverse (1)
1 - Same as previous but you can take it at the very start. Just head left when you start and go through the barrels.

Circle (0)

Highway

Coast (3)
1 - The same as the first one on Eight Reverse. After the long right turn, stay left and smash through the box.

2 - Same as the first one on Footbridge, after going over the big bumped bridge veer left and go through the boxes.

3 - After going past the frogs, and driving towards the finishing line, aim for the grass patch on the left and avoid the trees, for the last shortcut.

Tunnels (2)
1 - This is the same as 3 in the last race, but in the opposite direction. When the race starts hug the right barriers and go through the grass patch.

2 - This is the same as the only shorcut on Fishing reverse. When you come down the long straight and take a sharp right, then halfway up turn left and slam the blue barrels.

Tunnels Reverse (2)
1 - This is the same as Fishing and the reverse of the previous track.

2 - This is the same as previous but when you go past the row of three cars parked on the left, turn sharp under the last one and go through the grass patch.

Isle(3)
1 - Same as the Tunnels shortcut. Just stay right and go over the grass.

2 - This is the same as Eight. After you see the frogs, hug the right wall and go under the platform.

3 - This is the same as Eight. After the steep incline stay right and break through the barriers.

Safe Driver

Complete all single player levels without crashing or using any respawns (original content).

This won't come quickly but isn't that hard. You can find out how many respawns you have used in the stats screen before a race by pressing . If you are trying to get 100% then this will come when going for Race Ace.
