Introduction:

Welcome to the Tinker Racers Trophy Guide!
The dream of 2 brothers has come to reality! Tinker Racers is “a micromachines-like game for multiple players” that has you attached the second you start playing. Plenty of fun and difficulty to keep you engaged throughout you Campaign, with a challenging Time Attack for those that are ready to take on the developers times.

Currently Relevant for v1.00 – It is highly recommended that you play this game in one sitting, as my progress in Time Attack & Single Race was reset after starting the game up again. This has been reported to the Developers & Publishers.

Roadmap:

Step 1: Introduction Race
Play through the Introduction/Tutorial Race to learn about the mechanics and how to score points etc. This will teach you everything you need to know about before heading into the main game.

You’ll be earning these trophies:
Just Scored
I Got It
Perfect Victory

Step 2: Multiplayer/CoOp Trophies
Here you will need 4 controllers in order to obtain  Unbeatable Squad. All the Multiplayer trophies need to be obtained within Campaign, so would suggest that you quickly knock them out on the first Campaign race to make them as easy as possible.
These trophies do not stack, so you will need to complete 3 individual races in order to get all 3 trophies.

During this step you’ll earn these trophies:
Score: 5000
Unbeatable Duo
 Unbeatable Trio
 Unbeatable Squad

Step 3: Campaign Mode
In order to unlock the tracks required for the Single Races & Time Attack you will need to play through the Campaign Mode first. Here you will compete in 18 races over 3 different types of rooms. As you progress the game will get progressively harder, however there is not too much to worry about here.
The object of the events here is to get far enough in the lead so that the AI disappear off of the screen and you will score. Be the first to 5 points and the race is over.
You will also be awarded points based on how much life you have remaining, and the final score, which will be needed for your journey to Score: 50000.

During this step you’ll earn the following trophies:
Nailed The Bedroom
Lights Off
Kitchen Master
Nailed The Kitchen
Office Master
Nailed The Office

And probably:
Score: 10000

Step 4: Single Races
The next 2 steps can be completed in any order, however I would suggest the races first as these can serve as a reminder of the tracks prior to starting the Time Attacks (which is the hardest part of the road to Platinum). 
All you will need to do is win the a 5 lap race at each of the 18 tracks to earn yourself some more points towards Score: 50000.
These are purely races and there is no need to destroy enemies etc.

During this step you’ll earn the following trophies:
Little Racer
Big Little Racer

And probably:
Score: 15000
Score: 20000
Score: 25000
Score: 30000

Step 5: Time Attack
During this step you will need to beat the best times that the developers could manage in all 18 tracks to obtain The Best Of The Best. This is a nice blend of difficulty introduced into an otherwise relatively easy game.

During this step you’ll earn the following trophies:
 Starting My Training
Mastering It
Training Hard
The Best Of The Best

And probably:
Score: 35000
 Score: 40000
Score: 45000
Score: 50000

Step 6: Miscellaneous
This step is only needed if you have not obtained any of the trophies below. Feel free to check out the relevant trophy descriptions if you are missing any.

During this step you’ll earn the following trophies:
 Destroyer
Owl Eyes
Pilot Expert
Phoenix
Platinum Trophy

Perfect Victory 5 x 0 win in campaign mode

Nailed The Bedroom Finish all tracks of the Bedroom in campaign mode

You will need to win all 6 races within the Bedroom layout by scoring 5 points against the AI. The game pits yourself (And your teammates) directly against all the AI in the screen, so be wary that all the AI will be gunning for you.
Tracks are unlocked when you have won the previous, so it is easy to track which events you have won previously.

Lights Off Unlock Dark Mode

Dark mode is unlocked after winning Kitchen Track 1. As soon as you have done this you’ll be able to go for Lights Off.

Nailed The Kitchen Finish all tracks of the Kitchen in campaign mode

Kitchen Master Win any track of the Kitchen in campaign mode without dying or falling

The trophy description says it all; you will need to “win any track of the Kitchen in campaign mode without dying or falling”. This can be obtained in any of the 6 tracks in the Kitchen layout, however it is easier to do whilst on Kitchen Track 1. 
If you do not obtain this after completing all 6 races in this layout then head into Kitchen Track 1 and repeat until you have managed to nail it.

Unbeatable Duo Win any track in Campaign Mode with 2 players

You will need to add a second controller in order to obtain this trophy. Whilst the game is fun in CoOperative Mode, there is no real need to race with the second controller if you do not want to.
As with the single player trophies the game pits yourself (And your teammates) directly against all the AI in the screen, so you can easily still win if your second player does not move.

This is easiest on Bedroom Track 1.

Phoenix Win any track in Campaign mode with less than 5% of health

You may earn this trophy automatically, however as stated in the description you will need to win any track in Campaign mode with less than 5% of health. This can be obtained within any track layout and is probably the easiest on Bedroom Track 1. 

Whilst going for this try not too speed too far in front otherwise you will score too quickly and not have enough chance to damage yourself. 

Unbeatable Trio Win any track in Campaign Mode with 3 players

You will need to add a 2 more controllers in order to obtain this trophy. Whilst the game is fun in CoOperative Mode, there is no real need to race with the other controllers if you do not want to.
As with the single player trophies the game pits yourself (And your teammates) directly against all the AI in the screen, so you can easily still win if your other players do not move.

This is easiest on Bedroom Track 1.

Office Master Win any track of the Office in campaign mode without dying or falling

The trophy description says it all; you will need to “win any track of the Office in campaign mode without dying or falling”. This can be obtained in any of the 6 tracks in the Office layout, however it is easier to do whilst on Office Track 1. 
If you do not obtain this after completing all 6 races in this layout then head into Office Track 1 and repeat until you have managed to nail it.

Owl Eyes Win any track in Dark Mode

You will need to earn Lights Off prior to attempting this trophy. Dark mode is exactly that and makes the race so much harder with just headlights as your guide. Take as much time as you can with this one and focus on the outline of the track more than your opponents.

It is recommended to go for this trophy on Bedroom Track 1 and in order to switch to Dark Mode you will need to switch the light off from the Main Menu.

Unbeatable Squad Win any track in Campaign Mode with 4 players

You will need to add a 3 more controllers in order to obtain this trophy. Whilst the game is fun in CoOperative Mode, there is no real need to race with the other controllers if you do not want to.
As with the single player trophies the game pits yourself (And your teammates) directly against all the AI in the screen, so you can easily still win if your other players do not move.

This is easiest on Bedroom Track 1.

Score: 15000 Score more than 15000 points

See Score: 50000.

Destroyer Win by breaking a bot

You will completely remove all life from one of the AI opponents during Campaign mode for this trophy. Simply start up Bedroom Track 1 and proceed to keep pushing your opponent into the obstacles. 
No damage is done to the opponent by hitting them, so you will need to take your time and keep trying to push them offline.

Mastering It Beat any developer’s record in Time Attack Mode

See The Best Of The Best.

Training Hard Set a record in all tracks in Time Attack Mode

This will be obtained automatically whilst going for The Best Of The Best. You do not need to set below any specific time for this trophy, as it will register as a record once you have completed your first lap.

Big Little Racer Win all tracks in Single Race Mode

All you will need to do is win the a 5 lap race at each of the 18 tracks to earn yourself some more points towards Score: 50000. These are purely races and there is no need to destroy enemies etc.

Little Racer Win a track in Single Race Mode

Obtained by winning your first race on any track during Single Race Mode.
See Big Little Racer.

Pilot Expert Win any track of the Office in Campaign Mode with more than 95% of health

This one can be a little annoying, however being as we have 4 controllers available for Unbeatable Squad we have a way to cheese it with the help of your teammates blocking the AI.

If you have 4 controllers connected you will start the first race at the front of the pack, so race out in front and make sure not to hit anything.
After scoring your first point do not move for the next restart so that you lose a point straight away and start at the front for the next restart. Repeat these steps to win the event 5-4.

Each race you win whilst in Single Race Mode will net you 1,000 points. You will also be awarded 1,000 points for every developers’ record beaten in Time Attack Mode.

You can check your points total by going to the Leader Board from the Main Menu.

The Best Of The Best Beat all developers’ records in Time Attack Mode

This is where it gets tough. The developers set their best times in each track layout and it is now your objective to beat them.
The developers were somewhat generous here, as I believe they stuck to the racing line the whole way round, unlike us, we’re going to cheat…..

On most track layouts there are a number of corners that can be cut slightly in order to achieve a faster time. It is crucial that you take your time to understand the track and where you can push the limits of the racing line, as most of them have a certain area that can really be beneficial to cut.
If you are clever enough you can also manipulate the obstacles by pushing them out of the way to give yourself a bigger chance of beating the times.

Once you have manipulated your new track layout it is now time to keep running the track over and over to obtain a quicker time than the developers.

Starting My Training Set a record in Time Attack Mode

This will be obtained automatically whilst going for The Best Of The Best. You do not need to set below any specific time for this trophy, as it will register as a record once you have completed your first lap.
