Minigame #4: Plunger Dunger
Section: Deeply Rooted
After riding the big blue catfish (unmissable story part) this minigame will be straight in front of you after a cutscene, in plain sight, basically unmissable because you spawn right in front of it.
Chapter 3: Rose’s Room

Inside the space elevator (where you float up), float near to the 1st level of portals but not all the way to the top. Just below the top is an opening in the wall with a hidden teleporter that leads to this minigame (just below the first set of 3 portals).
Minigame #7: Laser Tennis
Section: Spaced Out
After finishing the first 3 portals the space elevator (same you used to reach previous minigame) will take you up further to the 2nd level of portals. Similarly to before, there is an opening in the wall of the space elevator with a hidden portal to this minigame, just before you reach the second set of 3 portals.
Minigame #8: Rodeo

At the very start of this level go straight ahead all the way to the end until you can walk no further (don’t take the story path to the right!). The minigame is on top of some pillows.
Minigame #9: Feed the Reptile
Section: Hopscotch
After the first “sliding on rails” section in this level (where your partner must step on the images of animals to remove obstacles while you ride the rail). Immediately after you’re done with the rails go to the right to find the minigame. Don’t jump up the yellow bouncy pads yet, it’s just before those.
Minigame #10: Batting Team

Unmissable, you’ll automatically have to walk through this one on the linear story path. No way around this one, just continue the level and you’ll get it along the way.

Minigame #20: Snail Race
Section: Frog Pond
After you dismount the frogs and continue on foot, May will need to raise some platforms for Cody by using her water ability. Then both of you crawl through a short tunnel.

Minigame #22: Chess
Section: Setting the Stage (AFTER Rehearsal Section)
In “Setting the Stage” you must interact with the marked switch, which starts the next section “Rehearsal”. After beating that you come back to “Setting the Stage” which acts as the hub area of this chapter.

Minigame #23: Musical Chairs
Section: Setting the Stage (AFTER Rehearsal Section)
To the left of the previous chess minigame you can walk up some books. On top you can jump on a drum and then swing on some hooks to the other side of the room. The minigame is there in front of a blue radio. Actually a bit out of the way and better hidden than the other minigames here.
Minigame #24: Volleyball
Section: Symphony

Fried Friendship
Chapter: The Tree / Section: Captured
When you reach a circular platform with 8 red latches on it, where Cody must place explosive goo on all 8 latches so May can blow them up, take a little detour to check the path on the right. There’s a red “Start” button on a side path and when you approach it you’ll be told not to press it. For this you must press this button. This reveals a torture chamber, one of the two players gets sucked in and the trophy unlocks right away. Be sure to do this before destroying the 8 red latches of the aforementioned platform.
Note: Both players receive this trophy simultaneously.
Struck A Pose
Chapter: The Tree / Section: Deeply Rooted
After the Mortar Wasp Boss Fight you will come to a room with a camera setup. You need to stand in front of the stage (the stage shows squirrels and trees in the background). Then the 2nd player needs to take an image of you.
Note: Only the player being photographed will receive the trophy. The player taking the photo doesn’t get it but you can simply switch positions afterward and have player 1 take a picture of player 2.
Plastic Prison Breakers
Chapter: Rose’s Room / Section: Pillow Fort
Near the start of this section you’ll walk past a star lamp and then a flashlight. To the right of the flashlight you can jump up some pillows which lead to a plastic prison with 2 figurines in it. Both players must do a ground slam :x: + :circle: on the buttons in front of the figurines, at the same time. Then the figurines will say something and the trophy unlocks.
Note: Both players receive this trophy simultaneously.
Faraway Frequencies
Chapter: Rose’s Room / Section: Spaced Out
During this section you must go through several portals, each leading to a new miniworld. Inside the yellow portal jump on the first yellow bouncy pad on the right to get to the top of a tower of pillows. At the very top you find an antenna. Interact with it and move it around to scan for 4 different frequencies. Listen to all 4 and the trophy will unlock.
Note: Both players receive this trophy simultaneously. The next trophy “Look At Him Go” can be done right after this in the same yellow portal.
Look At Him Go
Chapter: Rose’s Room / Section: Spaced Out
During this section you must go through several portals, each leading to a new miniworld. Inside the yellow portal (same portal as “Faraway Frequencies” trophy) there is a blue ramp near the start. Have player 2 (red boy) catapult player 1 (blue girl) up the ramp. Then player 2 (red boy) must shrink themself to the smallest size :l2: and stand on the lower edge of the ramp. Player 1 (blue girl) jumps on the upper part of the ramp from above with a ground slam :x: + :circle: . This will catapult player 2 (red boy) up to the stars and unlocks the trophy.
Note: Both players receive this trophy simultaneously.
Break the Bank
Chapter: Rose’s Room / Section: Hopscotch
There’s a pig with 4 golden coins in front of it, to the left of the minigame “Batting Team”, which is unmissable on the main story path (no way around it, you’ll automatically walk into it and can’t miss it). Pick up the 4 golden coins that are in front of the pig and place them on the back of the pig. It will then roll over and you must jump on its belly to break the “piggy” bank. This unlocks the trophy.
Note: Only the player who destroys the piggy bank gets the trophy. You can restart the checkpoint from the pause menu afterward to redo it for the second player.
A Daring Devil
Chapter: Rose’s Room / Section: Hopscotch
At the very start of this level go straight ahead all the way to the end until you can walk no further (don’t take the story path to the right!). There is a toy car parked in front of a red ramp. One player must enter the car. The other must grab it from behind :triangle: and pull it back, aim the car at the red ramp and release it :circle: . The car has to jump through the ring that hangs over the red ramp for the trophy to unlock. You can’t pull it all the way back because then it will fly over the ring. Only pull it halfway back.
Note: In my case only the player who sat in the car and jumped through the ring got the trophy but others have reported it unlocked for both players simultaneously. Either way, you can switch positions afterward.
Snackosaurus
Chapter: Rose’s Room / Section: Dino Land
During this section you will be in a room with a tall dinosaur toy. One player must jump on the dinosaur to control it. The 2nd player must stand on a platform that Player 1 can raise with the dinosaur. Immediately after Player 1 raised the first platform to get Player 2 up, press :l-down: to align the dinosaurs head and press :triangle: to eat the 2nd player. It can only be done in this specific spot, the exact spot is shown in the image below (the :triangle: prompt will appear for the player sitting on the toy dinosaur). Once the toy dinosaur eats the other player the trophy unlocks.
Note: Both players receive this trophy simultaneously.
Realize Your Art
Chapter: Rose’s Room / Section: Once Upon a Time
From the start of the level walk straight ahead to the end of the castle courtyard and then take the path on the right. At the end you find a printer and some paint. Jump into the rolling pieces on the back of the printer. This will flatten you and unlocks the trophy.
Note: You have to do this yourself, it doesn’t unlock for you when the other player does it. The trophy “On Rails Experience” takes place in the same castle section.
On Rails Experience
Chapter: Rose’s Room / Section: Once Upon a Time
At the very start of the level walk straight ahead to the end of the courtyard. You will see some train tracks on the ground here. Just wait anywhere by the train tracks and wait for a train to drive by. Press :triangle: to jump on board the train and the trophy will unlock.

Platforming Prodigy
Chapter: Cuckoo Clock / Section: Gates of Time
During this level you will come to a town square area (outdoors). Go find the funfair in this area. At the end of the funfair is a lit sign that says “HELLTOWER”. In front of this sign are two buttons, both players must jump on them simultaneously to make the tower appear. You must reach the top to earn the trophy. This will take some practice. You have to time your jumps to get from one platform to the next above. Halfway up the tower there are two moving side-walls. You need to wait for the walls to be aligned close together, then do one wall-jump :x: and then just hang on to the wall (press nothing) until the walls align again. Then you do the next wall jump, the walls move away from each other and you press nothing to hang on to the wall, wait for walls to align, do the next wall jump, repeat until you get to the top of the wall. This is followed by some more moving platforms which are similar to the ones in the bottom section of the tower. Just take your time to learn the pattern and don’t try to rush it. If you fall down you must redo the whole thing each try. You can also hold on to the sides of platforms (e.g. double-jump and air dash to the edge of a platform).
Note: You have to do this yourself, it doesn’t unlock for you when the other player does it. The trophy “Force Triangulated” takes place in the same area.
Force Triangulated
Chapter: Cuckoo Clock / Section: Gates of Time

Note: You have to do this yourself, it doesn’t unlock for you when the other player does it. The trophy “Platforming Prodigy” takes place in the same area.
Lost And Found
Chapter: Snow Globe / Section: Winter Village
When you enter the winter village with the 3 big towers (marked mission objectives), there’s a frozen lake in the middle of the area. Go to the back of the frozen lake to find a mother turtle with 4 empty nests in front of her. She lost her children and you need to bring them back. You must first activate the towers around the winter village to make them spawn. Then the baby turtles will appear on the frozen lake in the middle of the area, quite close to the mother turtle. There are 2 blue ones and 2 red ones. You need to use your magnet power to push them back to the mother turtle.
#1 (Red) – in the middle of the frozen lake, behind the pavilion.
#2 (Red) – straight in front of the turtle mother
#3 (Blue) – in the middle of the frozen lake in front of the pavilion.

Note: Both players get the trophy simultaneously.
Mood Swing

When you enter the winter village with the 3 big towers (marked mission objectives), activate the bell of the left tower. This will unfreeze the left part of town. Underneath that same tower is a swingset at the cliffside, at the very end of the village. There’s someone sitting on the red swing. Use your magnet powers to make him spin around really quickly which will unlock the trophy for both players.
Note: Both players get the trophy simultaneously.
Something Fishy
