Trophy guide
My route to 200 campaign author medals and 90 Track of the Day author medals. Choose tracks that suit you, finish the online requirements early, then tackle the remaining challenges.
PlayStation 5 · base game platinum
You need Club Access for the full route and two controllers for split-screen. Tracks and archives can be replayed. Online trophies depend on service availability. Use Royal Time Attack for the Royal trophies. The roadmap covers cross-platform unlock workarounds.
Start with Training, then try tracks 01–10 in a seasonal campaign. Use those first runs to learn the car before chasing perfect times. This guide covers the 34-trophy PS5 list. PS4 has separate trophy lists.
In Roadmap, the four sections group the hunt by activity, not story chapters. Campaign medals and Track of the Day cover the two medal hunts, Online and Royal covers those separate modes, and Local modes and editor prepares the remaining one-off tasks. Read the relevant section before changing activity. Its trophy entries give the detailed steps. Use Trophies to look up one solution directly, or follow a linked trophy name below.
There are no known permanently missable trophies, but the live requirements depend on online services. Campaign and daily tracks can be replayed, and you can alternate between their medal hunts. Allow 120–150+ hours, with the daily author times the main skill barrier. Hide covered trophies can reduce repetition by hiding lower targets covered by a larger one.
Two separate goals: 200 author medals across eligible campaign tracks, and gold or better on all 25 tracks of one season.
Open Play → Solo and use the season selector at the top left to browse earlier campaigns. Club Access opens the archive. Start with white and green tracks across several seasons. For the 200-medal trophies, use seasonal campaign tracks. Training and Weekly Shorts can help you practise, but do not include them in your planned 200-track total. An author medal beats the creator's time and also meets the lower medal thresholds.
On the default PlayStation layout, hold to accelerate, use the left stick to steer and to brake. Check your control bindings if you have changed them. Learn where a corner ends before trying to enter it faster. Make a clean finish first, then improve the section where your ghost pulls ahead. A ghost is a replay car, so you can drive through it.
On a fast asphalt corner, turn before applying a short brake input to start a drift, then release the brake and straighten as the exit opens. For a jump, line up on the approach and tap the brake while airborne to stop unwanted rotation before landing. More advanced slides are optional tools, not prerequisites for every early author medal. Pick another track when its surface or technique is holding up the hunt.
Pause a loaded track and open Records to inspect the medal target. After a successful finish, check the medal awarded on the result screen and the track's saved medal icon. Count different tracks, not repeated improvements on one track.
I recommend Spring 2025 for the all-gold season based on my own experience. Finish each of its 25 tracks at gold or better, including the five black tracks. You cannot replace this with 25 easy maps from different seasons. The current campaign unlock thresholds are ten bronze medals for blue, ten silver for red and ten gold for black. If an older campaign shows a different lock requirement, follow its displayed condition.
Historical replays and easy-track lists can reflect older handling, especially on ice. Choose a different track for the 200-medal total if an old route is no longer useful. For the full-season target, use a gold ghost to learn the remaining track or commit to a different complete season.
Checkpoint: 200 distinct campaign author medals for You are the Trackmaster, and all 25 tracks of one season at gold or better for Completionist.
bronze
Complete your first race
Complete a valid run and cross the finish. This first-finish milestone is included in the 100-finish target.
bronze
Win your first trophy
This means a Trackmania ranking reward, separate from PlayStation trophies. Follow Not bad for a first try and complete the Cup of the Day qualifier, then stay for the event result and reward.
You can also earn in-game trophies from medal sets in the current seasonal campaign. For this trophy, the Cup route gives a clear alternative to archived campaigns whose seasonal rankings have closed.
bronze
Obtain your first bronze medal on any official campaign track
Beat the bronze target on a seasonal campaign track. A better medal satisfies this lower tier. This unlocks along the campaign author-medal route.
bronze
Obtain your first silver medal on any official campaign track
Beat the silver target on a seasonal campaign track. Gold or author is sufficient. There is no need for a separate silver-only run.
bronze
Obtain your first gold medal on any official campaign track
Beat the gold target on a seasonal campaign track. Author is sufficient. Start with a white track and use clean landings and a smooth racing line.
silver
Obtain your first author medal on any official campaign track
Beat the author target on a seasonal campaign track. This is your first milestone toward 200. The first ten tracks across older seasons provide many choices. Skip an awkward one and try another.
silver
Obtain a bronze medal on 200 official campaign tracks
Follow You are the Trackmaster: its 200 author medals also satisfy this lower tier. Start with early seasonal campaign tracks and count different tracks, not repeat runs. There is no need to earn 200 bronze medals separately.
silver
Obtain a silver medal on 200 official campaign tracks
Follow You are the Trackmaster. Its 200 seasonal campaign author medals also meet this silver target. Spread the hunt across seasons rather than forcing every hard track in one season.
gold
Obtain a gold medal on 200 official campaign tracks
Work toward 200 author medals and this lower tier follows. Unlike Completionist, these 200 tracks can come from multiple campaigns.
gold · grind · difficulty
Obtain an author medal on 200 official campaign tracks
Use seasonal campaigns for your 200 author medals. With Club Access, open Play → Solo, use the season selector at the top left and choose an earlier season. Start with tracks 01–10 across several seasons, then add approachable blue tracks or visit another season. Count each season and track number once. Improving the same medal does not add another track.
Keep Weekly Shorts as optional practice, without including their medals in your planned total. Their campaign-trophy credit has conflicting reports, so the route here uses 200 seasonal tracks.
Learn a track, finish it, then refine the corners or landings where your ghost gains time. Check for the author medal on the result screen and the saved track icon. Move to another track when progress stalls, then return with better technique. You do not need to finish every season. If the trophy has not unlocked at your counted total, check that all 200 are distinct seasonal tracks with author medals, then earn another qualifying seasonal author medal on this PlayStation version.
silver · difficulty
Obtain a gold medal on 25 official campaign tracks (of the same campaign)
Pick one season and fill every track with gold or author. Medals spread across different seasons, or five Weekly Shorts, do not satisfy this trophy.
My pick: Spring 2025. Start there if you want a concrete target, while recognising that driving style affects difficulty. Practise the harder tracks in sections. The 2026 black tracks have an esports role, so there is no need to insist on the newest season for this challenge.
Targets: 90 different daily author medals, plus one complete Monday–Sunday week at gold or better. Archived tracks count. This is not a 90-day attendance requirement.
For the weekly trophy, I recommend 6–12 July 2020. The shortlist below is separate and does not include 6 July: remember to play that date too for the seven-day set.
Author Medal Tracker provides completion data. Use completion counts as a rough sorting aid, not a difficulty guarantee. Age, popularity, shortcuts and later physics changes all affect the comparison. I also recommend Cruscah’s spreadsheet and GwammTM’s dated world-record playlists, linked from the original Daily Trackmaster solution.
Watch a route when you cannot see where time is lost. Some maps have hidden finishes. Others are mostly a test of bounce luck. You are free to skip either kind. Preserve speed through landings, practise the relevant drift or ice technique, and return to a stubborn track later.
These 92 candidates come from my original shortlist, including two June 2023 honourable mentions. Times are historical, so check the in-game target. Physics changes can make older recommendations harder.
AT = historical author time. The medal target displayed in the game takes priority.
Checkpoint: 90 distinct daily ATs, all seven dates in one calendar week at gold or better, and a completed live Cup of the Day recorded separately.
bronze · online
Obtain a bronze medal on 90 tracks of the day
Use the dated Track of the Day archive. The 90-author route also covers this tier. Ordinary campaign tracks and arbitrary club maps do not substitute for selected daily tracks.
bronze · online
Obtain a silver medal on 90 tracks of the day
Continue the Daily Trackmaster route. A higher medal counts for the lower tier, so keep successful gold/author runs rather than doing silver separately.
silver · online
Obtain a gold medal on 90 tracks of the day
Aim for the 90 author medals and this tier follows. The tracks can be from different months and years. Only What a week huh? imposes a same-week condition.
gold · online · grind · difficulty
Obtain an author medal on 90 tracks of the day
This is the main long-term skill target. Choose archived daily tracks that suit your strengths. Neither 90 consecutive days nor 90 live Cup events are required.
Use the chapter’s shortlist and Author Medal Tracker to find candidates. More completions can indicate an approachable AT, but older maps have had longer to accumulate players and may predate physics changes. Learn the route, check for a useful cut, and work on its specific technique. Change maps when progress stalls.
My full original solution includes personal track notes, tutorials and Cruscah’s spreadsheet. These are selection aids, not a guarantee every listed AT remains easy.
silver · online · difficulty
Obtain a gold medal on every track of the day (of the same week)
Use a complete calendar week, not any seven adjacent dates. You can do archived tracks in any order and across multiple sessions. I recommend 6–12 July 2020. All seven dates must be gold or author.
This does not mean seven Cup of the Day wins, nor logging in seven days in a row. If one track is uncomfortable, another full week is valid.
Do the live requirement while access is active. Join a Cup of the Day, set a qualifying time and remain through your elimination or win. Winning the Cup is not required. Use the in-game event countdown rather than an old guide’s fixed-time conversion.
Win a multiplayer race separately. A Ranked team win is a practical route. Ranked currently uses 2v2, not the old 3v3 format.
Use Royal Time Attack for both Royal trophies. Look under Local → Play a track → Official → Royal. Select a map and finish its sections, including black, yourself. If the menu differs, look for the official Royal track category.
Ignore old instructions to wait for Royal matchmaking or rush through ten-star sections inside a timed elimination round. Those describe the retired mode.
Checkpoint: Cup completed, multiplayer win recorded, Royal completion and black-section trophy unlocked.
bronze · online
Win your first multiplayer race with at least 2 players
Win a Ranked match. A winning team result counts. Finish the match and wait for its result. Do not rely on local split-screen for this trophy. Ranked now uses 2v2. Older 3v3 instructions are outdated.
bronze · online
Complete your first cup of the day
With active Club Access, join Cup of the Day from Live before the displayed start time. Set a qualifying time, enter the knockout phase and remain until your elimination or victory. Solo Track of the Day practice does not count. Check the in-game countdown for the next event. You do not need to win a division.
bronze
Complete your first royal match
With Club Access, use Play → Local → Play a track → Official → Royal. Choose a map and finish it in Royal Time Attack. The Blackbelt Champion solution gives a specific April 2025 map for completing both Royal trophies together. Work through its five coloured sections and wait for the completion result. Old instructions to queue for live Royal matchmaking no longer apply.
bronze · difficulty
Complete the black section of a royal map for the first time
With Club Access, open Play → Local → Play a track → Official → Royal → April 2025 and select 23 Dariuzs_Qualify_Run. This is a short starting option for Royal Time Attack.
Drive through the white, green, blue and red sections, then complete the fifth, black section yourself. A missed jump can be retried with checkpoint respawn. You do not have the retired matchmaking time limit or ten-star requirement. Finish black once and check the trophy notification. Completing this map also covers I want to be the Royal Champion.
Prepare two controllers for split-screen. Hotseat instead passes one controller between player slots. Complete each match through its result screen.
For the editor trophy, a start, a finish, a valid run and a saved track are enough. You can make the same track useful for the speed trophy by building a long straight of red super-turbo blocks. For Flymania, use the dated daily-track shortcut in its solution.
Leave finish, checkpoint, distance, speed and jump counters until after the medal hunt. A lot of useful progress comes from ordinary attempts. Not every cumulative target is guaranteed, so check the remaining trophies at the end.
Checkpoint: Hotseat and split-screen completed. A track validated and saved. 999 km/h reached. Remaining counters and Flymania checked.
bronze
Complete a match in hotseat mode
Open Play → Local → Hotseat, choose a short track and add at least two player slots. One controller is enough. Player one sets a finish time, then the next player takes a turn on the same controller. You can leave the second player idle until the match timer expires. Stay until the results appear. Merely completing player one's run and leaving the mode is not the full match.
bronze
Complete a match in splitscreen mode
Connect two controllers, then open Play → Local → Splitscreen and join with both players. Choose a short track and the Laps race format. Complete the race with both cars, or let the race timer finish, and wait for the results. You do not need to win. Hotseat uses a different mode and does not count here.
bronze
Exceed 998 km/h or more for the first time
Open the track editor from the main menu and create a new plain map with the advanced editor, which contains the red Super Turbo blocks. Place a start gate near one edge of the build area. Build a straight, continuous row of red boost blocks almost to the opposite edge, with every arrow pointing away from the start, then put a finish at the far end.
Accept the validation prompt and hold to drive straight through the boosts. The speed display must reach 999 km/h. If you finish too slowly, extend the boost run and check for gaps, reverse-facing blocks or steering into the edge. Once the speed trophy unlocks, cross the finish to validate and save the track for What a piece of art!.
silver
Reach a height of 1km
With Club Access, open Play → Solo → Track of the Day, move the calendar to April 2023 and select 20 April, Final Rush. Let the track finish loading and enter the run. Its starting altitude is already high enough for this trophy, so no author medal or long jump is needed.
Check the PlayStation trophy notification or trophy list after loading. If it is already earned, there is no further height counter to fill. This is a single altitude requirement, not the combined height of many small jumps.
bronze
Build your first track
Place a start and finish in the editor, drive the route to validate it, then save. You can combine this with the straight boosted track for I am speed.
platinum
Complete all trophies for Trackmania
Complete every other trophy in this list. The two long-term targets are 200 official campaign author medals and 90 Track of the Day author medals. Also finish the separate modes and miscellaneous challenges. Trackmania’s in-game ranking trophies are a different system.
gold · grind
Drive 384 000m
Let distance accumulate while learning tracks and collecting medals. Repeated attempts contribute useful driving time, so leave this until late cleanup instead of farming it at the start.
bronze
Jump for 200 meters or more 100 times
This lower jump-distance target is guaranteed by Gravity doesn’t matter: its 100 jumps of at least 500 metres also satisfy 100 jumps of at least 200 metres. Follow the longer-jump target for any cleanup instead of farming a second set of 100 jumps. This trophy may unlock earlier through ordinary play.
silver · grind
Jump for 500 meters or more 100 times
Leave this until after the medal hunt, since ordinary jumps contribute. For a repeatable cleanup attempt, use Spring 2023, track 23.
Keep accelerating through the launch, and avoid braking or steering away from the intended opening line. Restarting before the long jump is complete will cut the attempt short. Each of the required 100 jumps must cover at least 500 metres. Check the PlayStation trophy notification or list to know when the total is complete. These same jumps also satisfy Crazy Frog.
bronze
Exceed 575 km/h for the first time
This lower speed threshold is guaranteed when completing I am speed, which requires exceeding 998 km/h. Follow that trophy’s 999 km/h setup. You do not need a separate attempt for this one. It may unlock earlier during ordinary racing.
silver · grind
Exceed 500 km/h or more 100 times
Collect qualifying speed bursts through repeated racing. For cleanup, restart and drive a straight boosted section repeatedly rather than assuming that staying above 500 for a long time counts as multiple occasions.
bronze
Cross 100 finish lines
Finish complete runs while working on medals. This 100-finish milestone is included in One Thousand and One Nights. Repeated completions count. Restarting before the finish does not add a finish.
silver · grind
Cross 1001 finish lines
Continue completing runs during the medal hunt, even when a run misses your target. If still missing afterwards, replay a short track and finish each attempt. Unlike the 100-finish trophy, 1,001 completions are not guaranteed by the distinct-map requirements alone.
silver · grind
Cross 10000 checkpoints
Practise full routes and let checkpoints accumulate. Finish-line totals are separate: a very short track may be poor checkpoint practice. Leave any deliberate repetition until the campaign and daily medals are complete.
