Have you got the Platinum Trophy in Sonic Frontiers? You know exactly what we’re talking about, then! While debate rages about whether this release is actually good or not – we enjoyed it – there’s no question that upgrading Speed and Ring statistics with the Elder Koco proved a nightmare. This is because, in order to unlock both Trophies, you had to trigger all 99 levels one-by-one – an unbelievably tedious process of talking to the same character almost 200 times!
But, SEGA has been listening to your pleas for help! As part of the new Sights, Sounds, and Speed update – available now – you can now bulk upgrade your statistics, meaning you can get this Trophy done in a pinch. The upgrade obviously adds more meaningful features – like a photo mode and jukebox – but it’s this single, small adjustment that will save the souls of Trophy hunters yet to 100 per cent the release.

I only completed it this month 😫
Good to see they’re listening though.
I just listened to Miley Cyrus’ new album on repeat whilst I purchased each level and it wasn’t too bad.
@ItsBritneyB_tch A valiant effort!
I didn’t really have an issue with it, but it’s still a nice addition.
It was insanely tedious! I am glad new players will not have to go trough that.
It never made sense since the Hermit Koco takes seeds and upgrades both Offense and Defense in bulk in one go. So having Elder Koco require you to pick and choose each level for both Rings and Speed one by one was bizarre, including the lengthy animation and delay on the menu.
But then upon finding out that you can use Hermit Koco to transfer levels from Rings to Speed or vice versa, which almost logically you think since its not a choice and just transferring from one to the other, you can choose how many levels to swap.
Nope. One at a time.
So thank god they added this in.
I'm still amazed at the hoops "gamers" jump through just for a trophy ping 🧐
Yeah I already did it but it was definitely a pain. I just distracted myself by talking to a friend on the phone while I did it. 😄
@pip_muzz Yeah, as pointed out, even if you don't care about the Trophy — you're still technically upgrading Sonic. Why wouldn't you want him to be at the highest level possible?
Love to see a publisher listening to trophy hunters
Why oh why is it one level at a time with the same conversation. Glad they change it as that design decision made zero sense.
@BeerIsAwesome yea right
This reminds me of Xenoblade chronicles 2, when you had to open core crystals one by one with an awefully long animation, hoping to get a rare blade. I spent hours hitting A while watching TV series. They fixed it in a patch with bulk opening and animation skip, but it's still a huuuuge oversight from the developers. It's as if they never bothered to play their own game
So glad they made this change! I look forward to eventually buying and playing Frontiers, soon as I see it on sale for $20 New or cheaper.
