Stage 2 – Standard Weapon Full Playthrough – 100% Each Stage.
ALL 5 STAGES NEED TO BE COMPLETED TO 100% IN ONE SITTING. USING THE LEVEL CODES WILL NOT WORK. Keep in mind getting 100% for each stage needs to be done in the same playthrough, if you miss something you will have to start the game again. Only use the Standard Starting Default Weapon throughout the playthrough of the game, ignore any weapon crates.
To 100% each Level focus on: Collecting all 52 Extra Life pick ups. Collecting all 993 Coins Killing enemies. (Need to kill 95% of the 1,465 enemies throughout the game).
Collectibles – Extra Lives and coins are vital for getting 100% stats on each stage. Collecting the ammo, hearts, shields etc is highly recommended and are included in the walkthroughs but not needed for trophies.
Follow the walkthrough for each stage. Take your time and be thorough. Pause the game while reading/watching the walkthrough so you don’t die for allowing the timer to run out. Dying enough to lose all your lives and having to use a continue will reset the stats, meaning you need to start all over again. There is a way to farm lives on Level 5, which is recommended. See the video for guidance. Be warned that Level 4 can be glitchy in counting the coins.
Farm Lives to give a better chance of beating the game.

No Prize For Pacifists Kill 95% of enemies in the entire game

Dying to the point of using a continue will reset the stats. Please note the vita version states 1 active enemy at the end of level 2, don’t worry as it’s 95% of all the enemies, not 100%. Note that some areas, especially in Level 4 have infinite spawn areas, kill the enemies as you first meet them, they will respawn if you return to the area, killing these over and over will not increase your kill count. There are a total of 1,465 enemies to kill. The trophy will pop during the credits after the Level 5 stats screen. To give you an idea, here are the amount of enemies in the levels:
The easiest way to achieve this is start a new game, get to the end of level 1 where you meet a boss, purposely die enough to have to continue, this resets all your stats, so now just shoot the boss in the face and kill it. When you exit the room and the level ends the trophy will pop. See the video for guidance.
