Welcome to the trophy guide for Switch ‘N ‘Shoot. This can also be considered a walkthrough and may be used for PlayStation 4, 5, Xbox One, Series X and Steam. Achievements for Steam and Xbox are in almost all cases the same as the PlayStation 4/5 Trophies. A roadmap is provided in the stages below.
Follow us on Twitter for the latest news and giveaways. Feel free to join our Discord server if you have questions!
Stage 1 – Get to Stage 7.
Reaching Stage 7 is the most difficult trophy for the game, but you only have to do this once. Most other trophies will pop while attempting this. Collect the powerups to go into Hyperdrive, collect one more powerup to come out of Hyperdrive and end the level. Do this for 3 levels. Level 4 is the Incubator boss fight, again collect power ups, done so by shooting bosses’ eyes to make a powerup appear. Level 5 and 6 back to normal. Reach stage 7 for this trophy to pop.
Stage 2 – Kill 25 Incubators.
Any remaining trophies will be earned while going for this trophy.
Reach Level 4. Shoot the enemies coming from the mouth and be sure to watch out for the beam also coming from its mouth. When the eyes are open, shoot them for it to drop a powerup. Collect enough powerups to activate Hyperdrive, and collect one more powerup afterwards to kill an Incubator enemy. Rinse and repeat. Feel free to purposely die on Level 5 and start again. After 25 are killed this trophy will pop.
If the Score 1000 Switch Marshall trophy hasn’t popped while completing Stage 1 and 2 of this guide, then earn it by prolonging levels purposely by missing a powerup, collecting power up, missing power up, rinse and repeat.

Collecting enough (5) power ups to fill the bar will activate Hyperdrive, where the sides of the screen are now blocked off and the weapon is now a laser. Collect one more power up to end the level and come out of Hyperdrive. Do this 125 times to pop the trophy.
Switch Marshall
Score 1000.
A score is earned by killing enemies and collecting power ups. Quite possibly earned naturally while reaching Stage 7 or killing 25 Incubators, but if not, earn it by prolonging levels purposely by missing a powerup, collecting powerup, missing powerup. Rinse and repeat.
Power Shower
Acquire 1,000 power-ups.
Powerups look like yellow circles with a plus symbol (assuming using default color scheme). Collecting 1000 will pop this trophy.

Simply shooting an enemy with one bullet will kill it. Killing 10000 across many playthroughs will pop this trophy. This will come naturally while going for the Stage 7 and kill 25 Incubator trophies.
