Everything you need for full completion: gold score medals, gold time medals, all dares, all four collectible types (3TB toolboxes, LC lucky charms, GR gears, MRE movie reels), and the Trick Park gold. Use the Dare Tracker alongside this guide.
Play through the campaign without worrying about dares or collectibles. Your first run should be about learning each level's layout and finishing the story. Grab any collectibles that are obviously on the main path, but don't detour for them.
After the campaign, spend time in the Trick Park until you gold it. This forces you to master your full trick rotation before returning to levels — you'll be significantly better at dare challenges with a solid Trick Park foundation.
Go back to Kyushu and clear all dares before moving to the next region. Use the Dare Tracker to mark completed objectives. Dare objectives often also collect toolboxes and gears as side effects — combine dare runs with collectible hunting.
Separate gold score runs from gold time runs. Score runs require Overtime activation, full combo maintenance, and trick variety — slower, more deliberate play. Do these before speed runs so you don't develop bad habits from rushing.
The final grind. Gold time medals require mastering drift boost timing and optimal routing — different skills from score runs. Study the level layout for shortcut lanes and practice the ultradrift technique (LT release at corner exit) until it's consistent.
Movie reels (MRE) are the hardest collectibles to find — they require exploring every branching path. Leave them last so you're familiar enough with each level to spot unusual routes quickly. Community maps will be the fastest route here — check back on this guide post-launch.
