Finally did it, 5 minutes ago. I can 100% confirm that the auto item pickup during the "time has stabilized" segment won't void the trophy. The only items affected by auto pickup are the score medals, and those won't void the trophy at all.
Oh, thank you, I appreciate the kind comment! Yeah, that boss was the "easy" part, really; actually reaching it is another matter entirely. Most attempts failed in the dreaded worm tunnel. It definitely required quite a bit of practice to achieve consistent play, in addition to plain ol' good luck regarding where the power-ups spawn and bounce around. I'd never want to try this challenge again, that's for certain.
man this looks impossible, congrats for unlocking this nonsense trophy, it's already sound hard for one level, imagine beating the whole game like this... I can't resist picking up power ups on shmups like this, and boy I can already imaginings myself F bombing the whole people who made this game 😂
I'm grateful for the encouragement, thanks! Haha, it did take a while to train my brain that pick-ups = bad. So annoying! Sometimes, you've got to wonder what the heck a developer was thinking when they designed stuff like this. A fair challenge can be enjoyable, but I can't imagine how masochistic a person would have to be to play the entire game on Insane at all, let alone without upgrades. It's definitely not for me! Thankfully, the highest difficulty you need to finish is Hard, which is manageable with practice. While rank "A" on all the levels is required, it almost takes care of itself, since you need to play well on Hard just to survive. The reflection shield ability is incredibly overpowered, and probably the only reason I was able to 100% the game.

Well played! That's useful information, thanks.
Cant believe you beat the train with no power ups. Gg 👏
