Platinum Medals are times and scores set by the QA(quality assuance) testers at EA. They are \"higher\" than gold and you will earn more money if you get a platinum. They are not required but they are a nice challenge.

Here is a list of what is needed to achieve platinum medals in SSX3
NOTE: The Peak Jams and Races do not have Platinum Medals.
