There are a total of 25 Bonus Level Crystals in Velocity 2X. Finding all of these collectibles is required for 4 Trophies:
Bonus Onus [Silver]
Lucky Find [Bronze]
Ralan’s Mission [Gold]
Background Reading [Bronze]
The Bonus Collectibles are scattered across the story missions. Picking them up will unlock the playable bonus missions and earn you the “Lucky Find” and “Bonus Onus” trophies. You can access bonus missions in the Flight Computer. Beating them is then going to give you the “Ralan’s Mission” gold trophy and will unlock the concept art folder in your flight computer. View all folders and you will get the “Background Reading” trophy as well.
None of the collectibles are missable! You can get all of them via level select at any time. They are saved automatically when you pick them up. There is no need to reach the next checkpoint and you may quit the level immediately to return to level select. You can see which ones you have found by accessing the Bonus menu.
Lots of collectibles require certain abilities that are unlocked later in the game! Because of this you should play through the story first before collecting anything.

Follow the path and you will reach the final bonus crystal.
