    Does it matter if you mess up on a star road lvl and just redo it by clearing the lvl normally and going back? because I did this and no cheevo popped
    TunebaGamer 2 Aug 2021 04:09
    The star levels has 2 ends. If u end with Key, ok. If u end by normal goal, then you fail t get achiev.

    You can get power ups, but you have to start-select out. I'll admit that I went back and got Blue Yoshi for Star Road 4.

    God...this was an experience to say the least

    this should be renamed “you’ve got to move fast” in reference to the old cartoon series’ theme song

    televandalist edited this achievement's logic.

    Cleaned up logic by getting rid of UUoR.

    Original logic: 0xH0013bf=49_R:0xH0013bf!=49_0xH0013f9=3_R:0xH0013f9!=3_0xH001f2e=11_R:0xH001f2e!=11_0xH0013ef=1_R:0xH0013ef!=1

    Easy enough, can't believe I've never tried to do this before - only been playing the game since launch :D
    misfitedbear 24 Feb 2024 23:02
    easy

    When in Star Road, you can't go through any normal exits, only keyholes, or the achievement won't count. Attention to that, especially on Star World 4, where you usually need a blue Yoshi to get to the keyhole. Get the Yoshi from Star World 2, leave with start + select, if you lose Yoshi in Star World 4, just die, don't finish the normal way.

    First try, though I must mention that I played enough SMW hacks to know how to play the game lol
    Tommy 19 Oct 2024 19:03
    Sounds like this description should say "fewest exits possible"
    Axeavius 6 Jan 2025 06:47
    Is it normal that the status icon goes away when collecting powerups, getting on Yoshi, or going through a checkpoint? From previous comments, it sounds like those shouldn’t trigger a failed attempt.
    Axeavius 6 Jan 2025 07:40
    Yay, it still pops up even though the status icon goes away! Now I get to do it all over again to get Starman Challenge.
    apereira28 15 Jan 2025 20:09
    Can I unlock the achivement if mario dies? And if I loose all lifes and restart from last save?
