I was worried for a minute that this did not work, but the achievement triggers during Princess Peach's letter.

Omg this one... u gotta be real lucky with the damn mushroom houses

I was able to achieve this by obtaining the tanooki suit in 4-5 and then completing the final level. Much easier than trying to use the frog suit in World 3! Big thanks to nintendesi for the suggestion!

There's a mushroom house behind the rock at the beginning of world 4 that gives Tanooki suits as well.

man, that was unlucky, with frog twice caught inside the bosses' hitbox while trying to deal the final blow. 😅

Tip for those who are trying to get this: In world 6, there's a guaranteed hammer bros. suit in a toad house and the ship is one of the easiest in my opinion.

The best way I found to get this is to get the hammers in worlds 2 & 3, get the guaranteed frog suit in world 3, then hope you get another 1 or 2 from the mushroom houses on the island behind the rock. In world 4 there's a guaranteed tanooki suit in the mushroom house behind the rock at the beginning, and then a chance for another in one of the other mushroom houses. Wait to finish world 4-5 until you are ready to go to the fortress, get the tanooki suit in that level and make sure you are still wearing it when you finish. At this point (if you got lucky with the mushroom houses) you can start world 4 fortress wearing a tanooki suit with 4-5 frog/tanooki suits in reserve for extra tries.

If you bring a hammer with you to world 4, the guaranteed Tanooki suit behind the boulder respawns when you continue. I'd recommend not coming in with a large stock of lives if you're aiming for this achievement specifically - if you lose your power up at any point, you can game over and keep trying. The actual ship level is very easy with the suit; you can use it to avoid any of the trickier segments by keeping on top of the level, and the only thing to watch for with the boss is that his jump pattern can be a little unpredictable so you ideally want to get to higher ground and make sure you're always approach from above and not anywhere to his side.

The Frog Suit isn't even that bad here; the worst part of it is getting precise positioning when you're trying to keep between the flames.

World 4 is definitely a lot easier than world 3 to get this. Just use warp wistle and grap the suite from 4-5

This is the last achievement i got from this set, did it with the racoon suit of level 4-5, with 1 racoon as a back up gained from the red toad house on the top left (no hammer needed). Thank you, kind racoon. Could you please tell me your name?
