In another file, practice the jump below the checkpoint in Valley of Bowser 4 until you can pull this off 100% of the time. As suggested above, only tap the jump button. If you want to be really sure of not hitting the tape, tap the spin jump button, because its minimum height seems to be a bit lower than that of the regular jump.Also complete Valley of Bowser 4 before completing the fortress and the castle, so you don't play them for nothing if you fail to jump below the checkpoint.

Consegui, um pouco difcil principalmente na Valley of bowser 4, a fase da caverna onde tem o marcador de fase que pode fazer voc perder todo o progresso at ali.

Just beat it! the Valley of Bowser 4 checkpoint isn't hard to avoid if you are familiar with the kaizo skill known as "regrab". Tap jump, release imediatelly, then press it again and hold this time, this will minimize jump height but allow Mario to cover more distance (also helps if you wait for the platform to sink before jumping)... The worst part for me was actually having to play Valley of Bowser 2 twice... So much waiting in that level

Na BOWSER'S VALLEY 4, fique bem na borda da plataforma e faça um spin jump bem breve. As vezes as rochas atiradas pelo Chargin' Chuck vão te matar ou você pode cair na lava, porém é melhor perder vida do que a conquista.


Perdi a conquista na Bowser's Valley 4 depois de ter feito a saída secreta da Bowser's Valley 2, a saída secreta da Valley Ghost House (não sei se é necessário) e a Valley Fortress. Reset e depois de quase 2 horas... EU CONSEGUI!!!

Agora falta fazer a Mini-Mario vs The World SPECIAL pra finalizar a saga do Mini-Mario.

Fora essa falta Special Sorta Person, Fence Offense e Everything is lava.

Honestly, these achievements should really have taken into account accidental checkpoint grabs. I ended messing up in Valley 4 and, much to my surprise, found out that the only way to reset it was to do 6-1 onward all over, which led me to waste *2 hours* of gameplay. There really should be a condition that goes "oh, you touched a checkpoint? Fine, just lose all lives to clear it and retrace your steps from the last fortress / ghost house". Instead, it's an auto-fail condition without parole. With all due respect, it's kinda disappointing having a flaw like it in what's possibly the most played game set in RA.

While it didn't happen to me, I definitely think some kind of exception should be made for Valley of Bowser 4 because grabbing that checkpoint means redoing the world plus the Chocolate Island stages.

Technically, the way the description is worded, the stage shouldn't even need to be completed. "Uncovered" implies you could just take the secret exit of the Valley Ghost House to access Larry's Castle.

I also think Larry's Castle shouldn't check for a power-up in the entrance room to allow grabbing the checkpoint. The snake block section is not difficult at all, just really tedious. You could just jump in the pit after triggering the checkpoint before the Magikoopa room if that change was made.

galera, matei o bowser com o mini mario, o icone da conquista ativa o tempo todo, mas quando deu os créditos, o mario tava grande, não sei se por isso a conquista não pipocou, que raiva rsrs mas se eu quiser refazer, vou ter q jogar todo o jogo novamente até chegar na parte que começa a missão?

Please don't be me and forget to do the fortress in the Valley of Bowser...

Does anyone have the save at the start of this achievement? I made the "Mini-Mario vs The World II" but the file got currupted. Rush all the the way through again really sucks

edu013 26 Apr 2023 20:23

aaaaaaaaaa acabei pegando o continue na valley of bowser 4 e desanimei pra ter que fazer tudo do zero

XNATRICIO 29 May 2023 00:14

Fiz tudo e não ganhei. Será q é pq peguei 2 estrelas no navio?

edu013 29 May 2023 00:17

No canto inferior direito sempre mostra a conquista ativa. Se ele desaparecer ali é pq fez algo que anulou a possibilidade da conquista. Eu lembro de passar nessa fase pegando a estrela e não perdi

XNATRICIO 29 May 2023 14:21

nessa fase tem 2 estrelas. bom vou fazer tudo de novo pegando so a primeira q é valida. alguem sabe se posso jogar igual gente at floresta kkk e iniciar o mundo 3 mini? ou tenho q fzer tudo mini d novo

edu013 29 May 2023 15:43

Na hora que tu pegar a estrela a conquista vai desativar mas ela volta quando terminar a fase. Igual naquela fase que a gente pode ficar grande

Larry’s Castle(Castle 8) the Blue Robed Wizard can kiss my ass. I spent way too much time on that level.

Yeah, this is a poorly written, misleading challenge. It says to *uncover* all Bowser stages. I did exactly that, but after I lost a run with an accidental checkpoint grab on Valley 4, I decided just to *uncover* it by beating Valley 3, and go up through the secret exit in the ghost house. But it didn’t trigger. Followed the instructions to a T. Very frustrating.

The next hardest part of this is opting to “continue without save” at all the save points, after instinctively just saving it every time for 30 years. So one single accidental powerup and I have to start over on Yoshi’s island!

The forum topic is basically required reading for these. Here's a forum post with proper achievement descriptions, and also save files you can use if something goes wrong with your own save file:
