This one definitely has some randomness to it. I played Mushroom Cup on 50cc and went for 4th on the first three events. If you get lucky and the top three in the results finish in the same order the first three races, just finish forth. (to be cont)

(continued) I had it a touch harder. I had to make sure Toad finished out of the points because he finished 3rd in the 3rd race, making a tie out of 4th place. Just remember to drop back to 4th or other pos. when you cross the finish line

You know, you actually get the same ending if you manage 5th or worse too... but it didn't trigger when I did that. Might be fixed later, I don't know.

Finishing lower than 4th is the same ending, why 4th only ? It's stupid.

Darklink here being a little aggressive, but I'm glad it has been adjusted to allow 4th-8th place.

Appreciate your work on these 'chievments. I still remember trying to get this hidden ending as a kid just for the fun it

- Choose 50cc for difficult sake
- Make sure you finish in 4th place to end the race
- You are allowed to finish a Cup lower than 4th place
- Choose Mushroom or Flower Cup. Those contain the shortest levels

The CPU's really tried to throw that one. I came in 4th in all four races, but a different character came in 3rd each time. Fortunately I caught on just before I finished the fourth race so I could just retry, but it was close.

Also, a tip that no one else has mentioned: Play as a light weight or Bowser (this tip only works for those characters), wait at the end of the track for the first three CPU's to pass you, then triple tap A, you'll accelerate to full speed really quickly which will help prevent any extra CPU's from passing you at the last second.

Played mushroom cup as Mario in 150cc and finished first 3 races on 4th place and the last one on 2nd place and get 4th place as final position.

At times, I got this, sometimes. The first time I laughed very loud XD

But with the test of time, I forgot this "ending", so, to discover this again, at adult age was... strange XD

I made this achievement with Wario that, if you think closely, is the most common character for this gag reel XD Fifth place, I'm the strongest of the noobs ahahah

Anyway is very easy if you do this on 150cc: make surpass you the first three opponent and fight easily for the forth place, on all four Cup race (I made on Mushroom Cup). Take an object for emergency (Star or three red shell are perfect) and use it only before the end of the race, just to make sure to have a guaranteed 4th place.

Get rid of this because no one wants an achievement for losing.

Ah, but you're overlooking something. The game won't let you progress without getting at least 4th. So it takes skill to balance "do well enough to progress" and "don't do well enough to get on the podium". Plus, the ending is funny and otherwise wouldn't be seen.
