This underachiever goal is super frustrating :)
Scott 2 Dec 2022 20:50
It's doable though! I did it today after 2 attempts, just don't forget to use fastforward to 5 minutes just before the goal. Except for ghz1, on this one get to the slope at the end. Collect three of these rings, go back and lose them. Then return, wait til 5 minutes, THEN long jump over the last few rings. For ghz2 and 3, use a map and plan ahead. It's VERY easy to accidentally stomp an enemy. Practice each of the three levels with savestates first. Also practice the boss alone. You can get 4 hits in if you jump early, meaning you only need 4 more without rings (or intentionally lose your last ring just before your last hit on him). Check the achievement page for a great how-to video by kdecks. Good luck, you can do it!!

I will definitely say, this set is pretty fair with the challenges up to like probably the 100% completion and the 1000 point cheevo but aren't too bad if you get it down. (special stages make me shutter in that game lmao)
AfroRyan 9 Dec 2022 07:16
@terra22 I am a bit of a savant at the special stages in this, and I'm good at S3K too, but I absolutely suck at Sonic 2's half pipes (though, I'm fine on the Mobile/Origin versions).
a8pineapple 31 Dec 2022 16:04
Mastered this fine classic. Just like the old times.
Underachiever was the most challenging, but eventually got it around 10th... err I mean 1st try, honest :D
poisongirlss 1 Jan 2023 19:36
Mastered! This was fun. Underachiever was the toughest achievement - for the USA/Europe ROM, USE THE PICODRIVE CORE. It DOESN'T work on Blastem!
Fujisnarky 10 Jan 2023 15:39
Mastered, wish I had known Underachiever didn't pop on Genesis Plus GX since I had to do like 5 more tries on PicoDrive, but other than that, pretty fun set!
Flyeaglesfly72 17 Jan 2023 07:47
beat the game with all emeralds and it didnt trigger
RevvoBolt 21 Jan 2023 10:29
Mastered! Underachiever was pain but I’m glad to have completed this good set.

Ooof! It's been so many years I forgot how hard this game was! Marble Zone 2 is kickin' my butt! Specifically, the part with the two spiked caterpillars and that sneaky spring that knocks you backwards into the lava >:(

I know that spring is there but I still run headlong straight into every time, lmao! :D
