Mastered! A tough set but only a few really nasty ones (looking at you THI & LLL xD). Still, a really fun set that taught me new things about one of my earliest games ever played haha. Very thankful for the folks on cheevos that had tips for specific ones! Now to never go to Tiny Huge Island again. xD

Mastered! was definitely a challenge, especially some of the coin ones

Mastered! What can be said about Mario 64 that hasn't already been said? Literally one of my favorite games of all time; it was fascinating and also frustrating at times learning things that I never even dreamed were possible (looking at you, 1-Up Butterfly bitches lmao)! I expected a lot of this set to be tedious and incredibly difficult, but I apparently underestimated my skill level with this game so only a handful were super-obnoxious. Shout-out to the other Bushando64 Community Members who are playing this set/have mastered this set also! <3

Mastered! With Mario 64 as a childhood game of my time (and being a 90s kid pays off), I can easily say that this set is a big project of fantasticness. It can be at times challenging, but in all due respect, it was worth the ride. Now to keep a good sign of relief that I won't have to worry about doing the "Every coin in the level" achievements ever again.

there's a glitch with the lifesaver achievements, if you already have 100 lives while looking for one of these cheevos it won't pop

Mastered! I can confirm the glitch for 100 lives breaking the "Lifesaver" achievements; I was unfortunate enough to learn that in Rainbow Ride lol. I thought the inclusion of some speedrun/challenge goals was good. The ones here and not put into the subset for this game were accessible enough imo.

MAstered! Tiny-Huge Island is the worst stage I've seen

Real fun set of achievements. LLL, HMC & THL all coins were hard af.

Mastered. Long time veterans are in for a worthy challenge, newer players have their work cut out for them, lol. Glad I did it though. I've been playing this game since the 90s, but running through this set has taught me things about the game that I never knew before, which was both interesting and surprising. But now I truly feel like I've meticulously explored every inch this amazing classic has to offer, and that feeling itself was enough to make the experience worth it.

Could you describe the problem further? Normally you should be able to play in multiple sessions, there is nothing that would block achievements if continuing a savefile.

Can someone please explain to me how you are supposed to get the Blast to the Stone Pillar without the cannon? I tried for what felt like half an hour and couldn't make it

SporyTike 27 Dec 2022 17:21

You can open the achievement page and there will be a video I created.

Does anyone else find it kinda disturbing how the mountain in Tiny Huge Island seems to be some kind of giant organism?

Pt-BR: Platinado 100%! Já nem sei mais quantas vezes já finalizei este jogo. Mas lembro que, a primeira vez, foi a versão do SM64DS.
Finalizar este jogo com as conquistas do site foi um grande aprendizado para mim em relação aos segredos do game. Como já tinha finalizado várias e várias vezes antes, não foi algo tão difícil para mim. Mas claro, não posso deixar de falar na dificuldade grande que é certos desafios, como, pegar as vidas com as borboletas, coletar 100% das moedas nos cursos, achar todas as Warp Zones, etc.
Resumindo: O primeiro jogo 3D do Mario, revolucionário e desafiador. Parabéns aos devs pelas conquistas!

English (Google Tradutor): Platinum 100%! I don't even know how many times I've finished this game. But I remember that, the first time, it was the SM64DS version.
Finishing this game with the website's achievements was a great learning experience for me regarding the game's secrets. As I had finished many, many times before, it wasn't that difficult for me. But of course, I can't forget to mention the great difficulty of certain challenges, such as taking lives with the butterflies, collecting 100% of the coins in the courses, finding all the Warp Zones, etc.
In short: The first 3D Mario game, revolutionary and challenging. Congrats to the devs on their achievements!

Playing this on RetroArch, rn
Got the first achievement and two other achievements, but only the first achievement shows w/ color on RetroArch. The other two achievements, while RetroArch recognises them as being "achieved", are grayed-out and are not in the "Achieved" section at the bottom of the Achievements settings like my first achievement. Despite RetroArch recognising those two achievements as being unlocked
Still new to Retro Achievements/RetroArch

It's a pretty nice set but collecting every coin for achievements is stupid.

TheUberCamper 21 Jan 2023 07:33

If you're thinking about mastering this, don't.

Whomever decided that Googling the maximum number of coins in each stage and setting the achievements to require that exact amount should be ashamed of themselves; this is not only ludicrously tedious but also literally impossible in 50% of the stages without some level of luck involved (usually a lot of luck).

If it were up to me every single one of the coin achievements would have the required amount of coins lowered by at least 1, probably 2 or 3; it's not worth my time to grind the same level 50 times for 1 achievement when my the only "skill" that is being tested is my patience and ability to get lucky.

alphacrust 22 Jan 2023 19:09

Most of this set is pretty darn good, but all coin and all life achievements make you feel like you're playing DK64. You're subjected to immense amounts of tedium and frankly I don't understand what these achievements, especially Treasure, are doing in core and not Bonus subset. It's just expanding a flawed collectathon mechanic to utter absurdity. There's a reason this genre died, folks.

Kalium1993 27 Jan 2023 10:52

The coins achievements are just shitty and tedious.
At least remove the enemies coins from the total amount because they involve more luck than skill

CassetteCobra 28 Jan 2023 11:09

First time playing through the N64 fully and I was not disappointed. This was a great game to playthrough...though quite a few of the cheevs bogged down the experience.

I do not recommend anyone to play this set for their first one. This is a set made for hardcore veterans, not for casuals or beginners.

The main culprit are the coin achievements. Their tedious, not fun, and their RNG for the most part. I can imagine most people's time with this game was for getting the coin achievements. The 1ups were less guilty, but there were levels that were just as bad as the coin ones, such as Tiny-Huge Island. The most annoying non-coin and 1up cheevs was the JRB and DDD stars that require you to imput super precise movements.
