Test it out yourself, and then post your findings. I kind of hope that the achievement doesn't work that way though, otherwise I would of wasted so many hours trying to unlock it xD

Mastered. Completionists need to be careful starting this as completing the Special Cup w/ no wall contact cost me two days and about 10 hours total. Miserable set for the no wall contact achievements. Everything else was fun.

This set really pushed me to my limits. Out of the handful of games I’ve completed so far, this was by far the toughest. I’m gonna preach to the choir and say that those wall achievements make me yearn for death; you need a VERY good grasp on the game’s quirky controls (as well as a stroke of luck) to get past them. I’d recommend using the time trial mode to practice courses that give you trouble.

i just attempted the wall achievement on mushroom, i had to retry a couple times, from either hitting a wall or not in 1st place, and it didnt pop. so i believe you have to do it in one run, unless some one can confirm otherwise?

16 hours to master, 10 of which was probably the no wall hit star cup, bowsers castle is so nasty! whoever made those grr. thanks for the set!

Giving up on these, the wall achievements are just boring for me, restarting the cup every time I fail just converted into a unfunny challenge for me. If almost I could retry the race without restarting the entire lap I would try, but simply the rng of the npcs sniping bananas, pushing you in small bridges and the rubberbanding just does those challenges a pain and boring.

The entire cup*

8 (EIGHT) emails with "New Game Wall Comment from SquidHook" in my inbox in just 2 minutes, just to say you are giving up. First text, then send the message dude.

Kamikoopa 7 Oct 2022 23:23

Lol same haha.

DuckswanTheAlbatross 7 Oct 2022 23:53

Same here! Although I’m sure SquidHook was merely low-spirited and dejected when typing out the message, the sheer frequency of the notifications would make you think they were bouncing off the walls.

SquidHook 8 Oct 2022 00:24

It must be an error haha, I didn't see my comment even refreshing the page so i sent it multiple times, first time commenting btw

I feel like there should be different tiers of achievement sets.. I agree that those seem like they will be preposterous to try to complete. Better in their own set, like "The Diamond Tier MK64" achievement set.

In other words, I'm a completionist, and some achievments are sort of insulting to my free time and sensibilities. Anyways. Just my thoughts on this.

nietscape 8 Oct 2022 09:51

i'm not a completionist but i have a couple of the sub-2% time trial achievements and they're pretty fun to grind for. the no wall challenge i would never attempt. just wanted to throw my opinion out there as well

DuckswanTheAlbatross 8 Oct 2022 17:47

I wouldn’t be opposed to seeing certain achievements moved to their own subset. While I admittedly have a soft spot for cheevos that are brutal to the point of being unfair, I also agree that the wall achievements are a big outlier in terms of difficulty.

However, if I had to choose between tweaking the achievements and moving them to their own set, I would choose the former. There are only a couple changes that I’d make:

-Wall collisions caused by lightning don’t count

-Collisions on the DK’s Jungle Parkway and Yoshi Valley bridges don’t count (because fuck the bridges)

Lightning doesn’t happen very often, but it’s still frustrating to have an element of luck for an already tough achievement. Using heavyweights mostly solves the problem of other racers knocking you into walls (except for the bridges) so I don’t have any issues there. With all that being said, I speak as someone who has no knowledge on how to make achievements, so it might not even be feasible to make these kind of changes.

Re-mastered, thanks for the revision, it was pretty fun. Got all TT achievs with bowser by the way, so it is possible if anyone is wondering haha.

I'm still not sure what to think about the wall achievs though, in one hand they were a fun challenge, but also it was kinda frustrating losing the achiev to a random lightning, being able to retry individual races would also trivialize the achiev a bit too much though... So I'm still not sure what would be the best approach. But I sure hope they don't ever get removed at least, I don't want my hard work and of others to be in vain XD

About those wall achievements. Flower Cup might actually be the hardest one since it's 150cc and you have to get 1st on all the tracks. Choco Mountain is just awful. For Bowser's Castle just take it slow. Don't try to go too fast inside. Overall I had more trouble with Special Cup than I did with Star Cup. That's mainly because of the stupid bridge in Yoshi Valley. Good luck to anyone attempting this in the future. Also remember that you can restart a race by getting 5th place or lower as long as you didn't hit a wall.

> 64 achievements

Nice.

DavidLR04 14 Jan 2023 00:57

@SleeplessSP this.

Guininhas 3 Feb 2023 02:57

Mastered!! Please change to 50 points to all "without hitting walls" cheevos... PLEASE!!! I needed 33 hours to master this set just because of those cheevos. Otherwise great game and great set :)
