Setup:
I used retro arch on windows, can’t remember the core.
I recommend turning sticky keys off in windows settings assuming you are using the default key bindings. The Color pallets achievement triggers it and will pause your game wasting precious seconds of your life.
Meta Strategy:
For each dinosaur, you will want to press any single directional key (I chose up but as long as it’s just one you’re set) and a. After the animation is complete for colouring that dinosaur segment repeat those two key presses until you get the achievement.
Once you get the achievement for the Dino you can back out and choose the next. On hardcore mode this is where the biggest skill issue can come into play: forgetting which dinosaurs you have coloured. To combat this, I numbered each dinosaur from left to right and verbally said it’s number as I selected it.
The second way to combat forgetting which Dino you’ve coloured is by the achievement icon after you unlock it, the art in the achievement picture matches the dinosaur in case you’ve already forgotten it the moment the screen turns white.
If you are doing a soft core run, it might be faster to use a save state on the Dino select then loading it after you unlock the achievement , this will skip the animation and save you a few seconds.
The colour palette achievement can be tricky because the hardware might fight you. If your keybind for select is “shift” and you are using windows, you will trigger sticky keys feature when doing this achievement. I recommend either rebinding, turning off sticky keys, or setting your fingers above alt+n to close the dialogue when it appears so you can continue pressing shift.
Another option is switching to a different platform, like Steam Deck or Android, and doing the achievement there as sticky keys is win only.
That’s about it, sorry for the long explanation but it’s a tough game.
(Also I spent an embarrassing amount of time trying to align onto the 1 pixel pupils before learning there's a Better Way.)
