Thanks for adding it.
MGNS8M 16 May 2016 16:53
This game's a lot longer than I'd expect out of a simple item-collecting platformer. I liked the animation a lot as a kid. They hide those CP a little too well sometimes.. frequently had 99 with no idea where the last one was. XD
fianovale 30 Dec 2019 20:13
Hi! the cheevs triggered when entering debug mode :(
Deonix 23 Jan 2020 13:18
Why did they hide the Cool Points that are REQUIRED to complete the level? And as if thats not enough, they added a timer. Level Designer idiot? However, I played Aladdin and Earthworm Jim, so I know the answer to this question.
Deonix 23 Jan 2020 13:19
Great games, but there are these moments that are just annoying! It's like a spoon of shit in a barrel of honey. Unlike "Eeathworm Jim", there is literally nothing here but the collection of Cool Points.
Deonix 23 Jan 2020 13:19
And yes, I beat this game many times and every time it annoys me.
DryIce53 27 Jan 2020 01:51
funny point of gaming:is the second game using reggae song...the first was super mario 3 1-1 world XD is most rarely to hear reage in gaming xdd
AfroRyan 23 Oct 2022 03:15
A shame that the superior Genesis/Megadrive version is lacking so many achievements compared to the SNES version. I spelled UNCOLA for the first time today, and beat the game for the first time in probably 2 decades, but only got 5 achievements. What's there isn't bad, but there really should be at least one for beating the game.
Scott 23 Oct 2022 16:02
Agreed! This set needs a revision for sure
AfroRyan 15 Nov 2022 06:35
If there is a revision, I'd also like to request a leaderboard or two for high score/speedruns.
DryIce53 23 Nov 2022 19:54
beat a boss? cool spot area doesn't exist boss,cool spot is the boss xd...really no exist boss than the bonus sound more a boss.

DryIce53 14 Jun 2023 04:33
punny mastered...well i ve played Difficult Mode because goes too chill the play, anyways in Difficult Mode is mostly exigence 97% to clear the level or time out and the time goes most fasther...dont get stand for long time goes like a bonus level the time...
DryIce53 8 Jul 2023 17:32
re-loaded chevos :D
TehCupcakes 20 Aug 2023 18:37
Thanks for the excellent revision! This was my first mastered game on RetroAchievements, so it seemed only fitting that I re-master with the new achievements. :) Love this game.
Aros2k 24 Aug 2023 20:42
I wish people would stop adding hundreds of new cheevos to good sets, it puts people off playing them. Why not work on games with no cheevos?
AfroRyan 24 Aug 2023 21:05
@Aros2k Being a bit hyperbolic, aren't we? I added straight progression achievements and game completion achievements to this set. Prior to this the set was comprised exclusively of 100% cool point challenges. I'd argue *that* puts people off of playing them; I don't feel most players want a set made up exclusively of challenges with no progression achievements whatsoever. In any case, there is a new game completion tracking system being prepared for the site, and the old version of this set would not have been able to properly track that. You may want to prepare yourself: many sets will be seeing revisions in the near future in order to facilitate this new game completion tracking system.
Scott 25 Aug 2023 08:52
I appreciate the frustration of mastering a game then finding out there are still more achievements to get that have been added. However Cool Spot was one of the first ever games to receive achievements (just under 10 1/2 years ago) and I never got around to making this into a full well-rounded set that shows off all areas of the game. I completely approve of this revision by AfroRyan, high quality stuff, especially as it sets us up nicely for the new "completion" badges

the 2 toy levels are thee worst levels. radical rails was missing 2 spots.
