Mastered! One of my favorite handhelds beside Seasons. Marin is so cute! Thank you for the set and have fun! :)

Just started this and I'm loving replaying one of my very favorite all-time games with an achievement set. Thank you for this!

I was curious though, why are the "no damage on bosses" achievements NOT marked as missable? The bosses can't be re-fought right? So if you take damage, miss the trophy, and save... it's missed permanently on that run.
Kinlaien 27 Aug 2024 20:53
My favorite sets are ones that push you to 100% complete the game, but do not make you jump through any crazy challenges for the sake of adding them. Thank you for the set.

Mastered #10: What a blast from the past! Only wish there were a few more challenging points here, like 3 hearts, or all 26 Sea Shell Locations

Is there a specific rom version needed? I have the USA, Europe version and I just get "Game could not be identified". Tried a few different cores too, but get the same thing on all of them. Not sure why this isn't working...?
Wolfric 18 Dec 2024 13:54
@blkhwks19 did you sort it out? If not, PM/DM me
RuSsile 23 Dec 2024 05:59
Holy Abomination in Ganons pants, I got to Eagle's Tower without any deaths;
Not that that is super difficult but I'm not trying to waste time, and the Wrecking Ball which is necessary to complete the tower got stuck in a treasure chest. I'll explain, so you throw the ball at 4 pillars to collapse an entire floor, so far I collapsed 2 pillars, I dragged the to another room where there are 3 enemies with playing card suits on their bellies that change between the 4 suits (hearts, diamonds, clubs, and clover).. I threw the ball into the corner to deal with the enemies. When I finally got all 3 enemies to be in the same suit they disappeared and a chest appeared, but it appeared fused with..
Uhhh the Wrecking Ball..

I tried to pick it up but NO..
It refused to let me grab it..
Instead I kept grabbing the side of the chest.
I said dang I wasted so much time, I'm softlocked out..

I tired warping out of the room with the whistle and also leaving the dungeon and coming back in in hopes that'll reset..
NOPE forever stuck..

I began to lose hope before I read about the screen map warp glitch.
While entering a new screen you immediately press MAP and exit it and the while map will be displaced and glitched out..

At first it didn't work..
Everything glitched, but the ball MIA..
When I did it the 6th time finally the ball went from missing to showing up in another corner..

The glitch gods shed mercy on me lol..

Brings me to an idea..
What if RA saves a backup of your last two saves incase you get handcuffed in a softlock type situation?
Idk I think it sounds kinda helpful .
marshm8low 23 Dec 2024 10:48
maybe more an emulator side option, or an app tier that can backup saves from time to time.. sad story RuSsile
RuSsile 24 Dec 2024 00:38
MASTERED #7
Thanks for the set..
RuSsile 24 Dec 2024 00:42
@marshm8low
Well it's not a story that claimed my game, luckily I glitched the game to error the ball into my favor but still there are game breaking bugs later on into the game. That all being said what can be done is that if you're not physically sure your game will be okay, you can always go to your RA files and make a physical copy of the save file..
But that's only if you have a bad feeling ahead of time.

It's rough when you had no idea and still saved over a game breaking moment leaving you stuck.
raspael 16 Jan 2025 13:11
The "Marin's Dream" achievement gets deactivated if you don't die, but I understand it only happens when you save, right? So, if I die and reset the ROM at that moment, I assume it doesn't count as a death. If that happens, will I lose the chance to get that achievement?
marshm8low 16 Jan 2025 19:08
@raspael you can save and reload your game no problem (after completing a dungeon per exemple), but if you die during that dungeon, don't 'save and continue' because it will count as a death, just reset and reload

Mastery #75
Definitely a lot leaner of a set than the DX one, but I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. This one is very basic for the players who want a quick, easy master that runs them through all of the requirements for a 100% file with some additional challenges.
Good game, good set, though I still think I'd recommend DX over this one every day.

ManicEraser 29 Jan 2025 00:25
๐Ÿ‘‘ 49. Love this game. Not a particularly difficult set for anybody who's experienced with the game. But it's a nice little warmup for the DX version, which has some more in-depth achievements, and which I will be tackling next.
