-This should go without saying, but do not use cheats. Doing so will disable all achievements and leaderboards.

-If you loaded a custom park, you must reset PCSX2 to enable the pre-made park gap achievements. Resetting ensures that the default custom park is loaded in memory.

-I personally verified all “The Floor is Lava” style challenge achievements. Some abilities are needed for some of them to be possible.

Added 4 new easter egg achievements on 2023-02-14

XBOX360 has great achievements set for this one. I think it's worth to copy them to be able afford the same experience. Good idea will be achievements for unlocking secrets. And additionally leaderboards for every level would be great.

Thanks for the input. First, RA developers are not allowed to copy official sets. See here.

Second, I don’t share the same opinion about the 360 set. It has online achievements, achievements for beating default high scores of 2000 (which can be done in a single trick), and repeated badges for every achievement.

Of course, I will include full progression and 100% completion of the game, so it will be similar in that regard.

I strongly advise anyone who's going to play the set to continuously back up the memorycard before saving in game, my game hardlocked during a save, so I had to quit out the emulator. After that, my save file was corrupted and not usable anymore.

Edit: It happens when saving while being in a custom made, or pre-made park, at least that's what I can only assume. Happened the first time when I saved in "Cool", now happened again, this time in "Ji Land 5". Also happened a third time while saving in my own custom park. Just be sure to not save the game while in any of the created parks.

The "Complete all 10 goals on Sick" achevements are not unlocking for me. Out of the first 4 levels I completed I only got the Mall achevement.

Rescore Proposal
Timenoe gave me blessing to post a vote

I want to raise some points here just to give a little more value to those playing thru the games progression.

Story Mode
Unlock Areas 3 > 5

Classic Mode
Unlock Stages 3 > 5
Complete All Goals On Classic Sick 5 > 10

Rescore Proposal

Old Skool Marseilles 10 > 25
Old Skool Atlanta 10 > 25

Atlanta and Marseilles, for some reason are forgotten by almost all players... maybe because the classic mode itself ends in the ruins. You can't even find videos on YouTube on how to draw a good path to get all the goals in a single attempt. It requires a certain study and time to get these achievements, not to mention the difficulty.


Teen Girl Squad 1 > 10
MSG'd!! 5 > 10

I searched for HOURS for these two achievements. I didn't find anything on the internet except for a single site that doesn't even offer the correct information. The site talks about "when you walk weird" in the Teen Girl Squad achievement. I thought about giving up the set several times because nothing worked haha I looked for help from other players and the user BatFastardJordy had to broadcast via discord to show how it's done because after all, there is no video on youtube that shows either of the two glitches.


Wallplant Combo Flashbacks 10 > 50

This achievement is extremely difficult. I don't even know how I'm going to make it yet, I've been stuck on it for hours. It could be that I'm bad at the game, but this is clearly the hardest achievement in the set in terms of ingame skill.
