Gamecube on RA
A few days ago, after months of waiting, achievements for the Gamecube are finally available !
The hype was so big that RA's website was down for a moment.
To celebrate the occasion, a launch event was organized. You get points for beating a Gamecube game, and in the end you get a special badge depending on the amount of points you got.
The Gamecube was the console I grew up with, so I'll try to master as many games as I can !
MKDD's achievement set
I started with MKDD, as this is the game I played the most back in the days :)
Still, it was no easy feat.
There's two achievements that require you beating the all cup tours (150CC and Mirror) with 160 points. That means getting 1st everytime, and not losing once.
This can be tough, as MKDD is the game where Park Baby was introduced, and you're never safe from a blue shell hitting you just before the finish line.
Also, you need the beat every staff ghost. The one I struggled the most was Dino Dino Jungle. I spent more than 3 hours perfecting my lines and retrying that bridge booster section.
Free tip: there's an achievement for beating a staff ghost without using mushrooms, and that was pretty easy to do on DK's Moutain. Just cross the gap at the end of the lap.
In the end, the set can be beaten easily. However, you need to be good at racing games to master it. It was a great way to replay one of my favorite games, and I even discovered some new things, such as L-Tech, or that staff ghosts even existed in this game !
