Recommended Posts

I created this Roadmap & Achievement Guide, as there was a Roadmap needed, and I felt there wasn't enough information in the original Achievement Guide. There were some great tips included in it, of which I have put in here. Credit to NightReflection

Introduction:

 

F1 Race stars is not your typical F1 Racing game, but it certainly is not a Mario Kart clone. Don’t think that just because you can play Mario Kart, you can pick this up and play instantly – You cannot! It takes some skill to get used to the controls of the game, especially the 3,000cc class. You’ll be using both triggers more than most Kart-style games. The game can become very frustrating at times, and may feel like you just cannot win. However, when in career mode, you do not necessarily have to win EVERY race. In fact, you can come third in all the races, and still be first on the leaderboard.

 

Part 1: Career

 

Firstly, I would recommend playing through the career on 1,000cc to at least get the hang of the game. Some tracks can be a bit tough, and some corners can be a bit tight. The game has something called “Kers” which can come in very handy. These help you get around corners slowly and boost away at high speed.

Once you have played a few career events on 1,000cc, you may want to try and up your game and go for 2,000cc or even 3,000cc. It is worth noting that it does not matter what difficulty you do the career on, you will still get the achievements.

 

 

Part 2: Multiplayer

 

After you have completed the career, You should have (at least)the following achievements:

 

-Career is GO!

-Career 25%

-Career 50%

-Career 75%

-Career 100%

-Shelf Promotion

-Player of Games

-Taste of Victory

 

You may have picked up a few of the other achievements along the way, but if not, we can cover them in the next part.

 

I would advise getting your second controller and going for the multiplayer achievements. Firstly, you should start up a splitscreen game, and aim for winning 6 games in a row. If you’re going to lose one at any point, simply pause and hit “Restart Event”. This method will work. This will now earn you these achievements:

 

-Your Friends are Cool

-Prince of the Screen

-King of King of the Screen

 

Make sure that the account on the second controller is your friend, then get your second controller to set a terrible lap time on one of the tracks, and then with your account, simply beat that time. It will net you the achievement:

 

-Ecto-won

 

Lastly, if you have a Gold subscription, head online and win any single race. You can find a trading thread http://www.xboxachievements.com/forum/showthread.php?t=403884

 

Part 3: 3,000cc and Time Trials

 

By now, you should be pretty good at the game (hopefully), and will have mastered a lot of the tricks. Your best bet is to aim for the 3,000cc wins. There is no right or wrong way to complete these achievements, you should really find what is best for you. This is the setup I used:

 

Racer: Sebastian Vettel

Event: Sector Snatch

Laps: 1

Damage: Disabled

Power Ups: Standard

Modifier: Project Orion

 

With the above set up, all it took was to race one lap and gaining at least 2 sectors. It is worth noting that even if somebody else has the same number of sectors as you, you’ll still get the achievement. This is why Sector Snatch is the best method to use.

So now you have managed to play well on 3,000cc, the hardest achievement of the game is about to come. Head over to time trial and select any racer. Make sure you set it on 3,000cc. My advice is to keep racing the track over and over, taking advantage of every worthwhile shortcut you know.

 

TIP:

 

Race around the course a single time, and save a boost, then just as you are about to cross the start line, use it. This will give you a boost at the very beginning of the lap, and it will still give you your boost to start the lap with. It can shave off upto a second on your time.

Some courses will require some tight turns, but others may come very easily. I found Abu Dhabi the easiest of them all, and as of writing this, I am ranked 17th on the leaderboard.

 

Part 4: The Final Fiddly Bits

 

After you have the time trial achievements, aim to do all the final little achievements. You may have already picked them all up one way or another, but by this point, they should come easily.

 

Conclusion

 

F1 Race Stars can be a bit tedious to begin with, but once you get to grips with the (clunky) controls, you can master the game in less than 30 hours. I put 30 hours, just in case you need a little more time to practice (like me). I managed to get to 1000 by around 27 hours.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2433/-HOTNQ==.jpg Taste of Victory – 5http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/misc/g-icon.gif

You won an event

 

This is an unmissable achievement as a win is required at some point during the game. If you (somehow) haven’t get this by doing the career, then you will get it whilst playing multiplayer – if you follow the Roadmap above.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2433/-ZNrpg==.jpg Red Carpet – 10http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/misc/g-icon.gif

You took a locked shortcut

 

A locked shortcut is a route in the game which is not available until you find the key. Each track has just one of these. The key will appear on every single lap, but will not be these as soon as you start the lap. It will randomly appear as the drivers get nearer to it. If you are in first place, and ahead of the pack, you have NO chance of picking up the key. Most of the time it is just luck that you actually pick it up.

 

The best method to picking up the key is to stay around 3rd place, and drive in the exact spot you know the key will appear. For example, on the bridge in Belgium, hang back and drive towards it’s spot, and you may pick it up the instant it appears. Alternatively, you can try and hang around the exact spot you know the key will appear.

 

Once you have the key, you need to find the door/gate for the shortcut. These will usually have a yellow glitter from them, but when you have the key, they turn purple and are fairly easy to spot. Once you enter the shortcut, the achievement will pop.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2433/+DGAXw==.jpg Career is GO! - 10http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/misc/g-icon.gif

You completed the first championship of your career

 

This is unmissable, as you just need to complete the first cup in your career. This will only pop if you have come 1st, 2nd or 3rd overall. You do not necessarily have to win the races to win the overall to win the championship.

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2433/+dF4zA==.jpg Career 25% - 10http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/misc/g-icon.gif

You completed 8 championships in your career

 

On your career, you just need to place either 1st, 2nd or 3rd overall in 8 different championships for this achievement to pop.

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2433/+-BxeQ==.jpg Career 50% - 25http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/misc/g-icon.gif

You completed 15 championships in your career

 

Carrying on through your career, you simply need to place 1st, 2nd or 3rd in 15 different championships. On some races in your career, you NEED to come 1st overall to advance the career. It is not necessary for this achievement, but it is advisable to complete them sooner rather than later.

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2433/+hCJ6g==.jpg Career 75% - 50http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/misc/g-icon.gif

You completed 23 championships in your career

 

This achievement will pop as you finish your 23rd championship. You will need to complete at least 2 races which require a 1st place overall. They are all listed in Career 100%.

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2433/+Ted5A==.jpg Career 100% - 100http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/misc/g-icon.gif

You completed 30 championships in your career

 

This achievement will pop when you have completed your final championship. Most championships will only require a 1st, 2nd or 3rd placing, but the below will require a 1st place overall:

Mirrored I

Race Stars I

Race Stars II

Crazy Trails

Endurance I

European I

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2433/+Ndldw==.jpg Shelf Promotion – 25http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/misc/g-icon.gif

You filled your career trophy cabinet

 

This will pop, along with your Career 100% achievement, if you have followed every race along from the last. The last one will be Crazy Trails II. It does not matter if the trophy you win is Bronze, Silver or Gold, it will still count towards the achievement. The 8 championships you will need to complete are:

Initiation Cup

European II

World-Class

Endurance II

Elite Skills

Mirrored II

Race Stars III

Crazy Trials II

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2433/+-g62w==.jpg Your Friends are Cool – 10http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/misc/g-icon.gif

You completed a championship in your career in a splitscreen team

 

Use a second controller and start up a splitscreen game. Ideally, it would be best if you played with an actual gamertag, as it comes in handy for other achievements later on in the game. You do not need to win the championship, you just need to come at least 1st, 2nd or 3rd to be safe. This can be done on “Career” or just “Play”.

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2433/+dkzbg==.jpg Internet Famous – 25http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/misc/g-icon.gif

You won an online event

 

This achievement will require you to have a Gold subscription. Select Play Online from the main menu and select Quick Game. Choose which sort of event you want to race in and join it. The problem is that not many people actually play this game online, and it can take a while to actually find a random game. The next problem is that you MUST win the event. 2nd or 3rd will not count to the achievement. The AI players also race online, and as in single player, they can become a nuisance at times. To find a partner to race online with, you can use this thread: http://www.xboxachievements.com/forum/showthread.php?t=403884

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2433/+DnL-Q==.jpg Fish in a Barrel – 10http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/misc/g-icon.gif

You used power-ups against 3 drivers who are withing range of the safety car (globals not included)

 

This is a fairly simple achievement, but the setup of it can be a bit difficult. The best option is to set a race to 9 laps on any track and play. When you pick up a Pulse (The purple circle Power Up), try to get to the font of the pack. Now you play the waiting game, and wait for another player to use the Safety Car Power Up. You’ll know it has been used when the sirens are going off and there is a very slow car in front of you. With any luck, there will be a few people around you. You can check by looking behind you. When you think you have at least 3 people within range, use the pulse. If it has worked, the achievement will pop along with Heavyweight.

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2433/-ZsgBA==.jpg Heavyweight – 10http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/misc/g-icon.gif

You affected 3 drivers with a single Pulse

 

Use the method described in Fish In A Barrel to get this one. Or to simply go for it, just pick up a Pulse Power Up, get to a crowd of drivers, and use it. No waiting for the Safety Car. It is advisable to wait for the Safety Car, as you are hitting two birds with one stone.

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2433/-HvYlw==.jpg Fully Automatic – 10http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/misc/g-icon.gif

You hit the same driver three times with a 3x Ricochet Bubble

 

This can be done on any game mode – Except Time Trial – and can be a little tricky to pull off.

The easiest method is to get your second controller and start racing until you pick up the 3x Ricochet Bubble (the Yellow Bubbles). At this point, your second driver must not be still. Now, aim yourself at him and fire… Wait 5 seconds, then fire again. Wait another 5 seconds and fire again. Achievement gained!

Alternatively, you can try it against the AI. It can be trickier, but still obtainable. Best done when on 1,000cc, as everybody goes slower.

You made an impact with each type of power-up

 

There are multiple Power Ups to be used in the game. Some have variations which must be used and count at two. For example, the Ricochet Bubble, and the Ricochet Bubble X3 count as 2 DIFFERENT Power Ups. This is the list of Power Ups you need to use on a driver:

 

Balloons

A Driver will need to drive into your balloons.

 

Boost

You will need to either ram somebody so as their car breaks, or overtake.

 

Boost X3

You will need to either ram somebody so as their car breaks, or overtake.

 

Bottle Rocket

You will need to hit at least one driver along the way.

 

Drag Reduction System

You will need to crash into at least one driver when equipped.

 

Pulse

You will need a driver to be in the blue circle when you set it off.

 

Pulse Bubble

You will need to either hit somebody with the purple bubble, or be in range when it detonated.

 

Rain Cloud

This will affect one driver regardless.

 

Ricochet Bubble

You will need at least one driver to get caught in the Yellow Bubble.

 

Ricochet Bubble X3

You will need at least one driver to get caught in the Yellow Bubble.

 

Seeker Bubble

You will need at least one driver to get caught in the Red Bubble.

 

Seeker Bubble X3

You will need at least one driver to get caught in the Red Bubble.

 

Trap Bubble

You will need at least one driver to get caught in the Blue Bubble.

 

Trap Bubble X3

You will need at least one driver to get caught in the Blue Bubble.

 

Safety Car

This will affect the driver in 1st place regardless.

 

Static

This will affect all drivers regardless.

 

Teleport

As long as you move up at least one place, the overtake will count.

 

Wet Weather

This will affect all drivers regardless.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2433/5-syScM=.jpg Jump Boost Expert – 25http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/misc/g-icon.gif

You triggered 50 jump boosts

 

A jump boost is when your car is in the air, and when it lands on the ground, you get a boost from it. This is manoeuvre is essential when you start racing on 3,000cc. When your car is up in the air, let go of the accelerator, then as your car is about to land pull the accelerator trigger

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2433/5-rSsVA=.jpg Slipstreamer – 5http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/misc/g-icon.gif

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2433/5-9wWqk=.jpg Slipstream Expert - 25http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/misc/g-icon.gif

You slipstreamed past 50 drivers

 

As you are driving behind another driver, you will see some lines appear. They will start Yellow, and then go Red. All you need to do is overtake the person in front. The best way to obtain this is to play on 1,000cc as either Webber or Vettel.

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2433/5-6Qojo=.jpg Shortcut Expert – 10http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/misc/g-icon.gif

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2433/5-sBcN8=.jpg Around The World – 50http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/misc/g-icon.gif

You won an event on every track at 3,000cc

 

For these achievements to count, you MUST win the race. Coming 2nd or 3rd will not count towards the achievement. I found the setup below the best way of winning each track on 3,000cc:

 

Racer: Sebastian Vettel

Event: Sector Snatch

Laps: 1

Damage: Disabled

Power Ups: Standard

Modifier: Project Orion

 

There is no right or wrong way to tackle these tracks at 3,000cc, it’s more a case of finding what style of racing you are best at and then setting it up to suit you. The reason I chose Sector Snatch is because there are only usually about 7 sectors in each track, and as long as you at least draw for first, the achievement is yours.

 

Another method is to stretch the race out to give you a better chance of getting to the front and staying there.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2433/5-kgeWo=.jpg Qualifying Lap – 10http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/misc/g-icon.gif

You set a Time Trial record

 

Very simple, head over to Time Trial, start a race and just complete the first lap. It does not matter how fast or how slow you do this, any time will suffice.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2433/5-yCkpM=.jpg Gold Time – 100http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/misc/g-icon.gif

You earned a gold Time Trial record on all tracks

 

This will be the hardest and most frustrating achievement in the entire game. The Bronze and Silver achievements will come with ease by the time you attempt this, but the Gold will require time, patience and knowledge of the tracks. You will need to make use of most shortcuts in the game, but not all. The Locked shortcuts are not available for use on Time Trial, and some shortcuts actually take longer to use (i.e. the one in the Canyon on USA).

You will need to race each track on 3,000cc to even get close to Gold Lap times, and you will need to use your boosts at just the right times and use them efficiently. Here are a few tips to use:

 

- Race around the track once, and save your boost. As you are about to cross the start line, use your boost to give your next lap a boosting start.

- Keep as close to the inside as you can without hitting the sides.

- When using Kers, only accelerate OR brake… NEVER use both at the same time.

- Use Jump Boosts at any time your car goes up in the air.

 

Here are some tips on specific tracks:

 

Belgium:

-As you go in the first building, use the ledge on the right for a boost.

-As you exit the building, take an immediate right for the shortcut, and boost off the ledge.

 

Germany:

-Immediately after the first Kers corner, take the shortcut immediately on your left.

-Right at the end of the track, there is a sharp right turn to cut out most of the Kers. Use it, but you should still at least get a Blue Boost from the end of the Kers.

 

Italy:

-Use your first boost to cut across the gravel at the beginning.

-Use the small ramps after the long sweeping bend.

-After the last ramp do NOT pick up the booster, use the Red Zipper instead.

-After going round the Coliseum bend, go to the left and over the ramp for a Jump Boost.

 

Brazil:

-As soon as the race starts, don’t use the first Kers, Boost across the grass and use the Red Zippers.

-After the second Kers, take the left path, and boost onto the roof. At the end of the roof, Boost again.

-After the next Kers, the road splits. Take the left path all the way, and then over the Lily Pads.

-As you sweep to your left, the narrow shortcut will be there. Brake, and use it.

-In the cave at the end, boost through the water to gain another boost, and then use it immediately after.

 

Abu Dhabi:

-After the Roller Coaster Section, there will be a thin strip of gravel. Boost across it.

-After you have passed through the building, over the moving platforms and back on the sand, there will be a shortcut in front of you on the right side. Boost to use it.

-After the above shortcut, and after the next Kers Corner, aim straight, and over the ramp, avoiding the tornado.

-Finish the lap in the pit lane. It is much quicker. Brake and turn into the pit, picking up the boost, and then use it immediately.

 

Monaco:

-On the first Kers Corner, aim to go over the grass with the Kers Boost, and your own Boost.

-After picking up the next boost, turn sharply over the grass and use the boost.

-As you come to the Kers just before entering the building, pick up the boost and then use the Kers to get a Red Boost all the way through. At the other end, aim for the grass, and as soon as you touch the grass, boost!

-Immediately after the grass, swerve to the right and use the path to go over the yellow floats.

 

Singapore:

-When you are zipped into the air, hold right until you’re about to hit the floor, then let go.

 

Australia:

-After you have passed through the Arena, take the path on the right over the water

-When you come to the end of this, keep right next to the water and use the Red Zipper to get over the grass.

-In the area with the trams, shortly before you turn right, there will be a gap with the slope. Boost over it.

 

Great Britain:

-Right after one of the Kers Corners early on, the road will have an opening to some dirt on the right. Boost down here and along the Red Zippers.

-After this, there are 2 opportunities to Jump Boost. Use them.

-After the next Kers Corner, do not pick up the booster, drive straight over the brown section in the middle of the roundabout. Perform a Jump Boost from this.

-After the Harrier Jump Jets, boost through the puddles from the Kers, and your Power Up.

 

USA:

-Right after the first Kers Corner, drift to your left, and up the ramp. Perform a Jump Boost.

-After the second Kers Corner, head to the right into the Barn and perform a Jump Boost.

-There are some ”shortcuts” coming up. Do not bother with them, they are too risky and will only slow you down.

-After passing the damn and through the tunnel. Boost over the grass immediately to the right, but do not go over the second bit of grass to the left.

-After boosting over the Goal Posts, do not attempt to pass under the Mechanical Dinosaur, you can head around it and pick up a boost. Use this on the final Kers Corner.

 

Japan:

-When going over the wooden boardwalk after the second Kers, do not use your brake. Keep accelerating the whole way.

-Use the Kers right before the train, and then as you land on the train, perform a Jump Boost.

-Perform another jump boost as you fall from the train. Keep right to get another Power Up. Use it and immediately go left to perform another Jump Boost from the ledge.

-After the house with the robotic women, don’t take the shortcut to the left. Follow the track to the right and get a Red Boost from the Kers.

-As you go up the hill from the above Kers, you will have a quick chance for a Jump Boost.

-As you go through the Sumo Arena, don’t try to avoid them. You should pass through 9 times out of 10.

You completed one of event in each race mode

 

This achievement is unmissable. As you progress through your career, you will play the 8 different types of event. These are:

Races

Sector Snatch

Refuel

Slalom

Trophy Chase

Elimination

Pole Position

Exhibition

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2433/5-9DY7U=.jpg Exhibition Rush – 25http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/misc/g-icon.gif

You earned 1,000 Exhibition points in under 5 seconds

 

This will more than likely come without even trying. It can be obtained just by playing on Belgium. If you get into first place, get a Red Boost on the Kers before the loop, it will pop as you are circling the loop. The reason being, you’ll get 800 points for being in first and Red Boosting on Kers, and then 200 or 400 for boosting on the Red Zipper immediately after.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2433/5-2Ejyg=.jpg Vapours – 25http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/misc/g-icon.gif

You won a Refuel event with an empty tank

 

This can be done easily with the right timing. The best option is to get yourself ahead of the pack by at least 10 seconds. As you go around the track pick up the fuel tanks you need, and as you are getting to the end, avoid them all like the plague. The final line of fuel on your icon will last you around 12 seconds. So if you time it right, you will run out of fuel as you are approaching the finish line. When it flashed on screen “No Fuel”, now is the time you’ll want to finish.

When you have no fuel, you will keep moving, but very slowly.

You owned the whole track in Sector Snatch

 

Sector Snatch is simply driving from one checkpoint to the next as quickly as possible. If you set your race to 1,000cc with the Project Orion modifier on, you can quickly get through the track.

 

Make sure you are not last, or near the back of the pack. The further back you are, the more time it will add onto your actual time. So, if you pass from one checkpoint to the next in 10.52 seconds, it will add time, and your final time will be 15.52 seconds.

 

If you’re at the front of the pack, no time gets added on.

 

Remember, all tracks have a locked shortcut, and most have a sector in this locked shortcut. Keep note of this and make sure not to set laps to 1.

 

For example, on Belgium, there is a sector in the locked shortcut, for which you need the key. However, the key and the shortcut cannot be used in the same lap.

You hit another driver after being eliminated

 

This cannot be obtained in Single Player unless you are incredibly lucky. Your best option is to play split screen and make sure you are in last place. After this, you will be eliminated, but the second player must keep racing. Once you are eliminated, you will be given the Pulse Power Up to use whenever you like (after it has taken a few seconds to charge). Now, just find a racer still in the race, and use the Pulse on him. The achievement will pop after this.

You made a nearby driver drop 600 points in Trophy Chase

 

In Trophy chase, you simply have to collect the trophy icons which are scattered across the track. Each trophy is worth 100 points, which means your opponent has to drop at least 6 trophies. If you are hit by a weapon, or hit an obstacle, you lose your collected trophies based on the amount:

1,000 points = lose 1 trophy (100 points)

2,000 points = lose 2 trophies (200 points)

3,000 points = lose 3 trophies (300 points)

4,000 points = lose 4 trophies (400 points)

5,000 points = lose 5 trophies (500 points)

6,000 points = lose 6 trophies (600 points)

7,000 points = lose 7 trophies (700 points)

8,000 points = lose 8 trophies (800 points)

9,000 points = lose 9 trophies (900 points)

10,000+ points = lose 10 trophies (1,000 points)

You beat a friend's Time Trial lap

 

Make sure that the account on the second controller is your friend, then get your second controller to set a terrible lap time on one of the tracks, and then with your account, simply beat that time. It will net you the achievement

 

Alternatively, you can find somebody to assist in this thread:

You reached King of the Screen level 6

 

For this achievement, you need to win 6 events one after the other. For Prince of the Screen, it is only 3 events in a row. You’ll need another controller for this. Firstly, you should start up a splitscreen game, and aim for winning 6 games in a row. If you’re going to lose one at any point, simply pause and hit “Restart Event”. This method not invalidate any progress towards the achievement.

You reached one event with each constructor

 

There are a total of 28 characters in 14 teams of 2. You will only need to race as one player from each team. So as not to forget who you have played with, start with Vettel or Webber and work your way along.

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2433/5-2OiZ0=.jpg Pitmaster – 10http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/misc/g-icon.gif

You repaired in the pits 10 times

 

I’d say this one is unmissable, as you will enter the pit more than 10 times before you even get to the Career 25% achievement. The achievement is cumulative, and doesn’t have to be done in a single event or championship.

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2433/5-oNa9E=.jpg Bingo! - 25http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/misc/g-icon.gif

You used a power-up against every opponent on the track (globals not included)

 

The best way of obtaining this is setting the race to 9 laps and setting the Power Ups to Bubbles Only. This will give you a higher chance of hitting the other players. There will be 11 players to target in any single race, so if you keep yourself out a first place, you should get them all within a few laps. It will pop when you have hit the 11th racer, so you do not need to finish the race.

I kept track of who I had hit, so I could easily target somebody else with my power up and not waste it.

 

 

 

SECRET ACHIEVEMENTS

 

 

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2433/-lrRIg==.jpg Whoops – 10http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/misc/g-icon.gif

You hit yourself with your own Richochet Bubble

 

A straightforward achievement, and in all honesty, you will probably get this at some point in your career. All it needs to be is a Yellow Ricochet Bubble that you fired needs to hit you. If you haven’t gotten this by accident at any point, start a race with Bubbles Only, pick a Yellow Ricochet Bubble up, find a wall and park a few feet away looking directly at it. Now fire your Bubble. It will bounce back and hit you. Achievement pops.

You earned 3,141 badges

 

If you’re following the Roadmap, then chances are you’ll get this before you get onto the Time Trials. You’ll get around 300 badges per hour while racing. Badges include:

 

Taking Shortcuts

Hitting other players

Boosting on Kers

Overtaking

When I got to the 1000http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/misc/g-icon.gif point, I’d had around 10,000 badges, but I had been playing just for fun sometimes.
