Introduction:

Joe Danger has made a much welcomed leap from psn to xbla in the form of a special edition! This means that xbox users get a great new lab mode with tons of extra challenges to get Joe back on his bike. The game starts out simple but you will soon discover that the later levels like to kick you in the knickers with some crazy platforming challenges and time trials. So lets get Joe back on his bike doing what he loves! Performing daring stunts over western themed stunt environments collecting stars, slamming down on targets, landing crazy over the top combos, and beating team nasty by beating them and then beating them again to the finish line! This isn't monday madness. This is more of a saturday madness because instead of watching lame modern childrens cartoons you will feel the urge to become further aquanted with J-J-Joe D-D-D-Danger!

 

Playthrough:

The great part of the game is you can either begin starting the main career or start on the lab experiments and can continue to swap back and forth as you see fit. You can always replay levels to get any of the stars you've missed and certain levels feature Pro Medals which require you complete every challenge in the level in one go. Don't sweat it though, you only need to collect all the stars in a level for the achievements. However if you are feeling savvie enough these Pro Medals can unlock an addition roster of amusing playable characters. Also note that any of the stars you obtain in the lab experiments don't count towards "Danger is My Middle Name" so you only need to collect enough stars in the Lab to unlock all of the levels.

 

Unlockables:

There are 25 Pro Medals to collect in the game throughout the Career and Lab. There aren't any achievements tied to the Pro Medals but they unlock characters, gamer pictures and can also be redeemed in future Hello-Games! (Whatever that means. Hopefully hinting at future xbla projects.) The unlocks are as follows;

 

2 Pro Medals - Chuckles the Chimp costume

4 Pro Medals - Chicken Joe costume

5 Pro Medals - Joe Danger gamer picture

6 Pro Medals - Sir Bonehead costume

8 Pro Medals - Hot Pink Team Nasty costume

10 Pro Medals - Joe-ronimo costume

13 Pro Medals - Knuckles the Chimp costume

16 Pro Medals - Knight of Doom costume

20 Pro Medals - Cock-A-Doodle-Joe costume

25 Pro Medals - SE Pro Medal gamer picture

 

Sandbox:

Included in the game is a sandbox mode / level editor. It's not achievement related. The sandbox mode is just a place to have fun and create. I've made a guide for sandbox mode that can be found in this thread -> http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=350053

 

Conclusion:

After completing the main game and lab there will be 180 stars to collect and collection achievements are recieved along the way. To get the full 200http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.jpg you will have to be persistent and patient because the stars in later levels can be very challenging particularily in the Director's Cut levels. The platforming is tight and the game is very fun so it shouldn't feel like a grind. Happy platforming!

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2172/UP7kO+E=.jpgBACK ON THE BIKE 5http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Complete the first two levels

 

First achievement in the game. Simply finish "Joe Danger Returns" and "Back In The Saddle". Just cross the finish line. You don't need to collect any stars for it to unlock.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2172/UPvfKdc=.jpgMAESTRO OF MADNESS! 10http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Conquer the first challenges in the lab to become the Maestro of Madness!

 

In the Lab "Danger Laboratories" complete all levels up to and including the "Trial of Madness" to become the Maestro of Madness! Any of the stars you get in these levels will count towards the miscellanious collecting achievements except "Danger is My Middle Name". You don't have to earn all of the stars in the Lab to earn the five Lab related achievements. The only requirement is that you collect enough stars to unlock and complete all of the levels in each set.

Unlock the credits level

 

In "Grand Finale" in Career finish the race level "The Bomb" and the achievement will pop up.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2172/UP1Q0JU=.jpgCOMBO KING! 5http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Get a level Combo Star

 

A combo star is awarded for finishing the level with 100% combo. On some longer levels with checkpoints you can bail and start your combo back up again at the checkpoint. As long as the 100% combo star at the side reads ACTIVE you will get a star at the end of a level. If you lose your combo after a checkpoint you can press :back: to reload the last checkpoint and start your combo up again. To maintain a combo you will need to be in an almost constant manual by holding back the :ls:. You can still hold down :xbut: to duck under hurdles when in a manual. You can also manual in place to recharge your boost without losing your combo if you need to.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2172/UPrTMtk=.jpgMONEY GRABBER! 10http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Get 5 Coin Dash stars

 

A coin dash star is a timed dash to collect all the spawing coins before time runs out. They can be found anywhere in the level and are triggered by collecting a large red coin. A timer will start to go off letting you know how long you have to collect all the remaining coins before they disappear. You can do this either in the Lab or the Career though I would recommend just doing this in career since you have to get all stars in Career anyways for "Danger is My Middle Name".

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2172/UPjyO2w=.jpgSTAY ON TARGET! 10http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Get 5 Target Stars

 

A Target Star is achieved by hitting all the targets in the stage. To hit a target you need to be airborne and land on it. If you miss one you can always reverse and try again the the track allows it. The first level that has a target star is "Joe Danger Returns Again" in Stunt Weekly. Stars you earn in either Career or the Lab will count towards this.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2172/UP8Ew3I=.jpgCOLLECTOR 10http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Collect all Pickups on 8 levels

 

You can tell which levels have pickups if they have that blue star medallion in them. When you start the level there will be a collector counter down at the bottom right. The collectables also change shape based on the costume you select. All of the stars are found generally in groups or lines arching off jumps that generally don't require you to go out of your way to get. If you have to switch lanes make sure you stick with the ones that have the collectibles. Take it slow so you can collect them all and if you miss a couple you can always restart at a checkpoint by pressing :back:. The very first level that you play in career "Joe Danger Returns" has a collectable star in it.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2172/UP9x2SA=.jpgSPEED DEMON! 5http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Get a Time Star

 

You get a time star for crossing the finish line before the timer runs out. The first level that has a time star is "Joe's Got Style, a Groovy Style" in Stunt Weekly. You should manual and do flips and tricks in the air to keep your boost guage constantly flowing. It's beneficial to use boost in spurts instead of using it all in one go. This way you can refill your boost meter fast if you snag on something. For the longer time stars you're going to need to scope out the level a few times and find the path with the fastest route. Remember that going top speed and flying over the level is not always the best option especially if you're blindly flying into each section of the map.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2172/UP6RIbM=.jpgDETECTIVE! 10http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Find 3 Hidden Stars

 

These stars are generally hidden in high up or out of the way areas. The hidden stars you collect in the lab count towards this achievement as well. To get it fast get both hidden stars in "Joe's Got Style, a Groovy Style", then head over to The Lab in "Aerodynamics" and find the secret star there. Sometimes the stars are hidden beneath boxes so if you're having troubles finding a particular star take the level slow and keep exploring each path in the level until you find it.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2172/UPqmKIs=.jpgNINJA STARS! 5http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Get 4 stars in one run

 

There are plently of levels with four stars in them, but managing to get all 4 in one round can prove a challenge. To do this the easy way go to the lab "Oxidants Happen" in the level "Puzzlement". First what you will want to do is go far the the right until you see 3 orange blocks. Theres a star in the middle one so just stack the other two boxes on top to get them out of the way. Working left we see a long red box with 5 coins around the outside. Open up your toolbox and place a bouncy pad under the "hidden" star. A little further left and you will find a shark tank by some more floating coins. Use your toolbox to place the quarter pipe to collect the coins and place a star bridge over the sharks tank so you can collect all the coins without going for a swim (ner ner ner ner). Then take the long red box and drag it over to the first box placing the smaller red box on top so you can collect the hidden star easily. When you go to attempt it you will need to get a 100% combo. If you do the level right you will end up with 2 secret stars, 1 coin Dash Star and a Combo/Coin star.

Send 1 level to a friend

 

You can send the level to any gamercard on your friends list. Go to the sandbox, choose a level you've saved then scroll right to upload. Select the account and send. The achievement will pop up right after you send the level.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2172/UP0lysc=.jpgBEAT THEM AT THEIR OWN GAME! 5http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Receive 1 level from a friend

 

You can do this on the same xbox. Create a silver account and have that account send you a map in a message. Open the message and download the map and the achievement will unlock.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2172/UPiHIT4=.jpgALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD! 10http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Get 15 Time Stars

 

See "Speed Demon" for more info.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2172/UPln2a0=.jpgTRICK MASTER! 10http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Get 30 Combo Stars

 

See "Combo King" for more info.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2172/UPtG0Bg=.jpgMEGA COMBO! 10http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

Get a x100 combo

 

This is easily done in one of the longer race levels or in sandbox mode. Lean back into a manual with the :ls: and double jump with :xbut: and keep the :ls: held back to do a backflip. If you want to rack up your multiplier quicker you can always tap the :abut: button while facing up to get more air and hit :lbbut: and :rbbut: to do tricks to further increase your multiplier. Just repeat this until your combo gets high enough then land it. The longest race in the game is the "Big Boss" race in "Director's Cut". You should have no problem getting a 100x combo before you finish the level. Alternatively if you are feeling lazy you can load up an empty sandbox level and push the :ls: left to manual then push the :ls: right to endo. Your combo should go up 1x if you rock back and forth fast enough. No jumping required! The achievement doesn't often unlock right away. Sometimes you need to play through another level before it pops up.

 

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/achievements/2172/UPhhxBY=.jpgDANGER IS MY MIDDLE NAME 20http://www.xbox360achievements.org/images/site/gp-g.png

So dangerous they named him twice! Collect all stars in career mode.

 

There are a whopping 180 stars to collect in career mode. You can collect stars in levels one at a time so you don't have to worry about crazy multitasking for the most part. The final race "The Joust" which has two stars in it unlocks after you've collected every other star in career mode (costs 81 stars to unlock). There are 12 different types of stars you will collect throughout career mode.

 

Collector Stars: Collect all of the stars throughout the level. There is a counter down at the bottom right that tells you exactly how many stars you need to collect.

 

Target Stars: For Target Stars you need to be airborne before landing on the target. You will know you have hit a target correctly when stars fly out of the target.

 

Combo Stars: For a Combo Star you need to stay in constant combo until you cross the finish line. There will be an indicator at the side showing whether or not your combo is still active. If you crash or lost your combo you can restart at a previous checkpoint and begin your combo again and you will still get the star.

 

Hidden Stars: Most of the hidden stars aren't as "hidden" as the title implies. Just keep a lookout for them as you progress through the level.

 

Coin Dash Stars: Coin Dash stars are triggered by collecting the large red coin in the level. Just follow the linear coin path and if you don't manage to collect them before time runs out just restart at the previous checkpoint.

 

DANGER Stars: Just collect all 6 letters of DANGER as you progress through the level.

 

Time Trial Stars: Finish the level under the time limit.

 

Race Stars: You must come in first to earn a race star. If you're having trouble just catch up to first place and use :bbut: to knock them off their bike.

 

Target/Time Trial Stars: These can be a bit tricky. Just go straight for the targets and take lots of shortcuts where you can. Time your boosting well so that you hit the target and don't jump right over it. Fill your boost guage by flipping whenever you're airborne and manual constantly. Hit all of the targets and finish the level under the par time.

 

Target/Combo Stars: Most of these are easy because you can take your time. Keep a manual going whenever you're on the ground and just go straight for the targets. You have to 100% combo the level and hit all of the targets to earn the star.

 

Coin Dash/Combo Stars: These are found on levels where the Coin Dash is the only Star objective. Complete the Coin Dash and finish the level with 100% combo.

 

Bowling Stars: There are only three bowling levels in Career mode. You'll have 2 attempts to knock over all of the Pins/Mega Pins. Use :rbbut: to glide and :lbbut: to curl up.

You can send and receive the level from an xbox live silver account. Tested both last night to make sure.

 

EDIT: Also your online/offline gamerscore is a little off, it should be:

-Offline (18 for 190http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg)

-Online (2 for 10http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/../images/site/gp-g.jpg)

Looking good, heres a bit of contstructive criticism,

 

Some achievements need a little more detail adding to them, from what I have read a lot of the descriptions dont have enough detail to enable us to get the achievements, im sure you will update this as you go along tho.

 

But it is looking good and has helped me a little, keep up the good work :drunk

i have all stars so far and now im on directors cut :/ i just crap myself by looking at the events on there lol or are they easy ?

 

the directors cut levels are rediculous! i still have 9 stars left to get in the directors cut and they are not easy. no checkpoints and tons of spikes and other mean platforming obstacles. extra life, infinite ammo and insert disk 2 are all really hard and i still havent played the joust.

i recognise some of the track layouts and i have high scores on them already these are just tracks out of the lab but without no checkpoints :(

yeah the no checkpoints thing is a real pain. they have a couple levels that they redid in the lab and the directors cut is all just harder versions of previous levels with more spikes and less room for error thats without mentioning the lack of checkpoints.

I have 100%'d all levels with the exception of the level before last. Its the WORST thing ever made. I wanna rip my hair out just thinking of that level. Ugh...

 

The unholy level that is Insert Disk 2. I have all 25 pro medals and 100% in the lab but I have yet to even complete this one. I've been close several times but I keep messing up near the last 20 or so coins.

 

EDIT: Beat the level 5 mins after the post haha

I could be wrong but the alternative way to get the MEGA COMBO achievement seems to be incorrect or just glitched for me because I tried on my ladies account and no achievement. We'll just wait for the later tracks rather than the sandbox mode.

 

EDIT: Yeah it was a bit glitchy because I did it 4 times (not edit mode either) and nothing but as soon as I deleted my track, it unlocked at the main menu. Weird. Thanks.

I would really change the difficulty. It fits for the first 180 but getting the all the stars in the DC levels is hard as balls. That really puts it up to an 7 or 8.

 

It's for the sake of all the people that come looking for a road map and wanna see how hard it is. This guide makes it seem MUCH easier than it actually is.

 

But that aside, perfect guide!

Really? I was thinking maybe a 6 for the last couple levels but a 7 or 8 seems a little high although some were pretty hard.

 

thanks for the feedback I had forgotten I only gave it a 5.

Well, I always consider the average gamer. For me personally, yeah, it was not hard at all getting to Insert disk two, but this level still kicks my ass right now ^^

 

When you played Trials HD before this and finished all levels on expert, this will be way easier.

 

But that's just my opinion. A 6 is fine ;P

 

But if they had an achievement for getting all the Pro medals, well, that would ramp up the shit to an 8 in a second :D

Haha actually the pro medals are wayy easier to get than the last few directors cut levels. I dont think there was one pro medal i couldnt get within the first 10 or so attempts. This game is a cakewalk compared to trials expert levels.
