  • How to unlock Marathon

    There is a good chance that you will have the majority of the game completed BEFORE getting this achievement.

    "Marathon" will pop right after crossing the finish line on the race/event that puts you past the 5 hour "game" time mark. I can confirm that the time counted down is definitely in game events ONLY. It does not count menus, loading screens, etc... just actual time counted down in gameplay events. I had gotten all the "play the event 30 times" achievements before this so I can average out the time I spent and break it down like this:

    • Races: 30 @ 2.5 min each = 75 minutes
    • Stunt: 30 @ 1.5 min each = 45 minutes
    • Dash: 30 @ 1 min each = 30 minutes
    • Smash: 30 @ 1 min each = 30 minutes
    • Trick: 30 @ 1 min each = 30 minutes

    That makes a total is 210 minutes or 3.5 hours of "game play". That means you need at least 36 more regular races to hit the 5 hour mark. Or you can keep replaying whatever event you need to mop up achievements in. Once you reach the 5 hour mark the achievement unlocks. This takes significantly longer than 5 actual hours due to the horrible menu setup and constant loading screens.

    See "Super Marathon" for the fastest way to finish the 5 and 10 hour requirements. I would not recommend using that method though until you have completed everything else you want to do. If you do everything else first, you will minimize the amount of time you need to let the game run.
