  • How to unlock Super Marathon

    To get the extra 5 hours to go from "Marathon" to "Super Marathon" you need 300 more minutes of "game" time. That equals close to 120 more races if you just keep re-running the first race event over and over. Those 5 hours of "game" time will easily cost you over 10 hours of real time when you factor in load times, eating, rest and bathroom breaks, etc.. To avoid extreme boredom and stiff legs I used this method instead:

    You need something that the Kinect will mistake for you so grab a big chair, a stack of pillows or a life-sized cardboard cut-cut. I opted for a cut-out since we have one in the house. I placed it in front of the sensor and then stood behind it and signed in as myself. I then selected Pro Race and the first event. You then need to reach both hands out past your object of choice to "grab the wheel" and start the race. Now just put your arms back down and back away being careful to stay out of the sensors range.

    Your car and surrogate driver should now be in place and not moving at all. Just leave the room for 5 hours with your Xbox running and come back once you are past or close to 300 minutes of total time. Go ahead and reach your arms back around and finish the race. If done correctly, you will have gained all the "game" time you need and your achievement will unlock.

  • The hardest part is hoping the game doesn't just auto-drive you through the whole race! I backed away and hid in the corner before the race started and just watched the game play itself and my car ended up getting in 5th just from the auto-pilot.
  • I don't think this works as suggested. If the first seven AI racers finish, it will gives you 8th even if you don't finish and the race ends. A good suggestion is taking turns. The only bad thing about this is reinitializing your face so it recognizes whoever is playing as your gamertag.
  • forgot to come back in here and say, it works. I put a chair in front of my tv, through a heavy winter coat on it. Put some pillows on and printed a full page copy of a face off the internet. stuck my hands around it to get the race started. the race started and he slowly pulled up then stopped. Walked away and came back hours later. Did this in two sittings. Works like gangbusters.
