Mixtape 100% guide

Ollie over a car during the downhill skate. Press A to ollie as a car approaches, and clear the car completely. Going around it or clipping it doesn't count. Short white or red cars in the left lane are the easiest to clear. A crash rewinds you a few seconds, so you get extra attempts on the same stretch. If you reach the bottom of the hill without it, you can also do this in Chapter 11 or Chapter 19, or replay Chapter 1.

Required: interact with every item in each bedroom and exhaust every unique conversation with Cassandra and Slater. If nothing was missed, the achievement unlocks at or just after the VHS tape on Slater's bed in Chapter 25. On a Chapter Select replay, it normally unlocks when the last missing interaction registers, which can happen earlier.

How to work every room visit:

• Interactable items show a solid white dot until you use them. After use, the dot becomes hollow, which you can see up close. Clear every solid dot before moving on.
• One yellow item per visit advances the story. Touch it last.
• Talk to Cassandra and Slater repeatedly until each one runs out of new lines or suggests leaving. Let each line finish before your next interaction. If a friend's icon turns solid again after a memory, talk to them again.
• Some objects, especially the closed hallway doors, need several interactions before they register. Repeat any interaction whose marker stays solid until it turns hollow.
• Check hallways and doorways, not just the room. Closed doors are interactable.
• Each time you come back to a room after a memory, recheck the whole space. New items appear, and friends have new lines.

These get missed most often:

• the curtains above Cassandra's window (look up)
• the conversations with Slater and Cassandra after the contract scene at Cassandra's house
• the framed picture sitting on the boxes in Debbie's room after the photobooth
• Debbie's closed door in Rockford's hallway
• the artwork on the wall behind Slater's desk
• the hallway door and portrait at Cassandra's house
• the keyboard pencil case in Rockford's room

Hold the kiss for at least 60 seconds. A "That's enough" prompt appears along the way. Don't take it until a full minute has passed. The achievement unlocks when you end the kiss after the 60-second mark, so count it yourself and go a few seconds over to be safe.

Back in Rockford's room, talk to both friends and check the pictures on the closet door. The VCR on top of the TV starts Chapter 4, so use it last.

Escape in the shopping cart without crashing once. Steer with the left stick and use the bumpers to straighten out. You can plow through cardboard boxes without penalty. When the camera pulls out on the highway, keep steering, because you still have control. A single crash ruins the attempt, so restart Chapter 5 and try again rather than finishing the run. The achievement unlocks at the pier cutscene.

Back in the room, talk to both friends. If the inside of the closet still shows a solid dot, use it. The box on the computer chair starts Chapter 6, so use it last.

Make the slushie with Blue Crush, Bubblegum, Lime and Orange. Roughly equal parts of each work. The achievement unlocks when the cup is filled. If you get the mix wrong, finish the chapter and replay Chapter 8.

Back in Debbie's room, talk to both friends. Then open the dresser drawer. The ticket is buried under the clutter, so move the items around, including the black notebook in the top-right corner, until you can pick it up. Taking the ticket starts Chapter 9.

Story. This unlocks automatically at the end of Rockford's part. Nothing can be missed for it.

Knock over 10 traffic cones during this skate. The route has exactly 10, so you need every one. The achievement pops on the 10th cone. The cones appear in this order:

1. Cones 1-3: to the right of the yellow dump truck, near the center line of the road.
2. Cone 4: just past the intersection, with the school bus ahead.
3. Cones 5-6: in the center of the path after you pass under the semi trailer.
4. Cone 7: in the first construction section, before you leave the ledge.
5. Cones 8-9: on the right side during the overhead camera section. These are the easiest to miss.
6. Cone 10: on the left once the camera swings back behind you, just past the cars.

Use the rewind trick for any cone you miss. If you skate past a cone, crash on purpose by steering hard into a wall, an obstacle, or the car on the left during the overhead section. The game rewinds you a few seconds, often to before the cone. Crash again to go further back if needed. If you run out of road short of 10, finish the chapter and replay it.

If you still need Thrashed, ollie over a car here.

Throw a stone through the tyre swing on the right. Aim at the upper-middle part of the opening. You can keep throwing as long as you like, but once the dialogue ends you need to exit the minigame to continue.

Hit only home runs as Cassandra. Rockford's swings don't matter. The first pitch comes down the middle. For the rest, push the left stick toward the target and swing as the ring closes. A single non-home-run means you need to restart.

Back at Cassandra's, use the bed and talk to both friends. The slip of paper on the bathroom wall starts Chapter 15, so use it last.

Throw 50 rolls at the house. A "That's enough" prompt appears before you reach 50. Ignore it and keep throwing until the achievement pops. There's enough time in the sequence if you don't stop.

Back at Cassandra's, use the spot on the wall next to the trophy cabinet and talk to both friends. The photos on the small table beside the bathroom door start Chapter 16, so use them last.

Steer into 3 pig balloons while floating. The achievement doesn't pop when you hit the third. It unlocks at the end of the sequence, once you float into Rockford's house, so don't assume it failed partway.

The visit to Cassandra's room after this memory is the most error-prone in the game, so take it slowly:

1. Open the trophy cabinet door again.
2. Look up and use the curtains above the window.
3. Step into the bathroom and use the light switch. It's listed as an interaction at this point, but it isn't confirmed to count toward the achievement. Use it anyway, because it costs nothing.
4. Talk to Slater and Cassandra. Cassandra's icon may only appear after you step into the bathroom.
5. Use the contract on the bed. This plays a scene, and afterward the friends switch places.
6. Talk to Slater until he suggests leaving, then talk to Cassandra twice.
7. If the cabinet or curtains now show a solid dot, use them again.
8. Use the open window last to start Chapter 17.

Assemble the Minimaster in under 15 seconds. The assembly begins once you've finished Cassandra's conversations and spoken to Slater. Move fast:

1. Pick up the Minimaster and rotate it with the right stick.
2. Open the battery cover.
3. Drop both batteries in.
4. Close the cover.
5. Flip it back over and press the power button.

If you're too slow, replay Chapter 17 from Chapter Select and try again.

Take 20 photos in the dinosaur park with the repaired Minimaster. It unlocks on the 20th photo. Take plenty at every stop rather than saving them for the end. The last photo area is the room after the volcano.

Story. This unlocks automatically at the end of Chapter 18, closing out Cassandra's part.

Explode every object on the way to the secret hideout. Objects get a red outline as you approach them. Mash LT and RT continuously for the whole ride so nothing slips past. The achievement unlocks at the gumball machine in the mall. This is also your last skate if you still need Thrashed.

Paint the entire door in under 30 seconds. Switch to the large roller. Hold RT, start at the top edge and roll straight down, then shift over and repeat in vertical strips that overlap slightly. You don't need full coverage. The achievement can pop mid-paint once most of the door is covered fast enough. If it doesn't pop, the usual cause is thin coverage along the top, bottom or side edges. Replay Chapter 21 and run the roller along the full perimeter as well as the vertical strips. UNVERIFIED: it has also been reported failing to unlock despite full, fast coverage.

Back at the hideout, talk to Slater until he runs out of new lines and use any new white dots. Then use the couch to start Chapter 22.

Get the couch in place within 30 seconds. Push both sticks right and take a straight line through the middle of the obstacles rather than going over them. Drop the couch as soon as the target turns green. The achievement unlocks on the drop.

Back at the hideout, talk to Slater until he runs out of new lines and use any new white dots. Then use the pile of stones in front of Slater (the fire pit) to start Chapter 23.

Clear the leaves in under 45 seconds. Hold RT to charge the broom, then release it for a large sweep to clear big chunks first. Finish with quick sweeps around the perimeter until the circle turns green.

Back at the hideout, talk to Slater until he runs out of new lines and use any new white dots. Then use the slingshot on the car to start Chapter 24.

Hit all the cans in under 30 seconds. Bottles count as targets too, not just cans. Sweep in one direction across the line instead of jumping around. A miss doesn't end the attempt, but the timer does.

Knock over all five character cutouts:

• two at the ends of the aisles on the left
• two along the back wall
• one at the end of the aisle near the clerk

Each one has to fall fully to the floor. Walk the whole store and knock them all down before you hand your tapes in at the counter.

Knock 200 VHS tapes off the shelves. Brush along the shelves as you move. There's no time limit, so run every aisle until it pops.

Story. This unlocks automatically at the end of Chapter 26, closing out Slater's part.

Don't miss a single jump or slide while rescuing Cassandra. Press A to jump and RT to slide. Every obstacle needs the correct input:

• The tall wooden fence after the jungle gym must be jumped, not smashed or slid through.
• Jump the yellow car. Don't slide across it.
• During the porch moment, let Rockford handle it. Don't jump yourself.
• A scripted mantle over one fence is fine and doesn't count against you.
• Jump the party table. Don't run into it or slide past it.
• On the buses, jump every gap between roofs. Don't drop through or stumble across.
• The rooftop section has several obstacles in quick succession. Time each jump and slide individually instead of holding a rhythm.
• At the very end, after the conveyor belt, slide under the shutter door. Start the slide early, around the oil stain, as soon as both feet land. A late slide is a common failure.

The run doesn't stop when you fail an obstacle. Smashing through, stumbling or scrambling over still lets you continue, so an attempt can look fine and already be invalid. If any obstacle didn't play a clean jump or slide, the attempt is over. The achievement unlocks as the cutscene begins after the run. Finish the chapter and replay it.

Don't miss any fireworks during the drive. Fireworks have to be triggered as they come into range, so mash continuously from the start of the sequence to the end without pausing. Mash LT and RT together with X, especially through the final airborne stretch. The bumpers and other face buttons are also reported to set off fireworks, and X is the one to lean on if the triggers seem to miss.

Update 1.1 made this unlock more reliably, but no single input is guaranteed. If it doesn't pop, replay Chapter 28. Mashing a single face button has worked for some players. Another option is the Xbox app / Microsoft Store PC version, which is Xbox Play Anywhere and shares this achievement list. There you can mash one keyboard key. The Steam and Epic versions don't count.

Acquire all the items at the party. Walk the whole party and accept every drink and plate of food anyone offers you. High-fives don't count, and the white camcorder boxes are story markers, not items. There's no counter. Guides commonly put the total at around 13 items, but go by the prompts rather than the number: visit all eight pickup spots below, and exhaust the repeatable plate and bathtub. Finish drinking or eating each item before moving to the next, and keep accepting from a person or spot until the prompt disappears.

Work through the party in this order:

1. The man in sunglasses near the start: one beer.
2. The girl just past him on the left: one beer.
3. The man in a blue shirt near Rockford and the radio: one piece of food.
4. The plate behind him: keep taking food until the prompt is gone.
5. The girl in black on the right as you face the house: one beer.
6. The bathtub near the house: keep taking drinks until the prompt is gone.
7. The girl on the deck, left of the door by the window: one beer.
8. Turn away from the house toward the yellow pickup and take a beer from the girl standing to the left of Kyle.

One guide lists a purple-haired woman in a goth group to the left of the stairs instead of the girl in black. It may be the same person, so before filming the remaining story markers, walk down the stairs and accept anything she offers too. You can backtrack freely. The achievement pops on whichever item you collect last, so if it hasn't popped, sweep every group and the corners of the yard again and recheck the plate and bathtub.

Story. This unlocks when you finish the game, after the credits.
