Rare Replay 100% guide

This guide covers the shared Rare Replay achievement list on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S: 200 achievements for 4,000 Gamerscore. The nine Xbox 360 and Xbox Live Arcade games launched through the collection keep their own separate achievement lists. Their achievements are not part of this 4,000G list, but their Gamerscore is read by Rare Replay to award 90 of the 330 required stamps.

As of October 2026:

• CURRENTLY CONFIRMED UNOBTAINABLE: none on the Rare Replay list.
• CURRENTLY CONFIRMED DISCONTINUED: none on the Rare Replay list.
• CURRENTLY COMMUNITY-FLAGGED / BUGGY: delayed achievement, stamp, and snapshot synchronization is still reported on current Xbox hardware. Blast Corps progress and the final 330-stamp unlock deserve particular care.
• True missables: none collection-wide. Every required game, snapshot, playlist, and Rare Revealed item can be replayed.
• Practical playthroughs: one collection completion, but several individual games require multiple characters, runs, challenge sets, or replayed stages.
• Difficulty requirements: Killer Instinct Gold requires Arcade on Easy or above. Several external Xbox 360 stacks are difficult or grind-heavy even though Rare Replay only needs 75% of their base Gamerscore.
• Online/co-op: no human online partner is required for the Rare Replay 4,000G route described here. Keep the console online when refreshing Xbox 360 Gamerscore into Rare Replay. A second local controller is required for the Sky location in Killer Instinct Gold (Versus only; it does not help the Arcade-only Supreme Victory count). The selected Perfect Dark route needs a second controller signed into a second Xbox profile (a Guest may require an online subscription on the main account), and Battletoads Arcade's toad-join shortcut also needs a second signed-in profile. Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise's Couch Socialite achievements and Kameo's co-op stages need a second controller; if it won't join, sign it into a second profile. A second controller is useful for Perfect Dark Zero.
• Scope of the Xbox 360 games: the nine Xbox 360 and Xbox Live Arcade titles are covered only as far as Rare Replay's stamps need (150G of 200G, or 750G of 1,000G). This guide does not take any of them to their own 100%; each has its own full CompletionLab guide, linked from its section below.
• New Game+: not required.
• DLC: Rare Replay itself has no DLC achievement set. For Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts, certify the stamp route with at least 750G from the base 1,000G list. Its separate Xbox 360 list can show additional DLC Gamerscore, but this route does not rely on unresolved DLC-scanner behavior.
• Route warnings: before Digger T. Rock’s last cavern, carry the safe supply buffer described below; keep Grabbed by the Ghoulies campaign and Challenges 1-20 on one save; meet Gregg on a normal Conker save before relying on chapter select; in Banjo-Kazooie, don't play Bottles' Bonus (the jigsaw minigame) until all 900 Notes are collected, because it has been known to delete 12 Notes permanently.

There is no collection-wide point of no return. The route below handles the few individual-game states that are safer to finish before advancing.

The efficient dependency order is: finish the 21 games tracked natively by Rare Replay, raise the nine external Xbox 360/XBLA games only to their final stamp thresholds, then clear the six Snapshot Playlists and Rare Revealed cleanup.

Do not rely on Quick Resume for a completion this long. Fully quit Rare Replay after major grinding sessions, after completing all stamps for a game, and before assuming a milestone failed. When an in-game stamp appears but the Xbox achievement does not, return to the Rare Replay hub, wait for synchronization, fully quit, relaunch, and check again before repeating hours of work.

Quick Resume can hold a separate Rare Replay state that makes milestones read 0% or stops Xbox 360 stamps from populating. If that happens, remove Rare Replay from the Quick Resume list (Guide → My games & apps → Quick Resume), relaunch Rare Replay fresh while online, and open the affected game's Gallery entry to force a refresh. A "some Xbox 360 titles aren't installed" message means the 360 title must be installed and licensed on the console before its stamps can be read.

Precaution: keep cloud saves enabled, finish all nine external games before starting the Playlists, avoid hopping between a 360 title and Rare Replay during the Playlist phase, and never delete saves as recovery. An old, unconfirmed report described stamps resetting after returning from an Xbox 360 game, and Playlist stamps may not be re-earnable.

Rare Replay cheats and rewind are achievement-safe in the early internally emulated games where the collection exposes them, but snapshots and playlists disable those assists. Conker’s own cheat menu also remains achievement-safe for the route below.

Preventative precaution: after every game reaches its expected stamp total, confirm both the in-game stamp count and Xbox achievement progress before starting the next major grind. This is especially important in Blast Corps and before the final 330th stamp.

Turn on Infinite Lives. Build and fuel rockets normally, then keep blasting off through the repeating ship cycle. Use one productive save to grind fuel pods, enemies, and score before leaving the game for good.

Use Infinite Lives and rewind. Prioritize reaching Level 10 while spending time in the Hyperglide Moon Rover and killing enemies so the long cumulative requirements advance during normal play.

Use Infinite Lives. You need three successful escapes, one with each character, so use those runs to touch every holdable item you encounter and repeatedly open keyed doors rather than leaving both cumulative milestones for cleanup.

Turn on Infinite Lives. Explore broadly rather than beelining the exit: the four amulet pieces can vary in placement, while the five Jungle Huts are fixed and the orchid colors appear throughout the jungle.

Use two saves. On the first, enable Infinite Lives and No Enemies to locate the three Guardian weapons, kill the three Guardians, and escape. On the second, descend to the bottom of the map, then turn enemies back on for the 1,000-kill grind.

For the completion run, turn on Infinite Lives and Infinite Time. Find the central cauldron, visit all four map corners while collecting ingredients, and satisfy every cauldron request. Then use a separate run with Infinite Time disabled for the 40-day survival milestone.

Use Infinite Lives and rewind. Keep the horse whenever practical while hunting outlaws, and use normal shooting to build the bullet count. The opening money-bag shooting gallery is the cleanest place to finish the bag total.

Rewind is your main safety net. Each mountain's first eight courses are required, 24 in total, and the Qualifying Run is course 1 of those eight (Snowy Hill's qualifier needs under 1:25). Courses 9 and later are harder repeats and aren't needed. Make a manual save after every successful run: missing a run's time forces a restart of the whole course. After finishing one mountain the game can auto-continue into the next, so exit and start each mountain fresh. Freestyle points and fast-time points are farmed together by saving just before the Snowy Hill Qualifying finish line and reloading.

Use rewind and save before difficult finishes. Advance through all tracks while collecting performance upgrades and first-place finishes. Once you have a reliable winning race, reuse it for cumulative wins, laps, or upgrades if needed.

Use Infinite Lives and rewind. Complete the full 25-level sequence, collect Power-Up Pods whenever they appear, and perform a spin after challenge finishes whenever the course gives you room. Those habits reduce the late cumulative cleanup.

Use Infinite Time, Infinite Lives, and rewind for the full game. Finish every level first, then exploit early-food dispensers and a high-value late save for the cumulative food, tail, and score requirements.

The password system provides a large legitimate shortcut. Use the established Rare Replay-compatible passwords only after starting the game once. For the 50 towed objects, the first planet gives a safe repeatable delivery setup.

Enable Infinite Lives, Infinite Time, and rewind. There are eight caverns. Save at the start of each one, especially Cavern 5. Before entering the final cavern, carry at least five explosives and one gem as cheap insurance against conflicting old route reports; the extra explosive is a safety margin, not an achievement requirement.

Use Infinite Lives and rewind. Complete a full no-warp run through every stage, feed on flies whenever the opportunity appears, and attack aggressively so kills and score accumulate naturally.

Do not use warps: they skip stages, and every skipped stage still needs clearing for The Dark Queen’s Lament. If you warp by accident, rewind immediately. In Clinger-Winger, the chasing ball does not rewind cleanly, so rewind to a straight section rather than a corner.

Enable Infinite Continues and rewind. Finish the full event sequence, collect money and letters, and purchase upgrades whenever possible. Save before easy wins so cumulative first places and purchases can be finished without replaying the whole championship.

Turn on rewind and use the arcade’s unlimited continues. Play the full game once with any toad while working on standard kills and Smash Hit finishers. Make a save immediately before the final boss dies. With a second controller signed into a second Xbox profile, reload that save and join as each remaining toad before the finish to avoid two extra full runs.

Have two local controllers available before beginning; the Sky location cannot be credited with a normal one-controller route. Let the title screen reach the character bios and enter Back, X, A, right-stick left, A, Back to expose the useful extra options. Set Game Speed to Slow, Difficulty to Easy, Cheap Juggles on, and Blocking off. These in-game options do not invalidate Rare Replay achievements.

Treat Blast Corps as a staged cleanup rather than trying to perfect every level immediately. First clear every carrier stage quickly, then revisit cleared stages in free mode for buildings, RDUs, communication points, survivors, vehicles, and scientists.

When doing free-mode cleanup, leave the stage through the yellow finishing truck after completing the work you want to keep. Leaving without using the yellow truck can discard newly completed stage progress.

Collect every communication point before the late medal phase. A carrier stage outlined in green still has an uncollected communication point, and missing communication points can leave bonus missions undiscovered.

Secure the fast black van/A-Team-style van during ordinary stage cleanup before opening the late Time Attack/Platinum phase. It remains obtainable later, but reaching it becomes unnecessarily difficult once the timed state is active.

Gold every bonus stage and time trial before attempting a Platinum.

CURRENTLY COMMUNITY-FLAGGED / BUGGY: Blast Corps milestone tracking has repeated reports of delayed synchronization on current Xbox hardware. After each major 100% cleanup batch, return to Rare Replay, fully quit, relaunch, and verify the milestone tracker before continuing.

Use the modern control option if preferred. The first campaign pass should prioritize forward progression while saving Tribals when convenient, trying every new weapon, collecting Ant Heads, and activating totems. The game later opens character-specific revisits, so do not force inaccessible collectibles early.

Conker has one major shortcut: its own cheat menu is achievement-safe. First start a normal save and meet Gregg. Only after that should you use the chapter-unlock cheat for the fast chapter-completion route.

Create one primary game save and keep it for the campaign plus Challenges 1-20. Collect Bonus Books as you pass them, sample every Soupswill Super Soup, break scenery aggressively, and let normal combat build the Ghouly and shock counters.

Bonus Challenges unlock one per 5 Bonus Books, so all 100 books unlock all of Challenges 1-20. Challenges can be played as they unlock. Challenge 21 requires all 100 books and Gold or better on Challenges 1-20.

These nine titles launch as backward-compatible Xbox 360 games and keep separate achievement lists. Rare Replay awards ten stamps per external game from the Gamerscore already earned on your Xbox profile. The four 200G titles stop at a final 150G Rare Replay threshold: Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie, Perfect Dark, and Jetpac Refuelled. The five 1,000G-base titles stop at 750G: Kameo, Perfect Dark Zero, Viva Piñata, Viva Piñata: Trouble in Paradise, and Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts. GoldenEye 007 is a separate later release and contributes zero Rare Replay stamps.

The internal 210-stamp contribution is not 210 ordinary milestones: it consists of 80 game milestones plus 80 standalone Snapshots across the sixteen pre-N64 games, plus 50 game milestones across the four N64 games and Grabbed by the Ghoulies. Add the 90 external stamps and 30 Playlist stamps for the full 330.

You do not need to 100% any external list. Launch each Xbox 360 title from inside Rare Replay, and make sure it is installed and licensed. After each title reaches its target, keep the console online, return to Rare Replay, open that game's Gallery entry, and verify all ten stamps. If stamps still read 0%, remove Rare Replay from Quick Resume and relaunch it fresh as described under Tracking hygiene. If they do not populate, launch the external Xbox 360 title from Rare Replay, allow its profile/menu state to initialize, return to Rare Replay, and check again. Launching the 360 title is a synchronization fallback, not a universal prerequisite. The visible 10/10 Rare Replay stamps are the final certification for each external game.

Target 160G, giving a 10G cushion over Rare Replay's 150G threshold. Earn Get Jiggy, Mumbo Jumbo, Knock out Nipper, Free Clanker, Chomp Chomp!, Move Master, Show me the honey!, Cheating Cheato, Music Maestro, and The Quiz Master.

Progress through all nine worlds, collect 900 Notes, all 24 Extra Honeycomb Pieces, learn the required Bottles world moves, find all three Cheato books, then complete Furnace Fun for The Quiz Master. Stop there. Skip Jinjonatored, Jigsaw Maker, and the extra Jiggy/final-Gruntilda work. No multiplayer is required.

Notes (Music Maestro). There are exactly 100 Notes in each of the nine worlds and none in Spiral Mountain or the Lair. In this version notes stay collected through death and exits, so partial visits are safe. Check Pause → View Totals after each world: it shows every world's note count, which tells you which world is short (Click Clock Wood's four seasons share one count). Clusters per world, in a practical order:

• Mumbo's Mountain: bridge by the start pad 7; two underwater side alcoves 6; path up by the Conga area 9; hut roofs in Mumbo's village 6; inside the first hut you smash 5; inside Mumbo's skull 4; path to the stone ruins 4; on top of the ruins 14; Talon Trot ledges by the yellow Jinjo 21; ledges facing the entrance pad 18; inside Ticker's tower as the termite 6.
• Treasure Trove Cove: starting platform 4; inside Nipper's shell after beating him 6; two treetops by the ship 8; the ship's two flooded cabins 8; rigging and crow's nest 11; lighthouse stair alcove 1, spiral path 3 and top 5; Shock Spring crate stack by Bottles 3; the cliff where the "?" appears 6; inside the two Lockup chests 5; the path beside them 4; right of Bottles' crates 3; sandcastle top 5 and inside 4 (often missed); raised walkways and the rock pool behind the Lockup 12; the ladder steps down from the high platform 12.

• Freezeezy Peak: slope by the start 9; behind the Christmas tree 5; inside the tree 12; the pile of presents 4; around the Sir Slush by the presents 4; outside Wozza's cave 4; sled-race start behind Boggy 4; village house roofs 6; the snowman's scarf and neck 19; his hat (fly from the nose pad) 8; his feet 10; rafters in Mumbo's skull 6; water ring round the Sir Slush island 9.
• Gobi's Valley: hill into the valley 5; Jinxy's paws 6; quicksand by Jinxy's tail (Wading Boots) 8; inside Jinxy 7; narrow path left of the tomb 9; stairs by that path 4; on and inside the puzzle pyramid 4 + 4; left of it 2; the Turbo Trainers hill 2; up and inside the time-trial pyramid 4 + 4; quicksand where Grabba was 11; tomb stairs 4; inside the tomb 7; the moat round it 6; inside Rubee's pyramid 8; the alcove behind Jinxy (fly) 5.
• Mad Monster Mansion: in front of the entrance pad 4; Napper's room 8; first-floor roof 4 and room 4; second-floor roof 4 and room 9; green pond 4; bottom of the well 7 and platforms over it 4; Tumblar's shed roof 4 and inside 4; by the graveyard gate 3; cellar shelf 4; church porch roof 1, roof 9 and clock tower 4; hedge maze 6; organ pedals 2 and pipes 4; church benches 4; Mumbo's skull 2; the chimney as the pumpkin 5.
• Rusty Bucket Bay: walkway to the ship 5; far back of the ship 6; right rear vent 4; engine room 12; slanting path by the front smokestack 4 and the ledge above it 2; between the smokestacks 8; starboard porthole room 3; kitchen 5; porthole room by the Grimlet 4; rooftop across the second toll bridge 4; the narrow path over the Snacker area 5; toxic-pond barrels 3; first crane 3; the blue containers 12; second crane 3; anchor-hole corridor 4; skylight room 4; captain's cabin 4; the vent room where you boarded 5.
• Click Clock Wood: outside the Spring door 4; Spring 16 (the four ground bridges and around the giant flower); Summer 16 (leaves at the start 2, Gnawty's doorway 2, by the beehive 3, in front of the treehouse 4, the walkway to Nabnut's house 5); Autumn 48 (lap round the tree base 16, inside the beehive 4, Nabnut's shelf 3, platforms before Eyrie's nest 3, round the nest 8, Mumbo's rafters 4, the Snarebear by the flower 3, behind the giant flower 5, Gnawty's shelf 2); Winter 16 (branches behind the Sir Slush 4, treehouse roof 4, branches above the fly pad by Mumbo's hut 4, platforms past the nest 4).

If a world is stuck at 96, the commonly missed four are the Autumn beehive and Winter branch sets in Click Clock Wood and the second-floor bedroom in Mad Monster Mansion. You need 765 notes to open the note door to Furnace Fun.

Extra Honeycombs and Cheato. All 24 Extra Honeycomb pieces (6 in Spiral Mountain, 2 in each world) and the 3 Cheato spellbook locations (all in Gruntilda's Lair; you don't need to type the cheats) are in the Banjo-Kazooie checklists in the Collectibles section. View Totals also shows your honeycomb count.

Bottles' moves (Move Master). Accept the Spiral Mountain lessons, then find Bottles' molehills: Beak Barge by the Lair entrance; Beak Buster, Egg Firing and Talon Trot in Mumbo's Mountain; Shock Spring and Flight in Treasure Trove Cove; Wonderwing in Clanker's Cavern; Wading Boots in Bubblegloop Swamp; Beak Bomb in Freezeezy Peak; Turbo Trainers in Gobi's Valley, the last lesson, which unlocks Move Master. He doesn't appear in the last three worlds.

DO NOT play Bottles' Bonus (the jigsaw minigame in Banjo's house) until Music Maestro has unlocked. On some saves, playing it before collecting the affected notes has permanently removed 12 Notes (4 each in Mad Monster Mansion, Rusty Bucket Bay and Click Clock Wood), making 900 impossible. A title update reportedly fixed it for new saves but not affected ones, and whether it can still happen in this version isn't confirmed, so just leave it alone. If a world is stuck at 96 after this, the only reported recovery is a new save. Also collect each world's Jinjo Jiggy before exiting the world, because exiting first can make that Jiggy disappear.

Return to Rare Replay and do not move on until Banjo-Kazooie shows 10/10 stamps.

Target 150G exactly by earning every achievement except Special Agent (15G), Prime Target (10G), Perfect Agent (20G), and Crowning Glory (5G). The selected route needs a second controller signed into a second Xbox profile for the efficient Co-operative and Counter-Operative achievements, but no Xbox Live partner. A Guest profile may error unless the main account has an online subscription.

The 16 achievements, 150G:

• How's That For Starters? (10G): complete Mission 1.1 on any difficulty.
• Agent (10G): complete every solo mission on Agent.
• Double 64 (10G): 128 kills with secondary fire, cumulative across all weapons. The CMP150's lock-on secondary is the easy one.
• Camera Shy (10G): destroy 5 different security cameras, spread across any missions. Mission 1.1 has several.
• Both Barrels (5G): kill an enemy while dual-wielding. The masked guard on Mission 1.1's third office floor carries dual Falcons; take them.
• Act Your Age, Joanna (5G): smash every bottle in the Carrington Villa basement as you pass; going too far ends the level.
• Paci-Fist (10G): complete a mission with fists only on Special Agent or harder (see the Duel below).
• dataDyne Specialist / Carrington Institute Specialist / Maian Specialist (10G each): get kills with that faction's weapons. dataDyne: CMP150, DY357, DY357-LX, Shotgun, K7 Avenger, Dragon, SuperDragon, Rocket Launcher, Devastator. Carrington Institute: all three Falcon 2 variants, Laptop Gun, AR34, RC-P120, Laser. Maian: Phoenix, Callisto NTG, Farsight. Make a direct burst-fire Laptop Gun kill; sentry kills don't count. Farsight XR-20 requires a Deep Sea replay on Special Agent or higher. Sources disagree on exactly which weapons each family checks, so the safe plan is a kill with every Firing Range weapon.
• Tools Of The Trade, Deadly Laptop, Versatile, Golden Days, A Friend Indeed and ...Who Needs Enemies? (10G each): below.

Before final Firing Range cleanup, confirm that all 32 weapon entries are present. The range only lists weapons you've unlocked, so count them: Falcon 2, Falcon 2 (silencer), Falcon 2 (scope), MagSec 4, Mauler, Phoenix, DY357 Magnum, DY357-LX, CMP150, Cyclone, Callisto NTG, RC-P120, Laptop Gun, Dragon, K7 Avenger, AR34, SuperDragon, Shotgun, Reaper, Sniper Rifle, Farsight XR-20, Devastator, Rocket Launcher, Slayer, Combat Knife, Crossbow, Tranquilizer, Laser, Grenade, Timed Mine, Proximity Mine and Remote Mine. The ones you have to go out of your way for: the DY357-LX (disarm Trent Easton in Crash Site, don't kill him), the Slayer (Attack Ship or Skedar Ruins), the Phoenix (Skedar Ruins), the Callisto NTG (Skedar Ruins start, or disarm a Maian on Attack Ship), the RC-P120 (Carrington Institute Defense) and the Farsight (Deep Sea on Special Agent or higher). A count of 31 is usually the missing DY357-LX. Earn Bronze or better with all 32 for Tools Of The Trade. If it fails, verify the full 32-entry roster and Bronze results first, and leave the console on for a few minutes after training so the data syncs. The reported last resort is a new save: replay Agent to unlock all 32 weapons, then earn the Bronzes in list order. Then use the unlocked Duel on Special Agent and win with fists only for Paci-Fist.

In Combat Simulator, earn Deadly Laptop with 50 Laptop Gun sentry kills, clear all six Versatile scenarios, and earn Golden Days on Felicity, Complex, or Temple with a Classic weapon set; Golden Days can overlap a Versatile match. Use the second controller and second signed-in profile for A Friend Indeed (Co-operative) and ...Who Needs Enemies? (Counter-Operative). Each needs one complete mission, all of its stages, on any difficulty, so Carrington Villa is the quickest.

At 150G, return to Rare Replay, verify 10/10 stamps, and stop.

Target 150G exactly. Earn Knocked Out Klungo, Treasure Hunt, All Beaten Up, A Merry Old Soul, Hatch the Future, Points Make Prizes, Calamari Bonanza, and Shoot Em Up! Skip It Lives!, After The Storm, My Nemesis, and They think it’s all over....

The route ends naturally in Jolly Roger's Lagoon. Defeat Klungo; collect the basic item types for Treasure Hunt; make 20 qualifying All Beaten Up kills with Mumbo's wand, Banjo's Pants Attack, or Daddy T-Rex; defeat Old King Coal; use Split-Up; score 60 in Balloon Burst for Points Make Prizes; freeze all four Lagoon octopi; and reach 20 qualifying Ulcer/Clinker/Mine kills for Shoot Em Up!.

Once those eight achievements register, stop the campaign, return to Rare Replay, and verify 10/10 stamps.

Target 750G with the recommended portfolio: 600G story + 50G Game Complete + 50G from the five base local co-op stage achievements + 50G Thorn's Castle solo A rank. If you have no second controller, the solo fallback is story 600G + Game Complete 50G + two solo A ranks (100G). Kameo's 24 DLC achievements are 0G and irrelevant.

Story (600G). Freed Halis, Freed Lenya, Freed Yeros and Beaten Thorn (100G each), plus the ten "Found [warrior]" achievements (20G each), all come from mandatory story beats. The warriors arrive in this order: Pummel Weed (Enchanted Kingdom), Rubble (Forgotten Forest Glade, Mushroom Cavern), Ash (Forest Temple, with Halis), Major Ruin (Lobster Hollow, Mountain Falls), Deep Blue (Mountain Rise), Chilla (Water Temple, with Lenya), Flex (Snow Top ice cave), 40 Below (Crystal Grotto), Snare (Snow Temple, with Yeros) and Thermite (Ogre's Swamp, last). The story then runs Thorn's Pass (Lord Drok) → Thorn's Airship (final boss). The Airship's bow is one-way, and there is no second Thorn's Castle visit.

Precaution: make a manual save before the Corallis kill in the Water Temple, then check Freed Lenya and Found Chilla right after the cutscene. The game has a long-standing report of sometimes failing to award those two, with no known fix.

Game Complete (50G). Finish the story and collect all 100 Elemental Fruit, all 12 Elixirs of Life and all 4 Crystal Eyes. Fruit comes from 74 pickups: most give 1 fruit, and 13 large fruit give 3 each. The free fruit you get for freeing Pummel Weed does not count. Skins, rune chests and score are not part of the requirement. The counter tracks fruit found, so spending fruit on upgrades never hurts.

Every pickup is listed in the Kameo checklists in the Collectibles section at the end of this guide, grouped by area with the warrior each one needs. Take the cheap ones as each warrior arrives. Then do one complete sweep after Thermite (end of Ogre's Swamp) and before you enter Thorn's Pass: every collectible is reachable from that point on, and finishing before the one-way endgame is the safe window. Free play after the credits is reported to allow revisits, but it isn't confirmed on this version, so don't rely on it.

How to verify:

• The Wotnot Book's last page shows only global counts (fruit, elixirs, eyes). There is no per-area counter and no detector.
• Expected running totals by area, in sweep order: Enchanted Kingdom 23 fruit / 3 elixirs / 4 eyes; + Forest Glade = 45 / 5; + Mountain Falls = 72 / 8; + Snow Top = 92 / 10; + Badlands huts = 100 / 12.
• The four five-sign quests (Enchanted Kingdom, Forest Glade, Mountain Falls, Snow Top) each give one fruit. After the fifth sign, a fruit plant appears; shake it.
• The Dungeon of Eternal Life cauldrons play the fruit jingle on every hit. If no fruit drops, you already have it.
• Game Complete may not unlock until the final boss is beaten. Check the achievement list after the credits.

Runes: the eight shop fruit (30 each) and four shop elixirs (20 each) cost 320 runes in total. Typhoon's quiz, Chom's game and three of the Warrior Trainer challenges cost 10 per try, and Elemental Evil costs 20. Buy the money-pouch upgrades early.

Co-op (50G). Beaten Old Mawood (Forgotten Forest), Beaten Corallis (Water Temple), Beaten Queen Thyra (Snow Temple), Beaten Lord Drok (Thorn's Pass) and Beaten Thorn (Thorn's Airship), each "(Co-op)", 10G each. Clear each stage solo first, which unlocks it for co-op. Then replay it in local split-screen with a second controller and finish it through the boss. Grade and time don't matter. If player 2 can't join, sign that controller into a second Xbox profile. Thorn's Castle has no base co-op achievement.

Thorn's Castle A rank (50G). Do this after the collectible sweep, with Pummel Weed, Major Ruin and Chilla fully upgraded. They are the only warriors available in the Castle, and it has no Wotnot Book. If you want a Crystal Eye equipped, equip it in the Wotnot in the hub and save, then launch Score Attack from the main menu. The Magic Mirror strips the eye and occasionally fails to save a score.

• Rank is purely score-based. The community-tested floor for A in the Castle is about 15,000,000 points, but the game hides the threshold, so keep going until the result screen explicitly shows A. Read the top "Score Received" number, not the cumulative "Total Overall Score".
• Keep gameplay cheats disabled. Cheat sets such as invulnerability or one-hit kills stop you earning points. Cosmetic cheats are harmless.
• Build multipliers: Carnage for any kill, Brutal for one-hit, environmental or fire kills, and Frenzy for chained kills. Each hit you take removes one of each multiplier, and dying resets them all.
• Enter Warrior Focus with Pummel Weed's rapid LT-RT jab combo once Carnage is 10 or more. Small white Doom Trolls spawn. They are the main source of points and are finite, so kill only Doom Trolls while in Focus and leave a normal troll alive to re-enter Focus.
• Pummel Weed's Weedkiller (creep with LT+RT, hold LT until glowing, release near an enemy), Chilla's ice spikes and Major Ruin's Cyclone are the core tools. Drop chandeliers on armoured trolls with a Chilla spike for big bonuses. Runs of tens of minutes are normal.

Solo fallback second A rank: Water Temple (about 17M) first, Forgotten Forest (about 15M) second. In the Forest, farm the large troll group before entering the ruins area with the three archers behind metal boxes, because you can't go back from there. Never plan on Snow Temple, Thorn's Pass or Thorn's Airship (about 30M each).

At 750G, verify 10/10 Rare Replay stamps and stop.

Target 750G exactly. Skip these nine achievements, worth 250G total: Completed Single Dark Agent; all four Co-Op campaign completions; 1 Co-op Mission On Dark Agent; 5 Co-op Missions On Dark Agent; Played 1000 Deathmatch Games; and Played 1000 DarkOps Games. Earn everything else.

Solo — 90G. An Agent preparation run is recommended for armory access but is not required by the arithmetic. Complete all fourteen missions on Perfect Agent, which stacks Completed Single Agent, Secret Agent, and Perfect Agent for 50G and unlocks Dark Agent. Then complete five qualifying Dark Agent missions for another 40G: Datacore, Laboratory, River, Temple, and Bridge. Mission 13 Arena does not count. Stop campaign work after the fifth qualifying mission.

Deathmatch — 450G. Use local Combat Arena bots and always finish the match so progress is retained. Combine the 10/100/1000 Sniper + Headshot + Team Killcount families with a Jackal on a small map for 180G; a second controller works well as bait. Use regular Killcount with Multi-Mines for the 10/100/1000 Explosive and Killcount families together for 120G; do not switch the main farm to Team Killcount and leave the separate Killcount family unfinished. Farm the 10/100/1000 Melee family with Viblade for 60G. Complete 100 Flags for 30G and 100 Territorial Gains points for 30G. The other farms contribute match completions, so top up only to Played 100 Deathmatch Games for the final 30G; never grind the 1,000-game achievement.

DarkOps — 210G. Use bots for 1,000 Infections (60G). For 1,000 Eradication rounds (60G), use ten-round matches with a strong Dark Agent bot team against one weak Agent bot and stay alive; this naturally produces about 100 completed DarkOps games, covering the 10/100-game achievements for another 30G. In Sabotage, destroy complete opposing property sets until 100,000 CR is reached for 30G. In Onslaught, accumulate 100 defending-side minutes for 30G. Finish every match normally and never grind Played 1000 DarkOps Games.

Arithmetic: 90 + 450 + 210 = 750G. No human online partner is required; a second controller is optional but useful. At 750G, return to Rare Replay, verify 10/10 stamps, and stop.

Exactly 750G is impossible because all 50 achievements are worth 20G. Target 38 achievements / 760G and stop there. Skip Longevity Master, Master Collector, Master Romancer, Master Horticulturist, Master Challenger, Master Talent, Variants Master, Master Evolver, Master Sour Tower, Cocoadile Tears, Mallowolf Howl, and Chewnicorn Healing.

760G leaves only 10G of slack: 37 achievements would be 740G, so every one of the 38 is required. If one turns out to be impossible on your save, the cheapest replacement from the skip list is Master Sour Tower (six Tower of Sour pieces: tame Profitamole, or buy blocks at Costolot's, on top of the four sours below).

None of the 38 needs Xbox Live, trading, cards, co-op or the Vision Camera. Stay signed in and connected while you play anyway, and check the Xbox achievement list after each batch: unlocks earned offline in this title have been reported not to register.

Level gates below are gardener levels. Levels come from awards (first visit, residency, romance, variants, growing each plant species, tool awards), so keep collecting new awards. Use Journal → Player Awards as your tracker: Player Status shows coins, garden value, level and days played, and Plant Awards shows each species' "Grown to Maturity" and "Catalyzed x3" awards.

Phase 1 — levels 1-9

• Piñata Name Caller: highlight any resident, press X, Basic Info, rename it.
• Label Designer: open the menu, use the label editor in the top-right, save any design.
• Collector: make 5 species resident. Whirlm, Sparrowmint (once a Whirlm lives in the garden; resident after eating a Whirlm), Mousemallow or Bunnycomb (plant a turnip or carrot), Mothdrop, and a bought Cluckles all work.
• Green Fingers: grow plants of 5 different species to maturity. Plant awards are per species, so five carrots only count once.
• Horticulturist: give 5 different plant species full bonus growth (three doses of matching-colour fertilizer; a high chime is correct). Confirm each "Catalyzed x3" award in Plant Awards.
• Cluckles Hatches Egg: buy a Cluckles at Paper Pets (opens at level 8). Romance any two piñatas, move the egg off its landing spot, and direct the Cluckles to it. Keep a Cluckles around for later; Pretztails eat them, so fence it.
• Variants: make 5 variants on five different species by feeding colour-change items. Cheap ones: Whirlm + turnip, Whirlm + water lily seed, Cluckles + bluebell seed, Sparrowmint + thistle, Rashberry + poppy seed, Taffly + buttercup seed, Bunnycomb + pumpkin.
• Start building toward Romancer now (below).

Phase 2 — levels 10-14

• Talent: reach level 10.
• Sprinkling (level 10), Gatherling (12), Weedling (14): hire each at Arfur's Inn and place the contract. Helper Name Caller: rename your first helper. Dismiss the Gatherling afterward if it disrupts your garden.
• Land Owner: automatic garden expansion at level 11.
• Generosity: at level 12-13, Ivor the beggar wanders in. Give him 1,000 coins or more in one donation. Less only makes him leave for a few days, so try again when he returns. This opens Ivor Bargain's shop, which you need for Super Shovel, Shovel Strength, Watering Can Do, Joy Candy and the Captain's Cutlass, so do it as soon as he appears. Buy the Chocolate Sniffer shovel head (540) right away.
• Sour Tower and Sherbat Dance: tame Sour Shellybean and Sour Sherbat (the Sherbat needs a Jack-o-lantern from Bart, who opens at level 9). Two tamed sours give the two tower pieces. Keep the tower segments of sours you still need to tame switched off, because an "on" segment scares that sour away. For Sherbat Dance, make a piñata sick (one shovel hit or a poison plant) and don't call Doctor Patchingo. When Dastardos arrives, direct the Sherbat to him. If Patchingo reaches the sick piñata first, Dastardos leaves and you wait for another chance. Expect to lose the sick piñata.
• Harvester: collect produce once. The quickest way is to buy honey, milk or yarn at Costolot's and place it in the garden. If that doesn't register, use the natural route (Buzzlegum with a hive, a Moozipan milking shed, or a Goobaa shearing shed).
• Taffly Fertilizer: have a Taffly eat a fruit, then direct it to a growing plant. Repeat if nothing unlocks.
• Evolver: evolve 2 species. The cheapest are Sparrowmint + buttercup flower → Candary, and a Taffly set alight on a lit torch, then doused with the watering can → Reddhott. Don't use Trouble in Paradise recipes; they differ.
• Challenger: from level 14, complete 5 Piñata Central factory requests. Gretchen Fetchem (opens at level 5) can fetch any species that has been resident before. Declining a request costs nothing.

Phase 3 — levels 14-22

• Watchling: hire at level 16 (dismiss afterward; it scares visitors).
• Crowla Delay: tame Sour Crowla (appears at level 14, visits at 15): put a bird bath in the garden and have it drink a bottle of medicine (honey tinkered by Bart). Then repeat the sick-piñata routine and direct the Crowla to Dastardos. Skip the Dastardos Scarer statue; it only delays him.
• Romancer: earn Master Romancer for 5 species. Each one needs 7 of that species resident at the same time. The fastest way is to fetch 5-6 with Gretchen and romance once more; romance candy lets you re-romance immediately. Easy species: Whirlm, Sparrowmint, Mousemallow, Bunnycomb, Rashberry (bought at level 12, and needed later for Pigxie), Pretztail. Finish all five before level 23.
• Super Shovel: at level 20, buy the Dastardos Head (2,520) from Ivor. With the free Seed, Pond and Treecutter heads and the Chocolate Sniffer, that completes the set. If it doesn't unlock, check that you own the Sniffer.
• Master Land Owner: automatic final expansion at level 21.
• Wealthy: hold 25,000 coins. The best loops are Reddhotts (sell for about 2,100 each; Gretchen keeps fetching Tafflies) and fertilized chili plants in a sparse spare garden (about 400 each). Coins carry across gardens. These loops make money but don't help the plant achievements.
• Garden Value: garden worth 25,000 (Player Status). It arrives naturally with valuable piñatas and decorations.
• Keep planting a new plant species whenever Seedos or Costolot's offers one, for Master Green Fingers.

Phase 4 — levels 23-27

• Macaracoon Gift: Sour Macaraccoon appears at level 23 and visits at 24. To make it resident you need your 5 Master Romancer awards and it must have eaten a Cluckles. Once it's resident, select it, press X and choose Find Romance Sweet (ideally at night). When it comes back, open the success alert and choose view; the achievement can wait for that step. Don't have a Dragonache in this garden yet, because it blocks all sours.
• Watering Can Do: buying the One Pour Wonder from Ivor (listed from level 24; 4,125) is enough on its own.
• Diggerling: hire one at Arfur's Inn at level 26 (2,420). The achievement is for hiring, so you don't need to wait for the Mine.
• Master Green Fingers: grow 25 different plant species to maturity and count them in Plant Awards. The One Pour Wonder makes watering easy. Expect this to finish somewhere around levels 20-30 as species unlock.

Phase 5 — levels 27-30

• Pigxie Prize: cross-romance a Swanana and a Rashberry.
• Swanana appears at level 27. It visits when 20% of the garden is water and the garden is worth 20,000. It becomes resident at 25% water after eating 2 sandwiches (bread tinkered by Bart).
• Make both species resident, then check Willy Builder for the Mystery House (1,980) and buy it when it's listed. Only if it never appears, get Master Romancer for both species.
• Romance-ready Swanana: 30% water, a Swan Fountain, a diamond choker from Paper Pets, 3 water lily flowers eaten, and a Swanana house.
• Romance-ready Rashberry: it has eaten a rotten hazelnut, a rotten chili and a rotten gooseberry (tap fruit with the shovel to rot it), and has a Rashberry house.
• Feed both a Joy Candy from Ivor, then direct one to the other. If it shakes its head, direct the other one instead. The egg hatches a Pigxie.
• Shovel Strength: the Iron, Bronze, Silver and Gold handles come free as you level. At level 30, buy the Platinum Shovel Handle from Ivor (about 1,250).
• Wealth Master: hold 100,000 coins. Do it before any big discretionary spending. Selling a high-value piñata at the right moment can push you over.
• Garden Value Master: garden worth 100,000. After Wealth Master, buy Captain's Cutlass statues from Ivor (level 30, 11,000 each) and place them. Three were enough in a normal garden; a sparse garden may need eight or nine.

Phase 6 — piñata value and time

• Piñata Value: one piñata worth 5,000. Take a species with a base value of at least 3,600 and add Paper Pets accessories and joy. Zumbug (evolve a Horstachio with a blackberry and a daisy), Fourheads and Pigxie all work. Factory-request trips also add value.
• Piñata Value Master: one piñata worth 10,000. Run both routes at once, because either can stall. Check the value in Player Status.
• Accessories route: stack the priciest accessories (such as the Halo of Hardness) on a 3,600-base piñata, keep it overjoyed with Joy Candy, and send it on Piñata Central requests for a valuable or any piñata. Each trip adds value. Between requests, keep it safe by mailing it to yourself and leaving it at the Post Office. If it stalls below 10,000, switch to the Dragonache route or another high-base species.
• Dragonache route: build the Mine (Willy Builder, level 26, 16,500) after Macaracoon Gift and let Diggerlings work it. A Dragonache egg turns up at random, one per garden. A Candary wearing a gas mask improves the odds. Hatch the egg by directing a Cluckles to it. Mature the baby by feeding it a bottle of milk, a snapdragon, a Dragumfly, a Reddhott and a Salamango. A grown Dragonache is worth 11,000 and is reported to unlock the achievement as it matures. It can't wear accessories and it blocks every sour while it's in the garden.
• Longevity: 10 hours of play, which is about Day 50 on the Player Status page. It arrives naturally. If you're short, idle on a screen that blocks pop-ups, such as the Tower of Sour screen.

At 760G, return to Rare Replay, verify 10/10 stamps, and stop.

Target 150G exactly, with no Xbox Live multiplayer needed, with Alpha Launch, Squid Port Pacifist, Power Hungry, Score More, Survival, Retro Cyclist, Robo Rocket, Millionaire Man, and Been through your Milky Way. Skip Half Mill Man (20G), You can stop now! (30G), and Infection (0G).

Start from Level 1. Complete Level 3 without firing lasers or using EMP for Squid Port Pacifist. Reach Level 10 without dying for Survival, and upgrade the laser to full capacity without dying for Power Hungry (a death resets the upgrade ladder). Build the new rocket beginning at Level 13 for Robo Rocket, continue through Level 44 for Been through your Milky Way, and clear all 16 Retro stages. Millionaire Man requires 1,000,000 points in one playthrough before game over, not one life; if it does not arrive naturally, Level 25 is an established farming fallback already on the route toward Level 44.

At 150G, return to Rare Replay, verify 10/10 stamps, and stop.

Target 750G exactly by skipping Card Sharp, Master Card Sharp, Famous Piñata, Full House, all seven Region Challenger achievements, and Master Challenger. Those skips total 250G, so every one of the other 38 achievements is required. Card Sharp and Master Card Sharp need the Xbox Live Vision Camera, which doesn't work through Xbox One/Series backward compatibility. That limitation does not block Rare Replay's ten stamps. Everything below can be done offline.

Trouble in Paradise has its own gardener levels and recipes, so don't reuse original Viva Piñata values. Track progress in Journal → Player Awards (Plant Awards, Piñata Awards, Computer Records, Player Status). The game doesn't show achievements itself, so confirm each one on the Xbox list.

Early work (levels 1-14)

• Choo-Choo: from level 11, buy the Woo Woo Train (Costolot's, Toys, about 275) and place it.
• Gone Clubbing and Long Shot: dig a cluster of seed holes with the shovel, place a sweet, hover the shovel over it and press X to putt. Sink 5 for Gone Clubbing. For Long Shot, sink one from roughly corner to corner: pull the camera out and aim slightly above the horizon.
• Candied Camera: take 10 normal photos with the in-game camera.
• Master Candied Camera: keep photographing until a shot yields concept art (a "Special Photograph"). Not every subject has concept art. The Choclodocus, the Dragonache, a Sarsgorilla and the blimp are good tries. Repeat until it registers.
• Exhibitor / Master Exhibitor: hover any piñata, press X, choose Games, then P-Factor. Pick a judge whose criterion your piñata fits, and win 1 and then 10 shows.
• SpeedFreak / Master Speedfreak: in the same Games menu choose the Great Piñata Paperchase, set laps to 1, and pick a species whose favourite surface matches its lane (a Whirlm or a Cluckles on soil is a reliable pick). Win 1 and then 10. The achievement can wait until you return to the garden, so keep your own count.
• Packet Bulger: your packet needs short grass (start), long grass (Costolot's, around level 11-13), sand and snow. Sand and snow unlock when you trap a Desert and an Arctic piñata, bring the crate home through the Post Office and unpack it into the main garden. The tutorial's Sweetle covers sand. A Pengum (Piñarctic, level 2) covers snow.
• Couch Socialite / Master Couch Socialite: connect a second controller and press Start on it to join One Box Co-op. Then play for 1 hour and 3 hours. It isn't known whether the timer carries across sessions, so plan one continuous session of about 3.5 hours. Wiggle the second stick every few minutes, because an idle player 2 is dropped. If the second controller won't join, sign it into a second Xbox profile. Run long passive work during this window: shows, races, breeding, ripening plants.
• Fancy Dress: a costume is exactly three accessories, with nothing else worn. The cheapest is Conga's Top Hat + Toff Monocle (both level 12) + Secret Agent Bowtie (level 6). Conkerific Helmet + Gas Mask + Combat Boots (level 29) also works.
• Start the Wishing Well unlock early (see Dinokeeper).

Regions and evolutions (levels 15-35)

• Desert Green Fingers: grow every Desert plant to maturity. Grow all five to be safe: Cactus, Orange Tree, Prickly Pear, Yam and Palm Tree. Check the ticks in Plant Awards.
• Arctic Green Fingers: grow Fireweed, Holly Bush, Radish and Snowdrop to maturity. Snowdrop needs snow; Holly grows in snow or dirt.
• Desert Collector / Master Desert Collector: make 3, then all 7, Desert species resident: Camello, Chocstrich, Geckie, Pieena, S'morepion, Sweetle and Vulchurro. Trap them with Langston's TrapEase traps and bait in the Dessert Desert, ship them home through the Post Office, unpack them, and meet their residency needs. Evolved Chocstrich and Pieena count. For S'morepion, tame the sour one and also the normal one, since it's unclear which form the achievement checks.
• Arctic Collector / Master Arctic Collector: make 3, then all 7, Arctic species resident: Flapyak, Jeli (level 31; the heaviest requirements), Lemmoning, Moojoo, Pengum, Polollybear and Robean. Moojoo and Polollybear come from evolutions. The normal Lemmoning only appears after you've tamed a sour one. Each species' requirements are in the Computer Records checklist.
• Yakity Yak: trap a Flapyak in the Piñarctic (level 15, juicy-orange bait) and make it resident. Build a Milking Shed (Willy Builder), fill its candiosity with a Joy sweet, and direct it to the shed.
• Evolutions (six achievements):
• Cluckles → Chocstrich: 2 cactus seeds.
• Rashberry → Hoghurt: a cheesecake.
• Doenut → Moojoo: a fir tree seed.
• Pretztail → Pieena: a bone.
• Fudgehog → Parmadillo: a coconut.
• Fizzlybear → Polollybear: a blue gem.

• Evolving strips accessories and tricks. Keep a spare Cluckles; you'll need one for the egg hatches below.
• Twin Birth / Twin Birth Master and Wildcard Variant / Wildcard Variant Master: with at least 6 of one species in the garden, romance two. Fill only the pink in the romance mini-game, quickly, for a Twin Bonus. Collect every heart before reaching the partner for a Wildcard Bonus. Both can happen on the same hatch. For the 10-set versions, use ten different manageable species, such as Mousemallow, Whirlm, Cluckles, Sparrowmint, Taffly, Bispotti, Buzzlegum, Raisant, Moojoo and Flutterscotch.
• Instructor / Master Instructor: teach a piñata both of its tricks, then do it for 10 piñatas. Feed the trigger items and tap the piñata with the Trick Stick when the trick animation starts. Examples: Flapyak (orange tree seed, orange), Lemmoning (thistle seed, thistle), Jeli (banana, orchid), Choclodocus (ruby, diamond), Chewnicorn (orchid, jam), Pigxie (rotten chili, rotten gooseberry), Dragonache (acorn, Pigxie), White Flutterscotch (snowdrop seed, bluebell seed).
• Come And Have A Go: earn a Gold Combat Medal. Fence a Roario (level 38) with a Barkbark, which are natural rivals. Poke one with the trick stick to start a fight, and heal the loser. Track "Fights Won" on the piñata's Info screen (press Y). Stop when the gold medal icon shows, which usually takes around 17-20 wins. Keep this Roario fenced and alive for Kenya, then turn it blue with a bluebell seed. Variant colour changes keep accessories and medals.

Choo-Choo Master: the Kenya challenges

The Spectral Locomotive appears at Costolot's (Toys) once Langston's five Kenya challenges are done. Langston offers three challenges at a time, and you can cancel or swap them freely, so cycle the offers until the Kenya ones appear. Each piñata must be at maximum candiosity when you send it.

1. A blue Chocstrich that knows one trick: a blueberry muffin turns it blue, and a cactus seed teaches trick 1.
2. A pink Zumbug wearing the Mermaid Necklace and Mermaid's Earrings (Paper Pets, level 16) that knows one trick: a water lily seed turns it pink, and a daisy teaches trick 1.
3. A green Chippopotamus wearing a Grunty Hat (level 29) that knows both tricks: a mushroom turns it green, and the tricks are watercress seed and bullrush seed.
4. A yellow/gold Limeoceros: feed it a cheese wedge.
5. A blue Roario wearing a Gold Combat Medal.

Then buy the Spectral Locomotive and place it. If Choo-Choo Master doesn't unlock, lay track tiles around it. Skip the remaining Region challenge sets; they aren't needed for stamps.

Dinokeeper: the Choclodocus

The amber is one per save and the egg can get stuck, so read this whole list before you start:

1. Unlock the Wishing Well. Start a new garden named exactly Piñata People, with the accented ñ (hold n on the on-screen keyboard). This doesn't create a garden. It adds Credits to the main menu. Start the credits and smash every credit piñata. Leafos then announces the Wishing Well at Costolot's (Decorations). If you can't type the ñ, unblocking all eleven blocked species triggers the same credits.
2. Get three bones. Any three coloured bones work, duplicates included. Red bones are sold at Costolot's from level 45. Blue and green bones come from Diggerlings working a Mine (Willy Builder, level 26, 16,500).
3. Have Bart tinker the bones into skull, ribs and spine, in that order. He ships the pieces through the Post Office; place them in the garden.
4. Buy a Garden Store from Willy Builder, and a Jurassic Hair from Paper Pets (level 27, about 960). Put the Jurassic Hair on a resident Cluckles.
5. Only now get the amber: throw exactly 9,999 coins into the Wishing Well. The amber comes back, once per save. It can't be sold, crated or replaced, so never delete the garden it's in.
6. Make the egg: deposit the three pieces and the amber in the Garden Store. They're replaced by the egg.
7. Hatch it: direct the Jurassic-Hair Cluckles to the egg, in a quiet garden with no sours, no Fourheads and nothing that can scare the Cluckles. Don't interrupt it. An interrupted hatch has left eggs permanently stuck, and the only reported fix (a Vision Camera card) isn't available here. Keep the baby. It's unclear whether Dinokeeper unlocks on the egg or the hatch.

Records Keeper, Master Records Keeper and Expert Records Keeper

Restore 10, 30, and then all 97 of Piñata Central's Computer Records: 88 species plus 9 extra Flutterscotch colours.

• A record is restored when a member of that species, at maximum candiosity, is sent to a party through the Piñata Central crate just outside the garden, opposite the Tower of Sour.
• To fill candiosity, rename the piñata, feed it a Joy sweet, or direct the Choclodocus to it. The Choclodocus fills it instantly and can do it repeatedly.
• You don't need to complete the matching Langston challenge.
• Send each species as soon as it becomes resident. Send a species before you evolve it, because the evolved form is a different record.
• Some species appear in no Langston challenge and must be sent deliberately: Chewnicorn, Choclodocus, Dragonache, Flapyak, and the White, Red, Blue, Pink, Black, Brown and Yellow Flutterscotches.
• The Dragonache must be sent to a party. It comes from a random egg in the Mine (one per garden) and is hatched by a Cluckles. Its record reportedly doesn't need it matured. If the crate refuses the baby, mature it by feeding it milk, a snapdragon, a Dragumfly, a Reddhott and a Salamango.
• Keep the garden below its piñata limit and send one at a time. A piñata can come back invisible after a party when the garden is full. Crating and re-shipping it may restore it.

The game's Encyclopedia only shows a species once you've earned an award for it, so use the Trouble in Paradise Computer Records checklists in the Collectibles section at the end of this guide as your working list. Each entry gives that species' requirements. Area figures there are approximate, so once the species' Encyclopedia entry appears, follow its requirement text.

Rough order for the sweep:

1. Cheap early species while levelling.
2. The Desert and Arctic regions.
3. Sour-gated species: tame one sour of each first.
4. Evolution-only species.
5. The eleven blocked species. Each needs its appear and unblock conditions met together.
6. Late species: Roario (level 38), Jeli (level 31), Tigermisu, Galagoogoo, Eaglair, Chewnicorn, Pigxie and Hootyfruity.
7. The two egg species.

Journal → Player Awards → Computer Records hides species you've never met, so count ticks to 97 rather than looking for gaps. If Expert Records Keeper still hasn't unlocked at 97 ticks, look for a sour form you haven't sent.

At 750G, return to Rare Replay, verify 10/10 stamps, and stop.

Certify 750G from the base 1,000G list. Skip Jiggillionaire!, Arcade Pwner, Sunday League, Premier League!, What's That Smell?, Bit of Blue, High Fives All Round, All My Own Work, Too Easy!, Too Easy Too!, and Are You Trophy Thomas?. Those skips total exactly 250G, and every Xbox Live-only achievement is among them. Stop 'n' Swop is 0G and not needed. The route is fully offline and doesn't rely on the separate DLC list.

The 38 other positive-Gamerscore base achievements add up to exactly 750G, so on their own they leave zero slack. Bit of Blue is on the skip list because it isn't needed, but it's the only cheap offline extra. Earning it as well makes the plan 760G, so you can afford to miss one 10G achievement, but none worth more. Save 20 of your own blueprints at Mumbo's Motors; one-part nonsense vehicles are fine, and blueprints persist across saves.

Jiggy gates (banked Jiggies). Bank Jiggies by taking them out through each world's dispenser in Showdown Town and depositing them in the central Jiggy Container. Trophy Thomas's Jig-O-Vend pays one Jiggy per four T.T. Trophies.

• Game Globes: Nutty Acres is free after the tutorial; LOGBOX 720 at 2; Banjoland at 6; Jiggosseum at 12; Terrarium of Terror at 45. Each globe achievement unlocks when you place the globe on its plinth.
• Key acts: Jiggosseum Act 4 (Scuba Seat) at 38; Jiggosseum Act 5 (Laser) at 57; Terrarium of Terror Act 5 (Horn) at 90.
• Spiral Mountain opens at 75 banked Jiggies and needs the Spring on the trolley.

Backbone. Build the route around 60 T.T. Trophies. They give 60 challenge Jiggies plus 15 Trophy Thomas Jiggies, a 75-Jiggy backbone. Pimped Up needs 90 banked Jiggies, so add 15 cheap ones from Jiggy-standard challenges, Jolly Dodger purchases, tampered dispensers or other convenient sources. Use the trolley-upgrade chain: Nutty Acres Act 3 High-Grip Wheels; LOGBOX 720 Act 3 Floaters; Banjoland Act 4 Spring; Jiggosseum Act 4 Scuba Seat; Jiggosseum Act 5 Laser; Terrarium of Terror Act 5 Horn.

DO BEFORE ENDGAME: Burn the Witch! is the one missable. Grunty leaves Showdown Town once Spiral Mountain is reached, and on an unpatched copy that is permanent. As soon as Jiggosseum Act 5 gives you the Laser, go to Showdown Town and shoot Grunty with it. She stands next to the Nutty Acres Jiggy dispenser near the Jiggy Container. Do this before you bank your 75th Jiggy, and certainly before entering Spiral Mountain. Don't rely on a patch fixing it on this version.

Progression achievements

• Pointless Collector: the opening L.O.G. badge challenge in Spiral Mountain.
• Open Nuts, Next-Next-Gen, History Lesson, Let the Games Begin, Super Banjo Universe: place each Game Globe.
• My First Bank, Little Banker, Big Banker, Shower of Gold: bank 1, 10, 30 and 60 Jiggies.
• My First Trophy, Few Trophy Pts, More Trophy Pts, A Lot of Trophy Pts: earn 1, 10, 30 and 60 T.T. Trophies, the top tier of a challenge.
• Pimped Up: all six trolley upgrades; the last is the Horn from Terrarium Act 5 ("Unpleasant Fat Oaf") at 90 banked.
• Witch Hunt: defeat Grunty in Spiral Mountain. It's available any time after Burn the Witch! once 75 are banked and the Spring is fitted. You can enter and leave Spiral Mountain freely.

Showdown Town achievements

• Start to Free the Showdown Six and Vigilante: talk to the police chief to start the Jinjo rescue. Free a Jinjo (switch beside its cell) and re-house it. Then replace a freed Jinjo with a Minjo for Vigilante. Jinjo cells include one behind the houses near Mumbo's hut, one near the LOGBOX 720 entrance, and one by Boggy's Gym.
• Be Crateful: return two Mumbo crates to Mumbo's Motors. Easy ones are behind Mumbo's Motors, left of Nutty Acres Act 1, right of Nutty Acres Act 2, next to Humba's shop, and on the roof of L.O.G.'s factory.
• Head for Heights: behind L.O.G.'s factory, climb the loose red wire to the roof (up to the blue sparks, hop right, follow the pipes past the giant screen, take the tightropes). Then climb the tallest pole and stand on top. Grab the roof crate for Be Crateful on the way.
• Blueprint Buyout: buy any blueprint from Humba Wumba; her shop opens once you have 1 Jiggy.
• Paint Your Wagon: paint any part of a vehicle in Mumbo's Motors.
• Roid Rage: train once at Boggy's Gym at the docks beyond the theatre district. Any one upgrade to speed, strength or stamina counts (20-40 Notes). Reach the gym slopes once you have High-Grip Wheels.
• Fuzz Off!: police start patrolling at about 13-15 banked Jiggies. Wreck a patrol car with the wrench or Laser. Don't spend Notes bribing them.
• Bingo!: at King Jingaling's Palace, complete Column 5 with 1 Green Jinjo Token, 2 Blue Jinjo Tokens, 1 Red Jinjo Token, plus the free square.
• Loose Change: collect all 900 loose notes in Showdown Town. They sit in 29 groups (24 worth 27 notes, then 36, 45, 54, 54 and 63), all listed in collection order in the Nuts & Bolts Showdown Town Notes checklist in the Collectibles section. The Statistics screen shows Showdown Town notes out of 900; check it after each group so a shortfall points to the group you just did. Nothing in the game shows which groups remain. Notes hit by the wrench or a vehicle become loose objects and can fall into the water, so search underwater nearby if a group comes up short. Pull rooftop notes down with the wrench before collecting.
• Paparazzi: take five photos from the pause menu.
• Caught on Camera: save five replays after challenges.

World achievements. Pick up the Sticky Ball (Mumbo Crate 33 by the LOGBOX 720 doors, which needs the Spring, or Mumbo's 60-Jiggy freebie) and a Large Tray (Crate 23 on top of the Banjoland Pavilion, which needs the Floaters) before these.

• BBQ Beef (Nutty Acres): carry one of the roaming bull-bots up to the volcano, on foot or on a Tray, and toss it into the lava.
• Massive Damage (LOGBOX 720): wrench all ten legs off the Brain CPU chip in the centre of the bottom floor.
• Test Your Strength (Banjoland): fly to the base of the Cactus o' Strength in the water and ice area, then switch to a very heavy vehicle (a seat on top of a large stack of heavy blocks) and drop it onto the lever until the bell rings.
• Great Balls of Fire (Jiggosseum): carry a bowling ball (the pink one by the west podiums is easiest) into one of the gold-pig torches around the perimeter, using the Sticky Ball or a Large Tray. The fire on the metal frame above the stadium doesn't count.
• Ultimate Combo (Terrarium of Terror): load three different pieces of "ultimate junk" into one vehicle: a robot, a rocket and a flat plate/sign. Start from Act 2 with a Large Tray or Large Box vehicle; the Vroom can't reliably hold all three. The rocket is on the highest steel platform (where Boggy starts Saucer of Peril Returns), and the robot is on a high leaf in the main area. The plate/sign is reported both on the ring-shaped leaf above the Act 1 entrance and underwater in the glowing-roots room, so check both.
• Floater in the Pipe (Test-O-Track): take a flying vehicle with a Sticky Ball up to the floating ball above the spawn, attach it, and bring it down into the plumbing tunnel underneath the main structure.

Speed achievements. No speed values are published, so confirm each by its unlock. Whoa Nelly! normally unlocks together with whichever of the other two you earn first; if it doesn't, check it again after both.

• Minimalist (five blocks or fewer): fly to the top of Nutty Acres by the big turning cog, switch to a seat on a heavy block (two parts), and freefall. A Seat + Spring vehicle launched off the ramp in Jiggosseum Act 1 also works.
• Speedy of the Colossus (200 blocks or more): drop a 200+ block heavy cube from the same Nutty Acres cog. If it can't fly, start the fall in another vehicle and swap into the big one mid-air. A 200-part vehicle launched by Grunty's horn blast in Terrarium of Terror Act 5 is a fallback.

Once the base-list total is at least 750G, return to Rare Replay and verify 10/10 stamps. Do not continue toward the separate game's full 1,250G merely for Rare Replay.

Each playlist chains five snapshot challenges. Start the Playlists only after all nine external games show 10/10 stamps (see the stamp precaution under Tracking hygiene). You may fail at most twice across the playlist; a third failure ends the run and requires restarting that playlist. Main-game cheats and rewind are not available. Complete Blast Score first and aim for a clean no-failure run so one route can also satisfy 1-Upmanship.

Rare Revealed content unlocks progressively with rank. The final required Top-Secret Tunes item becomes available at Rank 30, which requires 312 stamps. Starting each clip is sufficient to mark it viewed, so once the full library is open, process each category systematically and back out after playback begins.

Finish the remaining three playlists. Every completed playlist awards five stamps, so all six playlists together contribute 30 stamps.
