I think by "5" he was including Pooh Black. Who the heck is silly enough to mistake Pooh Black for Balrog. :rolleyes:

Here's a few achievements I've just thought up:

The only gun you'll ever need: Keep polar star until the end of the game.
Wooden Spoon: Complete Hell in 30+ minutes.
Shoop da Whoop: Use only fully charged shots when using the Spur.
Sadist: Inflict 3000 points of damage in one game.
Masochist: Take 500 points of damage without dying.
Pancakes!: Get squashed by Ballos 7 times.
Hangtime: Stay in the air for 20+ seconds without using any aids.
Medallist: Collect all 3 medals.
Cloud Nine: Disappear off the top of the screen.
Rocketman: Kill all enemies (excluding bosses which are immune) using only the rocket launcher.

Is that even possible?
You also need to specify a beginning and end criteria of challenges since shooting max charge once can get you a 100% record (assuming it's possible to shoot a max charge that isn't preceeded by a level 1 shot).

It's possible, but you have to cheat--open your inventory, select the spur and press x to both close the inventory and start charging. Useful in mods where an ammo limit it stuck on it, like Seriousface's Hard Mode.

Shoop da whoop is funny, I think it should be
Shoop da whoop- Charge the spur for an entire minute

Which would then "secretly" make it go to level 4? hmmmm???
That would be awesome.
I never read others, so any repeats are an oops.
Plus They will be said weird since I don't remember all stage/weapon names.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Never talk to strangers- Never talk to Clthulu (can't spell)
Isolated from society- Only talk to story-forwarding npcs
Suicide anyone?- Jump off the ledge at the top area after secret cave.
Twinkle Twinkle little star, what I wonder is a cat- Get that Twinkle star weapon thing.
Oops! Sorry about that....- Talk to the old man with a Machine gun or snake.
Oh hell....- Talk to the sign in Hell.
OhGodSlipperyFloor!- Fall off the outer ledge.
Ignore the injured- Don't talk to the king either time when he falls.
Umm...I'm over here.- Let Toroko live for more than 10 seconds. (If you never have let her live for more than 10 seconds you wouldn't understand why I called it that.)
I'm on their side too!- Only shoot Curly, not the mimigas.
It's a trap!- Die by the trapfloor spikes in Grasstown.
OOH! REJECTED!- Say no to the Balrog first boss fight.
It's over NIINNNEEE TTHHHOOUUUSSSAAANNNDDD!!! - Do over 9000 damage total.
Wheres a map when you need one....- Don't get the Map device.
IT BURNS! - Die by lava.
So, wheres the Gumpaste?- Already have charcoal and Jellyfish juice before talking to Malco.
No...No that would be to easy- Don't talk to the door when you get the rusty key. Go directly to Malcos door instead.
Glad I wasn't on that bike...- Talk to the crashed bike.
How come I can't use the booster?! Oh well...I got this anyway!- Never equip the booster (need machine gun.)
Just in case- Beat the doctor while having a Jellyfish Juice in your inventory.
OH RIGHT! I should have used that...- Beat Sacred Grounds without ever using your life pot
Hey! You got one too? Nice!- Beat sacred grounds with just the nemesis. (Curly has one so I thought that name fit)
Rubber ducky, your the one!- Beat sacred grounds with only the Lv3 nemesis.
Wow man, you suck.- Get Bad ending.
You've beat this before haven't you?- Talk to where the door to the outer wall right after you save Sue.
I warned ya- Die by that white monster in egg corridor (Egg corridor? doesn't count.)


I'll think of more later.

Talk isn't the right word here... how about "examine"?

I highly doubt this is possible.

Pfft, nitpicker. Negative achievement is an achievement, too, only... y'know, negative. Also:

Black Eye Collector - Get hit by every non-boss monster kind (excluding Basil)
Show Appreciation - Watch the whole credits

A negative "achievement" is no achievement at all. An achievement is something that requires effort to do. Dying in a certain way does not require effort. Such things should not be on this list.

Well, in games there are commonly achievements that require less effort than sitting down. If you wanted only real achievements, you'd need things like "Finish the game on best ending in less than hour" or "Finish Sacred Grounds in less than 5 minutes without being hit". That's what I call achievements, not "Examine the crashed bike".

I think while some Achievements should be agonizingly hard, some should be ridiculously comedic, and some others hidden.

Most of mine were the ladders. Comedic and hidden.

2.) I may talk to my doors and motorbikethings, but at least I don't examine them hard enough to undress them with my eyes.



I mean how many people would have missed talked to the bike when it crashed or actually jumped in santas spikes? I mean some people don't do it, thus missing the achievement.

First of all, "latters" not "ladders". And I'm not going to disagree with you on that, generally. It's really just when the achievement involves dying that I object... because that's not really something to boast about.

"Oh, I died in the start cave! Do I get an achievement status?"
- "Uh, no, because any new player would be able to avoid that. That's stupidity, not an achievement."

(And I say this despite the fact that I may have died there myself. :rolleyes: )

Yeah, "examine the crashed bike" is a valid achievement, though I don't really think it's worth including. As I said, it's just the death ones I object to. Achievements for discovering easter eggs are fine too.

By the way, I don't get the "Um, I'm over here?" one. Care to explain?
