Play Head
Stay 100% in syng for a whole song
Keep your sync to 100%. Try to make a perfect race by collecting as many speed boxes as you can, drifting, avoiding crashes or falling off the track.
Fast Forward
Enter the super-sync zone 10 times in under 40 seconds
Constantly boost into super-sync by drifting and collecting speed boxes. You also get into the super-sync zone during the *drops* of your song. You'll have to enter this sync zone 10 times in less than 40 seconds. Tip: Crashing after boosting into super-sync, resets your car while keeping the super-sync active, allowing you enter a second time.
Push the Tempo
Stay in the super-sync zone for 25 consecutive seconds
Can be achieved by collecting consecutive speed boxes and constantly boosting into super-sync. Try and maintain this for 25 seconds by boosting right before collecting a new set of speed boxes.
Stuck in a Loop
Play a single song 10 times
Do it. Length doesn't matter ;).
Can't Touch This
Beat a recommended ghost
Play a song from the DAT Bundle folder and beat the recommended ghost.
Extended Play
Race on a song longer than 10 minutes in length.
Pretty self-explanatory.
Swift
Boost 20 times or more in one song
Find a song with many speed boxes and super-sync zones in it so you can boost as much as possible.
Back and Forth
Drift more than 16 beats in one manoeuvre
Find a song with long turns so you have time/place to drift. Practice your drifts and once you get the hang of it, you'll be able to smoothly drift a 16 beats set easily.
Jump the Needle
Jump more than 8 beats in one manoeuvre
Play something with high BPM and huge jumps. Timing your boost can also help.
Flip the Record
Roll more than 4 beats in one manoeuvre
Do a barrel roll jump that lasts 4+ beats. Find a song with high BPM and ramps.
Unstoppable
Drive a whole song without hitting a barricade
Do a perfect run without hitting any obstacles. If your having difficulty, try a 1-Star song.
Remix
Score more than 100,000 on a song under 3 minutes in length
Can be difficult, but it can be done with good timing of boosts and drifts. Find a song under 3 minutes and score over 100,000 points. Alternatively, one could remix a song, therefore remixing the track and making it easier to score over 100,000 points.
Destructive
Smash 30 boxes or more without missing one
Find a calm/slow song where you can focus on boxes and smash 30 of them consecutively.

@jscriv Yes you do, and it has to be a song that hasn't been uploaded by someone previously I believe.
j_scriv 31 Jan, 2020 @ 9:56pm 
how do you get the authoring one? Do you have to upload a song with metadata stuff?

for back and forth achievement i find ideal song- Fight like hell by JT Music (doom fan rap)
a bit after middle of song theres curve where u can get easily great drift, even without great skills, just start a drift and let car do its work. i personaly recommend a razor, for me its best car for not good drifter (worry not, u are no alone, im terrible on drifting myself)

I agree with Squirtle_Squad. You just said what we already knew.

Mazoge - I do not wish to suggest songs as my opinion will be biased seeing I got most of the achievements playing Romanian songs. I can add some of those to the guide, but I doubt you'll enjoy playing the game like that. The whole beauty about this game is that you can play your favorite tunes.
Users can suggest songs they used to get specific achievements if they wish, it's not mandatory.
As for the Remix achievement, this video can help.

not realy a guide...
sort of information which song to play to get achievement "Play a Classic Song" or
"Score more than 100,000 on a song under 3 minutes in length" would be useful... but it's not there...
also funny that you want users to suggest specific tracks for achievements... shoudnt that be your part by putting up this "guide"?... :steamfacepalm:

Squirtle_Squad - Yes and no. Some achievements have additional info, explaining how to obtain them. Some achievements are plain forward and require no additional explanation.
