Introduction: Fruit Ninja, the popular iPhone/iPod touch, and later, Android OS game has arrived on the WP7 device, bringing along with it most of the same achievements.

The gameplay is simple, fruit is thrown in the air on the screen and you swipe your finger across the screen, hacking up as many fruits as you can to gain points. There are 3 modes available:

Classic Mode - Life based mode where you are given 3 "lives" as the fruit is thrown in the air. Missing a fruit will cause you to lose a life, gaining 100 points will earn you back a life. Bombs will be scattered throughout the fruit and touching a bomb will cause you to automatically fail.

Zen Mode - 90 second mode where there are no bombs or lives to worry about, just plenty of fruit hacking fun where your primary goal is to get combos by slicing multiple fruits in one hack across the screen.

Arcade Mode - 60 second mode similar to Zen Mode except there are a LOT more fruits on the screen, there are bombs there to ruin your day, and random power up bananas will appear on the screen. Activating a banana (either red/yellow Frenzy mode, or a blue banana that will stop the clock and slow down the movement of the fruit on the screen) is the best way to accrue points in this mode.

Great Fruit Ninja 10
Get a score of 100 in Classic Mode

- See Ultimate Fruit Ninja

Ultimate Fruit Ninja 10
Get a score of 200 in Classic Mode

Select Classic Mode from the Mode Select screen, in this mode you are given 3 "lives" that are lost when any fruit is missed and falls off the screen. Bombs will also appear with the fruit and if accidentally swiped, will cause you to the lose the game. So take your time as it is not time based, just try and swipe all fruit while it's on the screen and be careful to avoid the bombs as it's an automatic loss.

If you do lose a life, another one will be granted at 100 points.

Fruit Fight 10
Kill 150 Fruit Total

Fruit Blitz 10

Fruit Frenzy 10
Kill 1000 Fruit Total

Fruit Rampage 10
Kill 5000 Fruit Total

See Fruit Annihilation

Fruit Annihilation 10
Kill 10000 Fruit Total

Sounds like a lot, but considering this is the only thing you're tasked to do in this game, it goes by fast. If you've completed all other achievements and have not unlocked this, arcade mode is a fast way to destroy fruit as the the "Frenzy" banana power-up will throw large amounts of fruit on the screen for you to murder.

Lucky Ninja 10
Get 6 criticals in one round in Classic Mode

Survive long enough in Classic Mode to receive 6 critical attacks on fruit. As far as I can tell, critical hits on fruit are random and don't involve swiping them any particular way. So just keep playing in Classic Mode and you should receive this in time.

Almost A Century 10
Get a score of 99

Load up Classic Mode and play until you're around 95 points. At this point, slice fruit one by one so you don't accidentally swipe through a large amount and get a combo bonus that will take you above 99. Once you're at 99, let your lives run out and you'll receive this achievement.

Mango Magic 10
Get a critical hit with a Mango

Again, I believe critical hits in this game are random so continue to play and this should unlock through natural progression.

Deja Vu 10
Kill 4 of the same type of fruit in a row in Classic Mode

In Classic Mode, there will be moments where a row of the same fruit will appear on the screen. Take your time, wait until they reach the top of the screen and as they're about to fall, take a long swipe from left to right and hit as many as you can. You'll likely get this early on playing Classic.

Combo Mambo 10
Slice 6 fruit in one combo

Same idea as Deja Vu, but can be done in other modes and the fruits don't have to match. You should easily receive this in Arcade Mode while having a Frenzy power up, but is easily obtainable in other modes.

Moment Of Zen 10
Achieve a score of 200 in Zen Mode

Zen Mode - Focus primarily on combos here, best advice I can give is to just take your time and don't just swipe randomly all over the screen, take long and well placed swipes to eliminate as much fruit as you can together.


Year Of The Dragon 10
Slice the secret fruit!

In Classic Mode, every now and then a prickly shaped fruit will quickly fly across the screen. All you have to do is quickly swipe it and you'll receive the achievement and a bonus 50 points will be added to your score. Don't recall seeing this fruit in any other mode.

The Lovely Bunch 10
Get the Lovely Bunch star in Zen Mode

Zen Mode - Occasionally 5-6 coconuts will shoot up in the air. Don't panic, just wait until they're all lined up and then quickly swipe in one motion and try and hit all of them. This seems to be pretty random/luck based so just keep replaying Zen Mode until they show up. You must hit a minimum of 5 coconuts to receive the star at the end of the round.

Tip via TripleKillFeed: Nope, I got the Lucky Bunch star with a 3 coconut combo. It must be your best combo though in order for it to display at the end for the Lucky Bunch star. My advice is to try and not get too many 4+ combos on other fruit (or not hit any at all unless they are 3+ coconuts) if you only want to go for this achievement.

Its All Pear Shaped 10
Kill 3 Pears in a row in Classic Mode

Classic Mode - I unlocked this by: waiting until 2 were grouped together, slice them, and then hope that the next batch of fruit will have a pear in it I can focus on. I actually sliced 2 pears, 3 other fruits were thrown up and dropped and I lost, but then a pear shot in the air that I sliced before it took me to the main menu and it still unlocked.

Wake Up 10
Get a score of 0

Load up Classic Mode and let it sit there until you lose. Easy.

Underachiever 10
Get a score of less than 20 after all bonuses have been awarded

You'll get this in Arcade Mode where bonuses are awarded. Few ways of getting this, an easy way is to hit a banana (not hitting one will award 50 points), another fruit (credit to m4milo, I forgot that only hitting 1 fruit will give you a bonus), and a bomb (not hitting one will also award points) and let the time run out. Easy!

Overachiever 10
Get a score of over 400 after bonuses

Arcade Mode - may take a few attempts but if you take advantage of the red/yellow striped banana, you'll go into frenzy mode and with a few well placed swipes (I always do long swipes starting from left to right across the screen), you should get this without too much effort. Just avoid bombs as they will eliminate your current banana power up and erase all fruit on the screen.

Bomb Magnet 10
Hit three bombs and score over 250 points after bonuses

Arcade Mode - Either start the game and hit 3 bombs right away so you can just focus on points, or play naturally with the time and by the end, if you haven't hit 3 bombs, quickly hit enough. Shouldn't take much effort to receive 250 points, especially if you use the power ups wisely.

--

Another easy /200 WP7 game. Only annoying achievements for me were The Lovely Bunch and Its All Pear Shaped due to the random order that the fruit appear in, but with a little patience or luck you should quickly have this game finished. Any advice or criticism, let me know and I'll adjust the guide accordingly. Thanks.

Cool guide, thanks

Nice guide bro.

It's nowhere near as easy as you make it out to be trust me.

Sorry, but what parts exactly are you having difficulty with? I'm far from a gaming god and besides a few retries for the high scores, I haven't had a difficult time with any of it.

But if you have a reason why the difficulty should be raised a couple points, let me know and I'll consider adjusting it, but from what I've heard from other people that have played it, they've also breezed through it with relative ease.

Ok I have them all now exept 6 criticals as I think its impossible. I know people have it but I got 276 in classic and still didn't get it. i don't think many people got a score tha high.

Does anyone have a solution for this stupid achievement?

I played it so many times it seems that there are only a handful of patterns when your criticals start. The one I got it on was when you get a critical on your 4th fruit. I had 4 criticals by the time I hit 100. My highest before was 287 and never got it. As the instructions say they are random.

My trouble is kill 4 fruit in a row. The achievement guide explains it as it has to be a combo. However, either way I have never seen this many of the same fruit come up in classic.

In Classic Mode, there will be moments where a row of the same fruit will appear on the screen. Take your time, wait until they reach the top of the screen and as they're about to fall, take a long swipe from left to right and hit as many as you can. You'll likely get this early on playing Classic.

You do not have to hit all four fruit at the same time. Nor have I personally see four fruit of the same tpe on the screen at once in all my games of CLASSIC. Well over a 100 games. When I got this it was right at the start of the game. 2 watermelon then 2 watermelon.

[WithTheDawn]

4 of the same fruit in a row is glitches for some, done it on classic several times now

I'm having trouble with this achievement. I do the exact same thing you say and I always get 35 points:
5: Fruit Salad
5: Delicious Fruit
25: First and Last Fruit

What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

EDIT: I figured it out. You also need to slice an additional fruit so you don't get the First and Last Fruit 25 point bonus. I got 15 points by slicing a banana, 1 fruit and 1 bomb. You should definitely edit this in your guide.

Fixed and credited, thanks. I was mostly going off of memory when I wrote this so I forgot about that bonus.

[Mightymango]

So what are the best bonuses for the 400 point achievement in Arcade mode?

Thanks! Just trying to help.

The Lovely Bunch 10
Get the Lovely Bunch star in Zen Mode
You must hit a minimum of 5 coconuts to receive the star at the end of the round.

Nope, I got the Lucky Bunch star with a 3 coconut combo. It must be your best combo though in order for it to display at the end for the Lucky Bunch star.

Good to know, I'll add to the guide. Thanks.

[MajinDustin]

Hey you have the game listing 12/12 achievements, but there are actually 20

[DENAz666]

Nice guide mate, but you might want to check out the Guide and Roadmap guidlines if you want to get it posted to the site

Guide & Roadmap layout guides. This will give you a much better chance of your guide being accepted

[luuwat]

finally got the 400 points, its all about luck, having a freeze and frenzy combo banana seems like the only way for me.

still having trouble hitting 4 fruits in a row in classic mode

I know that if you slice every fruit it is 50 points. If you get a 9 fruit combo it is 50 points and if you get a 10 fruit combo it is 55 points. Those are the big bonuses I've gotten.

[El Presidente]

I don't know, maybe I'm just a loser or my fingers are too fat for my phone or something ... but I don't get the highscores o.O

Classic is kinda bad luck, I died several times at around 180 or 190. Ok.

But the 200 in Zen and 400 in Arcade seem impossible to me! My highscores are roundabout 180 and 360, but I don't get any more points, no way. And I already have the 10k-Cheevo, so I played a lot.


So please put up the difficulty-rating by some points, so that I don't feel that bad any more

[ThingontheFloor]

Alright, based on a couple requests, I've raised the difficulty to 2-3. I hope nobody really thinks I initially put it at a 1-2 because I wanted to show how awesome I was at this game or anything like that, because I have no reason to try and mislead people to buy for the game for easy points. I've never played the game before, and I'm not saying that to brag, I just mean I had zero frame of reference and I picked up on it fast.

[DENAz666]

Not a bad guide at all

If your looking to submit it to the site and have it stickied and posted, you might want to have a look at the guidelines for submitting guides

[DeAtHisLaNd]

Thanks OP !!!

Easy & Fun 200

[dillon]

Don't see how this is anywhere close to a 2-3 or 1-2 hour game. Considering I have been trying for the 200 in classic for easily 3 hours. I would say this achievement alone is a 7-8 difficulty.

These bombs are completely retarded and take the fun out of this game.


Other than that great guide.

[brAnd7onX]

finally got to 200. My advice to everyone is to just keep at it. U will eventually get it.

[H0p3sfalL]

Great guide!!!!

[dnodavila]

The only one I have had trouble with is score 400 or more in arcade.

[MastrMeatWad]

So I have most of the achievements.. I am struggling w/ the 400 points.. The bonus are an important piece to obtaining this achieve.. Do you, anyone know the entire list of bonuses? and if so add them to the guide? Just a suggestion, cuz if I knew what the best bonus was, like hitting 3 bombs nets 50 i think, but then you have to account losing 30 points for hitting them, so trying to get the 400 is hard.. .. Also if you purposly skip a bannana another will come back soon it seems, is that accurate, I try and avoid the freeze ban as they don't net many points like the yellow red-frenzy..

BTW: anyone know where I can ask, a forum regarding win7 phone games and if you must rebuy if you switch provider/phones?

[m4milo]

I got some advice for Deja Vu which I just got. Like someone else mentioned, the 4 fruit don't have to come all at the same time so you can have one slice and get all 4 at the same time. Obviously, is you do it that way you'll get the achievement. What I'm trying to say is that you can slice 3 of the same fruit in a row, let two different drop and slice the next one that is similar to the previous 3 you sliced, for example.

I read this tip on trueachievements.com so I don't take credit for it but it did helped me to get the achievement. I will however, write it differently.

1. When you start a Classic game, 6 fruit come out before the 1st bomb appears. You will try to get the achievement with these 6 fuits.
2. When the game starts, you will either get a Papaya or a Watermelon. Make sure that the first and second fruit that appear and you slice are Papayas.
3. Then two more fruit will appear at the same time. If a Papaya is one of them, slice it and let the other one drop.
4. Then two more fruit will appear at the same time. Again, if a Papaya is one of them, slice it and the achievement should pop.
5. If some of these conditions don't happen, immediately pause and restart the game untill it happens. This will obviously take a few tries but you will get it eventually.
6. The same can be applied with watermelons so if the first two fruits are Watermelons go for it.

[DwayneDays]

achievement difficulty about 3/10 if even get real babies
