Hero of Metropolis

200

Complete All Metro Events And Mini-Games

For this one you have to:

complete all 5 Bizarro Mini Games (see "You Am Bizarro")
complete all 9 Fast Flyer races (see "Super Sonic")
find all 100 Kittens (see "Mr. Whiskers")

and complete the entire story mode

Armageddon Averted

Complete Level 01: Meteor Storm

Simply complete the first level of the game. The game will walk you through this, just destroy all the meteors and the level's over.

Mr. What's-his-name

Complete All Mini-Games

"All Mini-Games" means:
all Bizarro games (see "You Am Bizarro!")
all Fast Flyer races (see "Super Sonic")
and finding all kittens. (see "Mr. Whiskers")

You Am Bizarro!

Complete The Bizarro Mini-Game

There are 5 of these total and a map to find each one can be found HERE.

The best way to rack up points is to use the "hold

" move around a group of 2 or more cars (the more the better), and to use his corkscrew move (

) when facing rows of single cars. If there aren't many cars around then use his sprint to find bigger bunches of them.

Super Sonic

Finished All Fast Flyer Mini-Games

There are nine of these races, and a map to them can be found HERE.

Please note that these must be done in order from 1-9 in order for them to even appear on the map.

If you are having trouble with any of them the best way to get them is to get to know the track after a few tries and learn where its easiest to cut corners without missing the checkpoints.

Also, make sure you save right after you use each race, because if you choose to redo a chapter or if you fail in protecting Metropolis and have to start over that way, all of your times will be deleted and you'll have to start from scratch. (thanks to miiiguel for hint)

Mr. Whiskers

Find All Kittens

Collect the 100 kittens scattered across Metropolis. This is the hardest achievement in the game, but you can check this thread for help.

Souped-Up Superman

Obtain All 15 Power-Ups

Power-ups are earned during story progression. You'll get this achievement after you complete the final level of the game where you save Metropolis from the Tornadoes.

Frequent Flyer

Travel For 10,000 Miles

The odd thing about this achievement is that you don't actually have to fly all 10,000 miles to get it, it also counts any miles that you walk.

So I recommend beating the game first and getting those miles added on. Then, in the post-game chapter, use rubber bands to hold the right stick so it's rotating the camera around superman. Then put tape down (scotch tape works fine) over the

to go as fast as possible. I also recommend using a rubber band to pull the

forward, just in case the tape over the

comes off.

Go to sleep, and you should be there or nearly there when you wake up.

Roadside Assistance

Pick Up 100 Cars Throughout The Game

All you have to do for this is pick up the same car with

and put it down with

over and over. You can check how many you've lifted in the statistics menu at the pause screen.

The Greatest Day

Play A Total Of 12 Hours

Playing through the whole campaign which takes about 6 hours, and finding all the kittens, takes about three. When you leave the console on overnight to get the "Frequent Flyer" achievement, you'll get this one as well.

Heavy Lifting

Lift 10,000 Tons Throughout The Game

The I-Beams found in construction sites are obscenely heavy, and work like a charm. The way to do this is to grab one of them, and then find a section between two buildings with a good amount of space.

Have Superman's back to one of the buildings, but 5 or 6 steps in front of it. Every time you press

to throw the beam, he pulls it back first. If you are close enough to the building, the beam will hit the building and you'll just drop the beam. Now you just have to rapidly tap

and he'll keep dropping and picking up the Beam at a good rate. You'll also have to take 3 or 4 steps forward after a good 10-12 drops, because each time he's moved a little closer to the wall. Keep this up for a half hour or so, and you should get it in no time.

Secret Achievements

Warworld

Visited and Dominated Warworld

You'll get this achievement after beating the first part of the game where you fight the 2 minibosses and then Mongul. For Mongul all you have to do is block his attacks and then counter attack with a good combo. Rinse and repeat until he falls.

Twisted

100

Saved Metropolis from the rampaging tornado.

This is the very last part of the game, where you'll stop 3 tornadoes by using your super breath to blow them away from the city, then freeze breath to damage them. Then, you need to put out several fires, and finally, stop one massive tornado. Once you're inside the big one, you'll have to alternate shooting its core with heat vision and ice breath. First use heat vision. When the core turns red, use ice breath, and repeat until it's over.

The Mongul Hordes

100

Vanquished Mongul once again.

All the bosses you fought on War World will come to visit you near the end of the game. Simply keep progressing and fighting them, while making sure to not let the city get too damaged. Once you beat Mongul in an extremely similar fashion to the first time, you'll get the achievement.

Me aM savE yOU!

100

By you is Bizarro not undefeated!

Bizzaro's not so hard to fight. When Bizarro was in the air, what I did was lock onto him with

, then used

to keep ramming into him over and over. Alternatively, you can hit him with heat vision.

When he's on the ground just block and counter attack until he's in the air again. Near the end, you'll engage in a button pressing minigame of sorts. After the third one he'll finally go down for good!

Metallo Mastered

100

Stopped Metallo in the name of justice.

Metallo is the first boss you fight when you get back to Metropolis. The first few times you fight him aren't so hard. but eventually he'll start emanating this green aura which doesn't let you touch him. This is the time to destroy all his minions and eventually he'll use that energy to revive them. During the time his aura is down,unload your combos on him until he puts it up again, and repeat. When he gets huge the only way to hurt him is to throw his flying minions at him. Just freeze them and throw, over and over, until he launches the missile. Now, just lock onto the missile and hold right bumper to speed after it. Once you catch up to it, you'll get a cut scene and the achievement.

Versatile Fighter

Perform 99 fighting combos.

You should easily attain this while playing the campaign. Just make sure to use a lot of combos while you fight minions and you'll get it in no time. I actually got it doing the Bizarro mini games, because every time you do the corkscrew or his Hold

attack, it counts as a combo, and you'll be doing these a lot.
