Achievements

Cheats

There are 12 achievements with a total of 200 points.

Good Form

Complete a legal jump in the Long Jump event with an elevation of exactly 45 degrees.

Getting a 45 degrees jump can either come very easy or you could find it very difficult. Pick up some speed with which ever way you are most comfortable with and when it’s time to jump, hold

for around half a second. Since it asks for 45 degrees only this can take a few tries. Luckily this is event 2 so you shouldn’t have much trouble. Note: Getting a foul will not get you the achievement so be careful.

Consistent Throwing

Complete three consecutive throws over 65 meters in the Javelin Throw event.

Pick up a good amount of speed (around 1,150 will do). Just before you reach the grass press

for around half a second. You should aim for roughly 40 – 50 degrees. Remember, the longer you hold

the bigger the number gets, so only hold it for a short period of time. A good throw will start to descend at around 45 feet and it will land above 60 meters. After doing the Javelin event more than once this will come easy to you.

Super Sprinter

Complete the 100 Meter Dash in less than 10 seconds.

You need to be good at moving the

and tapping

on your controller here. A good way of getting this easily is try to beat the person you’re running against. As this is the first event, it’s not too frustrating if you're doing it the first time.

Fast Track

Beat your opponent by more than a second in the 110 Meter Hurdles event.

The person you are running against isn’t too good at this event. He may fall down once or twice which will give you an easy second lead. If he doesn’t fall down then the only way to do it is not hit any hurdles. When running between hurdles it usually takes 3 – 4 left/right movements on the

before it’s time to press

again. This is another event that can come easily to you with a few tries.

Legendary Leaper

Jump longer than 9 meters in the Long Jump event.

You need great speed (around 1,250) and should aim for a jump of around 42 – 47 degrees. You will probably do this event a lot of times if you fail in the later ones. You should be getting adequate practice. Note: If you get a foul, the achievement will not be unlocked.

Big Thrower

Throw the javelin further than 80 meters.

The Javelin event is easy once you get the hang of it. Remember to get great speed and stop before the grass so you don’t get a foul. Press and hold

for around half a second. Like the Consistent Throwing achievement, you want to aim around 40 -50 degrees. It’s preferable to get closer to 50 than 40. It should start descending around 55 – 60 meters and you will get this.

Speedy Jumper

Complete the 110 Meter Hurdles event in less than 12 seconds.

If you manage to get around 9 seconds in the 100 meter dash, this will not prove too difficult. Remember that there should only be 3 – 4 left/right movements on the

before it’s time to jump again (

). Hit no hurdles and you should get this after a few practise rounds. You can also get the Fast Track achievements easily if you get under 12 seconds.

Bird Catcher

Spear a bird!

Run up to the grass as you would on the Javelin event but instead of just holding the

button for a short time, hold it for as long as it allows you to. The angle of the throw will be about 80 degrees. You will know you are doing this correctly because the javelin will go over the scoreboard and out of view. If you hear a noise and the screen stops panning right, you’ve hit a bird. This happens randomly but is very easy to do. Note: You cannot get this achievement if you get a foul.

1st Place

Complete the first 6 events and be in 1st place.

Go through the game as many times as it takes you to memorise all the events and fine tune your strategy to get all the best scores. Get to know each event like the back of your hand. When you’re ready, start a new game and play for the win. This will really hurt your fingers from all the button bashing so it might be wise to take breaks after every event. Beat the CPU player on every event and you will get this achievement.

Hercules

Hurl the hammer further than 90.00 meters.

Don’t take any notice of the power bar or anything for this event as there is an easy way not to hit the sides. Rotate 6 times then when you see the flash of red hit the

button. By rotating six times you will have enough power to do this. You just need to quickly tap

to get a 45 degree angle. If you hit the side, just practise getting your timing right but it won’t be too much of a problem as the red flash on the ball is very helpful.

Human Spring

Clear a 2.38 meter jump in the High Jump event.

You will need to do seven jumps in order to get the bar this high. That in itself can be a rather annoying task. Don’t worry though. If you do the first 3 jumps successfully you will carry on to the next event even if you fall on the last one. Your character automatically runs towards the bar in this event which is a nice rest. Once you’re around a quarter of an inch from the bar, very quickly tap

. When your head/shoulders are at the bar’s height, press

again to move your body and use the

to drift right. This can be difficult to master but is easy when you get the hang of it.

Perfection

Qualify on every individual attempt in the first 6 events.

This will hurt your hands more than any other achievement. You have to qualify for every try in every event. E.g. you are given 3 tries to get the javelin over the 65ft mark so you must get all 3 tries over 65. With the high jump event, you need to jump over the first three jumps without using up your three lives. Just like the 1st Place achievement, you need to know each event inside out. With enough practise and bald spots on your head you will get this. If you don’t qualify for even 1 try then you must start again. Good luck with this one but since the events get easier the more you do them, this will come with enough time and effort.
