How to unlock the Remember This Day Forever achievement in A Short Hike - Definitive Guide

This is done at the beach sports game. To get the commemorative hat, get a rally score of 30 or more. Drop the ball after getting 30, you'll get the hat and the achievement. An easy way to make sure you get past 30 is to count it out, and to choose that the serve does count as a hit for a free extra point.

I found it really difficult to get past 25 or so. Then I developed a new technique which got me the achievement in only a few attempts: grab your controller in a funky way and hold down cn_X (run) with one finger while tapping cn_B (use the stick) with another. Running requires the running shoes, which you get by completing the mission for Sue (the rabbit) who is looking for her headband.

Holding down b and tapping the x made it way easier, thx!

Camera angle makes this an utter nonsense. Ruined the entire game for me.

This sounds crazy, but I taped my right thumbstick down so I could get a better viewing angle and that helped big time. Ended up going to 45 hits.

I struggled with the perspective before trying this, after trying to make it more playable I just uninstalled the game

Hard Achievement, like a few in this game, one trick that I found out after beating everything in the game and trying this for an hour total time, was always just follow the ball, and move your character the moment it comes for you, also line yourself up with where the other bird is distance wise to have an advantage. I got 67 the moment I did the first one though, so it just be the main trick to use! Good luck! ❤️

I followed the shadow not the ball, which helped avoid the camera angle / perspective issues, took me a couple of tries after I started doing that

Choosing whether the first point counts makes no difference to the achievement because your partner never misses. You have to hit the ball 15 times and your partner will do the same (or 16 times if the serve counts). A little meta maths joke that amused me.

"Choosing whether the first point counts makes no difference to the achievement"

Not really, because they get progressively more difficult to return. The person who gets the 30th hit will alternate depending on whether the serve counts or not. If the serve counts you get your 15th hit on overall hit 29, leaving the final hit to your partner. If it doesn't count, you get hit 30 on your own hit 16, meaning you had to return +1 harder shot.

Remember you can also remap buttons in the Accessibility -> Controller settings on your Xbox to make simultaneous sprinting and hitting easier. I swapped LB and X, and got it that way.

I was having tons of trouble with this until I figured out you should follow the shadow of the ball and not the actual ball itself. Much easier to know where it's headed if you follow the shadow imo.

After changing the buttons as @RockTomorrow suggested I got this first time! Just constantly hold down run, stay towards the back of the court after each hit and it’s pretty easy. I got 37.

This achievement is a disgrace and a waste of time. If you read this before touching this stupid game, don't start it.

This took a few tries for sure, but not that many. Hold X with one finger and have another finger hovering over B button. I tried to start my rallies at the back of the inner square. The hit box is pretty generous and the timing window is also fairly lax. A bit janky overall.

Finally managed to complete this last achievement with some help from my 9 year old son. Found out that activating copilot with another controller. One pressing down X for running, while the other played stickball. Then we managed 39 hits after approximate 10 tries.

I swear the hitbox on the ball is broken. Sometimes it counts as being hit when it's behind me and has zero business being a valid hit, other times it's right in front of me and completely misses. Like there's zero point in doing all this rebinding keys and following shadows when the hitbox is jank

Took me longer to find the court than it did to hit 30 haha. Record is 49!

For me it helped on the timing to mash the B button while moving. I went from 21 to 39 in one try once I realized this.

Watch the shadow of the ball. I found it easier to track.

I must be doing something wrong. I tried all these tricks mentioned and tried for about an hour and only managed to get 20 once. I think I'll pass on this game since I haven't unlocked an achievements yet. There's better things to play.

this achievement was easy peasey after following RianFL’s trick. I also preferred having my pixel size set to minimum but i’m not sure if that helped me or not

Just got this one. My tip: holding the weight of the pad in your left hand, constantly hold down X with your right index finger, and use your middle finger to press B to hit the ball. That way, you're always running, which makes the last ten hits easier/possible.

Tried using the X button, but kept going past the ball and missing. In the end, I got it by treating it as a tennis game, that sucker isn't hitting it back to you, he's trying to catch you out. There is somewhat of a pattern to it, once I got the hang of that, I managed to get it by anticipating where he would send the ball on his return hit.

Beachstickball is a minigame you can play in the northwest corner of the island, located on the small beach near the graveyard. The game is simple requiring you to hit the beach ball with a stick, keeping it up in the air. You and the computer controlled character are working together, even though they sometimes hit the ball too hard or too far away from you. You'll need to collectively hit the ball 30 times or more to unlock the hat. Here is how to play beachstickball in A Short Hike. Here is how to get the commemorative hat in A Short Hike.

We need to get a rally of 30 hits in Beachstickball to get this achievement - this is basically tennis using a beachball and sticks. This video will show you a playthrough of me getting this with tips on how I done it.

Remember This Day Forever Achievement - starts around 22:35 in this video
Part 1 - Feather Finder, Remember This Day Forever, Not a Scratch Achievement & Feathers Forever Achievement - Doing this first will make the rest of the achievements easier:

On the Northwestern coast of the island, you'll find a Volleyball Court with two friends looking to play a game. Instead of Volleyball, they'll ask you to play the super new and super fun Stickball! You'll need to equip a stick before you can play (there's one on the court in case you haven't picked one up yet) but the concept of the game is simple. You and the other player will need to hit the ball back and forth without allowing it to touch the ground. While you're supposed to be cooperating, the other player tends to go a little wild here and there so be sure to spring (square.png) if you need to. 

When the two of you get 10 hits back and forth, you'll be rewarded a Golden Feather. 
When you two get 20 hits back and forth, you'll be rewarded with some money. 
When you two get 30 hits back and forth, you'll be rewarded a commemorative hat and the trophy will unlock (after some dialogue).
