You need to win six games in a row in Original Mode to unlock these achievements:

The 2 win(s) achievement in ACA NEOGEO SUPER SIDEKICKS worth 84 pointsYou won 2 time(s).

The 4 win(s) achievement in ACA NEOGEO SUPER SIDEKICKS worth 90 pointsYou won 4 time(s).

The 6 win(s) achievement in ACA NEOGEO SUPER SIDEKICKS worth 96 pointsYou won 6 time(s).

In the main menu, select Original Mode. It doesn't matter whether you choose the English or the Japanese version. Once the game loads, press

to go into settings. In the settings, set the difficulty to 1, which is the easiest level. Set the game timer to 30 seconds, and all other time to 0. Make sure that Continues are enabled.

Press

to exit. The game will restart to save the settings. At the main menu, spam

and

to "insert credits". You can do this at any time during the game, and as many times you like, to ensure that you've unlimited continues. Start the game.

Use a strong team like Argentina or Holland. Once the game begins, score a goal quickly to lead 1-0. With only 30 seconds on the clock, it should be the only goal of the game that makes you win the game 1-0. You should be able to do this until the 3rd or 4th game.

The game gets increasingly harder from the 4th game. It may be difficult to score a quick goal from now. Try to score one anyway. Even if you don't score, at least you're camped in the opponent's half to prevent them from scoring. The game will end in a 0-0 draw when both teams fail to score. Press

to continue, select "Penalties", and press

to get into the shoot-outs.

Penalties are luck-based. You aim either left, center or right, press

to shoot, and hope that the keeper doesn't save. When the opponent is shooting, you aim either left, center or right, press

to dive, and hope that your opponent shoots the ball towards your direction. Each team gets five chances to shoot, and the winner is determined by who scores more. If there's no winner after five shots each, it goes into sudden death. When you win the shoot-out, you'll progress into the next round, and be credited with one win towards the achievements.

If you lose the shoot-out, you can select continue to replay the shoot-out until you win.

Rinse and repeat until you win the 6th game, which is the semi-final of the SNK Cup.

To summarize:
- play a 30-second game, try to score one goal to win 1-0
- if you can't score, play to a 0-0 so that you go into penalties
- win the shoot-out to progress
- repeat until you win six games in a row

PS: You can also make an interrupt save after every successful penalty scored and saved. Exit to menu, and go back into Original Mode again if you fail, and you can retry from the exact saved point.

Hope these help. Have fun, and GOOOOAAAAL!

I don't believe the penalties are random. I just did 20 save and reload penalties and the comp saved ALL of them.

I second that penalties are a joke on the later teams there is basically no way of beating them. Nice guide tho

Nice guide - I found that using a save state at the start of each game was more useful than relying on PKs. If I got a man wide open I sometimes saved then for multiple tries at a rebound goal.

Yes the penalties on this are crazily bad. Once you’re in the fourth round you may as well give up if you’re on penalties. I just tried to win with a save state on 2-2 after four penalties each. I tried it maybe 50 times and missed my penalty every time and never saved theirs once.

There will be times when the game will always save your penalty, and you'd never save one. For these situations, just take the loss and continue. Other times, you can create a save, wait and see where the AI dives/ shoot, and then reload save to shoot/ save. It's the same for Super Sidekicks 2 and 3.

I had no issues completing all three, and have also completed the Win10 version without my hiccups. But I did spend hundreds of hours at the arcades on this series during my youth.

This game cheats.

The penalties (and the exact score) are already decided once you enter the shootout.
Just lay down the controller and let the game play itself. Either you win or not. It doesn't matter what you do, at all.
Also if you're up one goal after the 4th shot you already won, as the score won't ever tie on the fifth shot. The shootout also won't ever end before the fifth player of each team has taken a shot. Just more proof how everything is already decided before you even start to play.

Gerbasgamer is right. It’s already predetermined. No matter where you point when you reload, if you’re gonna miss your defense, you’re gonna miss it. The same goes for making goals as well. To test it I reloaded 3 times when I made it, pointing to where the goalie last blocked, and I made it every time.

Losing the PK gives you a higher chance to win it next time. Just put the controller down and don’t even sweat reloading your save. It’ll give you the win on its own eventually. This garbage was just a rigged coin eater. The OG pay to win lol.

Haha, winning 6 in a row was harder than I expected.

Using the 30 second games, twice I scored at 25 seconds left on the 6th game only to give up the equalizer goal, once with only 3 seconds left. I scored too quick and they went on the aggressive. Third time I scored with 21 seconds left and locked them down. Many failed attempts at 0-0 too.

Update - I found that a couple of the wide players for Holland were super fast and essentially when you cross your Ace is always in the middle and scores more often than not. I played to win but took the penalty losses if I lost on penalties. You can always press “continue”.

Actually, my feeling in the later stages is that the game was originally designed to take your money, so you’ll almost always lose your first penalty shoot-out until you pay for your credit to go in and get a second chance.
