Going for Gold (40G)
Earn a gold medal on each level

The once fully obtainable, then completely glitched achievement is now obtainable again.
You can also attain it through the "easy" versions of levels. The rest of the guide remains the same for the regular difficulty levels.

Since I first posted this guide, there has been many changes, from a little realigning to a whole set of video solutions, so be sure to check it all out. Also, the issue with PredatoryOrphan was solved, read bottom if interested. Negative voters please specify what the problem is, you can PM me or comment on this solution.

With the help and support of many people, this is now becoming a solution, which I will separate in three parts: TIPS, VIDEOS, and GOLD MEDAL TIMES.

TIPS:
-Try to get gold medals on each level one by one, so you get used to the obstacles in the level, making it easier to remember where to jump or slide, then move onto the next level.
-At the beginning of a level, you can boost your character by pressing LT or RT (boost button) and Left Stick to the right direction at the same time right before the sign says "Go," saving you a few milliseconds which might just take you to gold.
-BOOST as MUCH as you can! It is extremely important that you use it everytime you can. Remember that if you boost too long you fall, so everytime you jump let go of the trigger for your character to "rest" in the air and press it again right before you land to keep boosting. Also, the boost rests when you're sliding, regardless of you pressing it or not.
-You can restart from the last checkpoint easily by pressing Y if you're about to die, but remember the clock keeps ticking!
-If you're taking too long just restart the level with the "back" button.
-The "Areas" between checkpoints are only triggered when you enter it, so it's always gonna have the same pattern when you hit a checkpoint.
-When using trampolines aim at the center and press A when you hit it to achieve highest jumps.
-Use the sliding technique (left stick down on downward ramps) to get through the levels faster and through certain parts in which it is required to survive. It's also useful to use this to jump higher.
-Try to take the top routes, they're more often than not easier than the bottom ones.
-In the later levels, take your time on the first run, learn everything in each checkpoint and don't worry about time, then just keep trying it for the gold and you'll see your time lowering with each try.
-Monkey540 says: "I have a little trick to add to your list bud, for the hammer sections, the little hammers can be jumped over, and the large hammers can all be slid under. The large one trick helps alot, but mostly in USA 5 at the end, you can slide under 3, wait, then run for the end up the fan. (This is not shown in the video) This is also useful in USA level 4 with large hammers right at the end on an up and down slope, going up be cautious, then slide down the other half. (This one is shown in the video)"
-Last but not least, be PATIENT! I know you will have the urge to shout at the TV so many times, but do not lose your patience or you will see yourself falling or missing jumps much more often! Also, some of the later levels require you to wait just a few seconds before doing the jumps or runs, because the obstacles are arranged that way... so please people, be patient.

VIDEOS:
For those having trouble doing the levels by yourselves, https://www.trueachievements.com/Vspeed13.htm (YouTube IGN: Xboxitude) has made videos for the Gold Medals, and with his permission I am posting the link here, it is a playlist of videos very nicely put together by him in an easy to use format and good quality.
http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=F27520517998B846
As of today (December 10, 2010) the videos are FINISHED!
You can also check out the videos one by one at the bottom.

GOLD MEDAL TIMES:

USA
These levels are a piece of cake, you'll have almost no trouble with these, and they serve really well as practice.
Level 1 - Gold 0:45 - Safety First
Level 2 - Gold 1:05 - Learning the Ropes
Level 3 - Gold 1:15 - Jungle Gym Hijinx
Level 4 - Gold 1:25 - On the Rebound
Level 5 - Gold 1:20 - Nothing But Air

Europe
Now the game starts getting hard, the 5th level will be a pain, but just keep going with trial and error and remember, try not to lose your patience.
Level 1 - Gold 1:30 - Slip Slide Ride
Level 2 - Gold 1:20 - Conveyance
Level 3 - Gold 1:25 - Elevation
Level 4 - Gold 1:20 - Shaky Footing
Level 5 - Gold 1:55 - Swingin in the Rain

Japan
Now this one you will wish was a person so that you could smack them to death. It's all about memorizing where to jump, where to slide, and where to boost most. Remember to do trial runs first taking your time and getting to know the level, and do them one by one, try to finish one before you do the other or you might just confuse yourself. Don't shoot the TV on this one girls and boys, unless you really want to.
Level 1 - Gold 1:20 - Rebounding Again
Level 2 - Gold 1:15 - Domou Arigatou
Level 3 - Gold 1:45 - Peak Performance
Level 4 - Gold 1:45 - Muzukashii Wheel (try and do it at 1:40 for the other achievement)
Level 5 - Gold 1:35 - Get Carter (Thank you commenters for confirming)

Thanks for reading, good luck.
Thank you to all the people supporting this solution and to those voting positive.
P.S. If there's anything missing or if you would like me to add something please message or comment, and if you vote negative please comment on why.
Also, to those interested on the issue with PredatoryOrphan, please read the blog I wrote about it. Thanks.
Redodua's Blog
And to those who voted negative because of that issue, I would appreciate it if you reconsidered your vote, because even a manager took action on the guy you're defending.

Just a side note, I found it easier to work backwards after the first run through.
Starting at Japan 5 and going back made Japan 1 seem quite simple

By ObiOneiKenobi on 09 Dec 2010 09:14

For Japan level 5,Get Carter, the Gold time is 1.45

By on 09 Dec 2010 20:47

Thanks Oddworld!

By Redodua on 09 Dec 2010 20:53

Great guide!

By Master AO on 09 Dec 2010 22:48

The gold time is actually 1:35 for get carter, 1:45 is way too easy.

By Uzzbuz on 10 Dec 2010 02:57

Can you confirm it? I got Gold too soon and didn't get to see the time requirement, and everyone keeps saying one or the other.

By Redodua on 10 Dec 2010 02:59

Get Carter is 1:35. I just got 1:38 and only received silver.

By Park Diesel on 10 Dec 2010 05:03

i managed it in 1:25 so gold time is 1:35. for it to be 1:45 would be far too easy

By Dropkick Hope86 on 10 Dec 2010 08:11

Hey, I know there's already Videos in another solution, but i'm making some as well, care to put it in?

By PRI DarkArchon on 10 Dec 2010 14:39

Very nice videos, Vspeed13! Thanks for the permission I'll be sure to put them in! Thank you everyone else for confirming the gold medal for Get Carter.

By Redodua on 10 Dec 2010 15:03

Re-upping Japan 5 because it uploaded while I was at work and for some reason only shows 1:10, when there is supposed to be more to the video..

By PRI DarkArchon on 11 Dec 2010 01:03

Great guide, last achievement i need.

By Hyp3rNova NL on 11 Dec 2010 14:55

Deleted some comments where people are calling each other names, I will proceed to do the same thing on the other solution and then contact the people involved. I love it when people play nice...*sigh*

By Van Uden on 12 Dec 2010 10:57

Oh good, no hate messages there, sending PMs

By Van Uden on 12 Dec 2010 10:58

Good job on the guide and videos mate , definitely helped me on the one im stuck on

By I AAR0N I on 12 Dec 2010 14:24

Thanks for solving this issue Uden :)

By Redodua on 12 Dec 2010 14:27

I have to say I wish I did see the other guide because I have not clue what you're talking about and at this point it looks like you're complaining at nothing lol

Didn't see the other guide, but this one is very well written. I like to make my guides as simple to follow and as well written and detailed as I can so I know your point.

I did the same thing on an achievement for The Maw, but I never included videos....and no one ever complained to me when I took top spot.

Positive vote from me. All I have left is Japan. Did the rest myself with trial and error.

By Quarantane on 12 Dec 2010 17:54

Just finished this achievement, it was a bit tough in some spots but I managed to do it.

Only looked at the videos after to see if there were better ways to do them....in most cases there were

By Quarantane on 12 Dec 2010 23:40

Got the achievement! Big thanks to you and Vspeed13 for his great videos. Helped a lot with the commentary.

By Manifest95 on 13 Dec 2010 04:37

Thanks for letting my ratio drop.

By DGC BrotherHood on 13 Dec 2010 21:41

Yeah, I noticed the ratio dropped a lot, too, but we are all a gaming community, we're supposed to stick together and help each other. That's what this website is about.

By Redodua on 13 Dec 2010 21:58

This achievement ain't that hard at all... a lot of people are just overacting....

By BlakeREVENGE on 14 Dec 2010 01:50

Thanks for the videos! Europe 5 and Japan 2 caused some issues, but got it all in the end! =D

By crewdy#4923 on 14 Dec 2010 08:56

I am not looking forward to Europe 5 - has anyone got any hints for the bit at the end? I keep getting hit by the paintballs, it's driving me insane.

By Hurball on 14 Dec 2010 12:36

Well in the slide down when all the paintballs fall in order, if you can't make the jump from the slide to the next part (as shown in the video) then you can slide down and let a ball hit you on the ground, because I found it easier to recover from a ball hitting you on the floor than in the air, then you have a few seconds to jump to the next area before the next round of balls reaches you. Near the end try and be patient using the moving panel as cover. Hope this helps.

By Redodua on 14 Dec 2010 20:23

just before the end before the slide down, jump first left then right, duck then to the not moving one in the middle then jump up AFTER A BALL went past you then jump to the upper platform and WALK to the right of it so the two coming balls won't hit you OR jump over them, for the hard trampolines, just wait till they are all on an almost straight line, so wait for 2-3 seconds at the checkpoint, then left stick to the right and hold the 'a' button down so you WILL make it in one time across the tramps, GoodLuck almost drived me nuts

By lord verh on 14 Dec 2010 21:13

Cheers Redouda - I'd never even noticed that panel that covers you, I couldn't figure out the pattern of the paintballs at all, it made no sense, and that was just because of that panel! Really easy if you use it as cover. Hardest level for me was Japan 3, but otherwise not too bad, great videos in the solution.

By Hurball on 16 Dec 2010 10:50

Never seen a guide marked "New" with SO many votes.

For me Europe 5 was the hardest. I had finished Japan in reverse order and when I beat Japan 1 (which I thought was my final one) the achievement didn't pop. I was SO mad cause I thought it was glitched, went through and noticed I missed USA 3. That was a BREEZE, did it my first try and even though I messed up alot more than I should have I easily got gold, and even beat some of my friends.

By Quarantane on 16 Dec 2010 21:31

Makes me think "Why isn't there an award for votes over time?"

By Redodua on 17 Dec 2010 01:02

Thanks, this guide is amazing, possibly the most helpful guide on this site. Good work. :)

By SemanticV0id on 17 Dec 2010 20:32

this guide didn't say anything i didn't already know(other than the gold times) , but the hints and videos sure are helpful.
if you don't press Y as soon as you get hit and watch the dieing animation, you can't possibly win.
just 2 little things: you don't need to press LT and forward to do the boost at the beginning, that confused me, i would just say the "boost button" or "LT and RT" because you can boost with either of them. another thing is that i actually found the bottom routes easier than the top routes. You can know which one is better by looking at the difficulty of each one. There is an Europe level that has a sliding spot that doesn't seem like you could go through, but you can, and it saves you about 3-4 seconds. And i'm not sure which level but there's one in Japan that has a trampoline before a high spot, but if you manage to land on the edges and not press A on the trampoline, you jump low and can go through the faster passage. So yeah, other than those 2 things it's all perfect, thumbs up from me.

By Metakingkirby on 18 Dec 2010 22:57

Very good insight of my solution, I have to say. I mentioned that top routes are "more often than not" better, but this guide is to help people in general, and some people don't know some of these things... Thanks for the thumbs up!

By Redodua on 18 Dec 2010 23:16

The game is brand new.. of course the ratios are going to drop =P

Awesome free game, too. I tip my hat to Doritos for this one.

By Trivial Factor on 20 Dec 2010 05:22

I have a little trick to add to your list bud, for the hammer sections, the little hammers can be jumped over, and the large hammers can all be slid under. The large one trick helps alot, but mostly in USA 5 at the end, you can slide under 3, wait, then run for the end up the fan. (This is not shown in the video) This is also useful in USA level 4 with large hammers right at the end on an up and down slope, going up be cautious, then slide down the other half. (This one is shown in the video)

By Monkey540 on 21 Dec 2010 16:11

Another annoying achievement out the way. Thanks a lot for this guide =)
Only Social Climber to do now...

By Nevster08 on 23 Dec 2010 15:09

I haven't gotten the achievement yet, but this is an awesome guide! I like to run through a couple of times to learn the course, go on speed runs, and then come back here to see if there's a shortcut I missed. So far I've got gold on all the USA courses. Thanks so much!

By Radient Star on 23 Dec 2010 20:16

nice guide

By Niall Mc 96 on 01 Jan 2011 16:46

This is going to help me big time, the videos are awesome as well, thanx a lot, Redodua and VSpeed13

By mummy68 on 04 Jan 2011 12:21

For me Japan 3 was the hardest to do, Japan 4 and 5 was easy

Couldn't have done it without these videos, thanks!

By Jayour on 12 Jan 2011 01:03

O my god dude greatest guide ever I followed the videos and just unlocked the achievement. then I left the game running with the applause bc I desereved it for completing the game. positive vote

By THE IRISHMAN 35 on 08 Feb 2011 07:23

Brilliant guide, only needed help with 3 of the Japan levels and used the tips in the vid thanks.

By InsaneFlame on 11 Feb 2011 20:51

Great Legend Shemp Howard here to say great guide, and I enjoyed the guy in teh videos. Commentary not that bad from this guy.

By Shemp Howard on 12 Feb 2011 01:21

I am honored, Shemp, your guides are awesome, too. And I bet Vspeed13 would feel the same way.

By Redodua on 12 Feb 2011 02:27

The ratio for this dropped from 3.7 when I unlocked it to 2.8 as I'm writing this comment, but that means more people have it so it's overall a good thing :) means your guide is doing it's job

By Quarantane on 03 Mar 2011 18:53

Great guide..... could have saved me some time if I would have seen this before I got this achievement

By BormahTiid on 12 Mar 2011 20:08

pretty nice guide, finaly got myself time to go for this one, it's not that hard, but a FRUSTRATING achievement, good job on writting this one, it's a really complete guide.
positive vote. cheers

By EagleSyriuS on 20 Mar 2011 17:32

The worst course was Europe 5 for me! I though Japan 5 would be hard, but it was a breeze compared with Europe 5 >:-/

By L0Straniero91 on 21 Mar 2011 14:56

Awesome guide

By Avrexid on 06 Apr 2011 03:45

Without this guide i was screwed, Redodua i owe you one.

By Lord Azure on 07 Apr 2011 08:13

Just a thumbs up would be alright ;)

By Redodua on 07 Apr 2011 12:03

^this!

By Redodua on 13 Jul 2011 19:07

If I get over the time but it still gives me a 1 at the end of the level does it count or do i need to redo cuz in one of the usa i think vspeed got a little over but still got it

By TH3 z TruTH z on 16 Jul 2011 00:45

nvm just got148 achievment unlocked beautiful guide couldnt have done it without the guide thanks

I smashed two controllers over this game, I wish I was joking....

By XxSpazemxX on 29 Apr 2012 16:01

Easily the most frustrating game i have ever played, controls are dreadful and the level of acuracy needed is a joke, no wonder they had to give the flippin thing away

By Jennitiger1138 on 06 May 2012 11:43

Great guide for a bad game. Videos were very helpful.

By Daeryoon on 12 May 2012 02:13

Very good guides defiantly helped me with Europe 4 and 5 which were really the only ones I had trouble with. All of the Japan courses were very easy with Japan 1 actually be the hardest of them all and even though I left it till last on the japan section I still found it the hardest to complete.

By oDs I WoLFZz x on 07 Jun 2012 19:11

I defiantly thank you for your input.

By Redodua on 08 Jun 2012 00:40

Despite having watched the video, I think anything less than 2:00 for Europe 5 is impossible.

By iBishBashBosh x on 24 Jul 2012 15:16

This is really helpful, definitely a valuable cluster of information. Oh, and sorry to hear about the issue with the other gamer, I guess not everyone writes for the good of the community. +1

By AwakeDeadeye on 26 Sep 2012 16:47

It's not Super Meat Boy difficulty, but damn I am frustrated at the Japan levels... Only 3 left now.

Perfect solution, great vids always help!!

By MugenKairo on 01 Jan 2013 23:12

Great guide! Now that the DLC is out, you can now choose easy difficulty on the Japan levels. Can someone please confirm that this unlocks the achievement. Cheers!

By LightTheKnight on 02 Jan 2013 23:30

Good to know, Thanks :)

By LightTheKnight on 03 Jan 2013 15:37

I've tried deleting the update, the dlc and completing the time on easy and normal and nothing popped. Achievements is glitched and so is gold on all levels

By Kyotic GBaby on 04 Jan 2013 04:13

Oh god, are you guys serious? That sucks. Thanks for the info, I'll update the solution and look for ways to go around this situation.

By Redodua on 07 Jan 2013 17:40

I just unlocked the achievement! :) I only had the USA levels with all gold medals when I read about these problems people were having unlocking it so I deleted the DLC and the title update as well as clearing the system cache. Then I just did the rest of the levels offline declining the title update and when I finished my last level and got gold the cheevo popped. Be warned however I lost 2 gold medals from USA after I deleted everything so you may have to re do some of your gold medals doing it this way.

By ll Chief 23 ll on 09 Jan 2013 03:49

Hey everyone, I’d like to chime in with what I did to obtain the glitched achievements for now, until they patch this.

I started reading about the glitch after having obtained gold on all USA levels. By all accounts, it seems that the Title Update (not the DLC), is causing this glitch. So after reading about this, I went into the system and deleted the Title Update. I did NOT delete the whole game, the save file, the system cache or the DLC (still don’t have it yet, actually).

Then I UNPLUGGED my Xbox from the Internet (I use a wired connection because for me it is stronger than wireless). I played offline entirely. You can stay plugged in, just DECLINE the title update and play offline.

I then played through all the levels and, first, got a 1:33 on Japan Level 4, which popped the Sore wa kantan desu achievement, without any problems. I finally golded my last Japan level (that 3rd one was giving me problems!) and the Going For Gold popped without a problem as well.

I cannot confirm that the Title Update is 100% the problem, but I can confirm that having deleted that update, and then playing offline – not having golded all levels yet – the achievements popped for me without any problems.

If you have already golded all levels, I cannot really help. But you could try to delete the title update and see if any medals disappeared. If yes, replay those and the achievement should pop. If no medals disappeared, you can try deleting the save file and/or the cache. But I don’t know if that would erase all your medals… but would you rather have the medals, or get the achievement…?

Again, I can only confirm this works if you have not yet golded all levels. Delete that nasty Title Update and play offline!!

Good luck!!

By ShadyShall on 17 Jan 2013 15:39

Just downloaded the game today without DLC, played through the whole game before reading this solution and was under the assumption that I was screwed for the all gold. I stayed online, didn't delete any updates, and just played through normally trying for golds on every level. Sure enough, when I earned my last gold on Japan 5, the achievement unlocked. I didn't earn each medal in the correct order and broke it up into two different sittings.

Not sure if I'm just one of the lucky ones, or if not having the DLC downloaded at all is the safe way to pull this one off. I'd assume if it was a title update issue, then even people without the DLC would have the problem as well, but it seems as if this isn't the case here. I might just be an exception, but I figured the info might help anyway.

Either way, I hope it gets patched soon for those who have had it glitch on them. It looks as if there's a patch in the works, so that looks good at least.

By on 18 Jan 2013 13:14

I hope they patch this - I really want the dlc but I'm not getting it until they sort this out...
Has anyone messaged the developers?

By pezza888 on 27 Jan 2013 23:11

You can complete the main game, and then download and complete the DLC afterwards. Each one can be individually completed (core + DLC)

By Redodua on 28 Jan 2013 17:39

I believe I may have a concrete answer to what's going on with these glitched achievements. I don't believe it necessarily has to do with downloading the DLC or any updates. What breaks the old achievements is having the new achievements on your gamercard. Here is my experience, which I relayed in an email to Richard Leibowitz at Behavior on Jan. 28. I have yet to receive a response.

I had all but 2 achievements for the core game: Going for Gold and Sore wa kantan desu. I downloaded the DLC and won all 3 new achievements which were showing on my gamercard (now 13 of 15). I started reading about the glitch and realized I was probably fuct.

The DLC was downloaded on a newer xbox after I re-downloaded the core game. I had the core game on an older xbox that had not been connected to live for quite a while. My gamercard only showed the original 8 of 10 achievements on this xbox. I was able to complete Japan 4 under 1:40 on this xbox and the Sore wa kantan desu achievement popped. I then stupidly connected to live after which, my gamer card on the older xbox updated and was now showing 14 of 15 achievements for the game.

At that point I didn't realize what I had done. I assumed that the glitch was tied to the game and/or the DLC so I made a point not to start the game while connected. I then disconnected and when about getting gold on all the levels, but it was too late...that achievement did not pop.

So it seems that once the new achievements are showing on your gamer card then it's too late. If you have gotten any of the new achievements, but have another xbox with the game that hasn't been connected to live since getting those achievement, then you should be able to get any of the old achievements. Just don't connect to live until you get them all!!!

Here's to hoping that my mistake can help somebody get these achievements. I just hope they can fix this game, but I'm not holding my breath...

By IamtheNaz on 05 Feb 2013 18:56

this sucks need help.... i just bought the dlc and finally i got all gold medals nothing popped ..i did japan on regular not easy. it wont show gold on the new dlc for some reason im in first but no medals?? anyway i can get this fixed plz help last achievement left.. i finally freakin got gold after like yrs of trying i did it it wasnt easy.. help

By BigChris2118 on 20 Feb 2013 06:15

i believe the new achievements screw this up i dint have the medal achievement i bought city lights got all 3 new achievos i finally beat all medals on gold after breaking a few controllers out of frustration now i was hyped beat the final japan level then nothing... fing pissed but the other guy is right the achievements are new it doesnt reconize the old one... thanx let me know if any 1 had he same issue just letting u know wat happened to me. not a solution...give feedback plz help

By BigChris2118 on 20 Feb 2013 06:27

Delete the DLC and clear your cache, then try again. You might lose some gold medals but it's better than starting from scratch.

By Redodua on 21 Feb 2013 18:31

That doesn't work. If you already have the new achievements unlocked on your gamercard, the other ones won't unlock.
I wish there would be an easy solution like that but as of now there isn't.

By SirLugash on 08 Mar 2013 22:25

Also playing on a new console doesnt work either.

By THEE G0NZ on 13 Apr 2013 15:38

I haven't played since the patch. I didn't download the title update or the dlc, and played offline. I didn't get the achievement. So, I don't know what to do except cry.

By Trombonafide on 25 Apr 2013 15:50

UPDATE: I deleted my save file and downloaded the game again. It saved all my gold medals except for USA 1 and 2. Gold medaled them, it popped. So if you never downloaded the DLC, the Title Update is NOT the issue.

By Trombonafide on 25 Apr 2013 20:27

Trombonafide ill have to try that but I have had no luck with any method. :'(

By Kyotic GBaby on 25 Apr 2013 20:32

I got the achievements on my GFs account which hasnt been connected to live in about a year. It was offline NO title update and NO dlc downloaded and cache was cleared
the achievements said 2/12. I also got Sore wa kantan desu. Ive tried all methods on my account and nothing so hopefully it gets fixed.

This game sucks so bad man I can't unlock the last two achievements and now they took it off the marketplace.

By THEE G0NZ on 09 May 2013 20:27

there is no glitch downloaded DLC/Title update there is still no problem, it is the babies that think you can get it by doing Japan easy are the ones saying that it is glitched

By qDirtyBryanp on 10 May 2013 19:12

^ok moron the whole community has been playing Japan-Easy do some research before you talk.

But DLC has been taking off XLBA along with the game itself. It is unknown if they are gone forever or there is a patch coming. As for a patch I did not recieve the achievements and i have the dlc downloaded.

By Kyotic GBaby on 10 May 2013 19:38

@AAxAssassinxJFK moron x2

By THEE G0NZ on 14 May 2013 13:15

DLC is now back up on Live but it's looking as though none of the bugs/glitches have actually been fixed >.<

By Han D Maiden on 24 May 2013 12:14

@Rakkman Forever That's disheartening. So even if I get the DLC, there's no way I can 100% this game still?

By IRONSAM96 on 24 May 2013 14:52

game+dlc is back on.. bought the dlc instantly because who knows how long it stays up.. and i rather have 1 achieve not unlocked then 4 :P so i hope that all golden achievement will be fixed and im sure we can found out here if there is any more info !? :)

By FuzzedUpCookie on 24 May 2013 15:14

Can you do it with Japan easy?

By monkeyboy3009 on 25 May 2013 15:09

I emailed Behavior about whether or not Going for Gold is supposed to be able to be gotten from Japan-Easy levels and they replied "The upcoming patch will allow getting that achievement from Japan Easy levels." so if people who are having trouble with Japan wait a while a patch will come allowing them to complete this on the easy levels.

By Chevelle#9698 on 29 May 2013 11:39

i hope this patch will be released soon then :) thanks for the info.. i tweeted them (i think, never use tw(sh)itter but got no response from them regarding a patch or anything....

so i hope your right and we all be able to complete it with easy japan :)

By FuzzedUpCookie on 29 May 2013 15:32

Hi Robert!
Thanks for your email! We appreciate! The patch is going through certification and should be live in the following weeks.. We will keep you posted!

By Risening on 12 Jun 2013 01:10

^this.. lets hope so :)

By FuzzedUpCookie on 12 Jun 2013 04:14

Nearly 2 months later and the patch hasn't gone live.

By firehazardcs on 03 Aug 2013 18:49

I received an email to day from Behaviour and they told me that the patch, that is supposed to fix the glitched achievements, was released saturday.
I checked it out and it seems like this is true.
I just unlocked the "Sore wa kantan desu" achievement (I had hit the target time a while ago when it was glitched, now I just passed the level with bronze and it popped).
Going For Gold should be fixed as well, I'll try it out.

By SirLugash on 19 Aug 2013 20:18

wow! it actually got fixed!! how the Going for Gold works again too! :O

By FuzzedUpCookie on 19 Aug 2013 20:57

And I got Going For Gold.
I can confirm that the latest Title Update makes the glitched achievements obtainable again!

By SirLugash on 19 Aug 2013 22:10

Argh i'm so happy they finally fixed this! I honestly didn't think they'd bother!

By Han D Maiden on 22 Aug 2013 11:53

@J4CKA1, just the original 3. After the patch, I finished getting golds on Las Vegas and Europe (had golds on Japan - Easy and USA, not in London), and it popped after my last gold medal in Europe.

By theshadow on 26 Aug 2013 22:52

I AM SO HAPPY THIS IS FIXED :)

By MegsonGrove on 11 Nov 2013 18:01

Does the Easy Japan Levels count if i gold them?

By Reefer420ATK on 23 Jan 2014 17:43

yes they do.. only original japan level i gold-ed was the the one for the timed achievement.. for the rest all bronze or even no medal XD
just do the easy japan ones for the 'going for gold' cheevo ;)

By FuzzedUpCookie on 23 Jan 2014 19:35

Im so happy i got this done a while ago

By jimmyclutchman on 16 Mar 2014 13:38

I'm confused after the last patch someone said they did not even obtain medals on easy Japan just merely completed it? So do u only need to gold USA and Europe and complete Japan on easy ?

By MC PHILABUSTA on 09 May 2014 05:30

Gold on USA + Europe + Easy Japan = Achievement "Going for Gold" ;)

By FuzzedUpCookie on 09 May 2014 10:17

hmmmm but i thought you said you only got gold in one level of japan? and got bronze for the rest? sorry for the confusion :)

By MC PHILABUSTA on 09 May 2014 20:53

the only level i got gold on in normal japan is the one for the timed achievement:

The Sore wa kantan desu achievement in Doritos Crash Course worth 32 pointsFinish Japan level 4 with a time of 1:40 or better

golded all easy japan levels for the Going for Gold achievement

By FuzzedUpCookie on 09 May 2014 22:30

Thanks for this! Video s helped alot

By mcnuggests on 05 Dec 2016 19:35

FINALLY! Since the patch, I had to redo every level. My Best times (all gold) were still listed on the leaderboards, but not on the level select screen. I had to redo every level, and I did easy Japan, and the achievement popped, finally, 6 years later. 2/11/2017. +1

By GremlinLord615 on 13 Feb 2017 10:25

I got it! Congrats to the people who didn’t do Japan-Easy!
Europe 5 and Japan 3 have me the most trouble.

By TromboneGuy360 on 17 Jul 2018 16:07

I don't know if my TV or controller would have survived the night if I didn't find out about Japan-Easy.

By Corymonster1 on 05 Dec 2019 02:52

I just finished this one off and wow, what a monster. I did whatever the standard difficulties are because I never saw any way to change it. I totally agree about Japan 3, I actually did Get Carter first to get it out of the way assuming it would be the hardest as the king daddy final test and japan 3 just blew it away.

It’s actually good though since if I had done Japan 3 first I might have concluded that Get Carter was surely impossible and given up, lol.

By AKA Ram Kadyrov on 06 Nov 2020 07:25

After a couple years of not playing this, I decided to come back and get all the achievements and I was honestly really happy with how well I got this one. I struggled quite a bit on Europe 5 and a bit on Easy-Japan 5 but I surprisingly got Easy-Japan 3 pretty quickly and got most of the others in my first few tries. I really got into my groove and surprised myself. Congrats to people who didn’t do Easy-Japan because I wouldn’t be able to do this without it!

By Kysonftw1 on 22 Nov 2020 05:15

I swear Europe is the hardest! It was harder than USA and Japan!

By HungryNic42 on 14 Dec 2020 05:33

God damn Europe 5 was a nightmare but I got the game done with all gold, thank god for Japan Easy,

By on 18 Dec 2020 12:15

Really need to update the link to that playlist, here it is. (Since your link just goes to the YouTube homepage for some reason)

By Crater Bob on 01 Aug 2021 05:09

This is still doable with Japan-Easy

By Friggin Grease on 23 May 2022 02:41

Only drama I know of with doritos is the one that gets stuck in your teeth. What the fuck was going on here?

Also you should put the videos in spoilers and label them, at least group them by country. Takes up a lot of room and makes it less friendly for mobile.

By sobadnomad on 24 Jan 2023 01:06

After many years of trying on and off I finished Europe. Whoever designed these levels should be arrested.
Time to finish Japan Easy and be done with this trash heap.

By Lvx on 29 Jan 2024 21:38

FYI you can combine levels for this. I got Gold on Japan 4 for the 1:40 achievement and then Gold on the other 4 Japan-Easy levels and it unlocked.

Thanks for the videos, they really helped.

By Lvx on 30 Jan 2024 13:07

Designers for the Europe levels are absolutely psychopaths, Europe 5 is impossible so much luck needed to even have a shot at gold

UPDATE: THIS IS NOW PATCHED AS OF 8/19/2013! NO LONGER GLITCHED! Also, I will confirm that getting all gold on the "Easy Japan" levels is a sufficient substitute to getting all gold on the original Japan levels.

[ORIGINAL SOLUTION]:

WARNING: THE DLC AND/OR TITLE UPDATE GLITCHES THIS ACHIEVEMENT!

This solution is not a substitute for the great solution above by Redodua, but rather a warning and discussion on how to obtain this achievement after 1/3/13, when the title update & DLC came out.

With the addition of the DLC, it was announced that easier versions of the Japan levels would be introduced, specifically with making this achievement easier as one of its features. Unfortunately, I can confirm that getting gold on all of these does NOT unlock the achievement. I have gold on all of USA and Europe, and when I finished gold on easy Japan, nothing popped.

Additionally, xAlpha Q Upx69 has posted below that they earned gold on all of the original levels after installing the DLC, and nothing popped for them either, AND earned gold on all the DLC levels - still nothing popped. It would be wise to earn this achievement before buying the DLC, or uninstall the DLC before earning your last gold on the original levels to hopefully avert this issue. Posts below further detailing this would be appreciated. [Update: I PM'd JD iz Skiilzz, who won the achievement after the patch. He said he did download the game update, but did not download the DLC. You may be in luck if you simply haven't installed the DLC yet].

You may need to delete all your game data in this game and not download the DLC in order to earn this achievement if you've already downloaded the DLC, although people have reported on the x360a forums that they have tried this with no luck. You can find a good discussion on this achievement at http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=41... . It may be that the title update messed this up, in which case you can try deleting everything, re-download the game without the DLC, declining the title update, and earning gold on everything offline. This achievement doesn't have to be online, so I see no reason why that shouldn't work. If anyone has tried this, please post the results below.

If you would like to contact the developer to try and get them to fix this, you can reach them at:

email: pr@bhvr.com
Twitter: https://twitter.com/behaviour

If enough of us complain, they are more likely to do something about it. A copy of the e-mail I sent them is as follows (please don't just copy/paste it, as they will probably think it's from the same person - come up with something original, thanks):

Hello,

I am writing to inform you that on your recent game update and DLC release for the Xbox 360 game Doritos Crash Course, either the update or the DLC (or both) have inadvertently made some of the original game achievements no longer work (i.e., after you complete the requirements, they are no longer awarded).

This is particularly troubling because your announcement for the DLC states:

Winner of the Unlock Xbox competition and with over 3.5 million worldwide downloads, Doritos Crash Course returns with new level pack featuring 10 new courses filled with unique challenges and puzzles. Bounce above the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas and sprint through the historic sights of London to prove once more, who is the fastest in the world’s leaderboards. As well as new achievements for even more gamerscore, we also include new versions of the Japan levels so you get even more chance to unlock all the achievements. We’d like to thank you, the community, for helping make Doritos Crash Course into an XBLA phenomenon.

(emphasis added) [I bolded a portion above, but can't do bold is solutions].

You state one of the features of the DLC is to make the achievements easier (presumably "Going for Gold" and "Sore we kantan desu") and when we buy the DLC, not only do we not get what was promised, but now those of us who go back and meet the ORIGINAL requirements aren't even awarded the achievements.

This is not an isolated incident. Nobody has reported winning either of these achievements after your title update and DLC was released. You can find discussions on this issue at:

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/forum/showthread.php?t=41...

and

Solution for Going for Gold In Doritos Crash Course

Which show that many people are facing these same issues. While something like an achievement not unlocking when it should may seem like a minor issue, there are achievement community websites such as the ones linked above that consider this a big deal. Some companies release patches to fix bugs like these, while others ignore them. Members of these achievement communities take note of the companies that are proactive on issues like these vs. the companies that are not, and some even boycott the ones that do not take action.

Any action to rectify this, or any information on a work-around to allow the achievements to unlock, would be much appreciated. Before suggesting something like "delete the game and reinstall it", please actually read the threads linked above, as you will see that the community has exhausted almost every option to try and get these achievements to work since 1/3/13.

I personally have been affected by this as I have all gold on USA, Europe, and Easy Japan, and no achievement has unlocked. You can verify this by looking up my gamertag on your leaderboards. My gamertag is VegaDark541.

Thank you for your time and I hope the achievement communities will be able to add your company to the "good" list of companies that fix achievement issues.

Did you check that all of your Gold Medals are still counting?
I lost a few due to the update or something. My leaderboard times are still there but no medals on the left hand side.

By TATZ DC on 03 Jan 2013 16:53

I lost medals from USA 1 and 2, which I easily re-gained gold on. Everything else is showing up as a gold medal on the left hand side. Posts are welcome from anyone who has the DLC who has gotten this achievement post-DLC to see what the deal is.

By VegaDark541 on 03 Jan 2013 20:32

I lost USA 1 and 2 as well. No luck getting gold on all easy japan mission and still not unlocked this achievement....

It should do though. It is stated in the description released when it was announced!

By Reabo on 03 Jan 2013 21:47

I have gotten GOLD on all levels as of today except for the DLC ones. No achievement! Do i now need to get GOLD on all DLC??!

By CIutch Corey on 03 Jan 2013 22:44

That's really annoying and was one of my fears as well. Who knows if that will even solve it - we may have to uninstall the DLC if that's the case. Can you try uninstalling the DLC and re-gaining a gold medal to see if that works to pop it?

By VegaDark541 on 03 Jan 2013 23:23

@VegaDark541 No luck.. I uninstalled the update as well as the DLC and got gold on a level offline. I then downloaded the update (not the DLC) did it while connected to live and once again no luck.

By CIutch Corey on 03 Jan 2013 23:38

The only possibilities left are:
A) It's glitched (Wait for a patch/update)
B) You need gold on all the DLC levels as well now

By CIutch Corey on 03 Jan 2013 23:51

I wonder if someone uninstalls the DLC, then gets gold for the first time on a level they still need, if it will still pop (as opposed to getting gold again on a level they already have gold on). I have 2 regular Japan levels still to beat, unfortunately getting gold on those last two is easier said than done.

By VegaDark541 on 04 Jan 2013 00:27

I lost alot of my gold medals and times as well. I also got 1:38 on level 4 Japan easy and didn't unlock the timed achievement. Hopefully this gets worked out same reports are being posted on x360a

By Homunculus Fury on 04 Jan 2013 00:47

I've tried deleting the update, the dlc and completing the time on easy and normal and nothing popped. Achievements is glitched and so is gold on all levels

By Kyotic GBaby on 04 Jan 2013 04:12

@VegaDark541 I can OFFICIALLY confirm that it's glitched. Iv'e got GOLD on all levels including the DLC. Still no achievement! Please credit! Took a while to do everything gold..

By CIutch Corey on 04 Jan 2013 04:34

Same here :'(

By H4TS MAX on 04 Jan 2013 10:43

Man I've just paid 160msp is make 2 unobtainable achievements. I hope they fix this...

By Reabo on 04 Jan 2013 11:07

Soooo... I shouldn't buy the dlc yet then...

By pezza888 on 04 Jan 2013 12:49

It might be the title update. Just a heads up

By Kyotic GBaby on 04 Jan 2013 14:07

Is there a good way to contact them? If enough of us complain they may fix the problem.

By VegaDark541 on 04 Jan 2013 18:45

I sent an email to pr@bhvr.com found it on the BEhaviour site. No response yet but it was sent late last night.

By Homunculus Fury on 04 Jan 2013 20:22

Really hope they patch this soon.. Cant stand the 14/15 achievements on my gamer card -.-

By CIutch Corey on 04 Jan 2013 21:59

I have an xbox that has never installed this game, and I've never gotten gold on 2 of the original Japan levels. I'm wondering if installing the game on that without the DLC and getting gold on everything would unlock it.

By VegaDark541 on 05 Jan 2013 00:32

I was going to try that myself on same Xbox different tag.

By Homunculus Fury on 05 Jan 2013 00:36

Balls. I started the game and got the Party Popper achievement before I saw this. Thanks for the warning, shame I didn't see it sooner. I have bother USA 1 and 2 without gold because of the DLC too.

By Pyro1099 on 05 Jan 2013 21:32

Hey guys.

I might have found a way to unlock these glitched achievements.
I say "might have" because I belive I accomplished to get the correct preconditions to unlock them, which is beginning a new game without DLC/Title update.

A little foreword here:
What I believe to be the real problem is that the savegame for this game, after installing Title Update/DLC, screws the achievement unlocking mechanism (due to added medals and easy Japan levels).
Therefore was my idea to uninstall the Title Update and DLC and try to get a fresh game going with no stats (like you have never played before).
Unfortunately, your stats seem to be saved in in your Xbox profile.
Even after uninstalling and starting the game offline, my stats were still present in the game.
But there is a method to bypass this.

The bad news about this: You will have to get through the whole game again (since you pretty much begin a new game) and do it in one sitting. Why is explained further below.

Disclaimer:
#1 This method will be quite time consuming.
I did not test it myself due to lack of time and patience, but it should unlock the achievements (no promise though).

#2 This workaround uses the "Remove-USB-Drive-While-Data-Is-Loaded"-Method.
Removing the USB drive while it's being accessed might not be the best treatment for it and could possibly damage it.
Therefore you are acting on your own risk.

-----

So here it is:

0. You will need an Xbox configured USB drive for this.

1. Delete the Title Update and DLC and delete or backup you game progression save file.
Note: If you re-download the game, the Title Update will be downloaded as well automatically.
You won't see it in active downloads, but you will find it on your storage device.

1b. Clear the System Cache (though I believe it isn't necessary, just to be sure).

2. The only thing related to Doritos Crash Course on your storage device should be the arcade game, nothing more.

3. Move your Xbox profile to the USB drive.

4. Start the game and do not accept the game update.

5. On the "splash screen" (where you have to press A to continue), remove the USB drive right before pressing "A".

If you did it correctly, a message will appear that the game couldn't load your profile's settings, game progress and achievements.

6. You will notice that you only unlocked the first two USA levels, so you basically started a new game.
Unlocking the achievements should be possible at this point.
Before you go ahead and play, reinsert the USB drive.

-----

Now to the bad "Play thorugh the game in one sitting" part.
If you complete one of the first two levels and head back to the main menu afterwards, the game will tell you that it's saving, but as a matter of fact, it is not.
If you finish another level, there won't be any "Saving" message (my best guess is that the game tried to save your game stats the first time but fails and doesn't try it again).
Also, if you go to the dashboard and start the game regularly, your stats will be as they were before and your progress therefore glitched again.

So the only way would be to get all the gold medals in one sitting.

But as I already said, I haven't tried it myself yet and can't promise that it works.
Unless someone else (or myself at a later time) tries it and confirms it, it's just a theory.

Or we just wait and see whether it gets patched ;-)

By SirLugash on 06 Jan 2013 14:12

Ok apparently this method isn't working either, someone at x360a.org tried it.

By SirLugash on 07 Jan 2013 01:58

I've emailed Behaviour through their website, and got the following answer:

I'm sorry you're experiencing some problems. We're working diligently to resolve those problems and hope to release a patch soon.

Thanks for the info, I did not receive a response to my e-mail yet.

By VegaDark541 on 07 Jan 2013 20:35

Nevertheless, I think that everybody having this problem should email Behaviour, so it'll get solved asap.

By Firing Dutchman on 08 Jan 2013 10:31

So this is officially fried for everyone? Not just those with the DLC?

By Torhu Hybrid on 15 Jan 2013 12:27

Any news on when a 'fix' is coming? Didn't they say they would resolve it asap, or have they just gave up/lost interest? Damn, Its really frustrating. -.-

By CIutch Corey on 02 Feb 2013 08:29

Anyone know for sure if the the title update actually messes up those cheevos? I don't have the DLC and was wondering if anyone has tried with the update and has a concrete answer because from what I've read, everyone that has this problem bought the DLC...

By gbischel on 02 Feb 2013 12:06

A friend of mine obtained the "Sore wa kantan desu" achievement while having the title update installed but not the DLC.

Also, their Twitter linked to this: http://playxbla.com/having-problems-with-a-few-doritos-crash...

In here they claim that in order to unlock the achievements, you would need to play the Japan levels in their original difficulty setting.
But that doesn't work as I tried it that way in the first place.

By SirLugash on 02 Feb 2013 17:54

I attempted to use my cloud save on another console that did not have the title update or the DLC. My golds were still there but re-golding a few levels did not result in getting the achievement.

I was not able to beat any previous scores.

I have gotten all the DLC achievements on the other console.

By CanaDa Fwend on 03 Feb 2013 19:06

By IamtheNaz on 05 Feb 2013 18:55

I had the problem before play the new areas and getting any new achievements. I tried playing the easy japan levels first, then went for 1:40 before getting any new achievements and it was glitched. Simply playing any new dlc levels, achievements or not, will glitch the game.

By Fuzzmeister J on 06 Feb 2013 21:52

Any patch/fix announced yet? This is really getting annoying :l

By CIutch Corey on 12 Feb 2013 22:38

Not to my knowledge. I assume that if you install the game on a fresh xbox, never install the DLC or the title update, and play offline you can still pop this, however.

By VegaDark541 on 13 Feb 2013 01:09

If only i had another Xbox :l damn .. Well i just noticed they announced a Doritos Crash Course 2. Maybe they should be focusing on patches, like this 'Going for Gold' one before making another crap game ..

By CIutch Corey on 17 Feb 2013 09:33

I unlocked 'Sore wa kantan desu' on another console after it glitched on my 1st console. Now I'm going for all medals on gold, keep you all posted

By Firing Dutchman on 24 Feb 2013 13:28

@Firing Dutchman what did you do? did you play offline and not download the update?

By THEE G0NZ on 13 Apr 2013 15:42

I got this achievement online today. I did install the title update prior to starting the game the first time. The new achievements did show up on my gamercard. However, I did not download the DLC pack or play any of the easy Japan levels prior to getting the achievement.

By ArchBehemoth08 on 29 Apr 2013 09:09

you got the achievement? because i'm fucked! the thing is I already have all the levels on gold! and my achievement doesnt pop! maybe you could unloacked because you did'nt have all the levels on gold! right? xD

By Draxler Knight7 on 30 Apr 2013 03:03

i too was unable to get the all gold an sore wa kantan desu achievements after installing the DLC so i e-mailed behaviour and just got the following response:

We have good news for you!

A patch is being developed. For now, it’s going though an intense QA process… so stay tuned for the released date!

Have a good day,

fingers crossed the patch will be released soon.

By z 4assed monkey on 06 May 2013 10:02

Must be a new feature.

By VegaDark541 on 07 May 2013 00:37

Tbh I don't think they will release a patch as number 2 is out now and they have took this game off the dashboard so its not likely.

By THEE G0NZ on 09 May 2013 21:39

5/10/13: I can confirm that if you have no achievements in the DLC, simply deleting the title update (from the hard drive), no clearing of caches necessary, and NOT having the DLC downloaded will allow you to get the achievement for all golds (offline unfortunately).

By ReaganStein on 10 May 2013 05:40

@reaganstein: after 2 years i decided to go back and i didnt bought the dlc and declined the update, so went offline automaticly.. ive unlocked the japan 4 level under 1:40 achieve.. but when i look in my games list is still says 10 / 12 but when i open the page to see all achieves it says 11 / 12 unlocked (only missing the 'all gold' one) same goes for xbox.com, is also says not unlocked when i clearly have.. (and yes i reconnected to live auto. when i went back to the dashboard to 'sync' my achieves on xbox.com)

anyone knows what this crap is ?? -_- :P

By FuzzedUpCookie on 10 May 2013 09:13

DLC has been taking off XLBA along with the game itself. It is unknown if they are gone forever or there is a patch coming. As for a patch I did not recieve the achievements and i have the dlc downloaded.

By Kyotic GBaby on 10 May 2013 19:34

update:

i have accepted the TU but not downloaded the DLC yet..
now my 1:40min achieve is synced to xbox.com, hope the all is gold achieve still works after updating the game (japan has 2 choices: japan and easy-japan :)

@iAMxYUNGxGxBABY: the DLC was still on xbox.com an hour or 10 ago, but thanks for this sad info :O dafuq m$ DAFUQ are you doing, now 100% is never possible orwhat !? -_-

By FuzzedUpCookie on 10 May 2013 20:03

@pitbull it might still be there but I couldn't find it. Not even on the in-game downloads

i cant find it either on console mp, xbox.com mp or ingame mp
there is still the 'trail' version of the dlc up at all places but idk if that unlocks the dlc achieves and/or glitches the original achieves :P

Ya I was being optimistic and hoping for a patch and the DLC is only 4 months old. Hopefully something will be said soon

By Kyotic GBaby on 10 May 2013 20:18

Seeing as the game and DLC have now both been removed from the marketplace I guess all hope of them bothering to fix this just flew out the window :-/

By Han D Maiden on 10 May 2013 21:18

I was worried too about the fact, that the game including DLC were removed from the marketplace, but today I received this email from Behaviour:

Hi ***

We already created a patch for these issues, which is in QA at the moment.

Given the current workload on the QA and certification teams you can expect this to be released in the following weeks!

We will keep you updated on our social networks!

Note that this response was for my email from May 12th 2013 in which I also pointed at the removal of the game.

So it doesn't seem that bad right now and I hope the patch will come soon.

@SirLugash The game reappeared on the Marketplace today. However, there doesn't seem to be any fix for the "Going for the Gold" achievement. Disheartening, to say the least, if true. So much for QA.

Success, I got this and the under 1:40 to unlock today after I played and had won all the DLC achievements.

Here's my story, I first played the game before Christmas and got all bar the under 1:40 and all gold achievements putting me at 10/12.

I didn't touch it until I saw the TA post about the main game being de-listed, I fired it up then and got the title updated, looked for the full DLC but by that time the DLC had also been de-listed.

All the same I downloaded the demo and played the free 5mins, then put it down again.

Yesterday 24th May 2013, I saw a friend unlock the DLC achievements, so downloaded the full DLC pack.

I played the DLC this morning and got all those achievements.

I then tried level 4 on Japan-Easy and beat 1:40 but no achievement. I then tried the normal Japan level 4, got under 1:40 and got my achievement... with a time stamp as I was online.

That's when I looked at this thread regarding the all gold and the potential glitches.

Wondering how to go about it and as luckily I have multiple Xboxes and profiles, I signed out, downloaded the full game to another xbox under an alternative profile, then disconnected from live.

As I hadn't played on my other xbox today, that still had me down as 10/12 achievements and also no save game.

Still disconnected I fired up the game and went through getting all gold's offline and the achievement popped, but I was still a bit dubious.

I thought about saving the game to a usb and looked to move it and the title update was showing in with the game and my save game, it didn't copy it in the end.

I reconnected to live and sure enough there was a bit of syncing trouble, it was showing as popped but nothing on xbox.com.

Basically I thought I was screwed so thought sod it I'll try firing the game up on the 2nd console with my main profile.

Sure enough all my Japan gold times were showing , but the first 2 USA had gone again, I played the 2nd level, then for some reason decided to look at my achievements and it looked like the syncing issue had gone.

I checked on xbox.com and sure enough I now have the achievement unlocked, all be it without a time stamp, but hey a completion is a completion in my eyes.

It may well be that the re-release of the DLC this time includes a patch, as I was able to get the under 1:40 achievement after getting all DLC achievements and being online, further up this thread that wasn't possible.

Who knows, but hopefully this may help someone out there

I was able to get this AFTER playing the DLC and even unlocking the Party Pooper achievement earlier. A couple of days ago, I downloaded DCC and the DLC for the first time and messed around with it for a few minutes before going to work, unlocking a few achievements including the Party Pooper. Later, while at work, I came across this page and thought "Uh-Oh?"...

Luckily I had a second XBOX that I had not logged onto in a while. Using a second Gold account on this XBOX, I downloaded the game and then took that XBOX offline. I then logged into the second XBOX with my primary account(offline to keep myself hidden) and beat all the courses in one sitting.

Then I logged onto XBOX live on the second XBOX and on my profile, this achievement along with the others I had popped during this session were "merged" into the ones I had gotten the other day.

I know this probably wont help most people because the don't have access to a second XBOX with an old version of their gamertag on it, but if you have that scenario, I can confirm it works.

Hopefully, they will just release the patch soon and everybody who has earned this will finally get it.

Thought I would add that I originally downloaded the dlc but then came across this page.

Luckily I had not played any of the dlc courses so deleted the dlc from my hard drive and carried on as normal going for the gold times and I had no trouble unlocking it.

So it seems to be that it is when you play the dlc it may glitch as I still had the latest TU downloaded.

By AHs Chaozz on 22 Jun 2013 12:30

Alright, I give up on waiting for a patch..

By CIutch Corey on 26 Jun 2013 05:21

Awesome news! I will load the game up and see if this pops, and update the solution if I can confirm.

By VegaDark541 on 19 Aug 2013 22:41

Confirmed! Downloaded the update, played Japan easy 1 and beat it (with a non-gold time), and the achievement popped. Updating the solution now!

greetings to all here is my vidéo guide for Doritos crash course for Going for Gold

Earn a gold medal on Each level (40G)

Thank you

For this achievement, you have to earn a Gold Medal in each and every level in the game (USA, Europe, and Japan). You don't need to watch a video for the majority of the USA levels, but in the later levels (Europe and Japan) come much harder as you progress. To learn how to complete levels quicker, go on this website called Speedrun.com where players submit video evidence for completing levels and games in the fastest time possible. The link for the Speedrun.com page for this game is at https://www.speedrun.com/doritoscc.

For the Japan levels, I recommend doing this with the Japan-Easy levels after you bought the City Lights DLC. Speaking of the DLC, you don't need to do the Las Vegas and London levels while going for this achievement.

Before going for gold on every single level, i would suggest playing through each level several times to learn how each level is laid out. If you become stuck on a level just practice it until you know what is coming and how to pass each obstacle with ease. A list of gold medal times is below.

USA
Level 1 - Safety First - 00:45.00
Level 2 - Learning the Ropes - 01:05.00
Level 3 - Jungle Gym Hijinx - 01:15.00
Level 4 - On the Rebound - 01:25.00
Level 5 - Nothing but Air - 01:20.00

Europe
Level 1 - Slip Slide Ride - 01:30.00
Level 2 - Conveyance - 01:25.00
Level 3 - Elevation - 01:25.00
Level 4 - Shaky Footing - 01:20.00
Level 5 - Swinging in the Rain - 01:55.00

Japan
Level 1 - Rebounding Again - 01:20.00
Level 2 - Domou Arigatou - 01:15.00
Level 3 - Peak Performance - 01:45.00
Level 4 - Muzukashii Wheel - 01:45.00
Level 5 - Get Carter - 01:35.00
