How to unlock the Food bank achievement in Feeding Frenzy - Definitive Guide

Play Stage 21: Deep Water Dreams

Focus on eating the school's of small red fish. When you are close to finishing the level get eaten by a shark or whale. Continue this until you have used your last continue. Finish the level before you run out of lives on your last continue. You can get 1000+ each time doing this.

Tips:
-Avoid the frenzy bubbles when you are in the third growth stage. They can end the level quickly.
-Bite the whale's tail to increase your score faster and get more lives. Just be careful when it turns around to try to eat you.

Awesome guide. What I would normally do is once I get to the last "level up" of my fish, I would concentrate on getting as much lives as I can. Then i would eat and get killed b4 i finished the level. I repeated this over and over and would get on average between 1500-2000 per round. I could have gotten more but my house is prone to have quick power outages so i did'nt want to take a chance

Still don't understand how to "bite the tail" of the largest fish. Nothing happens and they just eat me.

Just wanted to point out the following:

1.) You can only bite the tail of the killer whale, you cant bite the regular shark tail
2.)The points for the bite get multiplied with each successful bite, meaning that once you get to around 10 bites in a row you will start earning around 4000-5000 points PER BITE. I would recommend doing this as soon as a whale comes in so you can stock up on lives and then focus the rest of the stage on grinding out your fish bank!

Took me exactly 45m longer than the 10 hours to get this.

Regardless, it's a grind. But you're guaranteed to get over 300,000 at some point if you're going for big numbers each round.

I haven't seen this posted anywhere, and I don't remember where I found out about it, but this method can get you ~7000 fish per hour.

Play Barracuda Buffet (Level 36) and finish the stage. Before transitioning to the Bonus Stats screen, position your Orca so that it will die by an oyster while the Bonus Stats screen is up - the oysters continuously open and close in the background. If done correctly, you'll see the screen flash while counting up your Food Bank and Score and it'll reset the screen, doubling your Food Bank and Score (since it thinks you completed the stage twice).

This method will work for any stage, as long as you can find a way to die while the Bonus Stats screen is up and tallying your score. If anyone can find a non-Bonus stage that this will work on where the Food Bank can be easily doubled, please let me know and I'll update the solution.

Can you explain Grapple? I've had this work every single time on Level 36, where it doubles your score for the stage.

I can confirm that this works, but I found the stage extremely repetitive. I was also getting about 6500 to 7000 fish per hour just playing Deep Water Dreams, and I found that to be slightly more entertaining.

Very nice trick! Chiming in late here, but I think Grapple thought that it would keep glitching until you hit 40,000 basically hit it once and walk away.

Also it should be noted that eating the poisonous fish counts towards the food bank as well. So if you have time to spare you could eat these fish as well (they don't count towards the 60 for this bonus stage). It's a small notation that could be obvious, but I thought I'd throw it in here just incase.

I know I'm over a decade late on this game but this solution is definitely the way to go for this achievement. You can get your fish eaten total to double every single time, even if you mess up and don't eat all 60 barracudas. Sometimes it takes up to a few seconds after the first stat screen finishes calculating. If you don't get it, you weren't in correct position for the oyster to eat you.

Just to note, I played the digital version of the game, downloaded from the marketplace. I didn't test the version on the XBLA compilation disc.

I've got the XBLA disc version and this does not seem to work. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

I've got the disc at home I can attempt this with, but you'll hear the "chomp" sound during the end screen, the screen will reset (if you get eaten), and it'll start counting back up again.

Thanks for the response after so many years lol. I usually play without sound so I'll turn the volume up today and see if I hear the sound. Definitely haven't seen the screen reset.

Seems for me that the clams stop moving at all once you complete the stage - if they're open they just sit open.

Good to know. I did get it to work on a separate bonus stage back in the day, but it didn't give me any where near the same amount for the effort.

So it does work on barracuda buffet, but I havent got it to work on any other levels.

Thanks for the help.

I found this way faster than doing 37, probably about half the time for about the same amount of progress. Great solution!

I managed to get myself killed on a normal level by clam, it just reset the stats to 0,0,0 rather than doubling them.

Thanks for the guide though shadow!

I found this accidentally today whilst going through a regular play (aiming for 300K but increasing food bank at the same time). I was awarded all the points twice, casually skipping through the tally (but not mashing). It wasn't on the level specified in the solution, though. An open oyster will remain open during the tally; I was killed by one after completing the level requirement but before the tally screen showed up and as the clear text was appearing on screen

I don't know where they pulled the number 40,000 from, but getting this achievement is sure an achievement. This means that you must eat 40,000 fish and accumulate them in your foodbank. *sigh*. I NOW have it, and to be honest, very few do. You have to have extreme dedication to keep playing this game this long for such a measly amount of achievement points. Here's some basic strategies.
1) Combine this achievement with 10 Hours, Frenzy Fanatic, and Shark Eater.
2) You can do one of two things. You can either just keep replaying through the game or you can keep replaying certain levels. I recommend altering between the two to make it less repetitive.
3) Start by working towards "Shark Eater" by replaying a level with Sharks in it. I recommend one that has "Mines" in it so that you can kill yourself before you beat the level so you can eat some more sharks with your plentiful lives. Level 37 is a good level to do this on. NOTE: YOU MUST BEAT THE LEVEL TO HAVE THE SHARKS COUNT TOWARDS THE ACHIEVEMENT. DO NOT LOSE ALL YOUR LIVES BEFORE BEATING THE LEVEL.
4) You don't get points in your foodbank while playing Time attack mode, so make sure you're in adventure mode.
5) I've heard a lot of people recommending level 21. I've heard reports of people getting up to 800 fish added to the foodbank before completiting this level with their last life.

I just kept playing through the game until I got the 10 hours. After that I went to level 21, was getting 400-800 per by using the strategy of dying until one life left.

Its so boring. I am at ~21.000 fish in the foodbank playing lv. 21 a lot. I switched back to playing through all levels again because that is slightly more exciting. I hope to get around 10.000 fish per playthrough...

Edit: Finally done.

I recommend using Stage 2: "Feeding Frenzy!", for this achievement.

Playing through the campaign, time attack, and eating 1000 sharks before hand should net you around 13-15,000 fish eaten.

This level takes between 18 and 25 seconds. Add in the 5 seconds to exit to the menu and re do it after completing it and eating 25,000 more fish should be doable in less than 5.5 hours.

There are also no enemies to contend with, so the time spent will be much less stressful.
