How to unlock the DUCK! achievement in GoldenEye 007 - Definitive Guide
This achievement requires completing the Streets level on Agent difficulty in less than 1:45.
Timing is tight on this one but all you need to do (essentially) is run as fast as you can to the end of the level.
Note that you can move faster with a slight modification to your controls. Open the pause/watch menu, then toggle right twice to the control style screen. Toggle down once to choose "configure," then move down to the d-pad and toggle it (press right on the d-pad) to show "move and strafe." Then press the menu button to return to the game. You can now move faster with the d-pad, particularly when moving at an angle rather than straight ahead.
Here's my (updated) video guide with commentary:

Might be worth mentioning that you toggle the settings by using left/right. Took me a while to figure it out, the menu controls are awful.

Someone suggested to change the movement and strafe to d pad and they suggested to hold the d pad buttons diagonally to beat the level under time……I did that method and I beat the streets level in 1:27 seconds

Huge props to vSully's video guide with commentary I just wanted to post some notes on my experience in case someone else was in the same boat as me.
So this might sound a little weird but:
- Skipping the intro to the mission seemed to start the timer early. Yes it sounds weird but I found skipping it meant the final timer wouldn't match up with the mission countdown. E.g having a final mission timer of 1:50 even though the mission countdown said 3:20 left remaining.
- Personally I found hugging the left route as opposed to the guides route easier as there's body armour in the right corner as you're hugging the wall for the fastest route. There's also more guys with guns as opposed to rockets meaning you can use them for momentum a little bit easier.
Also my apologies for any weird formatting typing this on my phone.
Edit: Sincerest thanks to those in the comments suggesting changing to the "2.3 Domino" control scheme to aid in strafing your way to the exit. I managed to do it without changing mine but I was aided quite a bit from forward momentum of being shot in the back.
Happy hunting!

I wonder if you can actually use cheats to unlock other cheats it seemed to be tracking the time when I was using the Gold PP7 to cheat though I was still about 10 seconds off.
Edit: So right stick strafing ended up being too awkward for me, so I ended up switching Move & Strafe to the D pad using the 4.1 custom option and got it with 4 seconds to spare while constantly diagonally moving and shooting any guards that got in the way while avoiding other guards, this may help for those that find right stick strafing awkward.
Edit 2: It tracks the time, but cheats can't be used to unlock other cheats as I did this easily with Turbo mode and Gold PP7, got there in under a minute without strafing and it didn't unlock it, still though this is useful to know.

For me, it was impossible to reach sub 1:45. To do this I had to change the control style in order to move and strafe with 2 different sticks. It make you move faster like on the n64. I choose "2.3 domino" control style.

To unlock this achievement you have to beat Streets in 1:45 or less on Agent.
I highly recommend switching your movement to the D-Pad, you cannot strafe properly with the left stick!
This one is really straight-forward. Hard if you don't know how to strafe run, but incredibly easy and consistent once you do that. Set the controls to the D-Pad as recommended for maximum speed, ignore the tank, and just rush it. That's it!

To get the Enemy Rockets cheat you have to beat the Streets level on Agent (Only) in 1:45. Using any cheat will not unlock the cheat. Time is tight but you do not need to change the control scheme to unlock this, just follow the route on the video. I did it in 1:40 by just running like hell, don't stop for anything and not using the d-pad to strafe.
This is by far the tightest timing in the game. Even a perfect run with no hiccips might not succeed. I had literally six runs in a row at 1:46 before finally getting a 1:45 on the nose and unlocking this achievement. The only thing I did differently was that I didn't have any bad shots (ones that pushed me back or sideways) and I had a couple that pushed me forward. Watch the video below to see the route, memorize it, and then practice and hope to get lucky.
