How to unlock the Birdcatcher achievement in Grab the Bottle - Definitive Guide

One of the worst achievement in the game (and easily one of the worst I did in my life, I HATED it)

First of all, make sure you play with the D-Pad, you will have more control and you will be able to go in straight line more often, resulting in getting more speed (Because speed here, is the key...believe me)

Now, I have some good news for you : There's an exploit that you can use
You can press start every time you are coming close to the balloons and they will float while you are paused. This trick will gain you so much speed.

You will be able to skip the red balloon and go into a straight line, you will be able to skip the blue balloon and skip the corner more smoothly and you can skip the green balloon too to get good speed.

Nevertheless, It took me over 800 tries, I discover this trick by the end but you will have to get some practice because even with this exploit, it's still hard as sh**. I will add that watching some videos will help you get the best route(there's a ton of them on Youtube)

Good luck !

Trick still works rather frustrating to get this however the best advice is use less turning and you’ll soon get it. If it makes you rage come back. Easily the worst achievement I’ve got from this game so far.

This one took me quite a few attempts. Try to keep your moves at the minimum. Magpie is from Level 19.

Level 19

The requirement for this achievement is that you grab the bottle from the magpie mid level instead of from its nest at the end of the level. After playing this level initially, this may seem impossible since you were probably never very close to it, but with the proper strategy you can reach it before the end. Even with the right strategy, this is easily the hardest achievement in the game. I had 192 deaths once I finally got it, so be prepared for many attempts.

It really relies on your making a few key cuts in the level between obstacles you wouldn't have normally gone through since it's more precarious. In addition to that, you need to be very precise and deliberate with your movements. The more you change direction, the farther you will fall behind. So each change in direction needs to be only what is required. You can gauge this based on your timing with the balloons you have to go under or over. I found that second (blue) balloon to be the best benchmark for time.

The video below shows this being done and the proper route to take. Watch it a couple times to learn it, and then practice it over and over to replicate it. As I said, I had almost 200 deaths by the time I finally got this, so be prepared for a lot of attempts. Full credit to the creator of the video.
