How to unlock the Get Freaky achievement in Midway Arcade Origins - Definitive Guide

Start the game on level 3. After you go a little bit, there will be a big car that can't be taken down normally using siren. Push this car to the left or right off the road to make an arrest. Now make it back to the police station while keeping to the left or right side of the road to hit donuts for more time. Once you get to the station hit A and B as quickly as possible to finish the arrest.

Not sure why a perfect solution has 3 negatives, guess you have some haters out there. Not me, thumbs up.

You might want to make it clearer how you can start the game on day 3. This is done by moving the analogue stick on the start screen. There's also a drive through donut shop that always gives you extra time, but the donut stalls on the side of the road retract their offerings and they can be missed. I found that I had to refuel my gas to make it back to the station, but other than that your solution is fine.

You should add to the solution that this whole game becomes a lot easier if you just hold down the siren the entire time.

The video is very good and the young man did a good job. If I could make one change, you do NOT have to get all 4 litterbugs for the quota, as I can confirm.
I only had 3 and barely made it back to the station.
Just make sure you get the arrest and haul buggy back to the station, then mash the buttons for the confession.
When I got the next screen, cheevo popped.
Good luck, as this will probably take you five or six tries, but watch the video link from Jimmythekidd02 for tips.

Constant siren and getting donuts is key to having enough time. Donuts extend time to complete the day, and gas should not be needed. You get to try the same day again if you do not have too many demerits.

Freddy always appears in the same place and is easy to push off the road when he first appears. The Police Station is on the right after a few sections. No need to get "littering" arrests.

What a pain in the bud achievement. You probably much got to be flawless or you'll run out of time.

At the beginning, use the left stick to start on Day 3. Once you've started, floor it (cn_RT) and keep the siren on continuously (cn_A) so you can get the first donut on the right, then change lanes to the left and get that one. This should give you the time you need to finish. Don't worry about your litterbug and help quota. After you cross the train track, Freddy Freak will appear in his hippie van. Keep the siren on, pull up beside him, and force him off the road. Drive to the station before your gas and time run out and pull into the parking spot. Alternate tapping cn_A and cn_B quickly to make Freddy confess. (If, for some reason, you have trouble getting A-B to work, alternating cn_A and cn_X also works.)

The buttons to mash are incorrect in this guide and caused me to keep failing. You need to mash X+A in the confession screen.

I don't know what to tell you...I just replayed it to make sure I wasn't crazy, and A-B definitely works. It's the only way I've ever done it. The screen even tells you to alternate between siren, which is cn_A, and fire, which is cn_B, so that's how you're expected to do it. To my surprise, A-X also works, and I added that to the solution.

This game is extremely confusing but the trophy isn't that hard to get.

When starting select day 3 at the menu screen. When the game properly begins, start driving north and take the 2nd left turn. If you went the right way you should see a train track with a train going by. Just north of that is Freddy in a hippie van. It won't pull over with your sirens so you need to bash into it until it drives off the road. Upon successfully doing that you need to get back to the station. Head north and keep taking the left turns (not the 90 degree left turns) and you should come across the police station. Simply drive into the parking spot and it will go to a new screen where you need to mash X extremely quickly to interrogate Freddy. If the bar filled up in time the trophy is yours.

Tips:
If you are struggling to find the police station or Freddy then have some test runs to familiarise yourself with the map.

You don't need gas or donut refills but if you find you're running out of time then grab some donuts. They're the trays that go flying out on the side of the road, just drive past into the tray to get more time.

Never take any sharp 90 degree turns as that will lead you away from Freddy and the police station.

Drive with your sirens on so cars get out of your way.

Here is a trophy that is only mildly difficult because the game is so confusing. When you start, MAKE SURE to pick Day 3, since Freddy Freak only appears on Day 3. Immediately floor it, while holding down the siren, and always stay to the left. You will eventually come up to train tracks. As long as you have been going fast, you will cross the tracks before the train. Right after the train tracks, on the right side of the street, Freddy Freak will pull into the road. He has a bright pink "Hippie Van". Immediately ram him off the road. As long as you keep on him, it will take no time to arrest him.

After gathering up Freddy, things get even more confusing. Floor it again with your siren blaring, and keep heading to the left every chance you can. Eventually, you will pull into the Police Station. MAKE SURE to park in the back on the right hand side. You don't have to actually park, just drive right into it. Hold down the gas button and prepare to mash the hell out of the siren button. You will now be "interrogating" Freddy as the Chief is heading to your office. As long as you get the bar up before the chief grabs your door, Freddy confesses, and you got yourself another trophy!

This will definitely take a few tries - if you aren't fast enough driving you can run out of time, but as long as you stay left, pull over Freddy quickly and refrain from crashing, you will have this one done fairly easily.

For this game The easiest way to handle the controls is to use for gas and the D Pad to steer left and right, hold down to use your police siren. I tried the game multiple times using just the dpad and couldn't get this until I switched to the above scheme and got it my first try. To speed up the process skip to level 3 in order to jump right to level requiring you to catch freddy, you will have to get gas at a few stations as well as be efficient in stopping and starting to avoid collisions then speed back to the station after you have caught freddy, in order to catch him just run him off the road by bashing into him a lot from one of his sides. In my multiple previous failures I had also learned where the gas stations were, it may take you a few tries to get back to the station before running out.

This is done in level 3 (by the way, you can select it right from the menu to speed up the process))) The system for catching a criminal is quite clumsy(((and also in the level before it you need to push 4 more cars to the side of the road, and after you have caught the main villain, you definitely need to get to police station and go through a mini-game there with alternate pressing of buttons, otherwise the trophy will not be given; along the way, stop at gas stations and fast foods if there is little gasoline or time left
