How to unlock the True Champion achievement in Midway Arcade Origins - Definitive Guide

For me, this was one of the hardest achievements in the game.
Like Oobgarm said, its not a good idea to start on the first ("easy") course.
The problem with doing so is that for the 3rd course, you have to play on a track which has 'shortcut doors,' which are extremely hard to maneuver through, and which the computer will take EVERY time they are open, putting you at an extremely unfair advantage.

SO, here's what I suggest: start on the bottom right ("medium" course). Make sure to avoid the medium course on the direct right.
Choosing to start on the bottom right medium track will give you 3 easier tracks, no trap doors. On the 3rd track, you will have a randomly-generated tornado, which is probably the only reason its categorized as "medium" and not easy, but it didn't cause me any problems.

Other than that, just familiarize yourself with the wanky controls and should get it eventually! don't give up! smile

Yeah this one was rough. The controls were really odd. Thanks for the tip on the track to use... it helped. One more thing I found I was doing was holding the trigger all the way down. Once I learned to control my speed I was barely holding the trigger down and I had much more control. I found that it was easier to get the lead and keep it if I didn't try gunning it.

I think you mean the middle right track? The bottom right track doesn't match what you say in the solution. +1 none the less.

Bottom Right definitely was the best out of the 4 I tried.
First 2 maps are pretty easy, but I spent about an hour trying to get that 3rd one finished.
Such a relief to get it done.

Good solution although it should be noted that you should try to grab those golden wrenches when ever possible because if you get 3 you can get an upgrade for your car which can make things a little easier.

Bah! It's like competing in an obstacle course where the other three runners have track shoes and I am made to wear ill-fitting rocket skates with nitroglycerin toe stops.

Personally, I found this achievement easier if you select the second track to start on. That could just be me getting used to the controls, though.

It's a fairly simple achievement that just takes a bit of practice if you're having trouble.

The sprint games are all about practicing until you can get it. The Sprint games were favorites of mine years ago, so that could explain the relative ease I got these achievements with.

Took about 10 tries for me. Easy on the throttle in the turns, keep practicing the tracks, even though you are losing.

Nice guide, thank you!

So I also got it on the 2nd set of easy tracks. The other solution said to use the 2nd medium set of tracks, but I just couldn't get the third one. After attempting that a few times, I tried this one. Maybe I just got better with the controls, but this popped first try for me on the 2nd set of easy tracks

Ah, Championship Sprint, here we go:

Step 1: If you have not yet popped any achievements on Midway Arcade Origins, remove the disc from your console and delete the game history. Break the disc and burn the case. Go play a game that doesn't suck total ass. Send me a "Thank You" letter.

Step 2: Fire up Score Attack mode. Choose one of the starting tracks marked "easy". They are both about the same difficulty. The default track features a slightly easier first and second track, with a harder third track. The other "easy" starting track features a slightly harder first and second track with a slightly easier third track. They are both miserable, but I recommend the second starting track.

Step 3: Learn the steering controls. Championship Sprint features a very unique steering system in that the steering controls are virtually non-existent. You can't actually steer per se, what you want to do is use the D-PAD (this is a must) to gently nudge your out of control vehicle in the right direction. Attempting to actually steer your vehicle will only result in frustration and anger.

Step 4: Learn when to gas it. The right trigger controls (kind of) your acceleration. You want to keep this pressed all the way down and let off just before a curve, using your momentum to nudge yourself around, before holding it down again. There are a lot of curves, so you'll more or less be pumping this as you play.

Things that WILL happen while playing Championship Sprint: (1) You will randomly explode. (2) The other cars will constantly run you into walls despite your inability to do the same to them. (3) You will lash out at your friends and family. (4) You will lose interest in a hobby you once loved, namely gaming. (5) You will curse Midway and wish physical harm upon everyone involved with this POS game.

Things that WON'T happen while playing Championship Sprint: (1) You won't have fun. (2) You won't get three wrenches before the third track, don't even bother.

After cursing at the game for a while, this guide really made me laugh... "You will lash out at your friends and family. (4) You will lose interest in a hobby you once loved, namely gaming. (5) You will curse Midway and wish physical harm upon everyone involved with this POS game."

Thanks for the laugh. I think I am ready to give it another shot now.

-1 from me for Step 1 because I was born in 1979 and grew up with all of these games. I actually had fun playing Championship Sprint AND Super Sprint growing up because playing the cabinets was easier than playing on the 360/One for sure, but claiming the games in this collection suck and you won't have fun playing Championship Sprint really soured my opinion of your guide. Jokes are jokes, but c'mon, you took a HUGE dump on my childhood. X_X

That's a lot of words to tell us how much you suck at video games lmao.
The controls couldn't be simpler, the car turns left and right and goes forward.
I'm with Crater Bob, this and Super Sprint are awesome.

All you need to do for this is to win 3 races in a row. Sounds easy enough. On this game, make sure to choose the second track to start on, not the first. I found if you pick the first track, your second and third races will be on much more challenging tracks. I also found using the D-Pad (instead of the joysticks) makes turning MUCH easier.

Your first two races shouldn't give you any trouble. You may even find yourself lapping opponents, even though each race is only 30-45 seconds. Once you get to the third race, the AI steps its game up considerably. Just concentrate on getting a decent lead (1/4-1/2 lap is fine) then drive conservatively. Bumping into walls after driving too fast can ruin any chance of winning. The biggest challenge for this (and Super Sprint/Super Off-Road) is getting used to the turning controls. Once you get over that, these shouldn't be as bad as some people would lead you to believe.
