How to unlock the Night of a Thousand Stars achievement in Nickelodeon Kart Racers 2: Grand Prix - Definitive Guide
I will be honest - there is no easy way around this and it is miserable. I am simply posting what I used to get through it in hopes it at least gives people an idea on how to manage.
First, you have to come in 1st in every race. And if you don’t in race 4? Well, you start back at race 1. It’s the worst.
You 100% have to use the frogs (Mr and Mrs Bighead I think) as your special. Use it throughout the race but MAKE SURE you have one available near the end. They can sometimes win you races by pulling you ahead after the cpu flies by you for no reason at all before the finish line. For crew I used boost on coin pickup and boost on item pickup (don’t remember which characters those are - sorry!)
I used Rocco with full speed/turbo and some steering. Honestly, drifting is pointless most of the time so there’s no need to sacrifice anything else on it. Besides that, it takes a massive amount of perseverance and luck.
*Difficulties do not stack*. Hope this helps.
PS - You can plug in 3 other controllers and try doing this against only 4 AI racers. This did help on one or two of the events I couldn’t do. However, getting hit right before the finish line + items that hit first place have the same unfair balance so it doesn’t solve the problem completely. The best AI racer will still try and ruin the game, but I will admit that less AI = less random items and chaos. Still doesn’t remove how unfair the AI is though.

Many thanks for the set/loadout ideas.
Just finally completed it.
My Set, I completed all cups on.
Driver: Shredder
Chief: April (Speed boost and invisibility)
Engineer Grandpa Phil (Speed Burst bonus item)
Mechanic: Mermaid Man & Barnacle Boy (Speed boost when running over slime coin)
Engine: 90s Tv
Wheels: Slime
Exhaust: Slime
This set was also insanely good for completing all the ghost time trials. I usually beat them by +15-20 seconds
Now besides combo/set, driving skill on this speed and tiny tracks. But most of all luck plays the biggest part. For example, the jelly fish coming near the finish line on the final lap. I actually won two of the cups. Being 2nd and unable to catch the CPU in first. Jellyfish caught him right before the line, final race, final lap and I was able to glide past. And sometimes it was the exact opposite and went against me. Other times, no jellyfish at all. Then there's all the unfair advantages the CPU gets, which are numerous. Such as do they happen to shoot a football right before the finish line, and you won't have a counter item. Or they get that damn fire speed burst right the end.

Can confirm that doing any of the higher difficulty cups from the get-go will NOT stack with the lower ones. Just won my very first cup on Hard right at the beginning and it didn't count for the lower difficulties.

The best character/kart combination for speed is:
Rocko or Shredder
90s TV or Candy Store engine
Slime, Ace Savvy, or Glitter wheels
Slime exhaust pipes
The most common combo is usually TV engine, Slime wheels and slime exhaust. This gives a good balance of steering and drift when using Shredder.
The best chief/crew members combination is:
April O'Neil or Zuko
Eugene and Muddy Mudskipper are best for speed, but Leni Loud and Mrs. Puff can also be good for specific tracks.
These combos are typically used for speedrunning, and can make the harder tracks a bit more bearable.
