How to unlock the Taking Point achievement in Rare Replay - Definitive Guide
1 - Hold to fire, and slowly move back and forth occasionally moving your aim up to hit additional enemies.
2 - For Battletoads, go up to enemies and tap to hit them and kill them. Kill 3 enemies to reach the goal.
3 - This Cobra Triangle can be a little tricky. You will be automatically moved forward due to water current and you must hit the enemies on the side of the shore. Each enemy is worth 100 points, but every consecutive enemy, you get an extra 50, so the key is kill a lot of enemies in a row without missing.
4 - In Snake Rattle N Roll, just grab the first "Y" pieces and then grab the black circle with your tongue. The only thing you have to worry about is hitting an enemy or getting killed by the crocodile in the water.
5 - From the start, go to the right hand side until you end up in a room where 2 skeletons spawn. Alternate between them and kill them as they keep respawning. Be as quick as possible, and kill 13 skeletons to reach the goal score.

Alongside the full games, each pre-N64 game in Rare Replay has five standalone 'snapshot' challenges available to attempt; this concept is taken a stage further by a set of six 'playlists,' collecting together five achievements that share a particular theme. theme. To complete each playlist, you'll need to complete each set of snapshots in sequence without failing more than twice across the whole set.
For this achievement, you'll need to complete the 'Blast Score' playlist, for which each snapshot requires you to reach a threshold score from shooting/attacking obstacles and enemies. The snapshots are as follows:
1. Lunar Jetman: Rover the Moon
Score 3000 points within 60 seconds, all from the comfort of your Moon Rover.
You don't even need to move your rover from its starting point for this snapshot and you're invulnerable while inside it. Hold down the fire button and you can fire continuously, shooting out the enemies as they appear - 3,000 points should come very quickly.
2. Battletoads: Smashing Performance
Listen up, 'Toads! Score at least 15,000 points in 60 seconds.
Set in stage one of the game, for this snapshot just attack enemies as they appear ('smash hit' attacks being preferable to score points more rapidly) and you should accrue 15,000 points comfortably within the 60 seconds given.
3. Cobra Triangle: Rapid-Fire Rapids
Shoot the targets as you're dragged downstream! Score at least 5,000 points to succeed.
This snapshot sees your boat being dragged slowly down the river, with targets on either side - you need to shoot these to score points. The points awarded for hitting each target will increase if you can get an unbroken chain of targets hit, but don't worry too much if you're well below 5,000 points at the end of the course - you can get at least 3,000 bonus points from spinning your boat as you cross the finish line.
4. Snake, Rattle 'n' Roll: Score Adder
Score at least 2,500 points in 45 seconds and prove you're the hippest snake in town.
This snapshot is set in the game's first level, where 45 seconds is plenty of time to score 2,500 points. There are two enemies at the start of the level - defeating these will earn you 1,000 points apiece. Now, you can just locate the item dispenser and eat Nibbley Pibbleys (worth 100/200/300 points, depending on colour) for the rest of the required points. If you prefer, you can continue to explore for alternative ways to score points.
5. Digger T. Rock: Legend of the Lost City: High Scare Challenge
Welcome to scary Cavern 5! Score at least 2,500 points in 60 seconds.
To reach the required 2,500 points, move to the right from your starting point to find a pair of skeletons, which you can attack for 200 points apiece. Wait a few seconds and the skeletons should respawn and you can just continue attacking them, then waiting for a further respawn until you reach 2500 points. You may eventually find that a ghost comes towards you - if so, descend the nearby ladder to avoid it - you'll find another skeleton at the bottom.
