How to unlock the Marathon Session achievement in Rio - Definitive Guide
Here is an idea on how long it would take to get this achievement:
3.5 hours of continuous walking or summed up time walking.
Here is the main reasons for choosing 'Super Mudball' with the parameters of a four (4) human player or four (4) active controllers VS match.
1) The achievements listed later in the post can be all had from this one (1) board.
2) No time limit.
3) The math below is based on this game board.
First, select party games and do verses or verses with quiz. Then select 'Super Mudball' game. Using the 50m samba zombie achievement as a basis for estimate, here is the approximate time in revolutions around the game board border to get this achievement. An actual mile is 1609.344 meters. If we assume that an actual mile is scaled properly in the game, one and a half (1.5) revolutions around the board is 50 meters worth, based on the samba achievement. Multiply the 50 meters by 2 to even out 100 meters per 3 revelutions. Now, by dividing the 1609.344 (meters) by 100 (meters) we get 16.1 (approx.) and then multiply by the 3 revolutions to get 48.3 times around the border to get one (1) mile worth of walking. Finally, multiply by 26 (miles) to get the final number of 1256 revolutions around the border of the game board with about 10 secs (approx.) per a revolution running you a grand total of 3.5 hours of constant circling or running in a corner.
1.5 revolutions = 50 meters
x 2 on both sides
3 revolutions = 100 meters
1609.344 meters = 1 mile
1609.344 / 100 = 16.1
16.1 * 3 = 48.3 revolutions = 1 mile
26 miles * 48.3 revolutions = 1256 revolutions
1256 * 10 sec per revolution = 12560 secs
12560 / 60 secs / 60 minutes = 3.5 hours of continuous walking
Now I know that is a lot of work to receive a number of times to walk your bird around the board and for how long. Here is the reasons I did it.
1) This gives a basic idea of how long it will take to get this achievement.
2) I wanted to show where I came up with the total time of investment into this achievement - straight and continuous walking.
3) I love numbers and I am a straight number geek.
Here is a list of other achievements that can be had from this board alone:
I enjoy every once in a while breaking away from the grind of achievement hunting and do some fun number stuff.
Hope you enjoyed reading and good luck!

Thanks for all the positive feedback! It was fun for me to break down the numbers into its simplest forms and I am glad that you all are enjoying the results. :D

Maths....yummy...

Best done with you using 4 controllers, or use two and take out the computer. Just go in to a game that has no time limit.
Like the Dogeball, or Mud Dogeball.
*"Blue Shoe power is not needed for this".
Rubber band trick is the best idea here. It does work but there is no way of telling how long it will take. I just let it run in a coner. After I finished all the other achievements I let the game run over night and got it.

After getting every other achievement in the game, for me it took about 2 hours to get this one to pop using the rubber banding method. Obnoxious achievement!

Still 5 hours rubbering but no achievement. Are you sure that 25 miles are commulative or it means 25 miles in a single gaming session?

Hi Guys, my first one of these but due to my frustration I thought I would post.
This achievement is a lot longer than first though!!!!
Firstly, I would recommend leaving this to last, then depending on your skill level will determine how long you will need to needlessly run around, I completed the story Mode, then achieved Gold on all mini games, and then did the various bits and bobs.
It then took me 7 Hours of rubber banding on Super Mudball with two wired controllers, for this to pop up.
Note it doesnt need to be done with the running shoes.

Yes this IS taking forever. My last cheevo, been rubber banding this for about 2 hours a day for the past 4 or 5 days, still hasn't popped :(

11hrs spread over 2 days until it popped.

How I did it:
I hooked up two wired controllers (one regular wired controller, one using the plug and charge cable) so that neither controller would power down from inactivity.
Then I went to Party VS mode, with 2 human players and 2 computer controlled. I loaded up Super Mudball, and quickly killed off the two AI characters so just my characters remained.
Then I hooked a rubber band around the left stick and the grip of the controller so that it was tight enough to be pulled all the way down and a bit to the left, leaving my character running into a wall.
I left it like this for a couple of hours and the achievement popped. I'm pretty sure it's cumulative, I had been running around as much as possible throughout the game as well.
I can't remember if rubberbanding a wireless controller prevents it from powering down or not though.

You will probably get this by the end of your attempt to get the other trophies. This trophy is cumulative and counts across any minigames that involve you moving around on the ground (ie non-flying, dancing, etc type minigames). If you want to try to grind this one out, start a 4 human player game & pick a minigame with no time limit where you are free to move (like Dodge Ball or Snowball Fight) and just keep running around to accumulate the miles. Once you finally have run for more than 26 miles, the trophy will pop!

This was the last trophy I had because... even after winning 200 minigames it didn't drop. To quickly get it, go to the “Mudball” mini-game and connect the second joystick. Get rid of computer bots and run circles around your remaining player without killing him. You can run endlessly until you get the trophy. At the same time, finishing the peats “Good with Fists”, “Lover of Shock” and “Thunderstorm of Pepper”. Since these bonuses appear more often in this minigame than in others.

You will get the trophy while working on other trophies - move more
