How to unlock the Star Spinner achievement in Rio - Definitive Guide

This is a slightly mis-leading description, in fact the Achievement is very easy to do - here's how I did it;

A Carnaval Wheel 'game' is, in fact, 12 rounds of seperate mini-games. You also have 3 Jokers available, which when you enable (with B at prompt), will double your score should you win. So if a game comes up that you are good at, use a Joker.

To earn this, you need to score OVER 700pts across ALL 12 mini-games. I did this playing on Easy, with 3 AI. Come round 8 I was on 710pts and it popped.

So it's very easy to do across 12 mini-games.



Good luck!

I quit out after I got my 700 points, not seeing there's an achievement to win the whole thing. It might be good to add that there are 2 Carnaval Wheel achievements.

Wheel Winner is for winning the Carnival Wheel game, so you do have to go through all 12 rounds to completion, AND have the most points. If you have 700 for Star Spinner, you most likely will have enough to win, unless someone else is getting a lot of points with jokers as well.

also I want to add if you havent noticed the indicator left or right determines which way the wheel spins which makes it even more easy to aim for the higher points on the wheel

I did it against 3 CPU opponents on hard difficulty finishing with 910 points. I needed 4-5 tries.

I won every Carnaval Wheel game with between 400-600 points at first. What I did wrong was to use my jokers too early or I simply ran out of luck getting a lot of 10 points as reward (or both). In my final game where I got 910 points I really saved my jokers for later and I was building up solid points in the first six games (until about 350-400 points without any joker). You definitely need to win most of the games which is easy for me even against hard CPUs as I have already got gold in every party game and finished story mode without loosing a game.

The easiest way to get this trophy is to use 4 human players (4 controllers) as you have a better control over the points that get selected for each game. Each round that you are given to spin the wheel, look at what the point values are for the spots 2 away on either side of its current position and aim to get the higher of the two. When it comes time to spin that wheel, make sure you only get about a 1/4 of the power bar full so it will only spin those 2 spots. Remember that you want the power bar to on the OPPOSITE side of the direction you aiming for (IE if you want it to go right, make sure the power bar is on the left). For bonus points, if you see a high number in either of the spots your aiming for (80 or higher), then make sure you use your Joker Card as it doubles the points you get at the end and this can make the climb towards 700 points alot easier. In the end, try to make sure you average gaining about 60 points a round to make it to your goal. Once get over 700 points (even if done before the game is over), the trophy will pop!
