How to unlock the Mission Complete! achievement in Shantae: Half-Genie Hero - Definitive Guide

As per usual with Shantae games there are four unique win screens. You'll get one just for beating the game. You don't have to get all four in one playthrough. They carry over between save files as well. The four win screens are:

1. Game Complete (Just Beat the Game).

2. 100 % (Collect all Galactic Convicts (Prisoners) [5 per level])

3. 100 % FASTEST TIME (aka Speed Run) The cut off for this is 1 Hour 5 Minutes. I did it in 50:59 without a guide on my first run. I recommend learning where the Galactic Convicts are in each level, not saving, then reload and replaying it and doing it flawlessly. Then save. Any time you fail make sure to go to main menu to load and not continue. Continue will add your fail time onto your total.

4. FASTEST TIME (aka Speed Run, no Galactic Convicts needed) The cut off for this is 50 minutes. I did a 100% run in 50:59 without a guide on my first playthrough. I did probably have a few sections I could do a little faster, but this one even more so than other modes, there is little room for error.

TIPS:

Included in these spoiler tags are my 100% run of 50:59 breakdowns. So you can see if you're ahead or behind my 50:59 pace. You'll need to knock a full 1 minute off my pace in order to do all 4 win screens in one run. After each time you save, you can back out to main menu and look at your save file to see your current run time rounded to nearest minute.



-For bosses in general you're going to want to make sure you have the max power up. This gives you a spread shot which does good damage. This will allow you to take down the Mermaid in seconds, Ammo Baron pretty easily, Dual Barons very easily and Risky Boots pretty easily with just the 2nd stage of power up (although 3rd can't hurt). The only bosses the power up won't matter are Stages 1 & 3.

-Also when going for speed runs skip all dialogue as fast as possible by mashing the cn_A. According to good Super man some scenes allow you to skip a series of dialogue with cn_start, so try that first and then if it doesn't skip mash that cn_A!!

-If you still struggle for 50 minutes time, I recommend you do a 100% playthrough Speed Run followed by a Speed Run where you skip the Galactic Convicts. Make sure to start a new save file as continuing a previous save file from the base game or first DLC will add to your total time.

I'm wondering why nobody comments on how great this guide is.
I have no idea how you managed to finish the boss AND the slide in ~2 minutes according to your times, since the slide itself already takes 1:10, but other than that, I managed to follow it pretty closely.
I usually do the collectibles in all levels but two (I tend to skip the ones in the tower and the ghost house on my first run for time reasons) in order complete the regular speedrun, then go back and finish the last collectibles and re-fight the boss for the 100% speedrun.
Anyways, thank you so much for your guide, it was a lifesaver.

I managed to pull off a 100% run in 49:09, and it definitely was not clean towards the end of it, so I definitely could have saved another minute or two if I wanted to. At one point, my splits were reading ~4 minutes faster than the ones listed, so there's definitely room for error if you want to get all 4 screens in one go. I definitely needed it, after all.

I managed a 45:56 which means there is a large amount of room for error, especially since I died on the slide at the end.

MISSABLE

This is one of the three most difficult trophies in this DLC set. Just like in the other modes of Shantae Half-Genie Hero, you must beat the DLC and achieve multiple win screens in Officer Mode, which are wallpapers shown when meeting certain requirements.

The requirements for the 4 win screens are:

Clear the game



Clear the game with 100%



Clear the game in 50 minutes



Clear the game in 1 hour with 100%.

You want to skip every cutscene with when you can. Also, be sure to skip the tutorial. You have only 50 minutes to clear every stage and get as close to 100% as you possibly can without breaking your time. Find and capture the Space Hooligans that you can but make sure you don’t spend too much time. If you fall in a pit and have to redo a checkpoint your better off restarting. On average you have just over 2 minutes per stage and you should be able to scream through several stages, but some stages such as the World 3 Boss can't exactly be sped up.

Fortunately, you have the benefit of being able to save after every sub-world so you can save after the tutorial, save after 1-1, save after 1-2 etc. but you cannot save after defeating Risky Boots. Due to this, you must beat her then escape on the lava slide in one attempt to save time otherwise you will add several minutes to your run.

Remember to collect as many gems as you can. Shantae is formidable at level 3 up as here pellet gun gets larger and faster but at level 4 she has the most range. If you can go into bosses like the Giga Mermaid (especially with her head jewel out of easy range) and the Dual Barons with level 4, you will be able to do damage very rapidly. You want level 4 weapons whenever you go into a boss because it makes the bosses much easier to hit and defeat quickly.

Don't focus on Space Hooligans but rather collect as many as you can. If you have particular trouble with one, you can always come back to it after you beat the DLC and get it as part of the 100% speed run.

If you can't make fastest time, beat the game with 100% under fastest time instead. Now go back and do a pure speed run by starting a new game on the same game save, preserving your previous win screen memory and ignoring all the Dream Squids and get the last win screen.

If you fail and continue, it's basically reloading your save file and does not impact your time. Also, any collectibles you found before continuing and post save are lost and will need to be reacquired.

Note: In each Sub-World stage there are 5 Space Hooligans to find (Risky Boots, Rottytops, Sky, Twitch and Vinegar). There are no Space Hooligans in boss stages or in the final lava slide.

A Guide for all 75 Space Hooligans can be found here: LINK.
