How to unlock the Mark's Favorite achievement in Shenmue - Definitive Guide

This is missable.

Every morning, before work begins, there will be a three-lap forklift race around the Harbour between Ryo and four other forklift operators. Your opponents don't pose all that much of a threat, but the route itself, which is always the same, can be tricky, especially where objects in the environment are concerned. Be especially careful when turning corners as the forklifts have a tendency to 'stick' if you are too close to the object you are turning towards.



Here is a video of the race :

Make a separate save before your first day of work. There is a set number of days that you work in the story. After that you are unable to race. If you don't come in first then you can go back to your separate save and try again.

Just wanted to add a few things:

Press B to change the camera to first person, much easier
Press A once to raise the forks, seems to make a difference IMO
Hold RT the whole time, only releasing before you start turning, and then hold RT through the turn to quickly take a sharp boost around a corner.

Do you know if they will unlock later or will just have to do it again?

I'm sorta glad others are having issues in the sense of knowing I'm not alone, I do think it's definatley the xbox side of things and not Shenmue, gocha 3 didn't unlock until a few days later for me so it could be safe to assume that they will pop later, I'm gonna keep a save file on the side just in case though

it "should" unlock by itself... But i think it depends of the game... Some games register and unlock later and some games must be replayed... But in the case of Shenmue, i think it register.

You have to be online to unlock achievements. You can still get them when your offline they'll simply pop the next time your online. This is the case for the majority of xbox one achievements

This is an awful mechanic. The opposition are maniacs and try and kill you constantly I have been crushed against the wall so often.

This one is super frustrating. You basically have to have a perfect run. It's the only achievement I don't have from 1 & 2.

Holy 💩 I finally got it!

14 months of trying on and off 🙌

My tip is to switch the camera to the other perspective. I also drove with the forklift raised to the middle so the square frame part is on screen. If you aren't in first or very close by the second lap consider starting over. Using the shortcut near the end of the course is the key to overtaking the other drivers. Driver 1 will pass you easily if you're not careful.

The downside is that the game is leaving gamepass and I don't have a close save file to the achievement that I'm missing so I think I'll just have to wait and hope for the best

This one popped up after finishing the first day of work.

After five times winning the race consecutively on the first day of work (saving and reloading) the achievement just didn't show up on screen. I thought it was glitched and had to retry it over and over, so decided to make two saves to continue with the story and try to grind it later until I finally unlock the achievement. But when I finished the first day of work and returned to Dobuita, the achievement popped up for me just getting off the bus.
Just posting this in case anyone wants to try this aswell.

Coming first is simply a matter of not hitting any objects or walls and using the shortcut towards the end. The shortcut is between the metal pillars, the AI will always take the outside path so you can catch up by a second or two every lap. My video below demonstrates using the shortcut and coming first.

MISSABLE

Before going to work, SAVE!!! You will have a 3 lap race before work each day. Finish the race in 1st place to get the trophy. You should just reload the save if you do not get it the first time to avoid missing this. Be careful not to hit walls or corners in the race. You will come to a near stop, slowing you considerably.

If you are having issues with this, xkzonstr offered a great tip. Towards the end of the course, you zigzag through a covered area and into the turn before the straight away with the finish line. ALL the racers go around the covered area but you can cut between the beams and do a beeline into the next turn.

I recommend saving before your first working day at the port if you want to get the prize right away; the number of days when this trophy is available is limited and depends on your progress. This video shows an example of how you can win the race https://youtu.be/KbFY6itXuI0

You will work for 5 days and the course will be the same every day, so if you missed the first race, no worries
