How to unlock the Arrow Of Light achievement in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed - Definitive Guide

If you can't seem to get this through normal play, you can do it the way I did.
Start up a battle (arena, capture the chao etc) with a 2nd controller as your opponent.
Choose Creepy Courtyard as your arena. On the middle bridge going across the river, there is a super pickup with 6 Ice Balls in every time. Now drive to the corner of the arena where there is a tree (on the side of the stage where the 2nd controller starts).
Then pick up the 2nd controller and drive them to the opposite tree (same side of the arena).
Then try to line yourself up with them and take a shot. If you miss, keep adjusting yourself slightly until you hit. It might take a few tries and you'll have to go back to the bridge for the pickup again.

A couple of tips:
-First I tried it against Amy but it seemed from that distance, the ice balls were going over her. So I put the 2nd controller as Ralph as he's tall.
-Also, make sure you are at the side of the tree so you definitely have the 100 meter distance.

Hope this helps and good luck!

An extra tip from CandidFever3 (thanks by the way!):

You have to hit the other player 2-3 times for them to freeze. Use the 6 ice ball pickup and use the first 2-3 shots to make sure you're on target. Arena makes this easier since you can see an icon indicating the other player's location. Then you need to hit them 2-3 times to freeze them. It counts if you see the word "freeze" pop up. The other player should become encased in a block of ice.

This achievement has been really hard to obtain, but I wouldn't stoop to using a second controller as you didn't really earn it did you. I'd rather not have the points then to pretend I did something.

Fair enough, that's up to you man. I've just given a potential solution that people can use if they choose to.
I'm not saying this is how you should do it and to not try and get it whilst racing etc.
You'll find there are a lot of solutions on a lot of games where you can use the 2nd controller to obtain achievements, but they are only suggestions.

Yeah it's not unlocking for me either. Possible glitched achievement?

Just got it as per the guide, except I had to do it 3 times as the first 2 didn't count. I'm not sure how you'd get this playing normally other than simply as a fluke. And to the person above, I do feel I earned it because I did exactly what the achievement asks for.

For me, no matter how many times I hit them, the freeze wouldn't go off. Instead, I used my first two shots as a rangefinder to get the second controller in line, then held A to fire 3 at once. That was the only way I could get the freeze and the achievement.

Most people seem to unlock this through the course of normal play, but if you want to get it out of the way then one method is to use a fruit machine before a race (either in World Tour or Local MP with another pad) and see if you can start with the Ice power-up.

Then when the race starts, wait for your opponents to make some headway, and take your shots. If you aren't successful then you can just restart and try again until you get the achievement. It helps if the track you select starts on a decent straight, I did it on Seasonal Shrines.

Should come naturally when using snowballs. Shoot them from as far as you can and hopefully hit the AI. You can either shoot one at a time or if you think you can hit them for sure hold and all 3 snowballs will release at once. You can even get a super pickup with 6 snowballs and hold if you want to unleash maximum carnage. For guaranteed success, pop in a second controller, choose sunshine tour, grab the snowball ability and put the second player at the end of one of the long roads.

To freeze an opponent, you have to have x3 Ice in your disposal. When you are directly behind a racer with at least 100 meters away, hold the button to freeze them.
