How to unlock the Catcher Pitcher achievement in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed - Definitive Guide
Next, you want to choose Battle Arena, as there won't be any AI racers in this event. There should only be Player 1 and Player 2, so there won't be any distractions. Choose any characters and track you want. I did this on Neon Docks.
First thing to do when the match starts, is you want to collect the glove as Player 1, so keep collecting boxes and until you've got one.
NOTE: Make sure your account is signed in on the first controller, the one that will be using the glove.
Once you have the glove, do not activate it yet. Pick up the second controller and then collect the RC Car, as it's easier to use because it locks onto your opponent.
Once Player 2 has the RC Car, get behind Player 1. Now Player 1 can activate the glove, and then Player 2 to fire the RC Car at Player 1. If done correctly, Player 1's glove should catch the RC Car. Now you can use Player 1 to get behind Player 2 and fire the weapon back at it. If it hits, the achievement should unlock.
I unlocked it only a few minutes ago by unleashing a Hot Rod blast in the middle of a swarm of AI-controlled racers. My blast must have hit a weapon that had just been fired, and knocked it back into the originator.
So, the description could be rewritten as "Hit another racer with their own weapon".
But nice solution! If I hadn't unlocked it naturally, I'm sure I would have done exactly as you said.
This can be a little tricky to pull off. If you have trouble with this try setting up a second controller. Grab a glove with your controller and use the second controller to grab a snowball/firework. Block and throw it back. However the same can be done with an AI. Equip the glove and watch the AI's icon. If it has a weapon then bait him into shooting you by driving directly in front/behind him.
I recommend you do this on Expert as the A.I loves to hit you with stuff. Wait until you get a Glove, hold it until you see a racer behind you having a weapon. You have to hope for that racer to attack you with something, but make sure you have your glove on. If he/she throws an item at you and you catch it, you have to then find that opponent and hit him/her back with the item you just caught. Successfully do that and the trophy is yours. If this is annoying you, find a second controller. For Vita owners, find another Vita or boost this.
