How to unlock the Shadow Step achievement in Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed - Definitive Guide

To get this achievment just play in Time Attack mode on any race where you can do at least one Stunt Combo. A Stunt combo is when you push the right analog stick in any direction while in mid air to do a trick, land successfully and go straight into landing another trick.

Time attack lets you play indefinitely unless you press Y to quit so just keep playing until you have done 10 combos. There are also no NPC racers hitting you and throwing you off track so landing the combos should be easier. You can also go for beating all the staff ghosts on a particular level while getting this achievement.

I got this on Ocean View with Reala by taking the first boost pad you come across up the hill and tricking in the air, then after bouncing off the hill doing another trick before landing at the bottom.

Perhaps the best track would be Samba Studios as there are several places to get combos from.
First - last 2 ramps at the end of the first boat section. Also you can trick at the waterfall when you transform back into a car for an 'Awesome combo' - although I don't know if this would count as two combos, it at least gives another chance in case anything goes wrong.
Second - as you transform into the boat for the second time do a trick and aim for the right side (left on mirror) to hit the ramp for the combo.
Third - immediatly after the ramp described above, there is a corner and a ramp straight after. Hit this ramp and the one further ahead and you have a combo. You can also trick when you transform back into a car for a possible 'Awesome Combo'.

Other tracks where I have previously done combos:
Dream Valley - 3rd section where you are going down waterfalls in boat form.
Graffiti City - Across some rooftops after passing through a building near the start of the lap. I find taking the right fork in the roof (left on mirror) is easier but both can be used to trick.
Adder's Lair - Take the lower path just before the boat section then trick down the lavafall and aim for the ramp for the next trick.
Shibuya Downtown - Before the final corner there are two jumps that can be tricked off of.

There are probably more places but these are the only ones I can remember right now.

This method makes much more sense and is far less complicated than the other solution. I personally did this on the very first Seaside Hill/ Ocean Palace-esqe level. There is a hill on a corner where you can pull this off with ease.

Like PrettyPanther70 does, but if you head of the right at the start and take the shortcut. Flip off the first green podium onto the ramp, flip off the ramp, flip off the first bump and then flip off the hill. You'll get a Great, Awesome and Awesome Combo. Awesome combo counts for 2, so this combo counts as 3. So you can get it within 4 laps of one of the shortest tracks.

I have done more than 10 and no achievement nor sticker. Is it glitched?

@Otouto72. I will try this again myself on another account to test it now. I know there has been a title update allowing the Team Sonic achievement to be unlocked offline so maybe this has been altered too. That's my only idea at the moment.

I can confirm this is still unlockable. I just played Samba Studios with Sonic and had it after 3 or 4 laps. I do not know of any issues with it being glitched, of course you could be the unlucky one. Just to check, are you sure that you are landing 2 consecutive tricks and not just doing multiple tricks while in the air once?

Hi AquaSheep, yes I am doing two back to back to get a great combo complete with speech. I tried it at Shibuya Downtown in time attack with no reward but I will try Samba Studios tonight and report my results. I might be unlucky or I might be missing something. If I was getting the sticker but no achievement then thats a glitch but I am not even getting that. Weird.

Nope, after a half hour on Samba Studios and doing various great and awesome combos nothing...sigh. Tomorrow I will try this on another Xbox with a fresh save and see what happens. I am well lost with this one.

Hiya achievement unlocked at last after starting a fresh game on another console. It took more than 10 combos and 4 laps but doing double stunts followed by the combo seemed to help. Sure I missed out on a sticker but what gives. Many thanks for your help, I could have gave up but you inspired me to continue. PHEW!

This stupid achievement has just glitched on me. I did more than 10 combos 2 times and got nothing, today I tried it with a fresh savegame on Samba Studio and still nothing. I could bet this has something to do with their stupid title update... thanks a lot Sega.

You have to land between tricks to get a combo - which means only a few places are useful. Check my solution for recommended places.

I confirm it's glitched. Been trying to do it with the last update and it doesn't work.
I erased the update, started a new save and I got the sticker but no achievement.
Same issue with the ice cannon.
The first game was also full of glitches...

I'm thinking this is glitched too. I followed the guide and did Samba Studios, had a ton of Great Combos and a bunch of Awesome Combos, I was probably at 30+ when I finally quit, and got nothing.

Achievement pops in race. Keep playing until it unlocks. You need to try for great/awesome combos/transform boosts. It's definitely a bit buggy. Took at least 6 or 7 laps to pop, wasn't counting so it might have been more.

I used Sonic on Samba Studio in Time Attack.

Glitched for me too.

Tried Amy in Samba Studios and did about 40 actual great combos and about 12 awesome combos.

Tried Sonic in Ocean View. Nothing after 20 laps of Great Combos.

It's absolutely buggy. I did this on the one one of the jet set radio tracks and counted and did about 12-13 following the same route. Then I went off a massive jump and did like 3-4 flips (as I was doing throughout the time trial) and it popped after I landed. No rhyme or reason as to why.

I had trouble getting this to pop too. On one of my attempts on Samba Studio (in Time Attack mode) I decided to just start fudging around with my stunts. Every time I launched off a ramp I did two different tricks (e.g. left roll then right roll), and the achievement unlocked after 11 combos (maybe one of them didn't count for whatever reason)?

Dunno if it was just a coincidence but maybe try mixing up your tricks if you're having trouble getting this to unlock and see if it helps.

I ultimately popped this in Curien Mansion, Twilight Cup, World Tour. (at the start of lap 3, get a combo, then drive back up the stairs repeatedly.)

It actually popped when I did a 1+3 combo, by boosting over the second jump and cramming three tricks into it. Just FYI

@A1exRD's suggestion worked perfectly for me, the only thing that should be noted is that the game may reposition you if you drive backwards for too ling. If that happens, make sure to stop going backwards for a brief second, then go back until you are able to build up speed for the jump again.

I got this today on Xbox Series X, digital version (BC always uses the latest version anyways). Raced in Shibuya Downtown, counted 7 or 8 combos (one per lap) and then did a triple roll from the big jump shortly after the start. It unlocked mid race after the triple roll, even without any combos. Strange, but at least it’s doable on the latest version.

After about 40 combos, I restarted my mental counter (but not restarting the event), only counting the times that the announcer spoke it AND it showed the ribbon on-screen. The achievement finally popped at around 15 more of those.

Strangely, it happened during a double stunt in the FIRST jump of a potential combo...

Spent over half an hour doing 30+ combos as tails on Somba, and in my frustration i checked all of the comments, and found @yukito kaminari 's post, and with every jump i did an upwards trick first followed by a sidewards trick, for 4 tricks total between the two jumps, and i got it within 4 tricks.
Maybe it only counts if you put two tricks with each jump, or only counts if you do two unique tricks per jump (as in twice in the combo), but either way i recommend you follow their advice and do multiple tricks, if it's not popping for you

Finally I got this offline on a new savegame after I manually installed the old Day 1 patch on my 360, which I download from the web. Funny thing: it unlocked after precisely 6 stunt combos now. They are really patching crap together. Most time I got nothing, then solely the sticker and at last the counter was inaccurate... Thumbs up for your solution of course, think that's the easiest way to go. ;-)

I ended up unlocking it by deleting the updates and playing offline. Funny thing, it unlocked at around 6 combos lol

I just got it on Samba Studios time trial using Sonic. I wasn't counting but I reckon I did more than 10, most of them were just great combos, I had a couple of awesomes. I was connected to Live and so had the title update.

So this is definitely NOT patched but it is most certainly glitchy as Fudge ... Tried this solution on Samba Studios 6-8 months ago with no luck, despite the fact that I not only did more than 40 combo stunts but as it didn't pop I even started to count the times the speaker said "Great Combo" (it's not every time it's written on the screen that he says it) but when I reached 20 I simply gave up ... today I tried again, & again I did more than 10 combo stunts without it popping & decided to focus on beating the Expert Ghost instead while still trying to count the number of times he said Great Combo, before I reached 10 the achievement popped ... freaking weird headspin

Start up your game with 2 controllers plugged it and go to CUSTOM GAME then select LOCAL.

Next go to the second game mode called BATTLE ARENA and from here select NEON DOCKS.

Smaller characters with smaller cars is better but all can do the stunt combos. I used PUDDING

When the game starts turn around and there is a RAMP on the BACK WALL. Do a stunt off the BACK RAMP and you will see 2 RAMPS in the MIDDLE, do the second flip off one of these ramps (which ever side you are on). You will get a combo doing this method and just RINSE AND REPEAT 10x.

There is a time limit but you will not need the whole time.

EDIT: If negative please indicate why to help better the solution. Thanks

EDIT 2: This achievement has been buggy for some players. You might need to try more than 10x to get achievement.

EDIT 3: I managed to unlock it first try by removing the title update and played offline in a fresh game. -oGARY86-

I don't know either, doing double stunts followed by another for the combo seemed to help so I'll try doing that with your guide for the sticker which I obviously cannot transfer. Still regardless I am most relieved to get this at last.

World tour: Twilight engine cup: Curien mansion

Race as you normally would until you hit lap 3. Now you will notice you get a big air jump and immediately go down into the cellar and get another jump. Do one flip for each and there is 1/10 super combos done.
Now you must drive back up the stairs and do this 9 more times. What makes this annoying is the game automatically sets you on track so you will have to turn around 3 times thanks to the game holding our hand before you can get another combo off. Repeat this for about 5 minutes for the achievement.

Alternatively you can play time trial mode and go around the map 10 times pulling off stunt combos. A good stage for stunt combos would be the Jsrf stage on top of the buildings as you can pull many tricks off near the beginning. Whatever works for you.

It's also easier as there's no time limit, no opponents and if you mess up you don't have to worry about running out of laps.

The sticker/trophy will unlock during the event, so you don't need to pause and quit until you hear 'Stickers unlocked' and see the trophy pop.
