To get the achievement you must win the Championship, even if you don't win any races.

How to check cups won


Main tips


Some extra tips


If this helps you, leave a thumbs up!

This achievement can be a pain if you go into it unprepared.
You see,the problem is you win the expert cup by getting a podium finish (1st, 2nd or 3rd) and the cup looks the same for every finishing position.

So i suggest as soon as you unlock expert difficulty and are ready to tackle Expert GP,start on the first GP and keep playing it until you place 1st on the podium.
Or at the very least write down the ones you have come 1st on,or you will find yourself replaying them over an over trying to find the GP you need 1st on.

Yes,this did happen to me and i got very frustrated and cursed myself for not making a note in the first place.

Hello Folks,

Excellent tips all around here from previous guides. Acceleration mod being a great option... in my opinion... Sonic, Gum, Shadow are the most superior. How to check which GP cups you have gotten 1st podium, etc...

Now I'd like to add something that helped me "cheese" it a little bit for those struggling to beat the AI in EXPERT. This works for all "Race" types events including World Tour Races, World Tour Boost Races, World Tour Battle Races, Grand Prix Races... Basically any event that you are competing against all 10 other characters.

If you have a couple extra controllers (i have total of 4), hook'em up and join them to the game as guest. It basically removes 3 contenders off the race and I am not entirely sure why, but I was never able to fail at coming 1st place after doing that. I mean, the difficulty curve seems to be humongous after adding the 3 inanimate players split-screen and i cant really tell why... but the expert event becomes quite easy.

There is ALSO the added advantage that the three players you add to the event will level up a bit on each event, effectively allowing you to speed up the process of unlocking MODS that may help you get closer to 100% game completion. So make sure you do not add a STAR level character, and always add a character that can level up.

Hope this helps others with this game that can become a bit tough at times.

You're going to want to use a fast character with a decent Boost to really fly through these GPs. I personally used B.D. Joe's Balanced Mod; occasionally switching to Vyse or Shadow; it's a good balance of speed and boost and the handling is still good enough for most tracks (change to someone else for the harder tracks if you're not comfortable with only 3/6 for handling).

Expert difficulty Grand Prixs' AIs are tricky but if you know the tracks well you'll find they're not really as good as the S-Class AIs in the World Tour. Also, I noticed in the first five GPs, all of the opponents seem to get even results by the end of the four tracks, I won one GP once with only 27 pts! (But it seems that you'll find a few opponents who really perform in the Mirror GPs, these may take a few more tries but I still won one with 33 pts once, so you do have a fighting chance).

Try and be tenacious with weapons and your boost pad lines too; it really is the key to flying ahead. Plus, you'll only get the chance to have one All-Star per race - remember this if you need to save it 'til just before the end of the race to steal some positions.

Any other questions, leave a message.

I am reading here that some people seem to have trouble finding out which Cup has been finished as 1st place and which Cup not.

The problem is that you can win a Cup as 1st, 2nd and 3rd placed, but for the achievement you must win all Cups as 1st placed.
(It means you need the most points, not winnig every race as 1st)

So Cups with 2nd and 3rd place will not count and you have to do them again.

But what if you have won a Cup already as 2nd or 3rd and you don't know anymore which one it was?

Simple trick:
Look at the trophies, specifically at the letters. Directly under the letter is a small number that shows at which place you won the Cup.

Example:
I won the Emerald Cup on hard difficulty as 2nd place. For that I got a gold trophy (for beeing on the podium on hard). On that golden Emerald Trophy was the letter 'A' (again for beating the cup on hard).
Directly under the letter 'A' was a small number '2'.
All my other trophies had a small '1' on the letters, but this one had a small '2', because it was the only Cup I have not beaten as 1st placed.

This works as well with the letters 'C', 'B', and (most important ^^) the letter 'S' (for expert difficulty).

In short:
If you don't know anymore which Cup you have not beaten as 1st on expert, look at your platin 'S' trophies and check the small number under that 'S'.
If it shows a '1', then that Cup is beaten. If it shows any number except '1', then you have to beat that Cup again and be 1st placed for that Cup so it counts as beaten.

If you have a full set of platin 'S' trophies with little '1' numbers on them, the achievement is yours.
