This guide will help you unlock all 31 achievements in the game.
Win a match against the CPU using a Super Charge: Score the final goal of the match (the 6th) with the “A” button (Xbox layout controller), after filling the super shot bar.
Complete the Pimbolas Arena: Win all 3 arena matches; there are no other requirements, just win all 3. All continues can be used.
Spin the ball 50 times in a single match: Hit the ball 50 times in the same match using the LT and RT buttons.
Complete the Beach Arena: Win all 3 arena matches; there are no other requirements, just win all 3. All continues can be used.
Score 30 own goals: Don’t worry about creating a strategy for it, and don’t intentionally score own goals. You’ll end up doing it unintentionally sooner or later, and it will even happen quickly. The game is too frantic for it not to occur. Focus on the other achievements.
Score a goal with the very first shot of the match: To make this achievement easier, when the ball hits the table on the kickoff, control it by holding RB, then, quickly pulling the stick up and down, release RB at the right moment, displacing the defenders. It’s not that difficult.
Win 10 matches against the CPU: Self-explanatory.
Complete the Seu Zeh Arena: Win all 3 arena matches; there are no other requirements, just win all 3. All continues can be used.
Win a match without conceding a goal: You have to win a match 6-0 in arcade or quick match mode. If you’re having trouble doing this, select quick match mode, set the difficulty to ‘very easy’, and turn off any power-ups in the menu; it will make your life easier.
Lose a match without scoring a goal: Simply lose a match in arcade or quick match mode by a score of 0-6. If you want this to happen faster, select a match in quick match mode, set it to the hardest difficulty level, and let the CPU shoot at your goal without interfering. If the CPU happens to score an own goal, or you score a goal unintentionally, reset the match until you manage to lose 0-6.
Complete the Moon Arena: Win all 3 arena matches; there are no other requirements, just win all 3. All continues can be used.
Win a match without spinning: To make it easier, choose quick match mode, set the difficulty to ‘very easy’, disable ‘spinning’ in the menu, and deactivate all power-ups before the match. With these settings, you won’t be able to spin with LT and RT, even accidentally. Win the match by any score and the achievement will pop up on your screen.
Complete the Ice Arena: Win all 3 arena matches; there are no other requirements, just win all 3. All continues can be used.
Hit the ball with the LT and RT buttons 100 times in the same match. A tip is to play in quick match mode, disabling the power-ups that hinder you when spinning the ball. Examples: ice (which freezes you), fire (which burns you), bubble (which traps you), coconut (which makes you dizzy), and so on. The slime ball is good for doing multiple spins, as it splits apart each time it’s kicked.
Complete Arcade Mode: You must win all 3 matches in each arena, regardless of how many continues you use.
Complete the Lava Arena: Win all 3 arena matches; there are no other requirements, just win all 3. All continues can be used.
Win 25 matches against the CPU: There are no restrictions, you just need to win 25 matches in any mode. But if you want to do it faster and easier, play in quick match mode and set it to ‘very easy’.
Block 5 opponent Super Charges in a single match: To stop your opponent’s super shot, you must press the analog stick to jump (clicking down the left and/or right analog sticks like buttons), right when your opponent performs the special shot. In other words, when you see the super shot animation forming, press the analog stick. If you do this at the right timing, you’ll become a master at blocking.
Melt 20 players with the Fire Ball in a single match: In arcade mode, this is possible to do in the Lava Arena. In quick match mode, you can do it in any arena, and the trick is to disable all power-ups except the lava ball. If you kick the lava ball with the spinning kick, you will be burned; if you take a strong kick from the opponent, you will be burned; if you try to control the ball with LB and RB, you will be burned. In other words, it’s not very difficult for this to happen.
Prevent 30 goals using the Goalkeeper power-up: You can achieve this by using the goalkeeper power-up, which is symbolized by a glove. The goalkeeper glove temporarily blocks the opponent’s shots, but it’s not invincible. You don’t need to make all 30 saves in the same match; it’s a cumulative achievement. If you want to do it faster, go to quick match mode and disable all power-ups except the goalkeeper glove.
Freeze your own players 20 times in a single match: To freeze yourself, you must kick the ice cube with the spinning kick (LT and RT). To do it quickly, put it in quick match mode, disable all power-ups except the ice cube. Then, keep kicking like crazy with LT and RT, the achievement will appear without much effort.
Win 20 matches in a row: The easiest way to do this is to go into quick match mode, set the difficulty to ‘very easy’, and disable all power-ups. It doesn’t require much skill, but it does require patience and strategic play.
Win 50 matches against the CPU: It’s a cumulative achievement, so if you keep playing for any other objective, like finishing arcade mode, eventually you’ll get all 50 wins. But if you want to get them faster, go to quick match mode, set it to ‘very easy’ and disable the power-ups.
Unlock every common character: To achieve this goal, you must unlock all 3 characters in each arena (18 characters in total). And to unlock 3 characters in any arena, you must finish all 3 matches in each arena conceding a MAXIMUM of 8 goals. Example: Match 1 won 6-2; Match 2 won 6-3; Match 3 won 6-3. Tip: count the goals you conceded in the first and second matches, and in the third match, keep track so you don’t exceed 8 in total. If at any point in the last match you concede nine goals in the arena, restart the match using a continue. You can use as many continues as you want, as long as you concede a maximum of 8 goals in those 3 matches.
Better description:
6-2; 6-4; 6-2 = conceded 8 goals, unlocks all 3 arena characters at once.
6-2; 6-5; 6-2 = conceded 9 goals, will unlock a maximum 2 of the 3 characters.
Platinum the Pimbolas Arena: To achieve this, you’ll need to reach perfection, winning all 3 matches in this arena with a score of 6-0. But there’s a trick you can (and should) use: if you concede a goal during a match, you can restart and try again for the 6-0 score. As long as you don’t get a game over by using all your continues, you can restart as many times as you want.
Practice your wall shots a lot, as well as “dribbling” while holding the ball and quickly moving up and down your attacking line. You’ll need to be at an expert level of game control to get this achievement. Have courage!
