Achievement Unlocked: Close Call

Beat a level on your last step.
Can be done purposely on any tutorial level. Pretty simple.

Credit goes to StingX2 for telling me once he found it.

EDIT: People have been constantly barraging me with messages saying the achievement is glitched, its not unlocking, and far more. My only tip with this is try doing them in earlier levels since they are far more simplistic and basic and if it doesn't unlock try another basic level. Some also suggest beating levels under par while doing such. It's best done earlier then later so that you don't experience these problems. That's all the info I've gathered on this glitch so far, I'll make sure to update this guide if more info appears.

The best way I have found to do this is on the first level.

Walk to the end but just before you step on the final square (endpoint), just keep turning until you have one energy left and facing the right way. It is really easy.

IF THIS ACHIEVEMENTS GLITCHES, follow these steps. I take no credit, I got this from the user Copyright on the XBox360Achievements.org forums:

"Go to Set 01 Level 12. Get your energy down to 2 before getting on the conveyor that takes you to the end point, then as I was being placed on the end point by the conveyor I hit the arrow key to turn and use my last energy. I tried twice, the first time hitting it while on the conveyor, I failed instantly, it has to be hit when on the end point before the dance animation begins."

So get on belt, as you land on exit square, BEFORE dance animation begins, hit a turn key. I just did this and can confirm it works and overrides the glitch.

Play any level, and stop a space away from the exit platform.

Now press space bar. Tinker will attempt to hit a switch and use 1 energy. Do this until your energy is at 1, and move onto the exit platform.

When you complete the level, this achievement will unlock.

This is by far the easiest way to do this. You are guaranteed to get it on your first try.
Start up Level 1 on the Tutorial Set
Push the block over so you can make it to the finish spot.
ow once you are there MAKE SURE YOU ARE ONE STEP AWAY FROM IT
Then just hit the Space Bar until your energy says 1 (your energy is down in the bottom left corner where your time and collectibles are. It looks like a bolt of lightning.)
Then once it's at one, take one step into the finish spot and the achievement is yours.
