    Using this pure "accidental" glitch demonstrated in the video below will for some reason net you this and "Mercury's Touch" in less than a feet. The less of your life you waste on this mess, the better.

    Thanks to CATigerman for providing steps!
    "When you wreck you pause the game, then quit, select new race and it will be glitched."

    Also worth noting, it seems that have you have to lose a bit of your health before crashing for this to work, in other words don't just ram toward the wall the first you do.

    planting42Don't see those ships that are in the vid anywhere but it still works regardless. Took about 4 of the slow mo countdowns before I got it to let me 'win' and yes, mashing A makes you levitate and go from (in my case 3/3 to 3/1) and after giving up and trying it legit, it unlocked on my 2nd 'real' race. Its really buggy when you glitch it so don't expect it to pop immediately.

    I did this achievement last. I was already aware of the game mechanics and did it legitimately on a 2nd attempt.

    I recommend avoiding any glitch and just do it for real. It's not that bad.

    I couldn't get the other guys method of the glitch to work.

    All you need to do is pause the game a second before you hit a wall. If done correctly you'll feel your controller rumble.
    I'm able to replicate this 100% of the time.

    I couldn't do it there method one time in 45 minutes.

    No you don't need to take damage.

    Tide44Thanks was able to do this after three tries, what was different for me was on my third attempt I help back on the left stick and mashed cn_A, the gates still opened but after about 2 seconds closed. and then I got all enemies defeated message smile

    pezboybenStill works today. Took me a few tries and I didn't get it on my first slow countdown but my second one triggered it. I didn't actually crash into the gate, I kind of floated for a bit and after maybe 30 seconds I died and the achievement popped.

    There are 3 ways to earn this achievement, two glitches which are the easiest and the legitimate way.It may take multiple attempts to activate these glitches don't give up after a couple of tries.

    Exploit 1
    As soon as the race starts head towards the wall and about 1 second before hitting the wall press Pause. If you have timed it right your controller vibrate.

    Exploit 2
    As soon as you start the first race, run over the obstacle to decrease your health then smash into the first wall.

    Pause as your rider is mid air then Select Quit

    Go to Start A New Race

    If successful you will notice that the Count Down Timer is in now in slow motion and when the race begins you will automatically slam into the gates

    If when you start the new race the count down timer is not in slow motion then the glitch hasn't worked.

    Legitimate Way
    Select a race, health potions are thrown from the crowd when your healths drops out of the green zone. in order for the track not to get littered with these potions keep your health as high as possible. Therefore instead of choosing one of the hectic short races, where everyone is smashing into each other. Select a longer race, stay out of fray as much as you can, and time your corners so you you aren't hitting the walls.

    It will take a mixture of practice, luck and good timing.

    Normally i do not condone using glitches, but when a game this bad is released the quicker it can be completed then the quicker it can be uninstalled and hidden from view forever
