How to unlock the The fastest racer in the galaxy achievement

    The races aren't incredibly difficult and the A.I. is pretty forgiving. As long as you choose a good racer (personally I stuck with Anakin for the entire first and second circuits, then switched to "Bullseye" Navior) and you're upgrading your pod, you should be able to come in 1st in every race.

    There are a couple races where the difficulty spikes, but the only race that really gave me any trouble was Abyss in the Invitational Podracing Circuit. There's a section soon after the starting line where the track becomes split-leveled. To have the best chance of winning this race, STAY ON THE TOP LEVEL!!! Feel free to slow way, way down to ensure you don't fall to the bottom level. If you do fall, you'll be on a very difficult section of track and will automatically be dropped from 1st to 4th. By the time you get out of this part, you'll most likely be in the bottom middle of the pack, possibly as far down as 9th or 10th.

    Again, slow down on that first split-level section. Later in the race, the track splits into two levels again, but both follow the same path, so it's not necessary to stay on top.

    I hope this helps.

    Virulent CruxJust in case anyone was using the debug method, one additional thing to note is that it seems to be possible to do this in more then just one sitting. My game hard locked, so I had to restart it. Instead of deleting my primary profile, I deleted the “RRTANGENTABACUS” profile and reentered everything. Then I backed out and selected my primary file, entered in the debug menus code, and continued on. I do not recommend it, as it really does not take that long, but it does seem to work if needed.

    Pedle ZelnipHonestly Abyss wasn't that bad, once you know that you just have to go slow when you're on top it's pretty straightforward (so big thumbsup to the solution here). Got 1st place on my 2nd try.

    You can use cheats and complete each race very quickly using debug mode 6
    I can confirm you can keep the cheats on for every race unlike the PS4
    I go over everything to do in my video

    Great guide for the most part, but your explanation of how to boost is poorly worded at best.

    I was stuck on that part, and for anyone watching this vid to get all the achievements, to boost push up on the left stick until the powerbar next to the speedo fills up and the dot is yellow then press A.

    PS...I didn't downvote by the way.

    If anyone is doing this method, buy the max acceleration upgrade ASAP..

    You won't even need to turn down the difficulty every time like he mentions in the video.

    Saves a ton of time.

    You can use the cheat menu and adjust all the settings.

    Choose Tournament and when the Select Player screen appears, choose any 'empty' slot. When the Initials Screen appears, enter the passcode holding down the RT button and pressing the LB Button to enter the following:

    R R T A N G E N T A B A C U S

    You must hold RT when you highlight end, and press LB the letters OK will appear in the corner of the screen if entered properly. Release RT and enter your initials.

    Start a race, and press Start to pause, at the pause menu, enter:

    Left, Down, Right, Up on the D-Pad and a new option: Game Cheats will appear.

    You can change on to invincibility, your top speed and the AI settings. Does not affect achievements

    Kiba Zolo 17WARNING DO NOT DO THIS METHOD WITHOUT BACKING OUT AND SELECTING A NEW EMPTY PROFILE.
    If you do this method without selecting a new profile it will immediately unlock all characters making several character unlocking achievements missable. If you already made the mistake of doing this like I did. Erase all your profiles then on the player select screen press A and up to erase all data.
