Hi-yaaaa!
Destroy 10 objects in a single race while playing as Petunia Pretztail.
20
-This is one you will probably have to try on. Just be Petunia Preztail and do the first race (forward). Go slow and make sure to hit all of the chairs, barrels, sand castles, etc. It's simple but you will not get it without trying (more than likely)
King Roario Award
Win all Challenge Events and races in a single game.
50
-Another self explanatory one; Just win all of the races and challenge events. I would recommend doing a "Short" mode.
Int'l Piñata of Mystery
Use each power-up at least once in a single game.
20
-I'm currently unsure which map has all of the power-ups and where they can be found. Will be updated when I discover it. For now, hoever, just use all of the power-ups you get and hopefully you'll unlock it.
Coulda Been a Contender
Win 1 race.
15
-This is another extremely easy achievement. Just win a race.
Get to Know Everyone
Finish the game in any place with each of the 8 characters.
20
-Just complete a game with each of the characters. Personally, I used notepad to document which ones I had used and which ones I hadn't. This way, I was able to do it quickly. I also did "Short" mode.
Girl Power
As a female character, finish a game while never losing to a male character.
30
-Play as one of the 4 female characters (Hailey Horstachio, Petunia Pretztail, Francine Fudgehog, or Florence Fizzlybear) and don't lose to one of the 4 male characters (Hudson Horstachio, Franklin Fizzlybear, Fergy Fudgehog, or Paulie Preztail).
Boy Band
As a male character, finish a game while never losing to a female character.
30
-Play as one of the 4 male characters (Hudson Horstachio, Franklin Fizzlybear, Fergy Fudgehog, or Paulie Preztail) and don't lose to one of the 4 female characters (Hailey Horstachio, Petunia Pretztail, Francine Fudgehog, or Florence Fizzlybear).
Rashberry Gluttony
Collect more than 1,000 pieces of candy while playing as Fergy Fudgehog.
30
-I managed to get this acheivement in 1 long game and a few short ones here and there. It calculates in your Scoring Candies along with your challenge event candies. This is a fairly simple one to get, but just requires an hour or two.
Popularity Contest
Complete a game with all 4 characters playing as Hudson Horstachio.
10
-Get a group of friends (or a group of 4 all with mics) and have everyone be Hudson Horstachio.

5
-Play as Paulie Preztail and avoid getting hit by a Fiesta Missle.
No Wipeouts
Never fall down in a single race while playing as Franklin Fizzlybear.
15
-Play as Franklin Fizzlybear and be extra careful. Never hesitate. Don't fall down, whatever you do.
Mama's Boy
Lose to Fergy Fudgehog while playing as Francine Fudgehog.
10
-If you have a second controller, this will be fairly easy. Log your first controller in as Fergy Fudgehog and log your second in as Francine Fudgehog. Don't touch the second controller and it will fade out. Just get last place (as first controller) and the achievement will unlock.
Bear Hug
Never use a power-up on Franklin Fizzlybear while playing as Florence Fizzlybear.
10
-If you have a second controller, this will be fairly easy. Log your first controller in as Florence Fizzlybear and log your second one in as Franklin Fizzlybear. Don't touch the second controller and it will fade out. Make sure not to use any power-ups the whole race and the achievement will unlock.
Scene Stealer
Beat Hudson Horstachio while playing as Hailey Horstachio.
10
-If you have a second controller, this will be fairly easy. Log your first controller in as Hailey Horstachio and log your second one in as Hudson Horstachio. Don't touch the second controller and it will fade out. Do your absolute best and win a race. This will trigger the achievement to unlock.
Classic Gamer Reward
Enter the classic gamers code while on the START screen. For a hint, go right into your manual…
10
-On the starting screen, enter the following: ↑ ↑ ↓ ↓ ← → ← → B A
Keep Your Friends Close
Complete a multiplayer game offline.
10
-For this, all you need to do is use your second controller. Have somebody play with you. If no one is willing to, just tap your second controller every 10-15 seconds so it won't timeout. After completing the whole match, the achievement will unlock. I would recommend doing a "Short" game if you don't have another person playing.
**Note** This CAN'T be done on Xbox Live. Like stated, it must be done offline (Where you click on "Play at Home")
Pacifist
Win a race without using a Fiesta Missile, Colored Water Bomb, or Smoke Bomb.
20
-Another simple and self explanatory achievement. Don't use any of those power-ups ![Wink [;)]](/emoticons/emotion-5.gif)
Scenic Route
Win a race without using any shortcuts.
20
-Don't use any shortcuts. As simple as that ![Smile [:)]](/emoticons/emotion-1.gif)
Artful Dodger
Avoid the snowball in Snow-bowl Dodgeball.
20
-Don't get run over by the snowball and at the end of the game, the 'chievo will unlock.
Catch It if You Can
Play a game with anyone who has this achievement to earn it. Then, you can “spread” it too.
20
-This is a viral achievement. It seems like most people have it by now, so just join (or host) and Xbox Live match. As soon as it begins, the achievement will unlock.
Making Friends
Play a game over Xbox LIVE, or invite someone to an online game.
10
-I just invited a friend in to my match and it unlocked.
Share and Share Alike
Play a game with someone who hasn’t unlocked a Challenge Event you have unlocked.
10
-This is pretty much lucky. You will get this on your first online match (more than likely).
Eaglair Eye Award
Find and use all the shortcuts in the races.
20
-All of the short-cuts have been found. Go here for the guide.
Sticky Feet
Use the Buzzlegum Honey Slick power-up 10 times.
20
-This achievement is throughout all of your races. It should only take 2 or 3 races to get this.
Flutterscotch Quickness
Use the Flutterscotch Wings power-up to overtake an opponent.
10
-Get the Flutterscoth Wings and let someone pass you. Just as you catch up on them, use it and pass them.
Quick Like a Bunnycomb
Hit 3 speed strips in a single race.
15
-This is one of the easiest achievements. Just focus on hitting the Speed Strips and you will get this (provided you hit 3 of them)
Redhott Racer
Finish every race.
50
-This includes the race tracks going Reverse, as well. Just play all of the races normally. After doing so, there will be an option to play them reverse. Do a "Long" game twice (once on forward and once on reverse) and you will get the achievement.
Stuffed!
Get more than 99 candies in any single Challenge Event.
20
-This achievement is fairly difficult. You will have your best chance on one of the raisant games. Those seem to be the easiest, although personal preference may vary. Just keep working at it.
Professor Pester Award
Hit every player with a power-up in a single race.
20
-This is pretty much luck. Just use all the attack power-ups as you get them (except for the missle; use those wisely) and you should get it fairly quickly.
Squished!
Jump and ground pound each of the other players at least once in Raisant Stomp.
10
-I got this one on my first try. Just press A to jump and land on the other characters once. This must all be in one game.
Seeing Double
Finish a game while playing as the same Piñata as at least 1 other opponent.
10
-You can do this with the double controller trick or you can get it online with other people. (If you get 4 of them with mics, make sure they're all Hudson Horstachio so you can unlock "Popularity Contest" as well.)
Loaded Bases
Hit the target 4 times in a row in Swing for the Stars.
20
-Self Explanatory. Hit the Target 4 times in a row.
Aiming Artist
Hit the farthest target at least 3 times in 1 Launching Loathers game.
20
-This one is fairly easy. I got it without trying. Just lead the far target a tad and you should get it. Don't aim for the larger one.
Tricky Treats
Destroy at least 25 pumpkins in a single game of Messy Mayhem.
20
-There is no real strategy to this achievement; just common sense. Tap A as fast as you can in an attempt to hit as many pumpkins as possible. Avoid the other Ruffians at all costs. One thing I've found helpful is to use your second controller, but don't touch it. That way, you have one less ruffian to look out for.
Do You Feel Lucky, Piñata?
Win a game of Short Fuse! without the Loather ever detonating in your hands.
20
-For me, getting this achievmeent took me a few tries. You just have to be fortunate enough to start out with the bomb several times. When you do this, you have the best chance of getting the most candies because you have the bomb the longest. When the controller starts vibrating a lot, throw the bomb away. If a bomb has been passed around many times, prepare to get rid of it immediately.
Strike!
Get a strike in Bouncy Bowling.
20
-This is just pure luck, although I got it without even knowing about the achievement. Just try you're best to aim right down the middle of your own pins. If you can't seem to do it that way, attempt angling it the slightest bit so it could bounce off one of the side walls and get a more efficient sweep that way.
Gassy Gusts!
Get your ship all the way to the finish line in Burps Ahoy!
10
-For this achievement, all you have to do is win a game of Burps Ahoy. The button mashing games are very simple so you shouldn't have any problem with this one.
Don’t Be Left in the Dark
Knock each of the other players out of the light in a single game of Spotlight Mania.
20
-Just focus on doing this in Spotlight Mania. It's not very hard but may be difficult if you're trying to win at the same time.
Megaton
Use the Fiesta Missile power-up on each of the 8 characters.
30
-There is no real way you can "work" to get this achievement. The closest thing you could do is let each of them pass you and unleash, and continue in different games until it unlocked. I wouldn't recommend that, however.
Social Flutterscotch
Finish the game in first place with each of the 8 characters.
50
-Like stated, win the challenge with each of the characters. Write down which ones you have won with.
Rainbow of Piñatas
Play each of the 8 characters in 1 of their alternate colors.
20
-I used my second controller to be the same species of pinata so that the first controller would be varianted. Right down which ones you have done the variants with to make it easier on yourself.
Practice Makes Perfect
Play the game for 5 hours.
20
-This one took me about 5 and a half hours because of the menu screens. Be in the actual game mode for 5 hours and this achievement will unlock.
Host with the Most
Host 3 games over Xbox LIVE.
20
-Another simple one. Host 3 games. It will be more enjoyable if you get some friends in the game, as well. It would also unlock you another achievement ;)
Party Crasher
Win 3 games over Xbox LIVE where you are not the host.
20
-Self Explanatory. Win 3 games off-host. I would try to get a friend to host 3 games for you. It could unlock him an achievement, as well.
So Awesome!
You, the master of unlocking.
10
-Unlock all bonus content. As you place in the games, you unlock bonus content. Just keep playing and eventually you'll get it all. This isn't proven, but I would try to vary your game styles up.
