Support NeoGAF

[Kai Dracon]

Uh...

Okay, please forgive me if I'm missing something bloody obvious. My brain is swollen from battering my way through Final Route. But I just cleared all five races there, and I do not have 100% Xploration.

I've won all races I can see in:

Basic Route
Advanced Route
Special Route
Duel Route
Expert Route
Master Route
Final Route

And yes, I finished the Pac Man battle.

Also, the goal for Final Route 5 still has a question mark (on the right) for an unclaimed prize.

What?

 

[hyp]

did you complete all of world xplorer without using nitrous support? that could explain why it isn't 100%.

 

[neptunes]

or without any collisions?

 

[Kai Dracon]

I know that the no-collisions achievment / requirement is only for Single Race mode. Also, yeah, there are a couple races with Nitrous support turned on, but I've been told that there's an icon shown in Online Battle to indicate whether or not you cleared Xplorer with no nitrous support. So it must be possible to clear it with support?

Blah - I'll go re-do the support races and test this, but there don't seem to be enough to equal a whole 11% of the map.

You don't have to get 100% Xplorer to unlock the gold ring icon in online play(the final ? reward). You just have to beat Route 5 without nitrous support turned on. I know because I didn't clear out advanced route before finishing final route and got the reward.

I just went back and re-did a race without Nitrous Support and the Xplorer completion went up by .1%. Whee, so I just have to do those races over again. Really kind of crappy of them, to be so petty about that and not actually give a warning in-game. (Just the warning for cute icons.)

IIRC, you can check which races you have done with Nitrous support off, if under the track info box, there is a little star in the green rectangle when you are moving across the Xplorer map.

Im pretty sure that will help you find the races you used Nitrous Support on. If it has a star, you completed it without Nitrous support, if it doesnt...you need to race it again.

As for the final two ? icons, i believe its these 2.

Spoiler

Xploration Complete!: 80 Points
Congratulations! You've won all 235 races. Boast to your friends about it.

Final Battle!!: 50 points
Congratulations! Enter a race only available for the ultimate Ridge Racers!

If it not these 2, you will unlock the Laurel Leaf once you have gone back and weeded out the races you used nitrous support on. One of the "?" was supposed to be a different colour variation of the Monstrous, pink with grey hexagons. There is also Reiko's message 5 on final route race 2 or 3. (use a car you won online)

Hope that helps, cant boot the game up to check exactly, but those are the achievments it could be, and a way to possibly check which races need to be redone "proper" ;p

How much % are you on btw?

Great game tbh.

 

[Apharmd Battler]

This game really starts to tax you around 60% through! DAMN there is a lot to unlock in this game. But I do like it!! :lol

How much % are you on btw?

Great game tbh.

I'm now at 90% - still re-doing races. The only one I'm bummed about is a hard race on Special that always gave me trouble. I'll see how that goes.

I'd add you to my flist on Live btw, but it says your friends list is full, d'oh.
