This guide is meant to help you obtain 100% achievements.

MORE ACHIEVEMENTS ARE EXPECTED WHEN MORE DLC RELEASE.


Time to 100%: ~20 hours
Missables: None.
Multiplayer: 2
Difficulty: 2/10 - you can use the "easy" difficulty.

Not all cars are required, only one secret vehicle is, and the singleplayer career mode does not need to be 100%'ed.

Currently as of 22/10/2023 the achievements "Drift Champ" and "Look, Mom! No track! for 10 drift master mode races and 5 waypoint modes respectively are bugged. You can play the "Mix Mode" in multiplayer once you met the prerequisite to unlock these, and vote/play 1 match of Drift Master/Waypoint.

When you first launch the game, the tutorial starts. Complete this & you will get your first achievement.

Rookie
Complete the tutorial.

There are 2 achievements related to online multiplayer.

You only need to play 10 matches. You are not required to win. The match can start with 2 players, so if there's no one playing, just a friend/partner will do.

Solo
Complete a Quick Race in Multiplayer mode.


International license
Complete 10 races in any online mode.

Achievements specifically tied directly to the career mode.

Well begun…
Complete the Unleashed Goal of an Event in Career mode.


The unleashed goal is a somewhat more challenging goal to beat, however it is still quite easy. Reach one of these and your achievement will pop.

Challenge accepted!
Accept the challenge of a Challenge Event in Career mode.


There are purple "Challenge Pads", which might require you to do a specific thing. Accept it, then complete the challenge. You can complete tracks you have already done, however AFAIK they need to be done in the specified area of the challenge.

I'm in charge here!
Complete all goals of an area in Career mode.


You can track your progress up top. This should be easily done by completing the few pads that are in the first area in the career mode.

The Octopus
Defeat the first Boss in Career mode.


The Scorpion
Defeat the second Boss in Career mode.


The Terrordactyl
Defeat the third Boss in Career mode.


The Yeti
Defeat the fourth Boss in Career mode.


The Nitro Bot
Defeat the fifth Boss in Career mode.


All of the boss fights require you to hit targets while driving. It is mostly not too bad, but make sure you don't miss any of the targets. If you let the bar charge up, you only have a few seconds until you lose/are eliminated.

Extreme conditions
Complete the goal of an Extreme Event in Career mode.


Once you beat the final boss, and the "story" mode, you will unlock a new set of events. These are the "Extreme" events. Some of the time trials can be pretty rough, however if you do a race/elimination, they are somewhat trivial, at least on the easiest difficulty.

All achievements related to racing in any sort of way. All of the races in the singleplayer campaign also add up to the total.

Now try online
Win a Quick Race on Hard AI difficulty.


You have to go to settings in the menu [X on controller], and switch the difficulty to Hard. I recommend doing it after you have upgraded a vehicle you're comfortable with, as the AI can be a bit annoying on Hard. Just complete any quick race, on a map you're comfortable with.

Globetrotter
Complete a race in every environment (except the Track Room).


There's the Arcade, Backyard, Mini Golf, Gas Station/Diner & Dinosaur Museum environments. You should get this naturally while playing the singleplayer campaign.

Versatile riding
Complete a race in every offline mode.


AFAIK, this means Drift Master, Quick Race, Elimination, Waypoint and the regular races.


Drift champ
Complete 10 races in Drift Master mode.


This achievement is a bit bugged. The way to do it is to queue multiplayer, mix mode, and pick "Drift Master mode". If you've already done 10 Drift Master matches, the achievement should pop on completion.

It's me you have to beat
Complete 10 races in Quick Race mode.


Immortal
Complete 10 races in Elimination mode.


Look, Mom! No track!
Complete 5 races in Waypoint mode.


This achievement is a bit bugged. The way to do it is to queue multiplayer, mix mode, and pick "Waypoint mode". If you've already done 5 waypoint matches, the achievement should pop on completion.


The "Podium" means top 3. The races in offline count as well.

Masterful!
Reach the podium 25 times in any mode (not unlockable in Split Screen mode).


Shapeshifter
Reach the podium with a Rocket, Off-Road, Balanced, Drifter, Swift, and Heavy Duty vehicle.

Terror of the road
Reach the podium 100 times (not unlockable in Split Screen mode).



Acrobat
Perform 20 jumps with any vehicle.


Out of control
Perform 10 lateral dashes with any vehicle.


Drifting teacher
Drift for 500,000 centimeters (196,850 inches) in total.


Like lightning!
Use the Boost for 30 minutes in total.


These should all come naturally while playing the game.

There are several achievements that are tied together when it comes to the vehicle, shop and money achievements.

If you head to garage, you will get a few menus. The most important ones are the Collection, SHOP and the HOT WHEELS SPIN.

First of all, you will sometimes get spins from leveling up which can be used there, or they will be rewarded from UNLEASHED MISSIONS.

Using your spins you get upgrade items/coins/cars. You can get super treasure hunt cars.

Spin the wheel
Spin the Hot Wheels™ Spin for the first time.


If you head to the shop, there will be a big selection of vehicles. The shop refreshes every 45 minutes for free, however you can re-roll it for 350 coins. You can get all of the Super Treasure Hunt vehicles in the item shop, & they cost 6000 each.

Purchasing various vehicles from the shop should get you these achievements:

Shopping time!
Make a purchase at the Shop.


Spendthrift
Buy 25 vehicles at the Shop.


…Is half done
Get half of the Collection vehicles (DLC excluded).


Eagle eye
Get all the Super Treasure Hunt vehicles.


Getting all the Super Treasure Hunt vehicles are basically an RNG grind. I kept refreshing the shop, while I was grinding singleplayer 1 lap courses to get ~1500 coins per race. This was once I had completed the singleplayer.

By the time you complete the previous achievements, you should have earned this a long time ago:

A little nest egg
Earn 100,000 Coins in total.



You can upgrade your vehicles by going to your collection, and selecting your car of choice. You have the "Powered" tier and the "Ultimate" tier that can be upgraded to with either coins or upgrade items. Under these tiers are skills which can be bought with skill items. You will have to fully max one car. Don't worry, you get plenty of items from the singleplayer to do so.

Beyond the limit
Upgrade the type of any vehicle.


Perfectionist
Upgrade the type of a vehicle to Ultimate.


Extra gear
Equip any vehicle with a skill.


Spoiled for choice
Buy all the skills of a vehicle.


Better too much
Equip any duplicate vehicle with 7 skills.


You can equip the skills you unlock by just clicking on them. To equip 7 skills, you need to equip 4 of the same color (in example, 4 handling skills) which will add an extra skill. Just buy any car duplicate from the item shop to specifically do this achievement.


The Secret Vehicles are rewards for doing UNLEASHED MISSIONS. The easiest one to get, which is the only one you really need for the achievement is the one for reaching a new Prestige, which you need to do anyways. Head to your profile in the menu, unleashed missions, and claim any secret vehicle once the mission for it is complete.

Can you keep a secret?
Obtain a 'Secret' vehicle.

All of the miscellaneous achievements are easy.

UNLEASHED GOAL = A harder goal in the singleplayer career mode
UNLEASHED MISSION = Various tasks/challenges to complete on your profile.

Enter the track builder mode, make it a course instead of circuit, put down a start, finish, then you can validate your track. Finish the track & the achievement should pop.

Tools of the trade
Get all the Track Builder Modules.


I got all of the track builder modules as I completed the game. I am unaware if there are specific races you need to do in singleplayer, but if you haven't gotten this, I can recommend going for more singleplayer missions & the UNLEASHED goal of them.

Stage animal
Validate a track in Track Builder mode.


UNLEASHED MISSIONS are found by going to your profile in the menu. After a few races at most you should get your first claim-able mission.

Mission complete
Complete your first Unleashed Mission.


To prestige in the game, you need to hit level 30. You'll get a secret vehicle/complete an unleashed mission doing so. This will unlock these two achievements:

You're good at this!
Reach level 20.


Magic trick
Reach a new Prestige level.
