Bang Bang Racing Achievement Guide
By Ophera
Bang Bang Racing is somewhat of a tribute to top-down racing games of years gone by. For those of you who are familiar with titles such as ‘Super Sprint’ or ‘Micro Machines’ for example, you’re set for a similar kind of experience, albeit updated to reflect today’s system capabilities and benchmarks. In my opinion, this game is incredibly fun and well worth the price tag, and everything the game sets out to achieve, it achieves with flying colours. The game controls perfectly, looks exceptional and sounds great.

Step One - Career Mode
The first step is to complete career mode. This will unlock all events in Championship mode, which will make things a lot easier. Progress through all the career mode ensuring you obtain at least a Bronze medal in each and earning yourself ‘Cup Collector’. You should also aim to get ‘Bang Bang Kaboom!’, by detonating 50 explosive barrels.
Step Two - Championship Mode
One you have completed Career mode, you should tackle Championship mode; this will give you ‘Rookie of The Year’, ‘Real Racer!’, ‘Slick on Slicks!’, ‘The Right Formula’ and lastly, ‘Lookin’ Good!’. You will earn these achievements for completing each of the four cups. The only exception is 'Lookin' Good', this is earned by completing a Championship without your health dropping below green in your health bar - this can be easily be done in the first cup.
Step Three - Split Screen Trophies
There are three trophies tied to the use of split-screen mode, those being ‘Perfect Host’, ‘Tis But A Scratch’ and ‘Bang Bang Party’. This should be done with a keyboard/mouse and controller; however any other input device should work. These can also be obtained during step two; with the exception of 'Bang Bang Party, which you need to complete10 Split-screen Championships. It does not matter if the second player finishes the race or championship, it will still count.
Step Four - Time Trial Mode
With the previous steps complete, its time to move onto the most time consuming achievement of all, 'Beat The Clock'. ‘Beat The Clock’ consumes more time than the game's other eleven trophies combined. You will either grind it out or just give up on it.
Achievements Guide
Cup Collector
Finish every event in Career mode in Bronze, Silver or Gold places!


Career mode is made up of 4 stages; N-Dura, Evo GT, Protech and lastly Apex - with each stage comprising of the various event types Bang Bang Racing has to offer. These include standard/reverse track races, elimination races, time-trials and championships. Career mode is actually quite short and shouldn’t take you long to blast through.

In order to unlock this trophy you naturally have to progress through all the events, ensuring you clinch at least a Bronze ranking in each.

Bang, Bang Kaboom!
Detonate 50 exploding barrels


Littered on each track are three types of barrel; blue water barrels, black oil barrels and red explosive barrels. With regards to this particular trophy, we are only concerned with red. In order to detonate an explosive barrel, it’s simply a case of driving into it, which will initiate a short countdown then explosion. You’ll know you’ve hit a red barrel as upon doing so, a white circle will surround it.

Detonate a total of 50 barrels to obtain this trophy.

Rookie of The Year
Win the N-Dura Cup


Please refer to ‘The Right Formula’.

Real Racer!
Win the Evo GT Challenge Cup


Please refer to ‘The Right Formula’.

Slick on Slicks!
Win the Protech Series


Please refer to ‘The Right Formula’.

The Right Formula
Win the Apex World Trophy


Given that the last two championships aren't unlocked until the completion of career mode, it's advisable to go for all four championship trophies once you've completed that step. The four championships relate to the four classes of car, and with each championship the number of races and laps per race slightly increases.

None of the championships are difficult, and considering the fact you can lower the AI difficulty to easy and still obtain the trophies, your endeavor for these four trophies should be quick and hassle free.

Lookin' Good!
Complete an entire Championship without ever letting your health drop below green.


This trophy is best accomplished by using the first championship ‘The N-Dura Cup’. Firstly, before you go for this trophy lower the AI difficulty to easy to make things as simple as possible. Now just progress through the four, three lap races without your health falling below green.

Once each race begins, try to stay away from the main pack of racers therefore avoiding potential collisions and receiving too much damage, wait for opportune moments to make your overtakes and progress to the front of the pack (achievable after the first couple of corners on easy difficulty). Once you’re in the lead it’s plain sailing, as other racers shouldn’t catch you. Obviously you want to avoid the red exploding barrels, and feel free to make use of the pit stop at the end of each lap, which will grant you full health.

It’s worth noting, restarting races mid championship negates this trophy.

Perfect Host
Host and complete 10 Split-screen races


Head into ‘Free Play’ from the main menu, press on a button on a second controller for Player 2 to join the game, then apply the following game settings:

Mode = Standard
Track = Any (I personally used ‘Sakura Speedway’ as it’s very short)
Class = Any
Laps = 3
AI = Off

Using the above settings makes this trophy extremely quick and simple, complete a race, then rinse and repeat the process a further nine times.

You can also go into Championship mode to earn this achievement pretty quick.

Tis But A Scratch
Win a Split-screen Standard Race of minimum 5 laps without using the Pit Lane.


An exceptionally easy trophy. Head into ‘Free Play’ via the main menu, have a second player join the game and apply the same settings described for the ‘Perfect Host’ trophy - with the exception of the laps setting, which must be set to at least 5. Now start the race and leave Player 2 idle as you, (Player 1), completes the race whilst ensuring you never enter the pit lane.

Bang Bang Party
Complete 10 Split-screen Championships


This trophy is similar to ‘Perfect Host’ but unfortunately a much lengthier grind. You could conceivably make it less of a chore if you played the championships with friends, but if you’re going for it solo it's a bit of a slog.

I suggest utilising ‘The N-Dura Cup’ for this trophy, as it’s the shortest of the championships available, consisting of four, three lap races.

You Beat Us!
Beat our Best Lap Time of 00:21:451 in Time Trial on Sakura Speedway Long


I strongly suggest going for this trophy when you’ve acquired the fourth and final class of car; ‘Apex’, unlocked during the third stage of career mode. The Apex class grants you the fastest cars in the game and makes the task of achieving this time very straightforward.

It’s achievable to get this time right from the green light, but to make things easier on yourself it’s best to aim for the time via a ‘flying lap’ (ie. Starting a fresh lap, whilst maintaining the full speed and momentum of a previous lap).

Beat The Clock
Achieve Gold awards in Time Trial on all the Track variants in each Class.


The nine tracks in Bang Bang Racing, each with six variants are as follows:

  • Shaluk Sands
  • Palm Coast
  • Euro Autodrome
  • Stonelake Circuit
  • Marina d’Azur
  • Sakura Speedway
  • Circuito do Sol
  • Mont Vitesse
  • Layton Raceway

You’re looking at quite a lengthy trophy here, given there’s 54 total tracks to complete with each of the four class of cars. Remember you’re not solely registering a time, you must beat the Gold target time set for each individual time trial.
