RA Roulette 2026 Evergreen Guide - RetroAchievements/guides GitHub Wiki

Welcome to the RA Roulette 2026 Evergreen Guide. As the event is currently ongoing, this is a work in progress until the event concludes in January 2027.

Below are mostly compiled from various users of the RetroAchievements Discord server.

It is highly recommended to do CTRL+F (or CMD+F) to find the achievement you need help with. These should be in display order as well. Maybe!

Unless the game is obtuse progression and/or has confusing mechanics, progression cheevos will not be covered in detail here unless there is a trick/cheese to make it easier.

These guides will assume the player is new to these games (i.e. have not unlocked any cheevos in the set). Of course, if you have progress in these games, then it will likely be easier for you to get the event cheevo.

Heavenly Trial from Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu (NES)
Visit the cloud-jumping special stage

Estimated Time: < 5 minutes | Difficulty: Easy

This is a secret section right at the beginning.

Rajah from Shaq-Fu (SNES)
Finish Duel mode as Rajah on Easy

Estimated Time: Long | Difficulty: Normal/Hard

Thankfully you only need to play on Easy! Make sure you set it to Easy as well. Here's some various tips provided from players:

ArtikSkarab: Holding towards your opponent and mashing A should allow you to stunlock most of your fights, especially the later rounds one.
Olafur: A small addition to that, pay a little extra attention to the mummy, because he can teleport behind you.
Jabbawocky: Also if you're using a jump kick strategy, the Mummy also has an air attack that counters your own and damages you quite badly. Try to keep the fight on the ground.
Ghosty: Set the difficulty to Easy and the round time limit to 10 seconds in the settings before you start. All you need is more damage on them than you when the timer runs out.
ChrisBGR: I found it pretty easy to win by KO with: Jump kick (light kick with B, or heavy kick with A didn't seem to make a huge difference), Crouching kick until the enemy is out of range, repeat. This worked even against the final boss (Mummy), but I had to be mindful of dodging his attacks. Rajah's attacks come out pretty quick, so you should be pressing kick immediately after your jump. For all non-mummy enemies, this will damage the enemy at least as much as you get hurt if you both jump kick, and they won't do this every time. With the mummy, I found that he doesn't use his jump attack that frequently (at least on Easy).

Kudos from ~Homebrew~ Wordyl (GB)
Guess the word on the third try

Estimated Time: < 5 minutes | Difficulty: Easy

You just need to play Wordle and get the answer on the third try. Simple!

Tip from Frenchy70: A consistent method for getting the word GAMUT as your correct word. Put turbo (settings: half period, turbo period 6 frames) on start and hold it down while resetting and you should get GAMUT as your word. This is due to the word being generated by the frame you enter the game on the title screen from start up.

Rare View from Mega Man Zero 4 (GBA)
Get through the Area Zero in pursuit of Dr.Weil

Estimated Time: 15-30 minutes | Difficulty: 4/10

Early progression achievement, nothing too bad but requires some skill.

Here is general breakdown of the bosses and general gameplay posted by WanderingHeiho:

Achievement is for the second intro stage. You always have two weapons equipped. Your main weapon is used with the B button, while your sub weapon has three ways to use it (change in the pause menu):

Hold R and press B (default)
Press R
Press R to switch weapon used with B I recommend using the Z-Saber, as its triple attack while standing still works great on bosses. The Z-Knuckle lets you grab weapons from enemies and use them. You can throw what you grabbed by pressing select. To grab onto rails, hold Up.

Bosses Intro stage 1 boss Pretty simple, but its laser attack can be difficult to avoid unless you use the Z-Knuckle to rip out the wires underneath it. Z-Saber works great to take it down.

Intro stage 2 boss You need to attack the head. Its body won't hurt you unless it's doing an attack. Again, the Z-Saber is great for this fight. Don't hesitate to move away from the boss during the missile attack. Go under the platforms to avoid them.

Fisherman from Rainy Day Games (A2)
Win a game of Go Fish on Smart or higher difficulty

Estimated Time: 20-30 minutes | Difficulty: 3/10

Once the game is set up for RA, it should be a pretty simple cheevo to get. The game is slow so it does require some patience (and the AI sort of cheats), but it still is not too difficult if you know how to play some Go Fish

Some additional tips by Johan:

Set your speed to uncapped and just show every card, try to show a different one if the one you showed didnt gave you a point, its gonna be tricky to pick a specific card at that speed but its honestly faster than waiting

Digifiend also added:

Memorize what you get shown! Maybe write them down. If you draw a card you know they have, show it next turn.

Land of the Dead from Shin Megami Tensei (SNES)
Help Ozuno in underworld

Estimated Time: X hours | Difficulty: X/10

Let's Get Outta Here! from The Goonies (MSX)
Complete Stage 2

Estimated Time: 45-60 minutes | Difficulty: 5/10

This game has some rather obtuse and archaic design, so following a longplay/walkthrough is advisable. Here are some specific tips provided by RAWR players. Note you need to use your own passwords to get the achievement, using a password you did not earn can put you at risk of being untracked, so it is best practice not to do so.

WanderingHeiho provided the following video guide for a route through stage 2: https://youtu.be/gGz9Az9Yd4Y

foiebump also gave this tip on items and passwords: If you have cleared stage 1 previously and gotten the stage 2 password, you do not have to replay all of stage 1 to regain your items. All you have to do is start stage 1 and get the items you want (I usually got the helmet and the speed shoes), then purposely die to go back to the title screen. Finally, pressing Ctrl + K, you can enter the password for stage 2, starting the level with the items you just got from stage 1.

heintsi gave this useful hint: You can destroy those bones skeletons throw at you by punching. Useful when in tight spot and can't jump

Finally, Tyrota posted the following map (again, do not use passwords you have not earned):

Special Green Perfection from Sonic Mega Collection Plus (PS2)
[S3] Get a Perfect on Special Stage 1 without using level select or debug mode

Estimated Time: 5-10 minutes | Difficulty: 3/10

To get to a bonus stage, Sonic has to find a giant ring. There are several throughout the first level, but the easiest giant ring to get through is right after a cliff with the swings near the start. Go towards the left, spindash through the rock wall, and a giant ring will be there.

Once inside the bonus stage, the objective is to collect every single ring to obtain a perfect ranking before changing all the balls from blue to red. Since it is the first special stage, it is not too difficult and if you fail you can just reset the game and get back there quickly (or find another giant ring). One thing to keep in mind is that whenever a square of balls have any balls in the middle, you want to turn all of the outer balls red in order to turn the whole set into rings that counts towards the perfect. Easier to do than to explain honestly.

Here is a map of the special stage posted by Molson:

Don't Worry Teddy! from Mr. Bean (PS2)
Congratulations! You have saved Teddy and completed the game!

Estimated Time: 3-5 hours | Difficulty: 4/10

So, you gotta beat the game to get this cheevo. Good news, the game is extremely simple and offers little in the way of challenge. Bad news, it is a sloooog. Through all nine levels of this game, you have to collect 750 cat biscuits (each level has 100) and all of the puzzle pieces to reach the end. There is not really anything specific to point out here, it is just an extremely poorly made game to get through. If you can stomach some less than stellar platforming, then you should be fine.

A True Leader from Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Red Rescue Team (GBA)
Recruit 150 Pokémon to your team.

Estimated Time: X hours | Difficulty: X/10

Stay Ahead of the Game from Car Race (ELEK)
Pass your 40th opponent.

Estimated Time: X minutes | Difficulty: X/10

Aztec Power from ~Hack~ The Legend of Zelda: Time Lost (N64)
Complete the Aztec Grotto dungeon

Estimated Time: X hours | Difficulty: X/10

Ryu Book II from .hack//Infection (PS2)
Obtain the Ryu Book II

Estimated Time: 1-2 hours | Difficulty: 3/10

A relatively easy and quick one. BlueShellBeast posted this helpful guide for the cheevo:

In order to get this book, you will have to use Data Drain 20 times. Follow the story up until Kite turns orange (Post Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground), log back into The World, invite BlackRose back into your party, and proceed to grind in a Level 1 area. Data Drain costs 10 SP to use and can be used on any enemy that has had enough damage done to them. The text PROTECTION BREAK, followed by "Data Drain OK" will appear over the enemy, letting you know it's hit that threshold.

In true roulette fashion, as your infection level (noted by the color of Kite's silhouette in the menu) gets higher, more effects will occur from using this. You can bring it back down by killing enemies. This is mostly notable as if you hit 100% infection (Noted by the Red with DANGER), there is a chance you can Game Over. While you can gamble with it, you'll lose all of your progress since your last save. I wouldn't risk it.

Note: You can go into the settings to turn off the Data Drain animation.

foiebump also added:

I found that entering and exiting the dungeon in the Discovered Primitive Touchstone area usually made a group of enemies spawn right outside the entrance.

Welcome to the Polar Express from ~Homebrew~ Cave Story (PSP)
Max out the experience points for the Polar Star.

Estimated Time: 5-15 minutes | Difficulty: 2/10

Pretty easy one. The Polar Star is the first one you get and is required for progression. To get the cheevo, you can progress through the story and it will come pretty quickly. However, an even easier and faster method pointed out by WanderingHeiho is to simply grind out the enemies in the starting cave of the game by respawning them via entering the starting room over and over. With that method, the cheevo should not take more than 5 minutes.

Lido-Deck Dash Box Destroyer from Wall-E (PS2)
Destroy all the boxes in "Lido-Deck Dash" with no cheats enabled

Estimated Time: 4-6 hours | Difficulty: 3/10

This one requires beating the entire game, which will unlock a bonus stage at the very end. In that stage, use Eve to destroy every box.

You can skip all the boxes and artifacts in the rest of the game, even if you want to 100% it, as you can always re-play the level. But, if you want to rush through to get to the end, you can just play normally.

Tip from foiebump: If you wanna hurry things along a little, the fastest way through most of the levels is to go in and out of your box form repeatedly as it gives you alot of speed.

Artwork 9 - Sponge Van Gogh from SpongeBob SquarePants: Lights, Camera, Pants! (PS2)
Get 120 or more points in Mother of Pearl (Bronze)

Estimated Time: 2-3 hours | Difficulty: 4/10 | Missable

The mini game in this achievement is unlocked in the game's "audition mode" after beating the bronze story campaign. Make sure not to progress onto the silver story campaign, as doing so will make the cheevo unavailable.

This game is not the most complex in the world, and you do not even have to win the minigames to beat the campaign, but there is a way to speed things up.

The AFK method:

Set the AI to the hardest (smart) difficulty (I do not know if player difficulty alters anything, so set that to the highest difficulty as well).
Fast forward through the minigames, and with little to no further input, let the AI win.
At least one character needs to cross the given score threshold to progress the story (~12,000 points over three minigames).
If the AI with the most points is on the 2 player game on your side, restart the game until they are no longer your teammate.
For the soccer game in particular: make sure to score your own goals, as the AI struggles to enough goals to meet the point requirements.

Some other things to note:

There has been several accounts of this game crashing frequently. This is usually after the game has saved, so thankfully no progress has been undone, but it could be an annoyance.
As SnowWolf pointed out, there were flashing lights observed within one of Mrs. Puff's levels. Please be aware if you are sensitive to flashing lights.

Rock the Boat from ~Hack~ Final Fantasy ++ (NES)
Obtain the Canoe

Estimated Time: 2-4 hours | Difficulty: 5/10

This achievement is story progression based, so it may be easier or harder depending on how much Final Fantasy 1 knowledge is present coming in. While the hack is mostly similar to retail FF1, there are a few notable differences in class, equipment, etc that are catalogued in the hack's supplemental material.

For this guide, the party members consisted of three moogles (which replace the original game's monks) and a fighter, although different combinations may be faster.

A step by step guide for this achievement was provided by Olafur:

Go into town, suit up, then head northwest and kill Garland
Talk to king to open bridge, then head towards the next town.
Suit up, kill the pirates to get boat.
Sail south, head to Marsh Cave in the southwest to find the Crown [Level ~8].
Head to castle north of the cave and kill Astos to get Eye.
Go to the place located northeast of the starting town, give Eye to get Herb.
Go to castle south of the starting town, talk to the NPC next to the sleeping prince. Then, talk to sleeping prince to get Magic Key.
Go to the starting castle, find the door with six chests. Open the leftmost one to get T.N.T.
Sail west and enter the Mount Duergar. Talk to the southernmost one to open the rest of the sea and the ability to lazy level grind. Pack a bunch of sleeping bags if you want to grind a bunch while doing as little as possible [Level ~16].
When ready, go to the Earth Cave, get to the bottom and purify the first crystal.
Finally, head to the southeastern most town, talk to the wizards on the right side and you should get the canoe.

Drunken Brawling from Fatal Fury F-Contact (NGP)
Beat the game using only Joe on default settings.

Estimated Time: 5-10 minutes | Difficulty: 1/10

A tip from WanderingHeiho makes this cheevo trivial. Simply set your turbo button to A (with a period of 3 and cycle half period) and mash/hold forward. The AI can do little to fight back, and soon enough, the cheevo is yours.

Raceway Rampage from Shin Combat Choro Q (PS2)
Achieve victory in every Bacherit arena

Estimated Time: ~1 hour | Difficulty: 3/10

The Bacherit area is unlocked fairly early on in the story mode, so generally follow a walkthrough up until unlocking the area. Some of the biggest takeaways is to buy a CPU 2 as well as strong armor early on, as well as the single missile for the boss fight in Naldnick. Keep in mind you have to equip the items in the garage (as well as save your game). Also, you can press the select button to skip cutscenes.

Out of the starting tanks, Olafur and others reccomend the PzKpfw II Aust.C.

For the arena missions, Verros reccomended to use the MachCharge Engine and 16-Missile Sub Weapon B. With these items equipped, the expert racing arena as well as the battle arena are pretty simple.

Birthright from Wolverine: Adamantium Rage (SNES)
Make your way through the Hand HQ and defeat Lady Deathstrike

Estimated Time: X hours | Difficulty: X/10

25k from Zippy Race (NES)
Get 25.000 points!

Estimated Time: 0.5-2 hours | Difficulty: 5/10

In this game, you progress through the different races when you have enough fuel, with the placements largely being end of level point bonuses. Every time you crash, you're going to lose a chunk of fuel. As such, it is crucial to pick up fuel canisters (the blue barrels) as well as avoid crashing (generally two was the maximum amount of crashes that would have enough fuel to continue).

The achievement is usually unlocked either the second or third stage. This game's stages are the same every time, so remember the path to maximize your fuel efficiency. On stage 1, the fuel cans are all towards the right, while stage 2's fuel alternates between left and right, etc.

For the end of level sections with the lower perspective, allow the cars to approach close enough before swerving away. Accelerating may help with this timing.

A crucial strategy that Olafur point out was to exploit car passing mechanics. Whenever you pass a car in front of you, you gain 500 points, yet you do not lose any points by falling behind. Thus, repeatedly slowing down to drop a position only to speed back up to pass the vehicle once more can easily rack up some points. This could be done with two cars, but is only recommended at the start of stage 1 as the two cars are side by side with one another, other wise, just do this with one other car. For the first part of the stage 1, the left side of the track is the most clear, so you want to be at the left edge as you repeatedly pass the vehicle. The most optimal timing was to stop pressing A as soon as the position increased, then start holding A once again when the speedometer reads somewhere in the 70s, and repeat.

Here are some movement tips from MegaDriveCD32x which may help:

Gas (A) = full speed Brake (B) = slows you down (never fully stops) Hold both A + B = perfect middle speed holding both buttons makes your speed exactly the same as the opposing cars. You can cruise through curves while sandwiched between two of them with zero trouble. Speed up behind a car, then instantly slam both buttons right before you reach it. Your speed matches theirs immediately, the other car loses all horizontal movement (it stops turning completely), and you can just swerve around and pass on either side. I used to try getting super close to freeze their turning, but the timing was always off — let off the gas even a little and they’d start turning again. Slamming both buttons solves that instantly by locking your speed to theirs.

The Future Was Wrong from Pokémon HeartGold Version | Pokémon SoulSilver Version (DS)
Defeat Sabrina for the Marsh Badge.

Estimated Time: X hours | Difficulty: X/10

Bob-omb Blaster from Super Mario 64 (N64)
Reach and defeat King Bob-omb in Bob-omb Battlefield without getting grabbed or taking damage.

Estimated Time: ~5 minutes | Difficulty: 2/10

Rather simple achievement as it is in the first star of the first level (Bob-omb Battlefield). The only real useful piece of advice needed for King Bob-omb is to let him walk for a little bit before going into grab him, as trying to grab him too soon will put you at risk of getting grabbed.

Sky Warrior from Super Mario 64 DS (DS)
Beat Bowser in the Sky as Mario without taking damage or using any Caps at any point during the stage

Estimated Time: 4-5 hours | Difficulty: 5/10

Bowser in the Sky is the final level of the game, requiring 80 out of 150 power stars to access it in normal play. If you are familiar with SM64 progress, then this should not be too much of a tall order (other than adjusting to the controls). The cheevo itself is pretty simple, just go through the stage and beat the final Bowser fight without taking damage. There are shortcuts you can take to speed things along, but they are not mandatory, as the stage is not too hard. Just keep going at it and you will get it with a couple tries!

Fifty In 505 Letters from Scrabble Blast! (GBA)
Score a 50+ pointer during a '505 Letters' game.[Hints/Exchanges OFF in Options][1P]

Estimated Time: 1-5 minutes | Difficulty: 1/10

Pretty dang simple one if you know how to play scrabble (and even if you do not, its still pretty easy and self explanatory).

Here are some tips from Ghosty:

Turn off Hints/Exchanges in the options screen before you start, I'd also suggest you turn off the music.

You can play Classic mode with 505 tiles to have unlimited time to make words.

The Red squares triple your word score, and the Pink squares double it, so try to use them when you can.

Also, tiles can be linked diagonally.

Moreover, Firman3250 posted this website that may be helpful: https://boggle.wordsmuggler.com/.

Sword Laser from Valis (MD)
Obtain the Sword Laser power up.

Estimated Time: 30-60 minutes | Difficulty: 4/10

The powerup is found relatively early in the game a couple stages in. If you like Genesis era side scrollers, then this should be up your alley.

Ghosty shared some tips for the cheevo:

The laser sword powerup is in stage 3-1 (and later stages).

In the first stage, high jump (dpad up+jump) up the buildings to find all the bullet powerups. With 3 of them, you'll fire in a cone pattern in front of you. Both bosses before stage 3 can be beaten by spamming that at them. For the first boss, you'll still need to high jump while he's causing earthquakes to avoid damage.

Also, Digifiend provided the location of the laser sword in a screenshot:

Why Were We Here Again? from Bermuda Triangle (2600)
Reach 10,000 points without picking up an artifact.

Estimated Time: 5-10 minutes | Difficulty: 3/10

Atari shooter, pretty easy overall though takes some extra infomation to get the cheevo comfortably.

Thankfully, Ghosty has that extra information with the following tips:

Press Start to actually start playing and earning points.

Also, try to stay roughly in the middle of the screen and move up and down to dodge, don't take any risks. The spiky mines are worth 200 points to shoot down while everything else is 50, so focus on those when you have the choice.

You pick up artifacts by holding down against the seabed, so, don't do that

Additionally, DietDoctorFunk had this tip:

Only the mines will kill you. The UFO and the sea creatures will cause you to lose 100 points, but no life lost.

Royal Rumble from Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis (GBA)
Clear Haena Hills (B)

Estimated Time: X minutes | Difficulty: X/10

With Friends Like These, Who Needs Enemies from Breath of Fire II (SNES)
Choose one of your friends to sacrifice for the cause

Estimated Time: X minutes | Difficulty: X/10

Demolitionist from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past & Four Swords (GBA)
Acquire some Bombs

Estimated Time: 5-10 minutes | Difficulty: 2/10

Pretty simple one. After bringing Zelda to the sanctuary at the beginning of the game, go out and towards the left to Kakariko Village. Once in the town, drop down the well that's towards the northwest end of town and the first chest should have bombs.

Lets Start Digging from Suleiman's Treasure (DUCK)
Clear Levels 1-5 on easy

Estimated Time: 20-30 minutes | Difficulty: 3/10

The objective for each level is to eat all of the pellets within the time limit. DietDoctorFunk pointed out how all enemies, except for the landmine, are killed by the snake's head, and can pass through the snake's body/tail without losing a life. There is also a fast and slow return to the beginning of the level, which can be useful in different contexts.

Stealing My Weight in Gold from Bonanza Bros. (MD)
Beat Underground Gold Bars on any difficulty

Estimated Time: 15-45 minutes | Difficulty: 4/10

This cheevo unlocks upon completing the fifth level in the game. Generally, best way to beat these levels is to have a good path for the treasure (which is indicated on the level map in the middle of the screen with a flashing icon), and want to generally avoid and evade combat unless the enemy is in your way. Moreover, the cheevo allows playing on the easier difficulty with the maximum amount of lives and continues if so desired.

The Science of Picross from Mario no Super Picross (SNES)
Complete Puzzles I, J, K and L in Level 3.

Estimated Time: 30 minutes | Difficulty: 2/10

Level 3 is unlocked as soon as all level 1 puzzles are completed, with the I-L puzzles being on the bottom third row. The puzzles required are pretty basic picross puzzles, so having a little bit of Picross/ Nonagram knowledge should be more than sufficient. If not, the answers to each puzzle can be easily found online.

Time in Place from Mega Man X Collection (GC)
[X5] Acquire the Dark Hold

Estimated Time: 30 minutes | Difficulty: 3/10

The Dark Hold is acquired by beating Dark Necrobat, with their stage unlocked right after beating the intro stage. Note that easy difficulty is not allowed for this achievement. Any playstyle could work in clearing the stage, however, WanderingHeiho recommends using X as you could use his fourth armor (accessed through pressing left and right after picking a stage. The armor improves the charge shot as well as providing a mid-air hover move.

Human Resource Advisor from Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (GBA)
Recruit ten swabbies to your cause

Estimated Time: X hours | Difficulty: X/10

Meddling or Matchmaking? from SaGa 3: Jikuu no Hasha - Shadow or Light (DS)
Complete the "Meant To Be" event.

Estimated Time: X hours | Difficulty: X/10

Lightning from Light Crusader (MD)
Found and equipped Lightning

Estimated Time: X hours | Difficulty: X/10

Getaway Wagon from Wirehead (SCD)
Escape from the sheriff on the wagon

Estimated Time: 15-20 minutes | Difficulty: 2/10

This is an early cheevo on a rather simple FMV game. The game does require fast inputs at certain points, but does not punish you for spamming the input before the prompt, meaning you can just look at a guide and can spam the next correct input.

Here is the inputs for the fastest route through the game (which includes the achievement), provided by Ghosty:

House: left, right, right, left
Skateboard: left, right, up (rapidly)
Airport: right
Airplane: right
Rapids: up, right
Bear: down
Bar: left
Jail: right, right, up, left
Wagon: left, right, up, up (cheevo unlocks around here!)
Dr Oja: left, up
Car Chase: left, right, left, right, left, left, right, left, right, right, left
On Ship: up, left, right, right, right, left, right, right, right, left, left, right, left
Boat Dock: left
Raft: right, left, left
Dune Buggy: right, right, right, left, right, up, left, left, right, up
The Times: A, B, A!

Hey Boy! Come On! from Mega Man 8 (PS1)
Defeat Search Man and get the Homing Sniper

Estimated Time: 1-4 hours | Difficulty: 5/10

Search Man's level is unlocked upon beating the first four robot masters and completing the intermission stage. Mega Man 8 is largely considered one of the easier games in the series, so even for newcomers it should be relatively straightforward. Getting the bolt upgrades are not required, but it is recommended to buy Quick Charge upgrade from Roll. It is also worth noting that if you follow the weakness order, you will beat two stages before facing Search Man, which could be skipped if desired (though it would be harder).

Here is the full boss weakness order provided by jhonen124:

Intro -> Grenademan -> Frostman -> Tenguman -> Clownman -> Mid-stage -> Aquaman -> Swordman -> Searchman

Frozen Frontier from Tiny Toon Adventures: Buster's Hidden Treasure (MD)
Free Hamton and clear the Glacier

Estimated Time: 1-3 hours | Difficulty: 5/10

Despite this cheevo being the second to last progression achievement, it is more than doable. No cheese strat really, but the game has infinite continues/ passwords for each level and the game is not too difficult as is. In the realm of 16 bit platformers the game is on the easier side, so having experience in any of its contemporaries will make this a pretty simple achievement to get.

Slay the Battle Tower from ~Hack~ Pokémon Emerald Rogue (GBA)
Get the 3rd badge

Estimated Time: 30-60 minutes | Difficulty: 3/10

This rom hack is a roguelike Pokémon experience, so it involves a some luck. Yet, the achievement is so eaely on in the game that not much intense PKMN knowledge is necessary to get the cheevo. All that is really necessary to have a vague notion on which moves are good and having your team cover common type advantages in battles. Easier routes to the gym leaders often have "calm" somewhere in their title, but either way, this achievement is simple enough to get with little to no complex strategy.

Rupees Before Swine from The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition (GC)
[WW] Help find Dampa's pig for a reward

Estimated Time: < 5 minutes | Difficulty: 2/10

Pretty simple one. Launch the Wind Waker demo, and select the island save file. Talk to the tall man on the pier with the red hat until he tells you to catch his pig in time limit. The pig he wants is randomized, but Ghosty pointed out that there are two pigs in the grassy beach area and one is up the grassy ridge to the right. Once you got the pig that fits his description (either sitnky, angry, etc), press the R button to drop the pig in front of him and claim your reward and cheevo.

Complete Heroes Mode on Normal

Estimated Time: X minutes | Difficulty: X/10

Estimated Time: 15-30 minutes | Difficulty: 3/10

Sinister Secrets from Spider-Man: Battle for New York (GBA)
Complete Sinister Secrets

Estimated Time: 1-2 hours | Difficulty: 4/10

Progression achievement for a pretty simple game. No special strategy here, just follow a longplay if you get stuck, but otherwise, not too bad.

Not Quite a Firewall from Mega Man ZX (DS)
Defeat Protectos in Area L on Normal difficulty or higher

Estimated Time: X hours | Difficulty: X/10

So Much to Learn from ~Hack~ Pokémon: Too Many Types (GBA)
Earn the Stone Badge in Rustboro City

Estimated Time: 10-30 minutes | Difficulty: 2/10

The stone badge is obtained by beating the first gym leader in the game, so possessing at least a vague understanding of Pokémon Emerald's story progression should be sufficient in getting this cheevo easily, even before the hack's gimmick starts to matter. If ignoring the missibles, this cheevo can be further trivalized by using the infinite rare candies in the players bag to crush the already easy gym.

Progression cheevo, a good bit but definitely can sped up by using fast forward, turbo X, and a GameFAQs guide. Combat is largely pretty easy at this early point of the game, so you could even set your character to auto battle if you want and you will mostly be OK. Only possible pressure point is the boss fight prior to the RAWR cheevo, the one in Choral Castle. There you want to target Arietta and try to take her down as quickly as possible before dealing with the other foes. Otherwise, it is not too hard to get this cheevo.
