BANANA Achievement

[Daniel]

Does anyone know how to unlock the "BANANA" achievement?

[bennett]

nobody has unlocked it so far.

[Daniel]

I found a Banana in Break In. I've collected it and finished the mission, but nothing happened.

I can unlock it, but it's too rng for my taste to bother with it specifically.
Basically there are super random banana pickups on each album, once you pick it up beat the rest of the album without dying.

Got the Banana stamp on the first album, 3 to go. (or 4 with single)
Also Bennet, I know you're the mastermind behind all the unfair bs in this game, you can't fool me.

Just played the first album and looked everywhere for the banana, no luck. Does it spawn at the end of the album (side B) or before that?
Also, was it on hard difficulty?

It's a very random drop my friend. It can be ANYWHERE on stage on ANY stage. I got it during one of my attempts at "Perfect" achievement. Found it maybe 5 times out of who knows how many restarts.
Don't bother going specifically for it unless you plan to 100% the game, which you should encounter naturally by then.

It was on normal btw.

Oh that sucks. Thank you for the info.

[bennett]

I actually think this is maybe the greatest Steam achievement of all time.

[Pink]

Bennet, while you're here, can you please confirm if this includes hard mode? if so then I'm out.
Just beating hard mode arcade is challenging enough, but it's a completely unfair mode that anything can happen, and the odds of finding a banana AND making that run count are extremely unlikely and not due to the player's own skill.

[bennett]

I agree it would be an unfair challenge if you had to do it in arcade mode.

/edit to add: it's not for everyone though! no worries if you want to skip it.

[Pink]

That doesn't really answer the question though, is it needed on hard mode as well?
And I just realized that you can probably reroll a stage until it appears and take it from there, but hard mode requirement confirmation would be appreciated.

[Gabe]

Hey man, probably don't try to get this achievement.

[Pink]

You could just give a simple answer.
If it doesn't unlock on all normal albums then I'll attempt rerolling on hard.
You're also replying to probably the only person that will 100% this game in long while, regardless of your teasing.

I love you guys.

[bennett]

We're not teasing! I think we just have mixed feelings about encouraging people to go for a hard achievement. If you like a steep challenge, I really do think it's one of the best... but I've already said too much.


I still have regrets about putting the gold pot challenge in Getting Over It...

I managed to pick up the banana in "Break in" on hard. I guess it spawns on both difficulties.
