Against the Qlock - Miscellaneous and Speedrun Achievements

There are mainly two types of achievements in this part: Speedrun and Minimum Moves. Other than these achievements, there are two unique achievements and a participation trophy:

Everyone's A Winner Baby
Winning a race for the first time

• You just need to finish a level for this achievement.

Hopscotch
Jump on certain cubes in sequence

• This achievement requires you to go to the right side after first jumping sequence in "Ruin Rush". Then you need to raise the red block at least twice to spawn low gravity boost. With the help of the boost, you need to cross pillars by stepping on them and you are aiming to reach to the left side. Achievement will unlock after picking up the time boost. Check the guide at the Speedrun for visual aid.

Whatever Floats Your Boat
Don't touch the floor

• You need to finish "Hover Headway" without touching the ground between the green checkered bars. Check the guide at the Speedrun for visual aid.

Speedrun

If you think it is too hard for you, you can use a save file to unlock speedrun achievements. Check the other section for save files.

All Rounder
Get 3 gold medals in every level

• You need to earn gold medals in every level. It isn't hard as it's sound. You will unlock this when you have completed all of the speedrun achievements.

Other speedrun achievements are pretty hard. You can check this guide to see how it's done:

I would be glad if you check their guides/videos too.

• Also, thanks to Tarrare, Endruv, HighRoller and Zet for providing information and correcting the mistakes.

Thank you for checking my guide. If you have any suggestions or if you see any mistakes (information, typo, etc.), please let me know. Have a nice day!

[Dalkavuk]

Thank you very much for pointing that out, I added the information to guides.

[Zet]

Hello, t hank you for the guide. There is a typo in "Play a level section", it says "50" instead of "500" here.

[HighRoller]

You welcome! Your guides were very helpfull in QUBE Directors Cut and here in QUBE, so im glad i could help you and making it a little bit better. The times, like the were before made me almost give up. I thought they were undoable for me, but when i realized how much more time you actually got, made me enjoy the DLC so much more and the achievement hunting was a lot of fun. So whoever reads this too, the speedunning achievements are really not that difficult like they seem.

[Dalkavuk]

Thank you for the all of the information you provided.

[HighRoller]

Thats all. Ive beat all the dev times today.
For Speed way, Lost, Ruin Rush and Hover Headway i had times below your mentioned times, so it seems they are ok so far.
