AudioSurf Achievement Guide
By MushaConvoy
Standard disclaimer: This guide is intended for use for those wishing to get the achievements in the game primarily by themselves. If you want to get them legitimately (and by that, I mean against fleshlings, not computer-aided opponents or sneaky tactics), by all means go ahead. This guide offers suggestions on ways to be more efficient in your hunting.

Given the pure random nature of this game given it s based on any music track that could be available, there is one strategy below that involves creating your own music track. If you are opposed to this kind of thing - simple, don't do it. In which case I suggest you look for an ambient track of 11 minutes in length rather than a hardcore dance remix.

Audacity - http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

Many thanks to The Boy and Beeker!

Achievements
Royal Ride - Earn Gold without overfilling. 2 min minimum.
You'll likely get this on your first game. Easiest on Mono/Casual, just collect coloured blocks, avoid grey, ensure your song is longer than 2 minutes.


Stealth Adept | Stealth Master | Stealth Legend | Ninjitsu - Using Ninja Mono, earn Stealth. 3, 7 and 11 min minimum. Collect all blocks on one run.
To earn Stealth, you cannot hit any grey blocks. To make this ridiculously easy, load Audacity (link above), open a slow or ambient song (rainforests, oceans), after about 30 seconds insert the required number of minutes of silence, and end with another 30 seconds of ambience. This will trick AudioSurf into making a VERY easy song for you to go through. These 3 achievements cannot be unlocked in a single play, so you're better off creating 3 files of different lengths. During one of these runs, collect all coloured blocks to earn the Ninjitsu achievement at the same time.

Stainless - Earn Clean Finish and Gold 3 times in a row.
Pick a fast song and make sure it has a fast finish. Something you're comfortable with and one you can easily get Gold before the finish line. Pick Mono Pro and play - the fast finish will help you get a group together, and you won't need to worry about colours. Repeat three times.


Ppm 10,000 | Ppm 30,000 - 10000, 30000 points per minute. 3 min minimum.
Earn 10000/30000 points per minute. The longer the song, the harder this will be to do. If you pick a 3 minute song, you will need to earn 30,000 and 90,000 points respectively. Pick a fast song as Vegas, and make use of his sorting ability so you can focus on larger point scoring blocks.

Laser Show - Collect matches in 4 colours simultaneously.
Another easy one for Vegas on a fast track. Collect 3 of each block, as mis-matched as you can, then hit the sort button.

Snowstorm - Collect a chain reaction of 7 white blocks.
Pointer Pro is an easy class for this one. Not too fast a track - but a longer one is handy so there is plenty of opportunity for white blocks to appear. Set up the bottom corners with a common colour like blue or purple leaving the center block free. Build up as many white blocks as you like up either side, using the Pointer's ability to move any from the center to either side. Once you have 7 or more, drop your corner coloured block down the center to clear all bricks. Your board should look like this:

White
-----

Big Kahuna | Bauer - Score 17000 points in a single match, and collect a match of 24 blocks.
Play a reasonably long track as either Pusher, Eraser or Double Vision as the other classes only have 21 available. Fill the entire board with mismatched colours and hold off until you can collect a 3x or 4x multiplier. When you do so, pick up the colour painter to turn all of your blocks Yellow or Red. Two achievements in one. Easy.

Spotlight Finish - Finish Clean, Gold before finish, hit last block, elite only.
Not much I can suggest here - recommend Elite Eraser, take only Yellow, Red and Green blocks. The real winner here is White blocks - at 2,000 a pop, they're the key to winning. Keep an eye on your status - the moment you hit Gold, focus on deleting all blocks you have. Make sure you play a track you're familiar with - and know what coloured block you require for the finale.

Brutus | Ambush - Dethrone a friend from the global scoreboard, and in less than 15 mins.
Easiest way is to have a friend play a track that no-one else has, possibly one you created earlier for the Stealth achievements. Have him play for a little, then sit in the gutter all the way - if no-one else has it, he'll be global #1. As soon as he's done, fire up the same track and beat his score. These may not necessarily unlock in the same match - check your Steam Community to be sure. If one hasn't unlocked, just repeat the process on another new track.

Olympian - Earn triple a Gold requirement.
Earn three times the score you require to get a gold medal. Easy enough on Mono/Casual, hit as many coloured blocks as possible and earn Stealth by missing greys. A shorter track is likely to have a smaller requirement.

Bizarro - Fill all columns within 15 seconds. No greys, no matches.
Find a FAST track, I can recommend Slayer - War Zone - play as Pointman Elite and fill all columns with mis-matching blocks. If you happen to stumble on a match, press Esc and restart. You can try Pro, though its easier in Elite as there are 5 coloured blocks. Try to match the center column and either left or right first, then focus on the last one, ducking in and out of the gutter.

Idk why but the hardest achievement for me was the 30000 PPM one, and somehow that achievement is obtained by like 30% of players haha. Must be a personal skill issue. The other achievements were really fun.

Thanks for the guide and introducing me to the best character in the game other than Mono, that is Vegas. I usually hate the puzzling aspect of this game so I play with the mono characters but Vegas was really fun and chaotic.
