Retrowave - 100% walkthrough (EN)
By rouz
The purpose of this guide is to help you get all 44 game achievements.

I put the achievements in a specific order for a reason. While none of them are missable, it is easier to get an achievement by completing the other ones beforehand.

Time: 15-20 hours (depending on skill and playstyle)

I hope this guide is helpful!

Category 1 - Instant Achievements (easy)
For the following achievements, all you need to do is to either click the right things or simply launch some game modes
One-way
Play one-way mode
Simply finish a game of "one-way"
First Run
Play your first game
If you completed any of the previous achievements, this one will have been unlocked already.
Easy
Play easy mode
Select any mode, then set the difficulty to "easy", then finish a race
Normal
Play normal mode
When playing any gamemode, select "Normal" difficulty
Hard
Play hard mode
Simply launch any mode, select "hard" difficulty, and finish a race
Peaceful
Play peaceful mode
This one is a bit different. Since there are no cars, there is no way to fail. So when doing this, make sure to select "Time Attack"
Time Attack
Play time attack mode
Simply launch the mode and finish a race
Speed Bomb
Play speed bomb mode
Just launch the gamemode and complete a race
Category 2: "Expert" Achievements (medium)
These 4 achievements require you to get 50,000 points on "Hard" in each mode. 3 are pretty easy, but "Time Attack" one is more difficult with a special strategy
One-way expert
Reach 50,000 score in Hard
This one is done in the "one-way" mode
Two-way Expert
Reach 50,000 score in Hard
This one is done in "two-way" mode
Speed Bomb Expert
Reach 50,000 score in Hard
This one can be done in the "speed bomb" mode
Time Attack Expert
Reach 50,000 score in Hard
The strategy here is as follows. Select the second car (for max speed), then select "Grid" map, then reach 50,000 by passing close to the vehicles. If confused, below is a video of me doing it:
Category 3: "Collecting" achievements (hard)
For the following achievements, you are required to collect X (either money or a certain number of runs)
80s Kid
Reach $1000
You will have unlocked this achievement by completing the previous ones
The Symbol
Buy the 2nd car
The important thing here is that out of the max power cars, this one is the cheapest. For further achievements, I would recommend using this car as it makes earning money much easier.
80s Teen
Reach $10000
Self-explanatory, but remember one IMPORTANT thing. This amount MUST be available (meaning it doesn't matter if you earned that amount, only current money counts)
Confirmed Driver
Play 10 times
Self-explanatory, you will get this achievement if you complete the previous ones
80s Adult
Reach $100000
For the next 4 achievements, do the following. Select "time attack", then a random map, then finish as many time attacks as possible. Why? Because by completing time attacks, you will get both the required number of runs and the required amount of money. Also make sure not to spend too much.
Night Runner
Play 100 times
80s Boss
Reach $1000000
Neon Driver
Play 1000 times
Category 4: "Epilogue" achievements (easy)
I strongly recommend getting the following achievements only after reaching $1,000,000. However, if you want, you can always get them earlier
80s Color Please
Buy a new paint
Neon Car
Buy neon wheels
Stutututu
Buy turbo
I don't have your time
