First finish the story while registering items. Then use stage select to leave the radio, make secret soup and complete loss/undamaged fights without conflicting conditions.
| Goal | Do first | Additional check |

| Trashopedia: Nerd | Collect items in each stage | Actually open every entry in the menu |
| Music Lover | Replay Gecko Park | Drop the house while leaving the radio |
| Flawless / Game Over | Fight separate battles for each | Remain undamaged through the second phase / actually lose |
Scope and spoilers

Use stage select for remaining achievements. Even if described as a gentle game without failure, the late battle allows defeat; check the boss instructions.
