The description says “all types,” but it really just means one of each of the listed enemies. This should occur naturally, assuming you’re as bloodthirsty as most gamers.

Trophy Rank

Bronze

Hidden?

No

Description

Destroy a Tatepakkan from the back.

Tips

Tatepakkans will never turn around, so you can easily jump over one and shoot it from behind.

Description

Destroy three or more enemies using a Shimobey explosion.

Shimobeys appear in Blast Man’s stage and Gear Fortress 2. Because they run around chasing Mega Man, it’s easy to lure them toward or shoot them into other enemies.

Trophy Rank

Bronze

Hidden?

No

Description

Destroy 20 Crunch Don, Press Don, and Sniper Armor D in total. (1st Play; excludes Challenge Mode.)

Tips

Unfortunately, there are not 20 of these enemies in a single run of each stage. Since you have to do this before completing Gear Fortress 4, you’ll need to replay a few stages. There are lots of Crunch Dons in Block Man’s stage.

Trophy Rank

Bronze

Hidden?

No

Description

Destroy a Mini Shpider using an acid pool, BBQ grill, or other environmental hazard.

Tips

You’ll likely get this without even trying in Acid Man’s stage. If you don’t, there are multiple Shpiders at the start of the stage, over a green acid pool. Just shoot them to release the Mini Shpiders.

Trophy Rank

You have to aim for the pilot without destroying the mech.

Destroy an Arc Weldy obstacle.

It’s a good practice to destroy these anyway, so you may get them naturally as you make your way through Impact Man’s stage. Use a Charge Shot or special weapon to hit them.

Trophy Rank

No

Description

Defeat a Mawaru C using your Mega Buster without Speed Gear.

Tips

This just takes a little bit of timing, or you can shoot repeatedly until you get lucky. There are numerous Mawaru Cs in Block Man’s stage, some of which will go back and forth until you’ve destroyed the stone walls blocking their path.

Trophy Rank

Bronze

Hidden?

No

Description

Defeat 30 enemies while their guard is broken. (1st Play; excludes Challenge Mode.)

Unlike the Brute Force achievement, you’ll need to guard break enemies and then take them out while they’re stunned. Use the Speed Gear to land a follow-up attack after the initial Charge Shot.

Trophy Rank

Bronze

If not by accident, you can get this easily against Mini Shpiders in Acid Man or Torch Man’s stages.

Description

Destroy 80 enemies using Power Gear. (1st Play; excludes Challenge Mode.)
