We thought it would be fun to enhance the playing experience during the championship by introducing
Game Achievements. Achievements are small incremental goals that track your progress
through the game. They can serve as additional personal challenges or provide extra bragging rights.
Some achievements are awarded automatically, as you advance through the game. For others, you'll
have to go out of your normal way and try extra hard to complete them. In addition, some
achievements—namely those related to easter eggs—are only available in the
cartridge edition of the game.
With over 40 in total, how many can you earn?
