Introduction
This is a basic guide listing all the achievements in Zool Redimensioned, and how to acquire them. There is 2 main modes in the game, which both need to be completed to get 100% achievements. 'Ultimate Ninja Mode' is closer to the original (no double jump, being the biggest thing of note), and Redimensioned (with double jump and improved game-play).

When you complete the game once, you unlock a 'party' mode for playing locally with friends, although this contains no achievements.

Total achievements: 28

Saved By the Bell
Use a strength tester to boost your jump
On levels 6-1 to 6-4, there are bells which can be power-jumped on-to, which launch you upwards. Jump on one of these to get this. There is one right at the start of level 6-1 for this.

Sing Us a Song...
Find the secret in Music World
On level 2-4, you need to jump on the on the keyboard in order. The order can be found here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3320401346
I Got a Brand New Combine Harvester
Pull a radish and slice a carrot in the same level
On level 3-4, there is 2 radishes you can pull out near a checkpoint in the middle of the map, pull these out (by attacking them) and kick the top off one of the large carrots on this level to get this. There is some carrots right of the radishes, making this one easy. Radishes can be found here: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3320401083
Carrots look like this: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3320401154
Silent Assassin
Defeat the boss of any world without killing any other beasties
You need to defeat any boss in the game without killing anything else. I recommend level 1-4 for this as its by far the easiest to run to. Do this in Redimensioned mode to double jump over as many enemies as possible.
Never Tell Me the Odds
Successfully complete a secret level
Complete a secret level. This can be accessed by completing the achievement 'Sing Us a Song...', or by collecting one of the ships throughout the game.
Ultimate Ninja
Complete Ultimate Ninja Mode
Self explanatory.
Ninja of the Nth Collection
Collect all the big collectibles in Redimensioned Mode
You need to collect the 3 collectibles on every level in Redimensioned Mode to get this.
The Floor is Lava
Complete 1-4 without touching the treacle
To do this, do not set foot in the brown treacle. You will need to do this by jumping from log to log and platform to platform. I recommend Redimensioned Mode for this for the double jump.
Good News For Ninjas
Complete both Redimensioned and Ultimate Ninja Mode
Fully complete both modes.
Gone in 9.840 Seconds
Beat a developer speedrun record.
When you complete any of the target times on the levels, it will show the developer speedrun times afterwards (the text flashes). Beat any of these times to get this achievement. I found 1-4 to be the easiest.

UPDATE: Full credit to Leonours (comments) for this. As per their recommendation, the level 5-3 is far easier than my suggestion, so please use this instead. If you find this helpful in any way I invite you to send them an award to their profile as thanks. Thank you for sharing this with us.
Collection Perfection
Collect all the big collectibles in Ultimate Ninja Mode
You need to collect the 3 collectibles on every level in Ultimate Ninja Mode to get this. (5-1 is particularly difficult to complete in this mode and most people will get stuck on it, please read below on how to get it).
Collection Perfection
Collection Perfection
Level 5-1
So this one needs its own section due to how stupidly nonsensical it is. As you cannot double-jump in this mode, reaching the first collectable on this level is particularly tricky and requires a bit of trial-and-error, patience and luck. Be prepared to die a few times doing this.

I recommend hitting the nearby checkpoint WITHOUT picking up the super-jump (you will need it). The super-jump alone is not enough to reach the collectable.

The problematic collectable can be found above this location (notice the super-jump on the right, do not hit it yet):

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3320414849

The checkpoint here can be found just right of this screenshot, as can the second collectable for this level, which is below to the right of the checkpoint.

Starting from the checkpoint, make your way back below the collectable WITHOUT PICKING UP THE SUPER JUMP.

What you want to do is move to this position, and wait for any of the falling green bolts to re-appear if any dropped:

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3320416807

The aim of this bit, is to head down and left to the nearest platform, then head straight back to the red block. Once we have seen a red ball appear, you need to stand on top of the red blocks otherwise the red ball will hit you and disappear. There is bit of a knack to this, but if you are seeing the red ball appear below, you are doing this correctly (Note: the red balls on the top-left are NOT of any use. Please ignore them). If all of the green bolts are in place, the ball will bounce up both levels and head right towards the super-jump, and fall in the hole to the right for about 2 seconds.

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3320420360

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3320420332

Jump next to the super jump, and when the ball bounces out the hole, hit the super jump. At the apex of the bounce, you want to bounce off the red ball up to the ledge towards the collectable (top-left off-of the green-paint bucket, where the super jump is):

https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3320420590

Be careful not to hit the spikes as this will launch you right, away from the collectable. If you hit the red ball prematurely, or it bounces out of range, restart from the checkpoint by hitting the spikes. It will take a few attempts to get right, but it is possible, albeit frustrating as hell.

If there are any others you feel needs a walk though, then let me know!
Gone in 9.840 Seconds (Developer Speed-run Times)
As requested, I have put together some tips for beating the developer speed-run times in Zool. The developer times are the times below your time when you complete a level.

In plain English, you just have to get to the end as fast as possible. They are all possible. You need to continually move and jump over everything to get to the end without hitting anything.

Some things to remember/help with this one:

  • Don't collect items
  • Don't hit checkpoints,
  • Don't stop moving towards the end,
  • Don't kill enemies,
  • Jump over any and every obstacle,
  • Use re-dimensioned mode for double jump,
  • If you make a mistake restart the level,

... and most importantly, be persistent - its an annoying achievement but is entirely possible.

UPDATE: Full credits to Leonours for the discovery (see comments). Level 5-3 is particularly easy to get this achievement, and I can confirm it is much easier than my original suggestion. Thank you for sharing this with us. I implore anyone who finds this helpful to leave an award on their profile as a thank you.
The End
https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2802951391

Thank you for using my guide, I hope it helped in some way. I made this purely off the back of the combine harvester achievement as this took some time to locate and pin down myself, so hopefully you haven't gone as wild as I did looking for that damn radish!

If this guide has helped please consider an up vote. If you are feeling especially generous, an award is always appreciated too :-)

Guide updated and credit given.

@Leonours, I have added full credit and updated the guide. Again thank you for the suggestion. Any issues please let me know and I will amend accordingly.
⛧DarkWraith⛧  [author] 23 Jul @ 2:39pm 
Thank you, that is very kind. I will update this shortly.

All credits to Leonours, I've done nothing. :happy_seagull:
Can't say for other person, but I think this addition to guide would help since there is not so much information about achievements for Zool. At least people will get a few options how to get that achievement. So no problem from my side.
⛧DarkWraith⛧  [author] 23 Jul @ 2:05pm 
@ Leonours and Andreysem7
⛧DarkWraith⛧  [author] 23 Jul @ 2:04pm 
Thanks both. Are you ok if I add this to the guide and add credit to you both?
Andreysem7 16 Jul @ 9:31pm 
Can confirm that developer record in level 5-3 quite easy to get. Tried with 1-1 and 1-4, but no luck. Got on level 5-3 from third attempt.
Also recommend to use "jump+down" combination on the go to get additional speed and crush some enemies on the way.
Thank you for your guide! :luv:
Leonours 28 Apr @ 10:21am 
I just accidentally got the developer record in level 5-3. :NekoBadSmile:
But I think the request I made in my previous comment will be useful for other people! Thanks so much for your guide anyway! All I have to do now is gather the time collectibles from worlds 6 and 7, and it'll be a 100% for me, thanks in part to you!
Leonours 28 Apr @ 10:06am 
Thank you so much! I read in your guide that levels 1-4 were pretty easy. A video or walkthrough of this would be amazing!
⛧DarkWraith⛧  [author] 28 Apr @ 9:50am 
Removed my comment and added tips to the guide for that one, enjoy! (screenshots to follow!)
