Gold Star Mission Guide (x06)
================================================== =============================
Below is a list of all 103 Gold Star missions that are in Toy Box mode. Once
you’ve completed a mission, the description changes to what you had to do to
unlock that star. I’ve listed all of them with the mission name first and the
COMPLETED in-game description second. For the ones that are a little more
complicated I've added in a more detailed description after the in-game one.
As of this edit the guide should be complete. This is the same as my post on
www.xbox360achievements.org.
1) Amateur Bug Collector
------------------------
You’ve rescued 3 caterpillars.
See info under Master...
2) Amateur Ghost Sucker
-----------------------
You’ve captured 3 ghosts with the lightning rod.
See info under Master...
3) Amateur Haunter
------------------
You’ve possessed 3 townspeople.
See info under Master...
4) Amateur Kicker
-----------------
You’ve dropkicked 5 townspeople.
See info under Pro...
5) Amateur Photographer
-----------------------
You took 1000 points worth of pictures.
See info under Pro...
6) Apprentice Painter
---------------------
You’ve painted 3 buildings.
See info under Master...
7) Barrel Buster
----------------
You’ve mastered the barrel buster trick.
This is done in a car and I did all the car star missions at the same time,
one after the other at same place. Go to the portion of the stunt track with
the "ramp races" NOT the "trick park". At the start of this section you'll
have the customization device directly on your left. You are looking for the
blue ramp with the blue boxes stacked on it, should be roughly in the center
of this top area between the starting points for the actual races. Now that
you know what you are aiming for, hit the gas and aim for either corner of
the ramp, you don't want to hit the boxes as they will break your combo.
Once you make your attempt and land way down below, you will see a large
mural "painted" right in front of you a short way in the distance. Hit the
gas and drive right into this mural to teleport right back to where we
started. How considerate! Now this specific move is 2 barrel rolls followed
by a spin. The game chimes when you complete a single move so be sure to
listen for 2 chimes on the rolls before starting the spin. A barrel roll is
performed by holding "X" and pressing left or right on the left stick and
a spin is done by holding "A" and pressing left or right on the left stick.
All the moves have to be completed in succession before you hit the ground.
8) Big Spender
--------------
You’ve spent 30,000 gold
9) Bone Orchard
---------------
You’ve mastered the bone orchard trick
See Barrel Blaster for general tips. Now this specific move is 2 spins
followed by a roll. The game chimes when you complete a single move so be sure
to listen for 2 chimes on the spins before starting the roll. A spin is
performed by holding "A" and pressing left or right on the left stick and a
roll is done by holding "X" and pressing left or right on the left stick. All
the moves have to be completed in succession before you hit the ground.
10) Breaking Boards
-------------------
You’ve smashed 25 crates or barrels
11) Cow in the Well
-------------------
You’ve thrown a cow in the well
12) Cow Tipper
--------------
You’ve shoulder charged 10 cows
If you've forgot, a shoulder charge is performed by pressing "Y" while moving.
13) Customizer of the Future
----------------------------
You’ve collected all of the customizations for Zurg’s Spaceport
You'll get this once you find the prize capsule that contains the last
building customization piece from Zurg's set. You'll probably have this before
getting "Western Collector". If you search everywhere, you should come across
all of them eventually.
14) Demolitions Expert
----------------------
You’ve startled 20 townspeople with TNT
Go to town, grab a barrel and toss it into a crowd. You should only need 4 or
5 tosses.
15) Dragon Rally
----------------
You’ve completed all the Dragon races
First off you have to be riding the dragon to open these races and you unlock
him after going through the big tree in the Enchanted Glen. Now as you are
riding around you'll see pink light beacons that indicate the starting points.
There are 3 starting points and they are located: by the pink bear in the
Enchanted Glen, generally in the middle of town at the "T" intersection and
the last one is in Zurg's Spaceport. Each starting point has MULTIPLE races
that you unlock for clearing each race with at least a bronze. You don't get
to choose which race you start on, it will automatically cycle to the next
one when you get a bronze or better. You'll know when to stop when you get
back to the first race you did at that starting point.
All the races you need to obtain at least a bronze on are listed below:
a) The Big Mushroom Coin Race
b) Dragon’s Breath Coin’s Race
c) Fairy Wing Folly Race
d) Fireballs-A-Flying Coin Race
e) Dragon Run Coin Race
f) Treasure Trove Coin Race
g) Fuzzy Dragon Coin Race
h) Crazy Dragon Coin Race
i) Spaceport Coin Race
j) Enchanted Crate Coin Race
k) Floating Fury Coin Race
l) Space Dragon Coin Race
16) Enchanted Customizer
------------------------
You’ve collected all of the customizations for the Enchanted Glen
You'll get this once you find the prize capsule that contains the last
building customization piece from the Glen set. You'll probably have this
before getting "Western Collector". If you search everywhere, you should come
across all of them eventually.
17) Enchanted Sheriff
---------------------
You’ve completed all of the Enchanted Glen missions
Simply complete all the missions given by the pink bear. Keep in mind that
you can open the mission window with the "back" button and the press "A" to
get mission details. I'm not 100% sure, but the 2 Merlin missions may count
toward this as well. You should unlock his clothes after going thru big tree
for the first time. Just grab a townsperson, toss them into the tailor and
build Merlin. When he comes out just hit "X" to talk to him.
18) Engine City
---------------
You’ve customized 5 buildings with the engine roof
You should find this prize capsule in the "ramp races" portion of the stunt
track. Once you have it, just stand out front of the building and press "X"
to open the customize screen. You are looking for the icon that looks like
a head over a roof and it will only light up on buildings that you can roof
mount objects. Once you find the suitable buildings just select the chrome
engine object from the list.

----------------------
You’ve grown and mined a gold vein
After you purchase and build the Goo object for $2500, hit the button on the
green side and out comes the green goo. Now find the closest gold vein on the
ground and throw the goo at it. Hit "X" to mine with the pick.
24) Hang Time
-------------
You’ve mastered the Hang Time trick
Just launch the white car off a ramp at full speed and you should get it
without trying. If for some reason you are having problems then just go
follow my tip for Barrel Blaster and you will get it there.
25) Haunted Explorer
--------------------
You’ve found all the prize capsules inside of Sid’s Haunted House
You'll get this once you find the last prize capsule in the haunted house area.
You'll have this before getting "Western Collector". If you search everywhere,
you should come across all of them eventually.
26) Having a Ball
-----------------
You’ve hit 30 things with the ball
I swear that it says only "30 things", but I know I threw WAY more than 30
balls at all kinds of stuff before getting this one. I guess I don't know
exactly what "30 things" count toward this, so just keep launching balls like
a madman as you run around.
27) High Roller
---------------
You’ve master the High Roller trick
See Barrel Blaster for general tips. Now this specific move is just 3 barrel
rolls in a row. The game chimes when you complete a single move so be sure to

open the Enchanted Glen level. An easy way to do this is when the pink bear
sends you a message saying the town is under attack, go do something else for
awhile. When you finally do get to town, pretty much everything is turned
to a rainbow caterpillar so just break out your fairy wand (with the
strawberry top) and press "RT" in front of everything until they are all

also carry people into the Enchanted Glen level and let them get turned to

99) Western Collector
---------------------
You’ve collected all the capsules in Woody’s Roundup
This is awarded for collecting EVERY capsule in the Toy Box from all the
locations. There are a ton of them but most are in the open. By game’s end,
you'll probably only be missing 10 max. I was being very systematic checking
everywhere and by the end of the game I swore I had them all. It turned out I
was missing 5. Here were my last ones:
During the mission in Zurg's base you need to use a cannon 3 times to open
the exit. In the circular room that looks like a main command center the
cannon is on the opposite side of the control panel (you don't interact with
them they are just there in the background. Head to the cannon and walk
behind it along the outside rail for this one.
Next, in the Haunted Mansion after opening the the first door with the 3
locks you'll be looking down a long hallway and need to make some jumps. After
the very first gap you should see a handle on the right wall, walk up to it
and press and hold "X" then push the wall back for this one.
Also in the Haunted Mansion, you get to a section that has a dining room
table and two switches that you can step on to open pictures. In the adjacent
room that has the stairs there is another ground switch (don't know how I
didn't see it) and it opens the cabinet for another one.
The last two were all in the same portion of the stunt track. First off,
while heading to the stunt track from Slinky's farm, take the left path. This
will lead you to what I'm calling the "ramp races" section. Straight ahead
you'll find a white unicorn up on a podium and the area you want for both of
these is the opening just to the right of the unicorn. Head in and you will
pass a short blue ramp on the left and a rock pillar thing on your right.
Down the hill you'll see another blue ramp on the left and a dirt ramp on the
right. Head right and hit the jump. When you land turn to the right and you
should see the tops of the two arches that you would have driven under if you
had initially gone left. It is on top of the arch.
Now for the last one keep heading down the track and when you get to the
bottom, flip a 180 and head back up the first 2 hills. Stop for a second
and you'll be looking at 2 dirt roads separated by a dirt berm in the middle.
To the left is a rocky mountainside that doesn't look like you can climb but
you can. Gun it and head for the top corner that should be right in front of
you. The capsule is on top of that ledge. If you are having trouble with the
car, drive thru some green goo and change into the monster truck which might
make it a little easier to reach the top.
If after getting all those and you still don't have it then be sure you got
them all from the Candy Store. Keep tossing balls at the switch button at the
top until you only get coins. A few times for me the button got stuck and
didn’t do anything. If that happens, just go press a button on another
building and come back and keep going until you only get coins.
100) Winner’s Circle
--------------------
You’ve attempted 20 Bullseye races
just keep doing horse races until you have it. You can do the same one over and
