40 achievements in three families. None of them measures patience: not one asks you to play a hundred runs or to bank a million of anything you were already banking.
How they work
Achievements are written to the console's Shared/ folder through the community pd-achievements library, which means Trophy Case shows them next to every other game's. They are also readable inside CRANKWORKS itself, from the home menu, if you have not installed it. 6 of them show a progress bar. 8 are worth zero points on purpose — the optional and the funny ones do not pollute your completion percentage.
