Easter Eggs

[Surelyfunke]

I'm curious as to what you guys got.

The very first one I got when I got Spore was, I think, YMCA (I THINK that's the name). 3 different pack members that don't belong to your species.

There's Aluminium Cell for finishing Cell in Hard.

There's one for completing Creature without being killed, but the name escapes me.

[Gus Smedstad]

I don't really think it's an Easter Egg if you can see it on the list of achievements without actually accomplishing it.  I'm not knocking the value of getting the achievement, I'm just saying that most of them are not secret.

There are half a dozen secret ones.  I've heard that one of them is for creating a Cerberus, but it doesn't happen if you use the Creature Creator.  Maybe it's only if you create one in-game.

EDIT: Apparently the "General Custer" achievement I got for killing off 30 tag-alongs in Creature stage is a secret one.

Uh, they are secret if you can't see the achievement list to begin with... (Achievements are stored on some server, not available if you do not connect, and I suspect many of us arr unable to connect...)

I've gotten one for not attacking anything in cell stage (herbivore, obviously)

The "three different allies" in creature, already mentioned.

One for completing an entire game in one session, when all I did was take a pre-played (as in, from cell to space) creature and stick it in the space stage on another planet...

In my very first game I got the "Encountered something you created in a previous game" one, because I met another of my race in civ stage.

Ah, and Cerberus. Right. I created it in-game, so, probably? (Something I heard about Cerberus is that the three things have to be different things, not three of the same thing. Honestly, I created it without even knowing there was an achievement for it.)

And some others...

[Zazazu]

The only one not mentioned that I have gotten was "Survivor" for not being killed in cell stage. I got it my first time through cell stage.

[Solowren]

I remember three of mine:

Something for extinctificating 20 different creatures in Creature stage.

Something for meeting a creature I made before (already mentioned).

And one for getting from Cell to Space in one session.

[Aggie]

There's also one for creating a creature in-game that maxes stats in at least 4 categories (for example, dance, sing, strike, pose, spit, etc.).

[Surelyfunke]

SPORE FAN - for logging 50 hours of Spore playing. HALP.

Joker - Input a cheat

Does this include non-achievement secrets, and "proper" Easter Eggs? I noticed SimCity 4 music in the Civilisation stage...

Oh yeah, I got that one, too.

That's a badge. Not really an easter egg, but it's pretty silly. Especially since you only get it from cheating in Space and it helps you by giving a badge point.

I got that max-stats one as well.

EDIT: New one: Speed Demon. Gotten by finishing Creature stage in under an hour.

Do these 'achievements' give you anything that you don't have/get when you play offline?  Or are they just for the lulz? If the former, they may be the only reason to have a legitimate copy of the game.

[Gus Smedstad]

They're just for lulz.  However, they're also goals to shoot for once you've mastered the game.  I may end up going for each of the personalities because you get a different award for "winning" space with each.

I've heard the MULE theme when trading at a planet before.

[kuronue]

I don't remember what it's called, but you can get one by going through all of Creature stage without legs or feet. Arms and hands are ok.

[Gus Smedstad]

Slugger.  You'll definitely get that if you do the Devolution Challenge.

[Insanity Prelude]

I'm only at Tribal right now, but I got the ones for having three pack members of different species, having three domesticated animals of different species (one of whom was a pack member that came through with me, apparently,) and one for meeting one of my own creations. Where can you view these badges besides where you first get them, anyway?

[Gus Smedstad]

Look under Achievements in the Sporepedia.

 - Gus

[Faizah]

From main load game screen, click 'Share', it should be under the highlighted option here:

(If you've got a legal serial number, obviously.)

Badges are something else entirely, viewed in Space stage. Here's a screenshot of that, with the icon that is on the button (which is at the bottom of the window, by where it tells you how much money you have) to click to bring it up highlighted.

[Aggie]

There's also one for flying for 200 meters without touching the ground. Seriously, that's what the description says.

[Insanity Prelude]

Aaah. So the achievements don't mean anything if you ARR'd it, gotcha

On to Civ stage. It's more fun than it should be to drive my cool car over to one of the backwater tribes and watch them run in terror.
(No wonder there were mushroom clouds in the speech bubbles during the "transition to Civ stage" video. My little froggies want to nuke everything. XD)

[Zazazu]

With pie. They want to nuke everything with pie.

[Insanity Prelude]

I see no flaw in this strategy! Nukes disguised as pies. The enemy'll never know what hit them.

Careless Parent: Losing 5 planets (in Space, obviously)

[J. M. Pescado]

You get that one even if it's 5 allied planets, not yours, that get lost.

[Surelyfunke]

That consoles me. I am not a careless parent of my own children.

Not 100% of the time, anyway.
