2. Collectibles & Completion Achievements (7)
In Vogue
Unlock your first Snapshot. Some Snapshots are unlocked simply by reaching certain points in a level, while others require collecting optional items such as Magic Beans. You should unlock this achievement early in Level 1.
Family Album
Find 50% of all Snapshots. There are 70 Snapshots in total, so you need to collect at least 35.
Paparazzi
Collect all Snapshots. You can check your progress in the Scrapbook, which lists each level’s objectives and shows which ones you have completed.
Fee-Fi-Fo-Fum
Find all Magic Beans. Each level, except Ogre Killer and Final Fight, contains 12 Magic Beans. This means you need to collect 108 Magic Beans in total.
For the People
Free all captured characters. You can find them in the following levels:
- Seven Dwarves in Shrek’s Swamp.
- Three Blind Mice and Eight Prisoners in the Prison levels.
- Tiny Tot, Short Fuse, Little Bird, and Small Fry in The Mines.
- Porkchop Brothers in Prison Break.
Top o’ The Morning
Find Crazy Larry in all his appearances. He runs upgrade shops and also appears in certain levels to charge you for passage.
You can find him in the following locations:
- Shrek’s Swamp: Opens the passage.
- Spooky Forest: First upgrade shop and opens the passage.
- Walking The Path: Second upgrade shop and opens the passage.
- Prison Break: Third upgrade shop.
- Cookie, Cookie: Final encounter.
At your Service
Complete all the King’s tasks in Far Far Away. There are six mission tasks in the original game, so make sure you complete all of them.
3. Upgrades & Coins Achievements (6)
Getting Stronger
Buy your first upgrade. You can find the first upgrade shop in Spooky Forest.

Buy 4 upgrades.
Fully Upgraded
Purchase all 9 upgrades available in the game.
Pocket Change / Pot o’ Gold / Make It Rain
Collect 250, 500, and 1,000 coins to unlock these three achievements.
You don’t need to have 1,000 coins in your inventory at the same time. The achievements track your total collected coins. However, they don’t unlock immediately after reaching the required amount. You need to reach the next checkpoint for the achievements to pop.
4. Combat Achievements (6)
Green Horn / Villains Beware / Bane Of Villains / They See Me Coming
Defeat 125, 250, 500, and 1,000 enemies to unlock these achievements.
Got them all!
Defeat at least one enemy of every type. I recommend never running past an enemy encounter so you don’t miss any enemy types.
The original walkthrough includes the following enemy types:
- Snails
- Turtles
- Piranhas
- Robin Hood’s Merry Men
- Rats
- Bats
- Pumpkins
- Trolls
- Spiders and Giant Spiders
- Prison Guards
- Frogs
- Stone Warriors
- Knights and Potion Throwers
- Fat Knight (first appears as a boss in Spooky Forest and later returns as a regular enemy)
Everybody’s Special
Use every character’s special ability at least once. Whenever you unlock a new character, I recommend using their special ability as soon as you have a charge available.
| Character | Special Ability |
|---|---|
| Shrek | Lift |
| Fiona | Time Slow |
| Donkey | Burro Blast |
| Gingy | Cookie toss to lure enemies |
| Lil’ Red | Exploding apples |

7. Photo Mode & Miscellaneous Achievements (4)
Say Cheese
Open Photo Mode for the first time.
In Focus
Spend more than 10 minutes in Photo Mode. Simply open Photo Mode and leave the game running for at least 10 minutes.
Note that the achievement unlocks after you exit Photo Mode, not while you are still inside it.
Giddy Up
Watch Shrek ride Donkey as an idle animation.
There are several idle animations in the game, and it can take some time before the required one triggers. I initially tried waiting for it intentionally in the first level, but it wouldn’t trigger. Later, while playing through the same level normally, the achievement unlocked without me even noticing the animation.
