"Frog fan" Achievement in Minutes
By N2Drew
Bumping into frogs 1000 times? This might take a bit, should you do it the normal way, that is.
Fortunately, there exists a little trick that drastically reduces the time and effort needed to earn this achievement.

Intro
Thanks for checking this guide out! I can only assume you're here because you didn't bump enough frogs during your playthrough and want to get this over with as quickly as possible.

To start off, you need a mouse to do this efficiently. While a controller also works, it will yield much worse results. You'll see in a moment on why that is.
Bottom Line
  1. Make your way to any frog NPC. In this example, we'll kindly ask our favourite amphibian boss, Pepper, for assistance.

    UPDATE: Thanks to user Coopatroopa for pointing out that this trick can be improved by performing it on two frog NPCs simultaneously instead of just one. An example of where this can be done is in the credits (Home after beating the game).

  2. Position Niko in such a way that their and Pepper's shadow are very close or just barely touching. It might take a few attempts to find the optimal spot.


  3. Test your spot by rotating the camera using your mouse. And by rotating the camera, I mean to rotate it back and forth like there's no tomorrow.


  4. If everything was done correctly, then you should see Pepper continuously hop (and croak, to everyone's delight) by just rotating the camera. If that's not the case, repeat step 2.

  5. Every hop / croak of Pepper equates to one frog-bump. So by using your mad camera rotating skills, you can farm those 1000 bumps much faster than by walking back and forth through the same NPC, which is what I did before accidentally stumbling upon this method.

  6. Save time and enjoy the rest of your day :)
Outro
And that's it! Not sure if an entire guide was necessary for this, though. But hey, I've never done one until now, so at least I can scratch this off my bucket list.

Hope to have helped! Feel free to comment and rate.
Stay fresh and have a good one.

if you go to home after you beat the game and run around in circles where the frogs are surrounding the frog king, you can do it like that too

I found a bug when you stand between a frog and the back of a bench. this is hard to do, but then the frog will jump without stopping. when I started turning the camera, I got the achievement in literally 5 seconds

Found a slightly faster way. If you plant yourself on the right side of the train door with the frogs in it, you can get three at once! It takes a moment to jam yourself in there though.

Thought I should mention that baby froggers don't apply for this achievement. :( Tried it for the two baby froggers at Hairball City in front of the bench next to Moomy.
