Turn the example into a practice session
- Finish the course once before chasing the timer. Identify the start, the major terrain changes and the victory area.
- Study the rider and vehicle shown in the source. A route that relies on a rocket or ejection will not behave like an ordinary bicycle run.
- Keep the same character and opening approach across attempts. Change one decision at a time so the next result is interpretable.
- Compare your progress at the same visible landmark. A faster start is useful only if you also reach the finish.
- On Steam, inspect both the victory time and the achievement state after the run. Preserve an uninterrupted replay or capture if you want to compare attempts.
Common false positives
- Counting the duration of a clipped YouTube excerpt instead of the game’s timer.
- Completing a similarly named custom level instead of the featured original.
- Calling an old “world record” title a current verified record.
- Treating a browser time below ten seconds as proof that Steam has recorded the achievement.
- Inventing precise press durations from footage without an input overlay.
Express Delivery is separate from record achievements
The official Express Delivery wording specifies the named level and time threshold. It does not include the ten-competitor condition used by SpeedRunner, Hostile Takeover and Elitist. Read those as separate achievement requirements.
If a qualifying Steam completion does not unlock, note the build, level identity, character, displayed time and whether the run was live or a replay. This guide has no verified universal fix for a missing unlock.
Video lesson · 0:00–0:17
Study a historical Happy Green Hills rocket route
The creator labels this run 8.80 seconds. The reviewed footage shows the Happy Green Hills identity, rocket-chair movement, an airborne dismembered rider and a victory banner. Treat it as a historical route study, not a verified current record or a demonstrated Steam achievement.

The YouTube player loads when you press Watch.
- 0:00 · Confirm the original course ↗
The opening menu identifies Happy Green Hills by Jim Bonacci. The recording enters a replay, which is distinct from performing a live Steam attempt.
- 0:04 · The route leaves the ground ↗
Wheelchair Guy is airborne near the early boulder. This is a rocket-based route; simply copying it with a bicycle would miss the important difference.
- 0:10 · Follow the rider through the finish ↗
The separated body continues through the air, followed by a victory banner. The small legacy recording does not independently establish a readable 8.80 timer in the reviewed finish frame; that exact time is attributed to the title.
Footage review and scope
2010 browser replay · external video · not a Steam unlock. Opening identity, airborne route, separated body, victory banner and closing menu visually inspected. Exact 8.80 value comes from the creator’s title. No present-day leaderboard or Steam unlock evidence is shown.
Reviewed 2026-09-21. Original explanation by Kingy; footage remains hosted by the credited creator. This is not a Kingy gameplay recording.
