It is possible to get the skater straight away if you are using kong by buying it for 300. kong is slower then standalone so an alternate method would be to get the achievements in levels 4 and 8, getting the skater for level 9. potential timesave?

That is still ng+ if you already have the credits. Any% the game must be treated as new.

The use of credits is now officially banned and this is why
