Introduction
Before we begin, this game will require at least three playthroughs for all the achievements.

Playthrough 1: Collecting all miscellaneous achievements including ones where you need to die.
Playthrough 2: Banana no-death playthrough.
Playthrough 3: Human no-death playthrough.

1 and 3 can possibly be combined if you savescum by backing up your save (...\AppData\LocalLow\Fluxscopic Ltd\You Are Not A Banana Better Edition) but I don't recommend this. A fast playthrough takes like 15mins, so it barely saves time.

In the guide I'll note where you need to back up your save if you are going for two playthroughs.
Check your death count by pressing TAB.

The game does offer manual saving and loading, but your death count is stored separately from your game save, so loading an older save won't reverse your death count.

Title Screen
On the title screen, press up to highlight the banana, then left/right to switch the banana to human before starting a New Game.

(1/25) Not a Banana - Get Past Title Screen


Apartment
Check the fridge and table. Exit your room, try to leave, then go back into your room to begin the next task.

[BACKUP 1]

Head upstairs and look out the window.
(2/25) Nepholologist - Discover an Interesting Cloud

Enter (yes to sneak) the room on the left and exit immediately.
(3/25) Ninja Neighbor - Escape Upstairs Bedroom Undetected

Go back inside and switch off the stereo for another achievement.
(4/25) Death by Stereo - Turn Off Music the Dangerous Way

Head back downstairs (if you aren't) and use the breaker next to the stairs instead. Select switch 1 and let the guy punch you.
(5/25) Human Punchbag - Get Knocked Out

[LOAD 1]

Check you have 0 deaths. Use the breaker, but this time select switch 2.

Make a manual save now before going back to your room.

Time for a little mini game.
Walk around the room bumping into furniture/walls listening for your keys, and press spacebar to search that tile when you hear them rattle. The location is random.

There’s an achievement for finding them on your first try. The game counts your tries, so you'll know if you wasted your first attempt. If you fail, force close the game and reload to try again. Don't wait until after you've found the keys, as the game will autosave.
(6/25) Super Hearing - Find Keys First Try

After grabbing your keys, exit your room.

[BACKUP 2 (safety save)]

Save and exit your apartment.

Outside, you will notice a frog on the other side of the road who’s trying to cross. That frog needs to live.
Quickly run across the road (watch out for traffic), and push it across. Do not pick it up.

Examine your bike and you’ll need the combination, so head back inside. Double check to make sure the frog is alive and somewhere safe.

[BACKUP 3]

Take a nap.

In this little minigame, avoid the black dot while collecting the numbers.

Before beating it, purposely fail by walking into the black dot for an achievement.
(7/25) Dead Bed Head - Die in Your Sleep

[LOAD 3]

This time collect the numbers to finish the minigame. Note the combination across the screen for an achievement later.
(8/25) Dream Master - Survive Your Worst Nightmare

Drop a manual save and go back outside.

[BACKUP 4]

If you haven't already, get run over by traffic.
(8/25) Road Kill - Greet a Car with Your Body

Remember the frog? What you need to do is quickly unlock your bike, and ride over it.
(10/25) Frog Killer - Kill a Frog

[LOAD 4] or previous save if you aren't making backups. You need that frog alive.

Run over to the frog and pick it up.
(11/25) Frog Saviour - Rescue Frog from Traffic

If you didn't get it earlier, there’s an achievement for unlocking the bike on your first attempt.
(12/25) Memory Master - Unlock Bike First Try

On your bike, try to exit left for an achievement.
(13/25) Wrong Way - Attempt to Leave the Wrong Way

[BACKUP 5 (safety save)]

Finally, exit right.

Store
During the race, you need to run over the potholes to go faster. They are located:
  • Middle
  • Bottom
  • Middle
  • Top
Don’t worry if you miss one, it’ll loop around again. It’s more important you don’t get run over by traffic. It's not difficult.

[BACKUP 6]

Get off your bike at the top of the screen and inspect the backpack on the ground.
(14/25) Death by Curiosity - Examine Discarded Bag

[LOAD 6]

Park your bike at the yellow arrow. Enter the store.

Inside, the clerk will ask you if you like the music. Answer “no”.
(15/25) Music Critic - Be Mean About Someones Music

Grab the milk from the fridge, and try to exit without paying for another achievement.
(16/25) Milk Thief - Attempt to Leave Shop Without Paying

Pay for the milk and exit the store. Get on the old black bike.

[BACKUP 7]

Exit right.

Time for round 2, but with added obstacles. Before beating it, ride into traffic cones (around the large pothole) and into a piano (they come through the middle of the road) for two achievements.
(17/25) Conehead - Greet a Traffic Cone with Your Head
(18/25) Death by Freeform Jazz - Get Run Over by Rogue Piano

[LOAD 7]

Beat the minigame this time without dying. Potholes are located:
  • Middle
  • Top
  • Bottom
  • Top

After the chase, speak to the doorman; examine the stairs to the northeast. Neither lead anywhere, so exit right to the graveyard.

Graveyard
Examine the headstone with the red flowers.
“Through rain and wind, my heart I will follow.”

Follow the yellow arrow right “through rain and wind” until the next dialogue.

For next part, listen for a heartbeat. It beats quicker/louder the closer you are to your target.
Usually you just need to go straight north or south. Even if you go the wrong way, the game will just tell you to turn back. Your destination is plot of grass with no tombstones and a dead tree. A bunch of flowers surrounding it will bloom when you get close.

Pick up the ticket the bird dropped and exit the cemetery.

Art Gallery
Give the doorman your ticket and enter the Art Gallery.

Inspect all five works of art in the first room to progress the story. Feel free to explore everything else.

Examine the front door to discover you're locked in.

[BACKUP 8]

Enter the room on the right and examine the statue of David from the right.
(19/25) Death by David - Get Squashed by Statue of David

[LOAD 8]

Exit north. Follow the hallway left and make a save when you see the janitor cart.

Keep going left for another sound minigame. It’s a repeat of the key minigame from the start, but this time you’re listening for a distinctive hollow sound. I believe the game is giving you a hint when it tells you the direction the janitor's cart is facing. On each of my playthroughs it was always along the southern wall.
Find it on your first try to unlock an achievement. Like before, force close the game if you fail on the first try.
(20/25) Master Detective - Discover Janitor's Door First Try

Talk to the janitor and assuming you saved the frog, give him the frog and take part in his experiment.
(21/25) Time Traveler - Travel Through Spacetime

Back at your house, go check on your bike and then have your cereal for the credits roll.

Playthrough 2
After beating the game once, you will now play as a banana. There are three achievements to be aware of during your banana playthrough. You can ignore all the optional events this time, just follow the event log in the upper left.

Remember this run should be a no-death plathrough. If you die, you can ALT+F4 immediately (before the screen fades out) and the game won't register your death.

The game is largely identical, except:
  • When turning off the breaker, select Switch 1, instead of Switch 2.
  • A second white pixel spawns after three numbers during the nightmare minigame.


After beating the second chase minigame and you’re outside the gallery, inspect the giant snail.
(22/25) The Odd Couple - Mount Giant Snail as a Banana

After the graveyard sequence and the doorman lets you enter the gallery, talk to him again.
(23/25) Bananas for Breakfast - Provoke Doorman as a Banana

And finally if you didn’t die on your banana playthrough.
(24/25) Master Death Dodger - Complete Game as Banana Without Dying

Playthrough 3 (if needed)
After beating the game as a banana, you can play as human again for your final achievement.

Remember if you die, you can ALT+F4 immediately (before the screen fades out) and the game won't register your death. This won't take you more than 20 minutes.
(25/25) Death Dodger - Complete Game as Human Without Dying
