The amount of enemies on each level are as follows:
Round 1 - 4
Round 2 - 5
Round 3 - 5
Round 4 - 5
Round 5 - 6
Round 6 - 6
Round 7 - 7
Round 8 - 7
Round 9 onwards - 8
This means, that assuming you kill every enemy and don't let any escape, you will need to get every enemy, up to and including level 15 (which will total 101 enemies).
Tips:
Two-Enemy combo trick: When you have two enemies chasing you, pump up one a couple of times (without killing it), quickly turn away and then back to the enemies, pump up the second enemy, kill it, and then pump up the first one again to kill it.
Settings: Make sure your settings are set to 5 lives at the start, and that the next life bonus is set to 20,000/50,000/--,---
Fast Pump trick: Instead of standing still and pumping, which is slower, you can 'fast pump'. Basically, this involves standing near the enemy, press A to start the pump, then quickly alternate button presses of
and

(whichever direction the enemy is compared to your character). You'll save about 0.5-1 second each time you kill an enemy this way.

Staying mostly on the surface of the level made my life much easier. I did not dig much for this achievement, I waited for the enemies to come to me.

That's not a bad idea early on, but you can quickly get swamped in the later levels doing that.

I don't know if I could have done this without fast pumping. FYI...you don't need to alternate the D-Pad and 
to fast pump. You can simply hold the direction in which you are pumping and mash

Finding this a little hard? Me too but there was a trick or glitch from pac-man 256 found by Manic Ado that works on all these arcade games.
Create your own checkpoint. You will still have to compete the achievement action but if you create your own checkpoint you'll never start from scratch.
Example, you beat round, killing all enemies, create a checkpoint each level. Why risk it
Here's how.
-At any point you wish pause the game.
-select save and quit
-hit the guide button(big glowing X on the center of your controller)
-press start (or the 3 line button next to the guide button)
-select exit game
Go play, you'll start off on your new checkpoint, if you screw up..
-hit guide
-press start
-select manage game
-select save data
Now click on your save data and pick "delete from console"
-Do this a second time
Final step, launch the game, you'll start from you'll check point.
Repeat the first steps to make a new checkpoint as needed
I was contacted by a gamer who said this didn't work for them because the cloud data didn't sync right away. Can't be sure if this will be the case for everyone but if it happens wait say 15 mins after deleting the save from your console before starting the game.
Seems like a lot, it's really not. Good luck out there

You can abuse the save system to make this achievement very easy (if a bit time consuming). Sorry if this is a little long, I'm trying to make the instructions as clear as possible.
Play the game until you feel like you've made a good amount of progress towards the achievement. Then save and quit and follow the directions below to get a reusable checkpoint. Then keep playing from your checkpoint and try to get a little further and make a new checkpoint. If you mess up, or aren't doing as well as you would like, restore your previous checkpoint and try again. N.B. Your achievement will not actually pop until you go back online.
Personally I got to level 10, saved my progress, got to level 13, saved it again, then finished from there). It's a personal choice of how much risk vs hassle you want to put up with. You could save your progress after every single level. (Which would be a lot of waiting for the save to sync to the cloud). Or you could save every 3, or 5. I wouldn't bother saving until at least level 6 or 7, since the 1st few levels are pretty easy. You don't need to restart each time you die, you could allow yourself one death every 3 levels and have plenty left. If you can make it up to level 12 and still have 4 or 5 lives left you have a pretty good chance of finishing in couple attempts if you retry it from there.
NB: Going offline is optional, it provides a little bit of extra insurance against a fast sync as well as against operator error. You can just delete your local copy of the save whenever you want to restore your checkpoint. There is a very small chance it will synchronize your save while you are playing. Also if you are online you will have the ability to delete your save from the cloud as well (which you definitely do not want to do).
To “back up” a new checkpoint.
1) Go online if you are offline.
2) Save and quit.
3) Quit the game (hit xbox button, then menu/hamburger button and select quit)
4) Wait a while for it to synch up to the cloud (I would give it 10 to 15 minutes).
5) Load the game.
6) Go offline (OPTIONAL- If you are sharing your content via swapping home xboxes, you should still be able to play for a certain amount of time even offline, as long as you launch it first. Since the levels in the arcade collection are all pretty short, you should either be at the point where you are ready to go online again in just a few minutes.)
7) Continue to play
To restore your checkpoint
1) Xbox button then menu/hamburger and select manage game.
2) Go to the saved data for your gamertag and hit A, then select “DELETE FROM CONSOLE”. DO NOT SELECT “DELETE EVERYWHERE”.
3) Go online again (OPTIONAL).
4) Load the game and after the launch screens it will sync your save from the cloud.
5) Once it does this, go offline again, and give it another shot.
To go offline
1) Settings
2) All Settings
3) Network
4) Network settings
5) Go offline
To go online
1) Open sidebar
2) Go to settings section
3) Select connect to xbox live
4) Go online

I have had it work for other games thanks. But what always confuses me is how to make another save once I have gone offline and need to save again. Do I go online then save cuz sometimes it does not seem to work.

What's with the negative vote? Was it confusing? Did it not work for you? Do you feel like this is illegitimate?

Difficulty: Easyish
This can be exploited by saving the game and backing your data up to the cloud storage (It's in settings in application save data).
Do a level or two, killing everything possible, then save and quit.
Upload your data and continue with the game.
Save your lives at the start for the later levels. You don't want to die a lot on the easy levels.
If you die you can just quit and download your game progress from the cloud, similar to how you uploaded your progress.
This trophy should be earned in tandem with digging 1000 squares ideally.
Note: You can increase your lives to 5 in settings to make this easier.

This trophy, as stated, needs to be completed in a single playthrough. Make use of the cloud save method/exploit if needed, as soon as you complete a level without dying and killing all enemies upload your save to the cloud as a backup in case it all goes wrong, you can then resume from that point if need be. Try to kill every enemy in each level to maximise your progress towards this trophy, by doing so this will pop by level 13-15. It's worth noting that you will receive an extra life when you reach 20k and 60k points, this will make things easier. It's a good idea to obtain the points bonuses when you can, by dropping 2 boulders per level and collecting the pickup that then appears in the middle of the screen. As the levels progress the enemies will become smarter and faster, listen out for when the music speeds up as so will the enemies. This is obviously possible without using the cloud save method/exploit but will make this a lot easier. Be sure to alter the game settings so that you start with 5 lives as this will make this trophy easier.

If you can’t kill 100 opponents at once, then you can use the steamy method - you’ve completed the level, press start, select “save and exit”, after saving, exit the game, copy the save to a flash drive, once merged, load and try to follow the trail. level and so on until victory. At level 18 the trophy should drop.

You can take it on the 15th, if you don’t miss anyone. I missed three or four, took the trophy at the beginning of level 16.
