How to unlock the He Ain't Even Married achievement in Comic Jumper - Definitive Guide
First off, go and buy three Help Me-powerups. You can buy those from Winklemeyer in the upgrades section.
Load up the level "The Improbable Paper Pals #79", fight your way to Benny and proceed to the second stage of the fight, damaging him as much as you can while avoiding anything at all costs.
Once you've reached the second stage, keep shooting him until he reaches 450,000 health points.
The only thing that's left between you and that achievement now is pushing the Y button 3 times. Beware, though. You might change into the third area if you're too slow. That's the one with the laser traps. DON'T run into them!
If you get hit before successfully reaching the second stage and using any Help Mes, just get yourself killed and you will respawn at the beginning of the fight. If you fail after using one or more Help Mes, just quit to the dashboard. Once you've reloaded the game, you will still have those three Help Mes which will help you greatly achieving this.
Play through the first part of the level. If you are simply going for the achievement, do your best to stay alive, but this portion of the level is unimportant. The following part, however, is: When you finish the long fall, and first meet Benny, it is VERY important that you start the fight with full health. If you have less than full health, simply let Benny run you over immediately and you will restart that portion of the level with full health. Now, run from Benny, and do not get hit. Shoot him as much as possible, and when he fires rockets, you can shoot them to destroy them as they approach. When you reach the end of part 1, Benny should have between 580,000 and 600,000 health points. Now, on part 2, shoot him until he reaches 450,000 health points. Do not get hit. If you do get hit here, simply let Benny kill you and restart the fight.
Once Benny is down to 450,000, wait until you are in a relatively safe place and use the three Help Me's, one after the other. Each will deduct 150,000 points of health from Benny. If you are not fast enough, you might get dumped into the third part of the fight. If so, try to stay alive and use the last of the Help Me's. Once Benny dies, you will get the achievement as soon as the cutscene starts. If you are hit before Benny dies, and after using one Help Me, you will have to exit the game to the dashboard in order to re-load with all three Help Me's. Good luck!
although this is glitched at the moment, i thought i would write how a brief guide how to try it once it's fixed
this is a 4 phase fight, with phase 1 & 3 scrolling left to right, phase 2 falling, and the final phase being stationary.
phase 1
benny will only have 2 attacks, the charge move (high or low) & missiles
you have plenty of time to avoid the charge move for the first 3 or 4 charges.
After this, benny will at some point do a triple charge (low, high,low OR high, low, high) which is generally also easy to avoid [unless like me, you randomly jump up, instead of dropping down]
now the layout & attack will change, from being flat with the ledge, to having 'boxes' for you to jump on, and benny will fire his missiles at you (i recommend you learn how to stay atop these while benny fires missiles, as you will need that knowledge for phase 3)
a pretty brief return to the original style, with either single or triple charge moves
when he's down to about 580,000 health onto phase 2
Phase 2 - falling
there is no pattern to his attacks, but they include
single [left / right] charge
triple charge [R,L,R / L,R,L]
laser X - this has 3 variants.
if it is dead centre of the screen, it will stay as an 'X'
if it is offset to either side, that beam will shut off almost as soon as it stops, and the other beam will continue to move round
laser ||
this pattern can be a pain, the beams will start pointing out, and work down to force you upto benny, then it will move from side to side.
the only help i can give is learn his attacks, and the safe spots, if it's not a laser attack, stay right at the bottom, and move to the opposite side to the drill
laser attacks are where the trouble comes from, with 3 of them being near identical, you will need to be ready for them, either way, stay bottom middle until his attcks shows it's self
notei'm sure there are more than i listed, but i don't remember how they started.
get him down to about 320,000 (could be anywhere 350,000 - 280,000) and then
phase 3
this almost a repeat of the first section, but you have to use a sepcific route, due to electricity things (they are all tied in to what benny will do, so i suggest you learn this section by running through it once to familiarise yourself with the layout, i guess this also means that the random factor is removed from this section)
benny will attack Low, High, Low (when he attacks low, you must also jump to clear the electricity beam)
after this there will be the repeat of the 'box' section where benny fires missiles, however this time, all of the pits have elecricity blocking them, so you need to jump and shoot the missiles
*DON'T just spam jump, you need to time it well, and hopefully you should manage to shoot most of the missiles. Your best bet is to stay still shooting the missiles until you have a clear view of the next box before jumping over, try to time your jump to clear the few missiles that make it past your barrage of bullets
after this hellish bit you're almost done with phase 3
there will be a repeat of the beginning of phase 3, then benny will start using his lasers again
he has 3 firing patterns i have noticed. now there are 2 that are near identical, but differ on how he gets into the position
1. >< fires away from himself, moving the lasers to make an X (get as close to him as you can, on the middle level)
2. >< fires in an X closing down to >< (stay far back, middle level)
3. fires both up, sweeping them down, safe spot bottom middle (there may be the reverse of this too, but i havent seen it.
at about 80,000 this should take you to phase 4
phase 4 the stationary bit
for this section there is a ladder on the right of the screen
he has 2 attacks i'm aware of, i don't know of any variations
the charge attack and the laser attack
charge - he will either have his drill High or Low
laser - he will make an >< as usual
best tactic is to stay in the middle of the ladder
for the charge attack, keep an eye on the drill position, be ready to drop off, or climb slightly depending where it is
for the laser attack, the middle of the ladder is the only safe spot i've found
with lots of luck, and practice, you should have managed to defeat this total recall parody boss without being hit. i apologise for the vagueness of some descriptions, there is no substitute for learning the safe zones yourself, and persevering, though it will undoubtedly annoy the hell out of you
hopefully this achievement will be fixed soon so we can achieve the hardest achievement in the game, my only wish is that i had found out it was glitched before spending 2 hours trying it myself, however if that was the case, i wouldn't have written this
best of luck all ;)

This is quite easy. I think. I did it on my, I think, 6th try, after finishing the main story. To make it easiest as it gets do what follows. There is a big possibility that you will be able doin' it during your regular gameplay but be warned that your skills should be extraordinary then.
1. You need to have 3x Help Me in your pocket.
2. You need to have fully upgraded statistics - more power in your guns, the less work to do.
3. You need to have the full health bar - if you are wounded, let Benny kill you and start the fight over.
AND
4. Try to do it without using any Help Me for the first time. Try to learn the two first sections (the very first one and the one when you fall with Benny from the building). There would be no need to go further.
5. Learn how to kill all the missles in the first section and how to avoid lasers in the second. Of course you should know how to avoid Benny but this is the easy part.
NOW
6. Start the fight and spam the bullets avoiding benny.
7. Kill the missles that are fired at you.
8. When you did it correctly (look often on the up-left of the screen - if your picture will show up even for a split/second it means that you are somehow hurt - get killed and start all over) when Benny's health would be close to 600.000 use your first HELP ME.
9. After that you will be transfered at the next section. During falling off the building spam the bullets and find a comfortable situation when Benny is pulling back the drill and you are safe for a moment (that is crucial). Use HELP ME then. Remember that when you are using HELP ME the screen after that is not clear enough so before doing that find yourself a safe place not to get hit after the punches are thrown by Twisted Pixel guys.
10. Now you need to wait a couple of seconds avoiding Benny attacks and use your last HELP ME. If he pulls out the laser (you should remember the pattern you've learned before), avoid it and spam Y to use HELP ME as soon as possible. If you will do it when Benny has less than 166.000 - the fight is over and you got the achievement.
HELP ME is making more/less 166.000 damage. 166*3=498. Benny's health is 817.000 so if at the first section you spammed bullets till Benny was about 600.000 (the easiest part) than you should easily finish the fight at the begining of the second section.
Benny starts with over 800K Health.
Ths fastest and best way to beat him is to use all 3 of your TP Help moves. Make sure you have 3 to use before the fight starts and that you have full HP. If you don't have full HP, just die as the fight starts and you'll spawn right at the beginning of the boss fight again.
Now onto the fight. Use the first TP Help move just before you trigger the falling section of the fight. Then use your second when he is down to about 350k HP during the falling part. Then as soon as you land hold right to run away and use your 3rd.
He'll either die right there or have less than 2k HP, it all depends on when you use the powers. Either way its the fastest and best way to kill him without having to really fight him!
