Posting my own guide for this achievement so there is no confusion. In order to get the Magic Key you need a total of 765K points. The points are totalled from each of the levels/boss fights. Once you hit that score you will receive the key and the achievement will pop. You can finish the game and replay old missions to unlock the key so long as the save file you are on hits the total required.
Some tips for getting a high enough score:
1) The points you get from the in game mazes are added to your score, try to eat as many ghosts as you can (scores you get from the mazes in the maze mode don't count they need to be earned in the level).
2) Try to get perfect or as close to perfect scores as you can from the bonus stages.
3) Though I personally sucked at these, you can get a lot of extra points from the slot machine at the end of each stage.
4) It should go without saying to collect all of the in game fruit, dots, and kill all the enemies that you can to get a high score, also not dying will award bonus points at the end of the stage.
With these tips it should be pretty easy. I suggest just trying your best to do each of these as you play the game and then once it is finished if you still do not have enough points go back to earlier missions and replay them for high scores until you get enough points. The key will be given to you and the achievement will pop immediately once you have enough points.
I would also recommend replaying stages with mazes first as those will probably net you the most points.
Hope this helps!
Update: As mentioned in the replies, you must get a higher score than your original to get more points for your total score, only the additional points from a higher score will add to your total.

I haven't played the game since I completed it, which was a while ago at this point, but as far as I know and remember, no, the maze mode does not count towards your score. I completed the Maze Marathon achievement and do not remember it adding to my score at all. However, the mazes during the in game stages do count towards your score.
I realize I did not mention in my guide that you have to get a higher score for any more points to be added to your overall score, I think I omitted that because for me it was just a given, but thank you for adding that and sorry for the confusion.
You don't have to do something like start a new save. My recommendation would be to replay levels (especially those with mazes) that you know you didn't get a very good score on. For me when I finished the game I still had somewhere around 25K points left and I went back to the world 1 stages because I knew I did the worst on those, and after replaying about 3 or 4 missions I had a high enough score and the achievement popped. This achievement is definitely a bit of a pain, was one of the last ones I earned. Hope this helps, don't give up, its definitely achievable!
Update: I wanted to remind that completing a stage without dying awards bonus points, and you can get a lot of points from the slots at the end, I did horrible on these though and still managed to blow passed the required score.

I don't know if it's worth doing the whole game again? And making sure you complete every level with a perfect ?

Hi, I'm having a similar problem. I've done every level, collecting every pellet and killing all the enemies, and even using pause buffers to get all Galaxians on the slots, yet I'm at 700k unable to figure out where in the world I'm supposed to get another 65k.

Yeah it's so annoying. Have you got to level 9 on orignal Pac-Man yet ?
Also I think I might just start the game again and get a perfect score on every level first time. What you reckon?
