Accessing levels 51-100, and fighting DOH.
If you play through the game normally, you'll only access levels 1-50. To gain access to levels 51-100, perform the following:
1. From the title screen, insert a credit, but don't press Start yet.
2. Instead, press Button B *THREE* times, and Button A *ONCE*, then press Start. If done correctly, you will start on level 51.

All achievements and leaderboards are 1 PLAYER ONLY!
Conecting a second player invalidates all of them!

To enable them again, return to the "Push start button to start" screen or reset the game.

For those having difficulties controlling the Vaus, here's a technique you can do to make it play like Arkanoid 1:

1) Set your configuration file on RetroArch to where the input drivers is "raw"

2) Go into service mode, which is usually done by holding start.

3) Go to Configuration > Device and set it from the default of "Joystick" to "Sensor", which allows spinner controls to happen.

4) Save the Configuration settings and exit back to the main game.

5) Go to the Quick menu of Retroarch and to Core Settings > Device Type and set it to "Mouse (Full)" and save the remap file.

There you have it, you can play Arkanoid Returns with spinner controls using the mouse of your choosing.

Thank you so much Rej72380!

I didn't have to do step 1, but otherwise your guide worked for me!

A fix on all level related achievements has been pushed to core to avoid using the level select screen to unlock them.
Thanks Missiray for everything!
