I'm currently working on a set
Tentative achievement list so far

I'm using the 2 Players ROM but I will see if the 4 Players one is compatible too

Set finished, the 4 player version wasn't compatible at all
All achievements work with 2 Players for example:

They Don't Call Me Springfield Fats They Don't Call Me Springfield Fats (3)
If Player 2 use the 20 objects the achievement will unlock

Have fun ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป

If you are getting a failure at the 12C RAM/ROM Check:

The first time you run the game, the EEPROM 12C shows as BAD in the RAM/ROM Check. Hold down the Test switch [ F2 ] and then also hit [ F3 ] to reset the machine, creating the EEPROM for you.

Here's another trick: If using Retroarch; use the Finalburn Neo Core v0.2.97.44. Worked for me!

Should probably mention about the 4 player World, Set 1 parent rom. I had difficulties running the rom needed for the achievements, due to not having the parent rom for the child rom to use when loading within the core in Retroarch.

What is the name of the core needed for this in Retroarch?

I would suggest
https://retroachievements.org/achievement/75799 go from 5 to 10
and also the Messing with someone of my size could be 10 instead of 5, because the big guy has extremely less health and can accidentally die easily, and you have to hit him to make him drop the little guy.

Revision: two achievements
Catch Me if You Can Catch Me if You Can (10)
Where the snooze button? Where the snooze button? (10)

The AI almost always gets above 50 points in the amount of times i played this make this like 60 to make it a tad easiserr to get but not super simple

To make the achievements a little easier to obtain even with turbo I was not able to get 85 i was stuck at 84 several times trying to get it. Knock it down to like 80 or even 75 maybe for the points its worth

Mini-Rescrore proposal. Total: 190 -> 213
Spoiler (Click to show)
Life on the Fast Lane Life on the Fast Lane (2) 5 -> 2 (88% unlocks while the boss has 92%, ie 96% for those who beat the boss. Why is this an achievement?)

Stretching Stretching (1) 3 -> 1 (99% unlocks aka "start the game")
Warming-up Warming-up (3) 6 -> 3
Was necessary Was necessary (5) 10 -> 5
Just another day Just another day (10) 15 -> 10

Sledge Hammer! Sledge Hammer! (5) 6 -> 5
For you, a thousand times over For you, a thousand times over (10) 6 -> 10
Better than a chancla Better than a chancla (25) 6 -> 25 (Not sure about that. The achievement has the lowest unlock rate in the set.)

That's all?! That's all?! (10) 5 -> 10
Messing with someone of my size Messing with someone of my size (10) 8 -> 10

+ what Maddie suggested. Everything else remains the same.
