I'm working in progress on this one.

Rushed Smuggling (10) 10
Rushed Skyscraper (10) 10
Rushed Counter Attack (25) 25
Rushed Counter Attack Part II (25) 25
Points... (25) 25
Only My Sword Is The Enough! (25) 40 -> 25
Not too Hard as NES Trilogy (25) 40 -> 25

Suggesting a minor rescore for a few achievements.
Dominated Smuggling (25) 10 -> 25
Reason: It is way harder than other damageless achievements because of the ninjas jumping out of the water in this level and boss being a bit random. It took more time than damageless for levels 1 and 3 in sum.
Counter Attack Mastered! (25) 10 -> 25
Reason: It's hard to evade the second form of this boss and precise timing is required.
Maximum Power (4) 1 -> 4
Reason: It's not happens just by playing. You need to avoid using force for some time and break the right lanters.
The Cautious Ninja (10) 1 -> 10
Reason: You need to beat first 2 levels and 70% of level 3 deathless with collecting extra live on levels 2 and 3 to have max possible lives. Level 3 is autoscroller. Miss the certain lantern and you'll start over.

Old score: 291. New score: 333.

 Counter Attack Mastered! (10) 10 -> 25

I do not see any really precise timing required to dodge any attack of this boss. First form might corner you occasionally (if you are not careful) but 2nd one is more tedious than hard and has a blindspot where you can safely stay if you feel that you lost the rhythm. A little to easy for 25 points.

Personally, I'd also demote Points... (25) because the required amount can not be achieved without grinding. Or at least someone should put something coherent in description.
