  Step 1: TURN OFF BOTH INFINITE LIVES AND INFINITE TIME
  Step 2: Start a new game
  Step 3: Save at the end of Cavern 1
  Step 4: Complete Cavern 1 and the following bonus round
  Step 5: Reload your save
  Step 6: Repeat steps 4 and 5 until achievement unlocks
  
  You should get about 15,000 points for completing Cavern 1 and another 15,000 to 25,000 points for completing the bonus round. If you follow the above guide, you will have the achievement within 15 minutes (possibly sooner if you do this after completing several of the other achievements).
  
  Step 1 is crucial because it will prevent points gained from completing Caverns 1-8 from counting towards this achievement. Bonus round points will count regardless of whether these cheats have been turned on or off.
  
  EDIT (10/1/16): It has been reported by multiple users that you CAN have cheats on while attempting this achievement, although this was not true at the time this guide was written. Please do so at your own discretion.
  
  Happy achievement hunting! Please comment with any questions!

  No need to turn cheats off. Turn infinite time and lives on. Completing caverns 1 and 2 and the bonus stages will net you about 100,000 points per go. Start a new game and repeat.

  Oddly enough not all scores count for some reason. I finished the game with a high score over 500K but the tracker says I am 68% of the way done.

  I'm pretty sure the time bonus doesn't count at all. Had both cheats off from soft reset, and it never counted, only the bonus round did.

  Right before the end of the first level, Save.
  
  Exit the level which will give you 10k, play the mini-game, I usually got another 10-15k here. Load and repeat. It took me 30 seconds per try, so roughly 10 minutes for this one.
  
  BTW, B to Jump. A with the shovel to swing.

  @Sharlak Intulak; you certainly aren't the only one. Even with cheats off, I never received progress towards the milestone for completing the level.

  how can you track progress?

  There's ABSOLUTELY NO reason to turn cheats off. I just finished this achievement and had cheats on the entire time. None of the other score achievements require you to turn cheats off and this one is no different.
  
  @Iron Man TStark: You can track achievements by snapping the Achievement app.

  The guides telling you to complete caverns 1 and 2 and rinse and repeat are perfectly fine. As Cavern 2 is much more time consuming than Cavern 1, I just repeated Cavern 1 and bonus stage (which I suck at) in about a minute and was getting anywhere from 38K-49K depending on how I did on the bonus stage.
  
  To maximize the points in this quick run through, what I did was this:
  1. Dig down and to the right(only way you can go)
  2. Go down the lift/lever/button that opens the door.
  3. Slide down to the right, but crawl down left instead of finishing the level immediately by going right.
  4. Kill the mosquito and pick up the diamond worth 5K, Then jump up left and go to the far wall where you will be warped back up to the right of the lift for another 2.5K.
  5. Go to the right instead of back down the lift to you get to another diamond (Note: this 2nd diamond will not appear if you you just go right from the beginning before going down the lift for the first time. I believe it is the warp that makes it appear.) kill any enemies in your way for a few extra points.
  Edit: So I am not sure what exactly makes the 2nd diamond appear, as it has not been there on a few occasions when I have used this method as it was before, but it's worth checking for it. You can at least kill a couple enemies for points.
  6. Now go back left and down the lift. Follow the path down and to the right to find the exit for about 18K.
  7. Do your best on the bonus level. You should at least be able to get the first 4 treasures that I believe are 2.5k apiece for another 10K, but if you are better than I am at the navigation in this you could net 50K+ in about a minutes time.
  8. Hold Start, select Load and New Game. Rinse and Repeat.
  
  I did do this with the Cheats on, because why not? It makes it easier.
  
  I was getting annoyed wandering around Cavern 2 and feel like overall I spent less time just repeating this method than I would have beating the first 2 caverns, as 2 1 minute or so runs on Cavern 1 net you about as many points as beating both the first 2 caverns. I hope people take the time to read down to this solution and that it will save you time in the long run. If there is any confusion about my walk through please message or comment me and I will be happy to try to help better explain it.
