If you get the glitch where you lose all progress, it actually helps. It doesn't reset your keys, so collecting the first couple in the game depending on how many you missed absolutely works. Only had to replay back to level 18.

I lost all my progress, I had every upgrade purchased now I am back to nothing. I was able to get it without having to get to level 34, awesome!

So, I'm not getting this to pop at all. Ive just played through every level with a key again and got them all over again and its still not popped. Its stuck on 80%

I think I might know the problem. When I finished all the levels, I didn't collect all the keys yet, but for some reason it allowed me to do all the bonus missions. Thinking, why not, I did them without having all the keys yet. I got the one for completing all the bonus levels but my tracker is stuck on 70% just for the finding 10 keys. I'm going to attempt to delete my save, try getting the keys before the bonus levels and see what happens.

I had this completely bugged for me even with the suggestions aboved. I did all the keys before touching the bonus missions and I was still only at 93%. I went through and got all the keys again and still nothing, then I did the bonus missions and then went through and got the keys again, still nothing.

I fixed my problem by doing the other achievements first, including the 500 hours one. Then I deleted my save on my console (I chose console only when prompted). When I loaded the game up I stopped the synch, then I played through the first 7 levels, picked up the first bonus key that you can get, and it unlocked.

Just to add to the guide Shizblacka wrote, he did the tricky bit identifying what levels they're on. However, just in case it's useful, here is where each key is:

Firstly, I recommend grinding out level 7 a little, get your hole in ones and enough gold to buy the level 3 jump, level 3 hotshot and level 3 brake. With these 3, the game and collectibles are a doddle.

Also, change the controls so Right Stick aims and left stick is speed, much easier to control and also to grind out hole in ones as you won't make a mistake

The "keys" look like red floating trophies, easy to spot. None are really hidden and only one or two require a few goes to nail a jump. Very very easy, this is not like marble blast ultra eggs.

These are just my methods, there may be easier tricks for some of them, but none are hard anyway. Perhaps people can post their tricks below if they find an easier way.

Level 7: Bonus 1
When going straight forward, there is a red garage door to open. Immediately through this door on the right is the first bonus level unlock

Level 9: Bonus 2
Can't miss it, two platforms up, take a left diagonal jump towards it. Upgrade your jump powerup to make this

Level 13: Bonus 3
Out in the open, on a platform down and to the right from where you start

Level 16: Bonus 4
On the platform to the left of the goal. Again jumping and braking powerups help wonders

Level 18: Bonus 5
Right next to the goal, I aimed right at the goal and got a hole in one and the bonus level

Level 20: Bonus 6
Right before the goal, use a jump to hop over the speed mats right to it

Level 22: Bonus 7
Behind the goal, the speed mats will take you into it if you follow them round

Level 24: Bonus 8
Speed straight at it from the start with the mega jump

Level 25: Bonus 9
If you go around the back of the goal you'll see a red switch, this will open up a garage door next to you where the key hides

Level 26: Bonus 10
I found the easiest way was to full speed just marginally to the left of it from the start and you'll land behind it, then megajump to it from the lower platform

Level 29: Bonus 11
You need the turbo powerup. Head to the left at the start, then ramp off the end with the increased power to catch it in the air

Level 31: Bonus 12
Much easier than the last one, just turn around at the start and aim slightly left of the key, full [normal strength] power. You'll end up near the goal to boot

Level 32: Bonus 13
Hardest one yet, unless I'm missing something. Equip turbo, then, looking at the platform just slightly to the left at the start, aim just marginally to the right of the centre line, with around 2 yellow bars of speed. Will take some trial and error. Zooming in helps with accuracy (RT). Watch out for the robot, but he shouldn't cause many issues

Level 33: Bonus 14
Head to the middle platform, then up the concrete slope. Instead of heading left for the goal, head right, jump across a platform and it's hiding behind a collapsed pillar

Level 34: Bonus 15
Just to the right of the goal, on the same platform

^ OP should probably copy/paste the above into a spoiler at the end of the solution or something, just for completeness :)

I can also confirm that deleting your save data for the game and reacquiring the keys will work if your tracker stops moving because you did all the bonus levels before getting the keys.
My tracker was stuck on 46% (which is 7 keys) and when I deleted my save and started getting the keys it kept tracking from that point so I only had to play up until level 24 and get 8 keys to unlock the achievement.
