Commands are written in Bold and items/objects you interact with are in Italics.
Walkthrough
Everything you need to know about the storyline of the game can be summed up in this one quote:
Dr. Fred: Step one. Find plans. Step two. Save world. Step three. Get out of my house! Let's get cracking.
We're going to start off by completing step one while collecting as many items we need to interact with along the way.

You also have the ability to toggle between Hoagie and Bernard as well as pass items between characters. Before progressing the storyline, we're going to get another annoying achievement out of the way.

After the cutscene you should earn:
We've pretty much done everything you can do with Hoagie at this time, and you now have the ability to control the third character, Laverne, the insane med-student, who is stuck in the future. Before moving on to the next character, we're going to Fast Flush a few items to Bernard.

Next we'll switch to Bernard and have him run through the Mansion, collecting and interacting with everything he can at this time.
Switch to Bernard.

In total we'll need to Fast Flush 50 items and we should already have quite a few out of the 50 done, but let's go ahead and grind out the remaining ones now. You can send the same item back and forth between characters, but I found it easiest/fastest to send 10+ items to one person, then switch characters and send those same 10+ items to the next character. Doesn't really matter which items you flush for the 50, but note that not all items are flushable (i.e. Coffee, Crowbar, Videotape). Once you have Fast Flushed 50 items, this achievement should unlock:
*** Spoiler - click to reveal ***After all the flushes, check your inventory against this table to make sure the proper characters have the items they need. If the item isn't listed below, any character can hold it as we have no further use for the item. | Bernard | Hoagie | Laverne |

This is another great time to create a new save of your game (use a new save location). Again, we're not at a point-of-no-return, but this would be a good place to reload from, if needed.

Use Roller Skates with Mummy.

Give Chattering Teeth to Hoagie.
Give Vinegar to Hoagie.
Switch to Hoagie.
Hoagie
Before progressing any farther, check that you have acquired the Chattering Teeth with Mummy achievement. We will be using the item, thus passing the point-of-no-return, for that achievement.
This is also another great place to create a new save of your game. If you've got all the above mentioned achievements you can override your save location, but, in my opinion, it's always best to create a new save, just in case.

After a couple of cutscenes:
Use Battery with Kite.
Push Kite.

We've now done everything we can with Hoagie. We're going to need to take control of Bernard again, but before doing so let's Fast Flush an item.
Give Contract to Bernard.
Switch to Bernard.

Exit Room and head into the Second Floor Hallway.
Open Dwayne's Room (labeled "R") and now you become Mini-Thing.
As Mini-Thing, enter Dwayne's Room.
Walk to Mouse Hole (this must be done before you become Big-Thing).
Now you're in Green Tentacle's Room. Wait until you become Big-Thing.
Pick Up Bowling Ball.
Open Door. (Where'd he go!?)
This is the last opportunity you have to play Maniac Mansion without reloading a save.
Head downstairs through the Grandfather Clock and into the Basement.
Use Bowling Ball with Purple Tentacles.
Talk to Purple Tentacle, selecting the following dialog options:
Thing: Just what is it that you have against humans, anyways?
Thing: Sounds like that's all Dr. Fred's fault, really.
Thing: You're pretty handy with that ray gun.
Thing: Why don't you zap Dr. Fred if you hate him so much?
This will take you to the final cutscene which, as long as you heeded the warning throughout this walkthrough, you should gain two achievements.
After sitting through all the credits you should unlock:
The final achievement is buggy, as it SHOULD unlock after the previous achievement unlocks, but it doesn't. Instead go ahead and exit the game, doing a full "Quit" of the game (
, scroll down and select "Quit"). Now load back into the game, selecting any of your save games and the final achievement should unlock.
