Get ready for the massacre
You probably already know that this achievement is bugged. What you should know, you can still get it with about 1 / 1,5 hours of grinding.
There are only 4 things you need to know:

1. The Killed enemy counter always resets when you start up the game, so don't quit until you are done with the achievement.

2. It doesn't count your total kills only the kills on a specific stage, that means you have to play the same stage over and over again.

3. Splash Hill Zone 1 is probably the best choice for this, If you go on the optimal route you can kill 25 enemies in one run that takes around 1 minute.

4. There isn't an in-game counter for the kills but you can see the numbers in your data.txt which is in the main folder of the game. (By the way you can't change the values so cheating is not possible.)

The optimal route for Splash Hill Zone 1 is as follows:

the counter in my data file is usually above 1000 anyway, so if this doesnt trigger the achievement, then how does it exactly work? because you said the counter resets each launch and it is displayed in the data file, but as i stated my data file says 1000+

Do we know if you can restart the level mid-way and still have it count each enemy you killed?

This method works, got me about 25 enemies per about a minute and 1/4. Took a while but eventually got it.

And yeah, it does have to be done in the same stage over and over. I don't recommend opening the "data.txt" file mid stage since the enemy counter does update in real time, but while on the World Map I checked it every now and then to see how many enemies I needed til I reached 1000.

Great pain to get the achievement as I know the console versions don't have this issue but this was something to spend time on...I guess lmao but finally got my the Achievement at least. :SonicManiaItemBox:

It needs not be done on a single Stage, just in a single play session.

I'm not sure, I don't really remember but I think the counter gets zeroed every time you start the game.
