[Fix] "Electronic Super Done!" and "Electronic Super King!" not unlocking
By Renfrew
Earlier today I decided to finish infinite love mode (inconsistent mode, but I'll leave this rant for another time...) and Ol' Ball And Chain (getting zero deaths has been haunting me for a while, I HATE this level), then found that the two achievements in the title are bugged in-game. This guide shows a potential fix, using a method that worked for me.

Update 07/08/2020:
This bug is also present on the Nintendo Switch and Xbox One version, so it appears to be a problem on all versions of the game, so share this fix with players on other platforms if it helped you out!

Why the achievements are bugged
You did everything in ESJ and got no achievement. There is a simple reason for this, and that is your in-game achievements are displaying differently to your Steam achievements. When you view your achievements in-game, you will see this:

When really you should be seeing this:
https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2082060524

This is what is preventing you from unlocking 'Electronic Super Done!' and 'Electronic Super King!'.
Electronic Super Done!
Electronic Super Done!
Get every Star, beat every Gold Time, and earn 0 deaths in every level.

If you have already met the requirements for this achievement and haven't received it, then you need to repeat the "Rear-venge!" achievement.

Rear-venge!
Defeat The Groove Wizard.
World Three - Level 15 - "Sudden Death": Perform a smash on the Wizard and then this achievement should appear.

Note: I have no idea why I needed to only do this and not the pope achievement, but whatever.
Electronic Super King!
Electronic Super King!
Earn every achievement.

Note: This does not include any 'A Hot Sticky Mess' achievements, as this achievement was part of the game before the DLC was added.

All you need to do is check whatever achievements are greyed out, then beat them. The ones that will be greyed out are:

Mass Murder
Murder The Pope.
World One - Level 15 - 'Sudden Death': Perform a smash on the Pope


Rear-venge!
Defeat The Groove Wizard.
World Three - Level 15 - 'Sudden Death': Perform a smash on the Wizard.


Can't Touch This!
Survive 'Slow Dance' for 40 seconds without dying.

Hold Me Closer, Tony Danza
Clear 'Slow Dance' without killing anything.
World One - Level 9 - 'Slow Dance': Self-explanatory.
Tip for 'Can't Touch This!' specifically: don't rush to the end, stay slightly towards the centre and destroy as many missiles as you can, wait until about 35 seconds before going to the Portal (if you don't play with the in-game timer on, why not? Turn it on in options!)


Make Love, Not War
Clear 'Babylon' without killing anything.
World Two - Level 1 'Babylon': This is easier than it sounds as it doesn't matter if you die, so feel free to keep checkpoints on rather than activating no checkpoint mode.


I'm a Star-vivor!
Clear level 'Run Coward' without dying and collecting the Stars.
World Three - Level 11 'Run Coward!': I recommend just playing through the level and seeing how hard each star is to get. Then based on your personal preference, get which ever star you find hardest first, then get the second hardest, then obviously leave the easiest until last.


Get To The Chopper!
Clear level 'Over By Christmas' without dying and collect both Stars.
World Three - Level 4 'Over By Christmas': Play the level, see where each star is, then attempt it with zero deaths. Doesn't really matter whether you go for checkpoint mode or no checkpoint mode in my opinon, but up to you.
VERY IMPORTANT!!!
Do NOT exit the game until you have done all the requirements for 'Electronic Super King!', exiting will reset your progress, meaning you have to do everything from the start.
Final word
It's sad that Michael Todd never got round to fixing this, but at least it's not so broken that you have to restart your entire progress. Just a few challenges, totally worth it for an achievement that less than 2% have (you could argue more people would have this if it wasn't bugged).

Enjoy that pride!

Nice guide :rockon:
FYI, NSW version ingame achievements are bugged in the same/similar way,
XBONE too the last time i played it, so it seems to be a hard bug within the code
