We started on the NES levels, but when it came to Mayhem, there are a couple of points where I'm really not sure of how the level behaves on the actual NES version, and I want to wait until I actually get that far in my playthrough of the NES version before making decisions about how the conversions should be. So, these are (probably) final results for the first three ranks, but we'll leave challenges on NES Mayhem until the conversions are finished.

Fun

1 "We All Fall Down" - None (the NES version of this level gives 14 of everything!)
2 "Origins And Lemmings" - None
3 "Danger The Bridge Is Out" - 2 builders
4 "Do Not Do Anything Too Hasty" - 7 builders
5 "Lemmings Lemmings Everywhere" - None
6 "Lemming And Lime" - 2 builders

Tricky

1 "A Bag Of Lemming Drops" - None
2 "Lemming I Scream" - 1 floater, 5 builders
3 "Iced Lemming" - 1 climber, 6 builders
4 "The Crankshaft" - None
5 "Lemming Good Fun" - 1 blocker, 10 builders

Taxing

1 "Roman In The Ruins" - 2 builders, 1 basher
2 "Up The Wooden Hill" - 7 builders
3 "A Spot of Bother" - None
4 "On The Spiders Web" - 1 builder
5 "Just Drop In" - 2 diggers
6 "Arctic Lemmings" - 9 builders
7 "Come To Lemming County" - 1 bomber

The new version of "Quest for Kieran" requires only 1 builder, and no other skills.

[namida]

Redux/Quirky 24 "Lunch Time", climber and digger eliminated thanks to a speedrun strategy Gronkling shared on Discord.

I suspect I can get this down to 1 blocker, too, but it's going to be a hassle so I haven't pulled it off yet. I may also further be able to, if I pull this off, get a 3-builder from it.

[Minim]

Earlier Proxima had just update the thread to confirm that Lunatic 4 can be done without climbers (Thanks to Crane for the solution). The replay can be found here.

Could this be doable on DOS as well?

[Minim]

Right. Because Lemmings Redux has gone through a final update I downloaded all the replays again and have gone through the Mass replay checker to check their solvability. These are the following levels that came up as either "Failed, Undetermined or Level Not Found".

Gentle 32: 0 climbers & 0 floaters
Lunatic 17: 0 climbers, 5 builders & 0 bashers
Manic 18: 1 basher
Gentle 23: 5 builders
Lunatic 22: 4 bashers & 0 diggers
Quirky 12: 2 bashers

The Gentle 23 solution was probably an oversight, as I think the user pressed the replay save button before bombing the blocker holding the pack.

The update has affected Lunatic 17's 5-builder solution. I was unable to match that and could only get it in 6 builders. Fortunately I succeeded with the rest of them. Replays of all fixed solutions attached to the zip file.

[Proxima]

Tough, but not impossible.

[Proxima]

Results for the NL conversion of the Genesis levels. Note that the pack contains only the levels unique to the Genesis version, so the level numbering is different, e.g. Fun 1 "Room with no exit" is Fun 14 on the Genesis, since Fun 1-13 are the same levels as on Amiga.

My LPII improvements.

The last one uses Proxima's 4-builder solution replay as a starting point, branching off from the point at which I...

Spoiler

...compress the crowd.
