I literally have to find this stuff 12 hours after I upload a whole compilation of Rabbit Race stuff, don't I?
Previously you could only get Pause Cancel with the Vulture Race in Angry Aztec (See Here: youtube.com/watch?v=3q82VxuPlrQ). However, this shows that it is possible to get it in Rabbit Race, which might be useful for Low A TASes or potential other shenanigans.

![[TAS] 100% TAS WIP 2 | Earthworm Jim 3D](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/CYUxMEWqaT4/mqdefault.jpg "[TAS] 100% TAS WIP 2 | Earthworm Jim 3D
A WIP (Work In Progress) of the 100% TAS of Earthworm Jim 3D.
Since the last WIP I posted, we completely redid the route, and most notably the level order. Since the level order is so drastically different, this WIP is not a part of the same TAS as WIP 1 as the TAS has been started over.
To give a general summary of what is shown in this WIP, we finish off the back part of Boogie nights with the final disco room and the final 2 udders. We can pause 2 frames before the game saves an udder to skip the dialogue notifying game progress.
When we get back to the brain, we need to head into Happiness but we are short 1 udder. Thankfully with glitches you can enter the hub early, however you need to go far enough into the inbounds section of a tunnel to trigger a flag in memory that prevents a softlock upon entering a hub area. Memory is the closest hence we head in there.
Theres a lot of small techniques like walljumping (bad adjoinment of wall triangles can cause you to get a jump off the wall) and Perspective Force Slide (Exiting a roll and entering first person on the first possible frame to move at max roll speed whilst in 1st person) scattered throughout this WIP. Both of these enhance sequence breaks and optimise movement (eg. You can move and shoot the potatoes in Lord of the Fries with Perspective Force Slide).
Now that were in Lord of the Fries, we need to head to the Hot Sauce character ASAP since he provides the potato quest which requires you to shoot 1-3 potatos in each area of the level. Heading straight from the first to the last area means you do not have to revisit areas 2 and 3.
After we are given the quest, the best route is to go through the areas in sequential order. Normally you need to kill a series of robots to acquire a key card to proceed to the next area, but we dont need that thanks to walljumping.
Once we return back to the final area in the game, we can grab the mid-air marbles with the helium balloon. Entering a balloon whilst shooting allows you to get rid of the slow balloon effect as soon as you put your gun away. Thankfully with 30 pea pellets to spare, we have enough to do the challenge.
After acquiring the hot sauce udder, we proceed to grab an udder from out of bounds. This is the Helium Balloon challenge udder, and we grab it early to allow us to get back to the start of the level super fast and skip the lengthy challenge.

I FINALLY DID IT
Fastest run performed on the original N64 Console. Not amazing and can definitely be improved by at least 2m under reasonable circumstances.
Fell in MJ, missed a cycle in Lanky Phase and switch kick was kinda lame. However, Im glad that I got this finally.

![All Helm Medals without completing every minigame [PAL/JP Only] | Donkey Kong 64 Glitch](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/EIBCJyuqhxk/mqdefault.jpg "All Helm Medals without completing every minigame [PAL/JP Only] | Donkey Kong 64 Glitch
This is a demonstration of the RTA route for collecting all the medals within Hideout Helm whilst only completing 2 minigames.
Normally, to collect every medal within Hideout Helm, you need to complete all 10 minigames before the Blast-O-Matic shuts down. However, by using the Manocheese OoB to Diddys room, you can shut down the Blast-O-Matic Early.
As a result, you can re-enter and collect every medal. The downside to this is that it doesnt work on the US version. The US version had a critical bug which resulted in the medals within Hideout Helm becoming impossible to collect if you didnt collect them after the visit you made to Hideout Helm which turned off the Blast-O-Matic.
This was patched on PAL/JP, and as a result makes this possible. This makes a Helm IL around 90 seconds faster on JP (I dont know for PAL, because PAL is a slow meme).
This can easily be optimised by O Clipping in and out of every room (easily making this something you can do within 6 or 7 minutes). But since this will be only used (most likely) for Helm ILs, its a better video if I show off the RTA viable version.")

This is an updated TAS of Earthworm Jim 3D Any%, which abuses the superjump to get out of bounds and enter Kim within a minute of gameplay.
Most of the timesave compared to the old TAS is due to a better Kim fight (~10.5s from Kim, 0.5s from Kim Early)

Emulation with this game isnt 100% accurate to the N64 version, and behaves more like the PC release, so theres also that.

![K Rool Early without Shrunky [Wii U VC Only] | Donkey Kong 64 Glitch](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/EiuB-SA9_Ww/mqdefault.jpg "K Rool Early without Shrunky [Wii U VC Only] | Donkey Kong 64 Glitch
Stream Highlight: http://www.twitch.tv/theballaam96
So, a few months ago, I discovered that by using shrunky, it was relatively possible to navigate round the back of Isles T&S and lose height on a strange part of the map. We believed that it might be possible without Shrunky with a bit of push and shove. It took us a while.
The critical part came last night when RingRush determined that the way that the game determines whether you void is on a position basis rather than colliding with a hitbox (where the scale of the kong would change the size of the hitbox). As a result, this means that regarding going through voids, the only thing holding us back is the ability to do the precise movements with the higher movement speed.
With some Wii U cheaty frame advance tricks and around 2h15m of testing, I was finally able to get K Rool early.
So what does this mean? Since getting K Rool Early itself doesnt take several minutes (Around 8-10 minutes with Shrunky), then getting a new Any% is probably gonna be approaching soon. What is left to find is a way to get Flashback warp (FBW) in Isles without ISG. This means that we can do FBW for KRE and MMM for moves so we can beat K Rool without purchasing moves. We have a potential theory, although we need to figure out how to get it to work (without lag assistance) in order for it to work.")
