Upon loading the room with 'Cannon Game' in it, the game checks whether you've completed the puzzle or not. If you haven't completed the puzzle, then the game spawns a cannonball. If you have, then it doesn't.
However, for 1 frame, upon loading the room, the GB is actually spawned (along with the targets, but who cares about those?), that means that with clever out of bounds movement, you can pick up the GB without completing the minigame.
As a result, this GB should be possible without any training barrels.

EDIT: Beaten 07-MAR-2020 by TJ who got a 12:09
Did some practice for the upcoming 1545 Restricted Any% relay race (for which DK64s role is No Levels Early) which included me doing one K Rool to just derust more (I did a few the day prior to gauge where my skill was right now). This is the result.
12:09 is definitely possible, but like before, Im no longer going for PB attempts in K Rool. Any time I do it, itll be either during runs or in practice, and Im only doing RTA for occasional races.

This is a TAS of the new Any% category for Earthworm Jim 3D. This category uses a series of precise jumps to get out of bounds to skip directly to the final boss (Earthworm Kim). This skip was discovered a couple days ago.

After performing this trick, its just a matter of fighting Earthworm Kim. With this, its just a case of good routing to ensure that obtain Ego Boosts (Temporary speed boosts) as much as you can without having to go out of your way too much, on top of collecting marbles efficiently.
Emulation with this game isnt 100% accurate to the N64 version, and behaves more like the PC release, so theres also that.

Shoutouts to Isotarge for his work on ScriptHawk (A lua script for the emulator BizHawk), specifically making it easy to create new modules for new games.
