EXPLANATION
Big point, story skip off is mandatory for this.
We first get Tag Barrel Storage. This gives us the opportunity to have a locked camera which is mandatory for getting a trick called 'Portal Storage'. However, this 'locked camera' effect only stays until we go into first person (or unlock it via other means).
At which point, we go out of bounds, and play our instrument near the void (Around X=-50). This deloads the portal (and the tag barrel). Since the portal is deloaded, when we walk through it, it will not immediately take us to Factory. It will only do so when we reload it (going into first person).
We then go OoB again at a height of y=209.167 (The high boxes on the beams are at this height). We set a stored position at this location:
X = 223 (Pausing at X = 225)
Y = 218 (Pausing at Y=209.167)
Z = 7
This sets our stored position to those co-ordinates. Then we head to a very specific spot.
X = 300.8
Y = 209.167
Z = 36.4
Throw an orange in 3rd person at a rotation of 54.756*. When this orange has a Y value of 224 (On it's way down), press C-Up to enter 1st person which will reload the portal. This will pull you into the portal path and start the animation.
Because you threw the orange, this will damage you out of the portal path which will knock you into the loading zone. Because you were damaged out of the portal path high enough, it will take a long time to hit the loading zone (which is required).
Because the game loads the cutscene number before you enter the destination map (Cutscene 17 in Helm Intro map), you can change the destination map during the fadeout and cause that cutscene number (17) to play in the new destination map (DK Isles Overworld). This opens Castle.
Thanks to Kiwikiller67 and RingRush for helping with this, and GloriousLiar for bullying me into actually working on getting this to be a thing.
