Run I did back in early December. Demonstration of what PAL K Rool is like. Not optimal, not sure if best PAL N64 time (I beat it a couple weeks after on PAL VC). Probably could go as low as a low 13:5x

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.

The memes that happen whilst writing ScriptHawk modules..
By using L to Levitate, you can hit the trigger for the credits within the first minute of gameplay (This works at any point). Earthworm Jim 3D seems like a rather solid game in terms of physics and collisions, so this doesnt seem like itll be a thing for RTA anytime soon.
Making this public for any EJ3D runners / glitch hunters to see whether they can get anything working.
Specifics
- Trigger is around y=137
- Floor of the brain is y=40.1
- Top of the computer is y=80.02 (If you could get ontop of here, you could at least do Earthworm Kim Early)")
