EDIT: This is obsoleted by the following videos, which allow this GB in 0xA:

This video shows the ending trick with a much better camera angle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPnj1UFemFc
5 presses saved - were down to 41 total! Crazy that this theoretical FBW strat was finally executed, and that it can be done in a single press! Sorry about the unimpressive visuals of the final trick - that bad camera angle is required to generate enough lag.

Why is this GB 1xA?:
The minigame takes a whopping 15 A presses to start and stop the slot machine. The only way around this is a flashback warp.
Saving this A press isnt unreasonable, since its only used to set a stored position for the orange throws. Using TBS, you can force a drop from the bonus barrel so that a grounded orange can hit you (in this case you would swap to Lanky for a further damage boost). Unfortunately, this is neither fast enough nor gets enough distance due to less air time. However, with a new way to generate heavy lag this could be possible. Standard boulder ultra lag does not work in this room for complicated reasons. Alternatively, reaching a high enough stored position to damage out of the barrel without an A press sounds unlikely but not impossible.
Every video on this channel assumes youve already completed some relevant subset of previous videos. Notably, every video will assume A is held from either starting the file or the previous press. Unless otherwise noted, the A button will -NEVER BE LET GO- during this run except immediately preceding another A press. This is because a held A button allows a lot of useful things such as buying moves, more potent dismounting, autojumping, faster swimming, rocketbarrel, and more. I will not be using the 0.5 A notation because it does not add anything meaningful - as long as it takes an A press to start a file you can always have A held before a section.
