Additional Notes

- Every cannon can be opened in 0 B presses
- Strategies involving the Remote Interaction Glitch (https://youtu.be/8cSlijzykDU) are not currently included, mainly because the majority do not have videos. Once they are included, these strategies will be listed separately because they are infeasible for a TAS due to taking years or even centuries.
