Big Key cannon hallway

The timing with which the wall-cannons in this room shoot is determined by a frame rule (Details). That means it is entirely random and you have to react to what you get. When you enter the room (and have stereo sound available) you can listen to the cannon shots to sometimes get a clue for which pattern to expect. The rare 1-2-1 pattern is especially easy to identify, since you will hear the first shot only on the left channel. Here are three examples of how to deal with different patterns with the help of a pause buffer.

A pause is used right after passing the columns to identify the cannonball pattern. In this case the pause is especially helpful, because it manipulates the pattern on the way back to not block the dash. File
