How to unlock the Twisted Cannonball achievement in Giana Sisters: Dream Runners - Definitive Guide
What I did was move my second controller along with me until I got to the area with the 3 power ups. Each time I tried this I was able to get the cannonball power up from one of the power ups. If you don't end up getting it for some reason you can restart the level as this is very close to the beginning. It's also a good place to farm for the Stunning Twirl power up and Meteorista. Now that you have your cannonball power up, you can move a bit more to the Right in the level and you will come to an electric gate that will twist the level:
Move your second controller so that the character is standing at the edge of the ledge before the gate (Red Character in picture). It takes a bit of timing but you want to hit to use your power up before you use your main controller to go through the gate. My main character was the Yellow Person and you can see in the picture that she has the cannon ball power up. Going through the gate twists the level and powers up your cannonball. This power up takes a second to prime though so like I said it's timing. You want the cannonball to be shooting at the other character as you walk through the gate and twist the level. Took me about 3 tries but finally got it.
In order to upgrade your cannonball to a twisting cannonball, you need to activate the attack while the world is "twisting" from one version to the other. You can do this via the buttons and/or gates found throughout the levels. As long as the cannonball hits an opponent while the level is in the midst of transitioning, you will earn the trophy.

For this achievement, you need to get the cannonball power up (the light blue power up), and use it's upgrade against an opponent. In order to use the upgraded version of this power, you need to use it when the world is twisting into a different version; the world will twist if someone passes by one of the many electric gates or buttons that can be found in each level.
