This is a commentary video I did on stream explaining (most of) the ins-and-outs of the Kirby 64 100% speedrun's RNG manipulation route that makes obtaining a MUCH faster time possible. This route was used in the current WR run of this category, seen here - https://youtu.be/XocXoke3Ofk

I tried my best to point out everything that affects RNG, as well as all of the things that ARE affected by RNG. The biggest things that are made faster through RNG manipulation are:

1) Every boss fight gets the fastest patterns (minus Acro's 2nd phase)
2) Rick is always 1st try in 3-3
3) The button pattern in 2-4 is known, so we can keep speeding along with curling stone instead of ditching it for lightbulb
4) The pattern in 5-3 is known, so we don't have to wait for Adeleine to paint it out for us
5) The pattern in 4-3 is always Tophat, which is faster than Pizza and Parasol
6) Zero2 will always give us 1-cycle

To go along with this video, there is also a written guide with everything that affects RNG listed out, as well as the route used for this run, here - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GIib4sQlFjNGR3dZmrTe7nRjY1tYIL0cTBrqlzf25_k/edit?usp=sharing

Here is DarkRiolu27's explanation of counting 3-4 boulders for the riskier strat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k5TubUqQeiU
