Documenting the community's current understanding of RNG in Kirby's Dream Land below

  • unknowns: ROM dependent

  • stars produced show an advance in RNG seed visually to the player, are set when the game is started.

  • Actions that create stars: landing from a jump, colliding with a wall, colliding with an enemy causing it to explode.

  • inhaling creates high star rng skip rate, unknown if this is tied to framerate

  • Rate stays the same going through doors and changing levels, randomly re-rolled on dying, set to default on game start, game over screen, reset done in game.

I can dig roguelike runs, necrodancer is a pretty legit game too. Hope you find what you're looking for through us!

GB/GBC - Gambatte Qt R571, BGB 1.5.2. All versions, distros and revisions of VBA have known emulation errors and inaccuracies with gameboy and color games.

DS - Currently desamune 9.9.9 and 9.9.11 are inaccurate for DS speedruns. Please read vulajin's research efforts for an explanation on this: http://pastebin.com/BAMadVRg

Welcome! Big fan of ninja game runs and this game is hella addicting casually. Hope you enjoy the community experience!

Just want to mention a brief trick previously known to optimize time and save around 4 seconds through a run. If you exhale with a puff or star automatically when enter a door you'll take an extra few miliseconds to enter. If you exhale manually then enter you don't lose this time. Remember to breathe!

I made a video detailing a small trick in the time darkness sky engine that could end up saving 10 minutes or more over the whole run. Putting it here to document its existance.

If you need official hardware Vita TV can run most purchased PSP games. Don't have much experience with this myself, but that's what I've seen romscout use for prinny 1.

Made a video about this somewhat little known glitch to share with the community. Please read the youtube description for an explanation.

Update: After you trigger this this you can let go of the B button, no need to hold it.

Hey, been routing this game independently for a few days now and wanted to point out a glitch after the umbrella room. Using the down+up trick and holding right doubles your speed until the end of the room only for some reason. Looking forward to doing runs and would love to participate in the community if there's a group somewhere.

The strider 2014 submission page seems to be broken. Users can submit runs but get errors doing so. errors such as: "Warning:Recevied more than one row. Use query() if you intend to fetch multiple rows. in /home/speedrun/src/Database.php on line 58" appear and the run never appears in the mod verify queue. Can someone look into this?
