Hey, I'm swordsmankirby, and this is my tutorial for speedrunning Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. I opted for this type of format because I wanted the tutorial to be modular:

• If any strats change, I can fix just one clip or two.
• Readers can browse at their own pace.

The lack of modularity in tutorials I've tried to learn from was sometimes frustrating for me, so I hope that the way I've made this guide will facilitate the learning process for others. I'll update this over time, but right now, you can check out what I have so far. For reference, the world record is 1:08:49 by me.

In the text, I freely reference enemy names. A comprehensive list can be found here.

Also, my any% tutorial has been completed for awhile now.
