Following is a list of everything known to advance RNG in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards

Initiating Kirby's default standing animation will advance RNG by 1. RNG will advance within a few frames of Kirby being on the ground with no buttons being pressed after such actions as:

• Jumping
• Ducking
• Sliding
• Inhaling
• Exhaling
• Throwing something that Kirby is holding (which will advance RNG once on its own, and then advance it a second time if Kirby stands still afterward)
• Kirby performing an idle animation (which will advance RNG at least once on its own, and then advance it again if Kirby stands still afterward)
• Using a copy ability
• Walking or running
• Taking damage or getting knocked back
• Climbing through a semisolid or up a ledge

Exceptions - RNG will not advance if the player stands still and:

• Kirby is underwater
• There is something in Kirby's mouth
• Kirby is holding an object over his head
• Kirby is at 1 HP
• Kirby is teetering on a ledge
• Dedede is being controlled instead of Kirby

Other actions that advance RNG by 1:

• Throwing an object up or forward
  • The act of spitting out an object does not advance RNG
• Entering a level
  • Does not advance RNG if Kirby is at 1 HP
  • Entering certain boss fights advances RNG more than once
• Going through certain loading zones
  • If Kirby dies in a room that advances RNG when loaded (including the first room of a level), RNG will advance again
• When a Propeller starts chasing Kirby, which only happens when he has a copy ability
• An object spawning in the background while Kirby is in the foreground, and vice versa
• When Boneheads descend after taking flight
• When a Spark-i runs into a wall but is too far away to notice Kirby
• When a Glom blinks twice
• When a Zoos throws a lightning bolt (but not when it drops a raindrop)
• Hitting the ground after being airborne in a Waddle Dee section
  • RNG will not advance if an action is taken immediately upon landing, such as jumping or taking damage
  • Initially entering the vehicle will advance RNG once as well
• When a Burnis or Frigis drops a rock
