In order to use RNG manipulation in a run, the instructions in the [[#Before the run starts|next section]] must be followed first, and then the manip must be carried throughout each level, with instructions on how to do so presented below. Kirby 64 takes so long to reset that it would typically not be worth it to try and recover the manip once it is lost, so the run must either be carried forward without the manip or restarted from the beginning. Because of this, it is recommended that runners who wish to learn manip do so sequentially, starting at [[#1-1|1-1]], as trying to reset in the middle of a run to achieve a specific RNG value will most likely be slower than dealing with bosses' random actions.

The instructions for each level will start with a relatively consistent method to obtain the correct RNG value and copy ability starting from a reset; that way, runners can practice each level on console with the same RNG as during a run. Any time Kirby should advance RNG will be noted, as well as any noteworthy interactions with random enemies. For any sections of a level that do not have explicit instructions, the runner should use normal speedrun strategies and not go out of the way to interact with or avoid enemies. Each section will end with a picture of the picnic or picnics that will indicate the RNG value is correct, starting with the picnic that will appear if the manip was performed correctly (in some cases multiple RNG values will result in the same value after the picnic is spawned, even though the picnics themselves will be different). Any picnics that give an RNG value nearby the target value will also be shown. If there is more than one level-end RNG value that will result in the correct or a usable value after the picnic spawns, the distance between those RNG values and the target value will be noted. The enemy info card from the picnic should not be collected unless specifically instructed to do so. | The instructions for each level will start with a relatively consistent method to obtain the correct RNG value and copy ability starting from a reset; that way, runners can practice each level on console with the same RNG as during a run.
