Kirby's Speedrun

This unofficial mod for Kirby's Dream Land replaces the in-game score display with a speedrun timer. It begins when you press START on the title screen, and ends when you land the final blow on King Dedede.

Over the course of a run, gameplay may drift from vanilla by a few frames, so consider this a speedrunning practice tool rather than an authoritative timekeeper.
