Has it been determined if any emulators are console-accurate for the credits warp glitch? I've been playing around with it on BizHawk but I don't know if any findings would actually translate to an NES. While messing around, I also found that it's viable to mix in the third room instead of the first one since it allows for better movement and lag reduction in the first two rooms: https://tasvideos.org/UserFiles/Info/638712787127905239 (uses same ROM as the current publication). Mixing in the first room might still be faster so I'm going to look into that next.

Not sure about the emulators, but no one has console verified any TASes for this game yet. I have yet to try the newest "no abilities" one (which uses Bizhawk 2.8). I have however tried [3318] NES Kirby's Adventure "game end glitch" by TASeditor, MESHUGGAH, CoolKirby, Masterjun, MUGG & illayaya in 00:35.76 quite a few times on hardware. From what I recall, Kirby would always end up doing something differently than what the TAS expected. Like not jumping at the exact right moment. I've never tested with RAM initialization though (don't have the hardware for that), so maybe that would make a difference.

Kirby not jumping at the right time is something I experienced when using any other version of the ROM, so be sure you're using the exact one that the TAS uses. A desync like that sounds more like lag differences between versions, whereas the game not warping to the credits might be affected by RAM initialization. In my experience, the game would always desync in the second room at the top of the stairs before I found the correct game version.

Tried my hand at optimizing this route, was able to get down to 2090 frames: https://tasvideos.org/UserFiles/Info/638717233123507755

Good job - I've been working on it as well and was able to get it to 2070 frames. Not sure if I'll be able to squeeze out any more at this point: https://tasvideos.org/UserFiles/Info/638717266965499595 If you try beating this TAS, let me know if you're able to do so. I also tried optimizing the room 1 mix route. I was about 27 frames ahead of the current publication halfway through room 1 but lost most of those frames to lag and only ended up 8 frames ahead (it doesn't go to the credits, but it's slower than the other route anyway). I doubt this route is worth pursuing any further since room 3 mix seems much faster: https://tasvideos.org/UserFiles/Info/638717262545190640
