Since meeting the 30 star door requirement is not an issue with HMC Early, you are allowed more flexibility in early game routing. The route above is the most common HMC early route, but a few modifications can be made to make the route faster and/or more consistent. Once finished with SL, go to tippy as normal instead of exiting course.
Get all of the HMC stars, then HMC toad, and then proceed to DDD as normal. The differences between this route and the standard HMC Late route are as follows: They may be preferable in some situations since they allow more flexibility in routing since you are not bound as tightly to the 30 star door requirement before DDD. Optimally, these routes are comparable to the standard HMC late route, however they are generally considered harder to optimize. The HMC Early routes do not make a second trip to basement in order to get the second MIPS star and consequently they do HMC on the first (and only) trip to the basement. Additionally, one can opt for Island Hop to skip visiting BOB twice. This way you'll have 30 stars when finishing LLL, which allows you to enter DDD past the 30 star door. Then replace the penguin race star with Pyramid Puzzle. In CCM, rather than doing 100 coin with the penguin race, do Slip Slidin' Away + 100 Coins. Enter HMC and exit course, then head to tippy.Go to HMC after MIPS, and get the Toad star before entering HMC.
Secrets in the Shallows & Sky + 100 Coins.The Princess's Secret Slide (Second Star).The Princess's Secret Slide (First Star).Can also opt to do "island hop" to skip backtracking to BOB with wingcap.Does pillarless twice, does 100c with slide instead of penguin race in CCM.The de facto standard route, most similar to 120 star.Same as intermediate, except replaces TTC 100 with SL Reds and Stomp on the Thwomp.Beginner - HMC Late (CCM 18) without TTC 100c.The HMC Early routes refer to any route which does HMC on the first (and only) trip to the basement and does not get the second MIPS star. The "HMC late" routes are based around getting the second MIPS star and doing HMC on your second trip to the basement. It is recommended that regardless of your skill level that you do some variation of the HMC late route for your PB attempts. Circumventing star door requirements (e.g.
