The HMC Early routes do not make a second trip to the basement in order to get the second MIPS star, and thus do HMC along with the rest of the basement. Optimally, these routes are comparable to the standard HMC late route, however they are generally considered harder to optimize. They may be preferable in some situations, since they allow more flexibility in routing from not being bound as tightly to the 30 star door requirement before DDD.

The differences between this route and the standard [[#HMC Late (CCM 18)|HMC Late]] route are as follows:

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.  

Since meeting the 30 star door requirement is not an issue with HMC Early, you are allowed more flexibility in early-game routing. Typically, people will replace [[RTA Guide/CCM 100 Coins #With Big Penguin Race|Big Penguin Race + 100 Coins]] and [[RTA Guide/Slip Slidin' Away|Slip Slidin' Away]] with [[RTA Guide/CCM 100 Coins #With Slip Slidin' Away|Slip Slidin' Away + 100 Coins]] and one alternative star. Also, since SL Reds already replaces the second MIPS star, you will need to add in another alternative star if you decide to skip TTC100.

The following route variations apply to both the HMC early and HMC late routes.

Instead of [[RTA Guide/TTC 100 Coins#With Stomp on the Thwomp|Stomp on the Thwomp + 100 Coins]], you can do [[RTA Guide/Stomp on the Thwomp|Stomp on the Thwomp]] on its own along with an additional alternative star:
