It is recommended, regardless of your skill level, to do some variant of the [[#HMC Late|HMC Late]] route, which involves initially skipping HMC during basement and returning to it later as part of collecting the second MIPS star. The [[#HMC Early|HMC Early]] routes are those that do HMC on the first (and only) trip to the basement, and so do not collect the second MIPS star. | It is recommended, regardless of your skill level, to do some variant of the [[RTA Guide/70 Star#HMC Late (Standard Route)|HMC Late]] route, which involves initially skipping HMC during basement and returning to it later as part of collecting the second MIPS star.

There are three options that are usually taken in this (HMC Late) route. They are independent, but in practice usually implemented in order of increasing skill level. | There are three options that are usually taken in this (HMC Late) route.

**[[RTA Guide/Shoot to the Island in the Sky|Shoot to the Island in the Sky]] typically requires wing cap and so must be done after its unlock in [[RTA Guide/Tower of the Wing Cap|Tower of the Wing Cap]]. At top level, a hard trick known as [[RTA Guide/Shoot to the Island in the Sky#Island Hop|Island Hop]] can be done to finish the level without the wing cap, and so it's moved to the start of the run, with the other Bob-omb Battlefield star. This skips backtracking to Bob-omb Battlefield later on and so saves time on castle movement. Overall, it's about 5–6s faster than the advanced route. | **[[RTA Guide/Shoot to the Island in the Sky|Shoot to the Island in the Sky]] typically requires wing cap and so must be done after its unlock in [[RTA Guide/Tower of the Wing Cap|Tower of the Wing Cap]].
