Overview

Hazy Maze Cave is the sixth course in the game. It is located in the room behind a door without a star number in the basement and is accessed by hopping into a black-colored pool.

Tips

The HMC Toad spawns at 12 stars
For 16 star make sure you get Toad before your 15th star or else MIPs will not spawn until you reload basement.
Although the entrance to Cavern of the Metal Cap is within HMC, it is actually a Castle Secret Star so it won't show up in the Star Select screen.

16 Star Route

For 16 star, you need to get toad before the 15th star. For the standard LBLJ route you won't have enough stars upon reaching HMC for toad to spawn, so you will get Toad in between HMC stars.
