The route above is the most common, but a few modifications can be made to make the route faster, easier or more consistent. What is boils down to is that you only have to collect four stars from the following:
The route above is the most common, but a few modifications can be made to make the route faster, easier or more consistent.
* [[Big Penguin Race#With 100 Coins | Big Penguin Race + 100 Coins]] (if you don't do this, you'll do [[Slip Slidin' Away#With 100 Coins | Slip Slidin' Away + 100 Coins]])
 
* [[Pyramid Puzzle#Standalone | Pyramid Puzzle ]] (you should only do this if you do Pillarless)
=== Beginner ===
* [[Navigating the Toxic Maze]]
One way to make the Main Route listed above easier is to substitute one of the most difficult stars in the route, the TTC 100 Coin star, with either [[Navigating the Toxic Maze]] or [[Wiggler's Red Coins#Standalone | Wiggler's Red Coins]].  Instead of [[Stomp on the Thwomp#With 100 Coins | Stomp on the Thomp + 100 Coins]] you will need to do [[Stomp on the Thwomp#Standalone | Stomp on the Thwomp]].  This route loses approximately 10 seconds to the Main Route.
* [[Wiggler's Red Coins#Standalone | Wiggler's Red Coins]]
 
* [[Stomp on the Thwomp#With 100 Coins | Stomp on the Thomp + 100 Coins]] (if you don't do this, you'll do [[Stomp on the Thwomp#Standalone | Stomp on the Thwomp]] without 100 coins)
=== Intermediate ===
A few slightly faster alternatives exist to the Main Route listed above where instead of [[Big Penguin Race#With 100 Coins | Big Penguin Race + 100 Coins]] and [[Slip Slidin' Away]] you can do any of the following combinations
* [[Slip Slidin' Away]], [[Navigating the Toxic Maze]] and [[Wiggler's Red Coins#Standalone | Wiggler's Red Coins]] (saves approximately (0-1 second)
* [[Slip Slidin' Away#With 100 Coins | Slip Slidin' Away + 100 Coins]] and [[Navigating the Toxic Maze]] (saves approximately 1 second)
* [Slip Slidin' Away#With 100 Coins | Slip Slidin' Away + 100 Coins]] and [[Wiggler's Red Coins#Standalone | Wiggler's Red Coins]] (saves approximately 2-3 seconds)
 
=== Advanced ===
Rather than doing [[Shoot to the Island in the Sky]] after Dark World Reds, you can save time by getting this star without the wingcap before [[Behind Chain Comp's Gate]]. This saves approximately 6-7 seconds in castle movement as you only have to enter BoB once.
 
Additionally, like the Intermediate routes, you can substitute [[Big Penguin Race#With 100 Coins | Big Penguin Race + 100 Coins]] with the following stars to save more time:
* [[Slip Slidin' Away]], [[Wiggler's Red Coins#Standalone | Wiggler's Red Coins]] and [[Pyramid Puzzle#Standalone | Pyramid Puzzle ]] (saves approximately 3-4 seconds)
* [[Slip Slidin' Away#With 100 Coins | Slip Slidin' Away + 100 Coins]] and [[Pyramid Puzzle#Standalone | Pyramid Puzzle ]] (saves approximately 4-5 seconds)
