In CCM, rather than doing 100 coin with the penguin race, do [[Slip Slidin' Away#With 100 Coins | Slip Slidin' Away + 100 Coins]].  Then replace the penguin race star with [[Pyramid Puzzle#Pyramid Puzzle Standalone | Pyramid Puzzle ]].  This way you'll have 30 stars when finishing LLL, which allows you to enter DDD past the 30 star door.

* In SL, you'll have to get [[Shell Shreddin' for Red Coins#Standalone | Shell Shreddin' for Red Coins]] to replace MIPS2.  Once finished with SL, go to tippy as normal instead of exiting course.

One way to make the Main Route easier is to substitute 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 Thwomp + 100 Coins]] you will need to do [[Stomp on the Thwomp#Standalone | Stomp on the Thwomp]].  As a rule of thumb, if you cannot do TTC 100 in less than 1:10 this route will be faster for you than the Main Route.

A few 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#With 100 Coins | Slip Slidin' Away + 100 Coins]] and [[Navigating the Toxic Maze]] (approximately same time as HMC Late Easy)

* [[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)

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 in the first split by doing [[Shoot to the Island in the Sky#Island Hop| Island Hop]]. This saves approximately 5-6 seconds in castle movement as you only have to enter Bob-omb Battlefield 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#Pyramid Puzzle Standalone | Pyramid Puzzle ]] (saves approximately 2-3 seconds)  

* [[Slip Slidin' Away#With 100 Coins | Slip Slidin' Away + 100 Coins]] and [[Pyramid Puzzle#Pyramid Puzzle Standalone | Pyramid Puzzle ]] (saves approximately 4-5 seconds)
