The [[RTA Guide/70 Star#HMC Early (Alternative)|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.
