The HMC Early routes do not make a second trip to basement in order to get the second MIPS star and consequently they do HMC on the first (and only) trip to the basement. Optimally, these routes are comparable to the standard HMC late route, however they are generally considered harder to optimize. They may be preferable in some situations since they allow more flexibility in routing since you are not bound as tightly to the 30 star door requirement before DDD, see [[#HMC Early Variations|HMC Early Variations]] | |||
=== Differences from HMC Late === | |||
The differences between this route and the standard [[#HMC Late (CCM 18)|HMC Late]] route are as follows: | |||
* After LLL go directly to HMC. Get all of the HMC stars, then HMC toad, and then proceed to DDD as normal. | * After LLL go directly to HMC. Get all of the HMC stars, then HMC toad, and then proceed to DDD as normal. | ||

=== | === Alternative Stars === | ||
Since meeting the 30 star door requirement is not an issue with HMC Early, you are allowed more flexibility in routing. Most commonly, people will replace [[RTA Guide/Big Penguin Race#With 100 Coins | Big Penguin Race + 100 Coins]] and [[RTA Guide/Slip Slidin' Away|Slip Slidin' Away]] with [[RTA Guide/Slip Slidin' Away#With 100 Coins | Slip Slidin' Away + 100 Coins]] and one alternative star. Also, since SL Reds is already replacing MIPS 2, if you decide to skip TTC 100c you will need to add in another alternative star. | |||
