It is recommended that regardless of your skill level that you do some variation of the HMC late route for your PB attempts. The "HMC late" routes are based around getting the second MIPS star and doing HMC on your second trip to the basement. The [[#HMC Early|HMC Early]] routes refer to any route which does HMC on the first (and only) trip to the basement and does not get the second MIPS star.

In CCM, rather than doing 100 coin with the penguin race, do [[RTA Guide/Slip Slidin' Away#With 100 Coins | Slip Slidin' Away + 100 Coins]].  Then replace the penguin race star with [[RTA Guide/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.

The route above is the most common HMC early route, but a few modifications can be made to make the route faster and/or more consistent.

=== Alternative Stars ===
=== Replacing CCM 100c ===


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.

== General Route Variations ==
 
The following route variations apply to both the HMC early and HMC late routes.
 
=== TTC 100c ===
 
Instead of [[RTA Guide/Stomp on the Thwomp#With 100 Coins | Stomp on the Thwomp + 100 Coins]], you can do [[RTA Guide/Stomp on the Thwomp#Standalone | Stomp on the Thwomp]] on it's own along with an additional alternative star:
 
* Easy: [[RTA Guide/Shell Shreddin' for Red Coins#Standalone | Shell Shreddin' for Red Coins]]
* Easy: [[RTA Guide/Navigating the Toxic Maze]] without BLJ
* Intermediate: [[RTA Guide/Wiggler's Red Coins#Standalone | Wiggler's Red Coins]]
* Hard: [[RTA Guide/Pyramid Puzzle#Pyramid Puzzle Standalone | Pyramid Puzzle]]
 
Note: if you do HMC Early, SL Reds is already in the route and you will have to choose one of the other stars to replace TTC 100c.
 
=== Island Hop ===


Rather than doing [[RTA Guide/Shoot to the Island in the Sky|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 [[RTA Guide/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.
