'''City Hall Skip''' is a strategy that can be used to reach the top of the New Donk City Hall in nighttime [[Metro Kingdom]] without entering its [[New Donk City Hall Interior|interior]]. The trick involves using [[Stingby storage]] to obtain enough height to [[trickjump]] onto the large wedding billboard facing the Heliport and then continuing to trickjump to the top. The trick is faster than traversing the interior of the building, making it optimal for categories such as [[Festival%]], but since the trick bypasses the ''City Hall Lost & Found'' moon, it is not yet known whether it is optimal for categories such as [[Any%]] that require collecting enough moons to leave the kingdom as it would necessitate collecting a replacement moon.

=== Any% ===

~~It is unknown whether~~ City Hall Skip ~~saves~~ time in [[~~Any%~~]], ~~since~~ the ''City Hall Lost & Found'' moon ~~would need to~~ be replaced by collecting ~~an extra~~ moon during daytime. ~~However,~~ it is ~~more likely that the trick would save time~~ in ~~the variant of Any% where~~ [[~~Network System Clock Abuse~~]] ~~is allowed~~, ~~since~~ the ''City Gardening: ~~Building~~ Planter'' ~~moon would likely be~~ the ~~fastest replacement in that case~~.

Although City Hall Skip vastly reduces the amount of time taken to reach the [[Mechawiggler]] fight, it results in skipping the ''City Hall Lost & Found'' moon, requiring that it be replaced by collecting another moon during daytime. The optimal moon to replace it with is ''City Gardening: Building Planter'' (although in [[Two-player mode|two-player]] speedruns, the resulting optimal reroute also replaces the [[Captain Toad]] moon with ''City Gardening: Plaza Planter''). Overall, in one-player speedruns, this results in the skip saving around seven seconds.

=== Festival% ===

In [[Festival%]], ''City Hall Lost & Found'' ~~is optimally skipped regardless~~, so City Hall Skip ~~is confirmed to save~~ time.

In [[Festival%]], there is no need to collect a replacement moon for ''City Hall Lost & Found'', so City Hall Skip saves significantly more time.

=== Minimum Captures Any% ===

In the one-player variants of [[Minimum Captures Any%]], the fastest known route passes the Urban Stingbies regardless, as the [[spark pylon]] to the right cannot be used. This means that less of a detour would be taken to perform City Hall Skip than in standard Any%. However, a replacement moon would likely be slower in this ~~category~~, as there are fewer fast moons to be obtained when captures are disallowed. ~~Therefore~~, it~~'s difficult to say~~ whether City Hall Skip ~~is more or less likely to save~~ time ~~here than~~ in Any%.

In the one-player variants of [[Minimum Captures Any%]], the fastest known route passes the Urban Stingbies regardless, as the [[spark pylon]] to the right cannot be used. This means that less of a detour would be taken to perform City Hall Skip than in standard Any%. However, a replacement moon would likely be slower in this speedrun, as there are fewer fast moons to be obtained when captures are disallowed. Due to these factors, it is unknown whether City Hall Skip saves time in Minimum Captures Any%, and how much if so.
