However, [[Two-player mode|two-player]] Any% Minimum Captures runs utilize [[Morning Metro]] to reach the [[Metro Kingdom]] early in a state where there are not as many moons available. Because of this, there is generally no way to obtain 500 moons without additional captures, meaning one extra object must be captured to reach that total. The easiest way to do this is to simply exclude Morning Metro from the run, and fight [[Mechawiggler]] as normal, but the extra capture can theoretically be anything the player chooses.

There is one exception to this: if the player begins a two-player run on [[version 1.0.0]] and allows the use of [[Assist Mode]], it is possible to collect 497 moons, and updating the game to [[version 1.0.1]] or later will then cause the [[Multi Moon]] from [[Madame Broode]] to be automatically awarded to the player, resulting in a total of 500 moons. However, there are some moons in the [[Snow Kingdom]] that can be only accessed before achieving [[World Peace]] (which requires a capture) on version 1.0.0, so performing the entire run on any one version is not possible.

Note that it is not actually necessary to capture this additional object to reach Darker Side, since after beating the game, the player can purchase extra Power Moons from each shop and acquire as many as needed. However, since this is against the rules of the [[Darker Side (category)|Darker Side]] category, a valid Darker Side Minimum Captures run must collect 500 unique Power Moons prior to traveling to Darker Side. Otherwise, the run would be considered a [[Darker Side Dupes]] run rather than a Darker Side run.
