Categories
The format of a Darker Side Minimum Captures run is to complete Any% Minimum Captures and collect as many moons as possible without capturing any additional objects. In single-player runs, it is possible to obtain 500 moons and thus reach Darker Side without any additional captures.
However, 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 no known 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.
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, a valid Darker Side Minimum Captures run must collect 500 unique Power Moons prior to traveling to Darker Side.
