Depending on the rule set, it may be possible to obtain over 500 moons and thus reach [[Darker Side (kingdom)|Darker Side]] without any additional captures; however, in some [[Two-player mode|two-player]] runs, this is not possible. This is because two-player Minimum Captures Any% runs utilize [[Morning Metro]] to reach the [[Metro Kingdom]] early in a state where there are not nearly as many moons available.


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.
Two-player runs on versions [[Version 1.0.1|1.0.1]] or higher cannot visit [[Bruncheon]] without any captures, meaning captureless [[Meat Skip]] cannot be performed for extra moons. This makes completing a two-player Darker Side run impossible on these versions without an extra capture.


There is one exception to this: if one 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 in any case to capture an additional object to reach Darker Side, since after beating the game, the player can purchase extra Power Moons from each [[Crazy Cap]] shop and acquire as many as needed. However, since this is against the rules of the [[Darker Side (category)|Darker Side]] category, a valid Minimum Captures Darker Side 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.

Minimum Captures Darker Side is a subcategory of Minimum Captures that involves completing the Darker Side category while capturing as few objects or enemies as possible. This entails reaching the Darker Side kingdom without purchasing more than one Power Moon from any shop, which is forbidden by the rules of the Darker Side category.

The format of a Minimum Captures Darker Side run is to complete Minimum Captures Any% and collect as many moons as possible without capturing any additional objects. Depending on the rule set, it may be possible to obtain over 500 moons and thus reach Darker Side without any additional captures; however, in some two-player runs, this is not possible. This is because two-player Minimum Captures Any% runs utilize Morning Metro to reach the Metro Kingdom early in a state where there are not nearly as many moons available.

Two-player runs on versions 1.0.1 or higher cannot visit Bruncheon without any captures, meaning captureless Meat Skip cannot be performed for extra moons. This makes completing a two-player Darker Side run impossible on these versions without an extra capture.

Note that it is not actually necessary in any case to capture an additional object to reach Darker Side, since after beating the game, the player can purchase extra Power Moons from each Crazy Cap shop and acquire as many as needed. However, since this is against the rules of the Darker Side category, a valid Minimum Captures Darker Side 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.
