* After collecting the [[Girder Sandwich]] moon, climb onto the nearby building and then [[trickjump]] directly across to the large metal platform with the Urban Stingbies. (Note that this is the same route used by [[Minimum Captures Any%|13 Captures]].) Roll past the Stingbies and use the metal wall at the north end to jump to the top, while panning the camera away from the three Stingbies next to the wall at the correct moment in order to store their attacks.

== Speedrun usage ==
=== 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.
=== Festival% ===
In [[Festival%]], City Hall Lost & Found is optimally skipped regardless, so City Hall Skip is confirmed to save 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%.
