Morning Metro

Morning Metro is a trick that allows the player to access the mainland of the Metro Kingdom from the Warp Painting platform before it is reached normally. This is done by using a Cappy return cancel to activate a Checkpoint Flag on the mainland. Although the Odyssey is unloaded in the early state of the kingdom, meaning it is impossible to skip kingdoms by means of a sequence break, the trick is useful for Minimum Captures runs since it allows 20 moons to be collected in the kingdom without capturing the Sherm that is normally required to defeat Mechawiggler. Upon arriving in the kingdom via the Odyssey later in the run, the player can simply deposit the 20 moons they collected earlier.
