The alternate path of this dungeon includes no bosses and has 40 floors.

Moon, otherwise you can use the warp on the left to warp straight to the locked doors. There is a  hidden in the bottom-left corner that you need to get to open the locked doors and progress onto Floor 11 and will automatically disappear from the bag then. There's an at the floor's entrance in case you do not have Rock Smash. Two more Escape Orbs, two apples and two Leppa Berries are additionally hidden in parts of this floor.

After Floor 20, there will be a room that endlessly loops with many stairs. One staircase has a blinking star next to it; this will bring you on the normal path through Mt. Moon. The one left and up from where you spawn in brings you on the alternate path; it ends at Floor 40, (you start at 21) and has different scenery and a different mix of the same Pokémon you'll see in the normal path. Lastly, one of the stairs brings you to the miniboss with Clefable and Clefairy. Note that their staircase does not have a "Do you want to continue?" option and will immediately warp you in.
