SM64 Shining Stars (v1.0) - Hidden Star Temple copy

Описание: In v1.0 of sm64pie's hack, SM64 Shining Stars, dying anywhere in the third Overworld or its stages brings you to a bizarre location. You are taken to a box underneath the third overworld with a warp that takes you straight to a copy of the Star Temple, but with no music and no stars. Dying from anything that leaves you with 0 health will cause Mario to spawn here with 0 health, and crashes the game after the death fade-out (presumably because there's no Mario spawner object for him to spawn at from a death exit here). Dying from hitting a death barrier, however, allows full access to this level.

I don't know why this is in the hack. The original Star Temple is in its original location, so this isn't a placeholder map or anything. And the weirdest part about it is that there's a sign congratulating you for beating the game... even though as far as I know, you can only reach this point via dying in any overworld 3 level. There's also a pipe that takes you back to overworld 2.

If I had to guess, you were meant to access this area after collecting the final Grand Star in Bowser's Solar Fortress, but pie accidentally swapped the warp points for dying in overworld 3 and the ending sequence. That would explain why the ending sequence doesn't play out properly, even in later versions that have this error fixed. Confirmation would be appreciated, though.
