Known Issues[]

Version 1.1 (Unofficial) (English):[]

  • The music has a tendency to cut in and out as a result of simple actions, like talking to an NPC/reading a sign, using the close-up camera modes, collecting items, or Mario falling asleep.
  • Some dialogue remains in German:
    • MIPs' dialogue before giving Mario the second MIPs Star
    • Act 1's name for course 11
  • The roof of the house in Overworlds 2 and 3 has some polygons facing the wrong way, making it possible to clip into the roof.
