Now it makes sense!

When you die in the ending, and are restarted, it goes quiet, the key to the last floor isn't there, the sub is back (and if using AR, trees are messed up). Well I have just figured out why this happens. It's very simple:

You were watching the ending. The game knows the ending is going on. But because you die and restart before it's over, the game thinks you are STILL in the ending scenes, and that the conditions shown after (such as the submarine being back, snowman built, etc) are the current conditions with the game. And because of stuff like that, I guess certain sounds are cut out.

So yeah. Any comments or ideas on if I am right or wrong?

Never finished the DS version.... but didn't that happen in the original, or something like that.

[cheat-master30]

Not sure. Would not be easy to do. Would require careful Gameshark usage...

[Symerwizkid22]

ahh... gameshark...

[cheat-master30]

I remember corrupted data when I think 'Gameshark' personally...

Wow, talk about screwing up the ending! I managed to hit a button combo to change character in the ending, in the part with the red coins below Wiggler, and I was sent to the actual level, and could walk around, do the usual stuff etc, with some sound disabled. I then got a star but instead of coming out of the painting, Mario dropped down outside the castle and celebrated!

Is this on the AR or something, or something you can do with no game-enhancing devices?

[cheat-master30]

Action Replay only...

Weird, I'll try it out.

Something I found out using ARDS is that, Australian and American games use the same AR codes and such. Weird. o_O

They do? Pretty interesting. Action Replay has led to many weird discoveries for me in the last few days...
