"Santa Mario" - yoshicookiezeus As I thought, I did found out what the problem was! Luckily for you, it's a problem that actualy the vast majority of people playing normaly wouldn't encounter. Basically, what happened is that during my playthrough, I think it's around world 4 or 5 , SNN silently sent me an update for the hack, which I did. The problem is, by updating the rom like that, it deleated some of the SRAM that the game used to track down which castles where cleared. So yeah, although world 8 castle was cleared, it didn't recognise some of the earlier ones as cleared anymore!
