Super Mario 64 DS question

edited January 2007 in Games and Technology
I remember hearing that there was some kind of glitch regarding the star you get for collecting the 8 red coins in the courtyard in the back of the castle where the ghosts are. The glitch was really about the coins, and that if you didn't go for that star after some kind of amount of time (or perhaps stars collected), you wouldn't be able to get the red coins from the ghosts and so you wouldn't be able to get that star from it.

Does anyone know exactly what I'm talking about (if what I typed isn't completely correct), and if a work around this glitch has been discovered by now? I'm just curious.

    Oh whoa. I didn't know about that. I cherish my 2 completed saves (though everyone thinks I copied them). I only need 36 stars to finish the third file.

    I love this game.

    I got pwned by this bug too.

    Just go for those red coins ASAP.

    Hmm, not sure if that was a problem for me or not...

    ...but then, without an analog, there's no way I've the patience to even THINK of trying for 100%.

    I was thinking that if you didn't get it early on Toad gave you a free star later. I have two complete files and one at 130 something so I never ran into any trouble.

    That's only in the later revisions of the game.

    The version with the boo stars glitch also has a few other ones, like being able to swim around Tall Tall Mountain and freezing the game up on Dry Dry Desert by losing your hat or something (go look it up on GFaqs)

    You could also escape the invisible walls on a lot of levels, including in the castles grounds. I even took a video of myself doing it a while back.

    I would still be so thrilled if they managed a sort of upgrade to the Virtual Console game that enhanced the graphics and added the new stuff from the DS version... WITH the classic controls.

    Btw, how do I know if I've got the glitched version or not? Is there any sort of designation?
