I was recently playing SMS just for fun (I have no speedrunning experience with this game) using the Dolphin Emulator. As I started Episode 6 of Sirena Beach, it looked normal until I finished the dialogue with the first guy. The whole level was cleaned instantly and I honestly have no clue what caused it. I wanted to let you guys know so you can investigate it.

Yeah, it only happens on Dolphin, especially when you use save states. It’s not just in Sirena 6 either, the goop looks normal but doesn’t do anything (NPCs don’t sink in it and Mario can walk through it as if there were none), which causes the Sirena 6 timer to stop immediately
