Yes, but if you edit the warps so that they do not take you to a star completion warp. (Castle Grounds 1-8 to Castle Grounds 1 - other #) for example it doesn't give the option to save. Because by doing this the game doesn't realise that the level was complete. This would be what I am planning on doing, a step by step game, warping from level to level by changing warp 240 to a different level warp. As for this, because it doesn't pertain to what I am going to do, I can get rid of the star selection and it won't effect a thing.
Edit: I got rid of act selecters, and guess what I noticed. First time I got rid of them I only got rid of it for Bob-omb battlefield. Turns out what happens is that it takes you to an act that is not an act. It thinks it is still in Castle Grounds, because stats are only availiable, but exit level and other options are not. What this leads me to believe is that it doesn't take you to an act, but rather to all the acts put in one. If something is not in all acts, it isn't there. I.E pink Bob-ombs in bob-omb battlefield. the third rolling ball in the thing. Because the ball generaters generate at random speed they are not always the same, so the ball generater isn't there. What I am curious is to why stars such as the one behind chain chomps gate disappear. But that is my theory. Also I noticed this in whomps fortress to. It gets rid of the bob-ombs, and it gets rid of tower at top as well as Whomp. Like I said. Only explanation I got here is that it doesn't take you to just 1 act, but rather all acts in 1. Also, by changing the level to 00 instead of 1b it goes to the last act. Well IDK, but at least after act 1.
Now a question because I don't like to double post.
Where is the warp that tells you where mario starts when you start a game. Where in Checksum? I found that the rom adress for warps and stuff only pertain to the location of where the warp is. because warp 1-4 and warp 1-40 are different warps with different rom adresses. But the first 8 bytes for there location are the same.
