This is an interesting thing I found while working on my hack.
Turns out that the levels that do not have act selections copy there acts from the previous level.

Castle grounds in the list of bytes after 0xE8D98 has the byte 00.
I tested this with other non act selecter levels such as Peaches slide as well which has a byte of 13.

by making one level with an act selecter warp to a level without it, if that level were on act 1, the objects I had on act 1 in the other level would appear.

So the same would go for act 2.

I tested it, and it did the same thing with the byte 13.

Here is a video demenstrating this find. (Note: The levels look like the same level but are different. I had to use multiple levels to fix a camera glitch for the underground.)

I'm sorry, Gamekrazzy, but I can't really trust you to know what you're talking about after this trainwreck.

Ask VL_Tone or Messiaen before posting anything to see if it is a legitimate 'discovery' next time, and don't eat their time--the less time spent on non-discoveries, the better.

To prevent VL_Tone from wasting too much time debating things we already know with you and/or replying to a topic which might be nothing, I lock this topic until VL_Tone or Messiaen confirms it is an actual discovery... and ask you to ask them first before posting next time.
