	When the player waits at the title screen, ~~they have a~~ chance of viewing the [[Coral Reef]] demo where [[Starfy]] runs and jumps into the [[Balloon]]. If it is exited when [[Starfy]]'s at around the same x-coordinate of the Balloon, this causes incorrect playback of the next demo, as long as it is the area of Coral Reef where Starfy normally swims past [[Moe]] and around the room. Instead of behaving normally, Starfy will swim left into the wall and collide with the floor before swimming back and hitting Moe with a [[Star Spin]]. This initiates a conversation with Moe, which ends the playback of the demo because the game expects the player to press the 'A' button or the 'Start' button to continue. After the conversation with Moe has finished, the player is free to control Starfy as if they were using a regular save file.

	If the player saves using the [[Mermaid]] or the ~~suspend-save~~ feature, it will overwrite the existing save that the player was using. The game is considered to be "completed". It will have a star next to the save file, meaning that the player is able to see the post-game title screen. The player is also registered as having seen 1/202 entries in [[Toys\|Picture Book]], even though he or she won't be able to see it.
