How many stars can I have in a ROM hack?
I know each main course in SM64 has six stars + the 100 coin star.
Then there's
The Secret Aquarium (which is one star),
Wing Mario over the Rainbow (which is one star),
Tower of the Wing Cap (which is one star),
Cavern of the Metal Cap (which is one star),
Vanish Cap under the Moat (which is one star), and
The Princess's Secret Slide (which is two stars).
All of these stars add up to 120.
But I know a lot of SM64 hacks have 130.
There's SM74 which has 151 stars.
So how many can I have without doing any custom coding? Are there any patches that extend the limit? Do/does the patch(s) overwrite useful code?
