Floating Hotel

Floating Hotel is area in B3313.

Description
Upon entering the area, the player spawns in the hotel's courtyard, which is full of trees and Goombas. The hotel itself, excluding the lobby, consists of a big maze-like room, with several doors at the end of it. Exiting the courtyard leads to a large open area, much like a balcony, with some trees and several small islands in the background sky.

Origins
The area's layout mostly seems to be an original creation, although the hotel's hallway with the many doors might be inspired by Marionova's own personalization-themed hack, Breaking the Barrier, which has multiple similar hallways. Textures are taken from the vanilla Super Mario 64 and beta versions of it, such as the Shoshinkai and E3 versions. The appearance of the trees comes from unused sprites found in the vanilla game's source code.

The music playing is the "Underground" theme from the Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island OST.

Stars
This area has 1 star to collect:

Trivia

 * Before v0.6, the area didn't have any stars and was much more gloomier in nature, surrounded by a grey fog and basically lifeless. There were also no hotel rooms. The significance of this is unknown, possibly irrelevant as it has been overwritten.
 * From v0.6.1 to v0.6.8 (?), there was a pipe left unintentionally below the hotel's courtyard, reachable via the wing cap, which led to the Haunted Castle Grounds, allowing for the hack to be beaten with 0 stars. However, said pipe has since been removed, increasing the star requirement for beating the hack to 30 stars.
 * The doors in the hotel's main room are of rather peculiar nature.
