Checkerboard

The Checkerboards are areas in B3313.

Description
The area is a flat ground with a checkerboard texture, and stars on it.

Origins
The area may be based on Dudaw's old Beta Revival, or might be taken from the B-Roll beta version of Super Mario 64. Although created before the video's release, the checkerboard texture prominently featured in Greenio's "dev_chronicle" video.

There is no music playing in the area.

Plot significance
The significance of these areas is unknown.

Stars and warps
These areas have 10 stars to collect altogether, which are all warps leading into different instances, namely:

Course 4

 * Sandy Skyloft
 * Tiny-Huge Island (beta)

Course 9

 * Uncanny Courtyard

Course 15

 * Cool, Cool Mountain (beta)
 * Flower Fields

Wing Cap

 * Click Clock Climb
 * Lethal Cavern
 * Rocky Trek
 * Tall Floating Fortress
 * Tick Tock Blocks

All of these warps are found in item boxes at the end of the area's linear section, with the exception of the Uncanny Courtyard, where standing on the plaque in the maze gets you here.

Trivia

 * Since the player always spawns right into one of the stars' hitbox, all of these areas are unexplorable. However, it isn't hard to imagine what the rest of them looks like.
 * The Uncanny Courtyard Checkerboard star shares the same star ID as the "Return a Baby Penguin to the Mother Penguin" star in the Course 9 version of Snow Slide. Therefore, collecting the star from one of them is the same as collecting the star from the other and thus you will not get a duplicate star.
