I was still somewhat confused on the behavior of the 100 coin star when you collected the 100th coin under Time Stop, so I looked into it a bit further with the help of the Levitate cheat to make it easier. (Everything I do in this video can be accomplished without it). I figured out that the initial spawn point of the 100 coin star occurs where you collected the 100th coin, but the game is programmed to put the star above Mario, who is normally in the same place. What the programmers didn't expect is for Mario to be able to be in a different spot from where he collected the 100th coin, so when the star attempts to go above Mario it actually overshoots him horizontally. This explains the erratic behavior that the 100th coin star had when exiting Time Stop.
