I've no logs to share (playing in SNES9x via OpenEmu on Mac) but I just encountered the bug.
Playing as Caped Mario on Yoshi in Larry's Castle with 99 lives. Get the castle defeated cutscene, and then the coin cutscene. Then end up in the
top left of the map as Small Mario with 1 life. I can select a level, which is a bonus stage (roulette) - but can't finish or exit it.
I can view the
Status Screen which now only Shows a very incomplete World 1.
I was able to do this twice in a row (reset after get soft-locked). Haven't tried again yet.
EDIT:
Restored my save state, purposely lost (even though I still had the five coins), saw the coin cutscene. And, all good (or so I thought). In the right place in the overworld. Showed I got all the coins.
So then I decided to finish the level. Which I did and... got the 96 exit cutscene and ended up with the same problem. Back to the top-left of the map (only this time Dinosaur Land is "different", as expected).
I don't really have anything to base this on, but maybe consecutive cutscenes are a problem? (Castle + Coins, or Castle + 96). Also curious that when I encountered the glitch the first time I did technically get the 96 exits too, but no cutscene at the time.
