What happens

---

Using the Yellow-2 stone for the unfocus or focus stone might desync your game. This only affects stages after Stage 1: Stages 2 through 6. In other words, only main game credits are counted: stage practice, spell practice, and Extra are not affected.

How it happens

---

There are two different ways to desync with Yellow-2:

1. If the player starts a Yellow-2 replay on a stage between Stage 2 and Stage 6, the replay will desync. Playing the replay starting from Stage 1 might play the replay correctly.
2. However, if while playing the game, the player skipped through the result screen with the Yellow-2 stone out at the end of a stage, the replay is guaranteed to desync even when starting from Stage 1.

Why it happens

---

Yellow-2's options drift in a certain pattern over time. The position of Yellow-2's options is not saved in the replay.

There are two different ways to desync with Yellow-2:

1. Because the position of Yellow-2's options are not saved in the replay, when the game initialises the selected stage, the options will have their default position. This is always going to be wrong if you select Stages 2 through 6 in your replay menu.
2. When the replay enters the result screen, the replay fully waits out the 5 seconds before the stage transition despite that delay having been skipped in the run. The Yellow-2 options continue to fully drift those full 5 seconds, causing their position to become off-sync thus leading to the desync.
