The Level Ender sprite that comes with Sprite Tool has got a bug in it:

If you use it in a boss room which should be followed by a cutscene, it will play the wrong one; it'll play the one before the correct one. If this happens in the first castle, it will try to play the cutscene before the first one, which doesn't exist (causing a crash).

To fix this problem, open level_ender.asm and find these two lines:
LDA $1493
BNE RETURN

Right after those, add these two:
LDA $13C6
BNE RETURN

That will fix the problem.

Nice! I'd just stopped using the castle destruction sequences since the game froze up if I tried to use one after the first castle, but now I can re-implement them. Thanks a lot.
