Connections
As shown by an interview that has seemingly vanished off of the internet, Martin Chávez, the mayor of Albuquerque in 1996 has connections with the president of Nintendo in 1996, Hiroshi Yamauchi. Hiroshi Yamuchi and Martin Cháves have done apparently done business together in the past, during Martin Chávez's visit to Japan in 1994. As a nod to the business they have done together, Shigeru Miyamoto attempted to add in the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico as a quick joke to boost employee morale. However, he soon removed it as he had no plans to have the level actually in the game, and to make space for far more important content in the game.

Anomalous Appearance
As the Personalisation A.I. can pull beta or removed content from the game, the level can still appear in certain personalized copies. Generally, people describe the level as being quite large, and it can sometimes have more than 7 stars. Notably, people report NPCs in the level that can have unique dialogue that will sometimes even hint towards the location for a star inside or outside of the level.

Geography
The reported geography of the level generally is a very expansive city, with buildings that can sometimes be entered in certain copies. Generally, the level has a skybox similar to Shifting Sand Land, and right outside the level players have spotted sand dunes that are usually not accessible.

Trivia

 * Some players have reported references to a meth lab within the level in certain copies, or have even found a meth lab. What this means is unknown.
 * In most copies with the level, datamining has revealed that even in copies where you cannot enter the buildings, data still exists for the interiors.
