Game freezes when reaching a certain point in a level

Citra Support

Issue:
Hi, so recently i have been playing Mini mario & friends challenge (i got an amiibo folder), and everything seemed to be going fine in the first few minutes, until i reached a specific level where if i reached a specific point, the game would just freeze, the music would still play, but the game had 0 fps and had to forcefully restart the game. Thinking it was a bug, i went into that same level again, in that specific point, and it froze again, and forced me to restart it again, then i played the first level of dk’s barrel zone or whatever, and the same thing happened again. And what unites these freezes is that it froze right when a character would fall on a slope, same thing with dk, he would get launched on a slope, and the game would freeze. Might be also important to note that whenever a character reached a slope just by walking, their sprite couldn’t be seen, like it was invisible, until they reached the end of the slope, i think it might be correlated to the issue. I’m using Canary 2595 btw.
