Anon Your post just reminded me of something that confused the hell out of me as a child.

So as a kid I owned two copies of Super Mario World. One came with my system and the other my dad gave to me at a later date saying he got it from a friend at work, but was probably stolen as I found out later in life he and his buddy ran a chop shop stealing cars and car parts.
Anyway the weird thing is the stolen cart had three saves on it that were permanent. They were always there and always at the same point. No matter how many times I played them and saved they would not change. One save was set right after Castle 1, the second save was at the start of the forest of illusion and the third save was at Bowser's castle. No matter what I did these saves would always stay where they were and never progress.
The label on the cart was different then my normal one too. This is not my pic but the labels looked exactly like this, the weird cart looking like the top copy.

My best guess was that it was a cart from a store demo kiosk, but it didn't have any markings to indicate this like most "Not For Resale" carts.
Does anyone have any idea what the deal was with that cart?
