Super Mario Galaxy Glitch- Death After Star

So apparently, if you just so happen to collect a star at the right time when a timer reaches zero, the star will go through the animation of collecting it, but the death animation will still happen, and you'll still lose a life.

Found this while attempting chuggaaconroy's first challenge...

I remember when I got a star after being hit by electricity. Mario was glowing in red while doing the animation xD

So that's what happens... in my playthrough the timer hit 0 just as soon as I touched it when it was on 1. But it didn't play the Death Cutscene.

Is it random or does have to be more than 1 tick when the timer is on 0?

man that sucks do you have to get the star all over again?
