The player being awarded additional Gold rather than additional SP

Metroid Mania was aSpirit Boardevent focused onspirits from theMetroid series. It ran from 6 a.m. on June 28, 2019 to 6 a.m. on July 1, 2019 (UTC), and was repeated on the following dates:

• 6 a.m. on August 12, 2022 to 6 a.m. on August 15, 2022 (UTC)
• 6 a.m. on August 11, 2023 to 6 a.m. on August 14, 2023 (UTC)
• 6 a.m. on August 9, 2024 to 6 a.m. on August 12, 2024 (UTC)

During the event, defeating spirits on the Spirit Board which were part of the event was supposed to award moreSP than usual. During the original run, some players were awarded additionalGold instead for unknown reasons. Notably, the previous two Spirit Board events proceeding the original run awarded additional Gold, suggesting that it may have been a rollover bug.
