Changes to Story Mode

Fixed an issue where, after clearing the final stage, a communication error would occur in the middle of a certain scene and return the player to the square.

The post-clear cutscenes can be viewed by clearing the final stage again. In cases where this error occurred, the final stage is treated as cleared, and the stage can be skipped from the pause menu when reattempting.
