It makes sense to me. There's a star in the ship, therefore it must be a starship. Still wrecked, though.
Last we left off, we had a very harrowing puzzle to solve in the sunken ship! So we're right back into solving that and continuing on towards that next star we need! And the mayor of Seaside Town also needs it... for some reason. I'm sure there's nothing to worry about here.

Deep under the sea,
A star is awaiting me.
... Along with some sharks.
Stream over!
Another star in the bag and we made our way all the way to Nimbus Land! After flubbing the Wall Climb a few times trying to get the Troopa Medal (got it offscreen as seen above), getting owned in Look the Other Way at Grate Guy's Casino, and actually getting caught by Dodo... we should be good to continue our way forward next time to reveal Valentina's deception. And find those last two stars.
Afterward, we raided over to Geop as he plays Ocarina of Time for the very first time!
