When Mario goes into a box and is transported to another box elsewhere in the level, is this essentially just a loading screen?

The transition seems to be live, as in some cases the exit box is somewhere visible, or at least somewhere that had to already be in memory.

The game can't be that large that distinct loading would be needed. It's footprint is very small.

I asked because I thought that in Mario Galaxy some of the warp stars were glorified loading screens.

I also thought the boxes seemed unnecessary at times.
