Mario is brought back to life by BroDute and Timerock after he has died so that he can collect stars that will be used to repower the Scepter and remake the world. At the conclusion of the game, Mario will have to choose between BroDute and Timerock as the recipient of the power of the Scepter, which will allow him to recreate Earth. However, there is a hidden third ending as well. The ROM hack that was created by BroDute and is known as Star Revenge 8: Scepter of Hope is the eighth and final installment in the Star Revenge series.
This hack is structured very differently from others, utilizing both an overworld hub and connected levels instead of just the former. In addition to the regular keys and stars, the levels can also be limited by badges and caps, which is an unusual twist on the standard system. This video game features 121 stars across 15 different worlds.
