Luigi and the Violet Stars is a ROM hack made by usernamesarespiders (formerly usernamesarentimportant). This hack marks the creator's debut in ROM hacking.
This hack is also known for its amount of purple coin comet missions (a la Super Mario Galaxy) used in almost every level, and most importantly, faulty level design (e.g. falling through walls).
A pre-cursor remake of the hack, SL64 The Flower Cup, was released years after and features all the levels from the original.
Plot[]
Bowser has returned [yet again], and has painted his stars purple and dispersed them from level to level. However, 70 extras have popped up that he isn't aware of... sort of. It is up to Luigi, because Mario is busy with the green ones, the yellow ones, the blue ones, and the red ones, to collect these stars and give Bowser the boot.
