Sapphire Emerald Ruby Stars With a Hint of Violet is a ROM hack made by ToasterKetchup, with 21 Stars and 3 courses.
A short hack featuring a grass themed level, as well as a water themed level and a sky themed level.
Overworld[]
The overworld is a simple field floating in the sky. Mario's Starting point is down beside it, with two walls nearby that allow him to wallkick up to the main area. The entrance for course 1 and a signpost with notes from the hack creator can be found down here. The entrance for course 2 can be reached by platforming across a broken bridge floating in the air, and jumping up into it. Course 3 can be accessed by climbing up the collection of platforms in the field's centre, and entering the rainbow doorway at the top. Both the Wing Cap Switch and the Vanish Cap Switch can be found on these platforms, too. Lastly, there is a large rainbow warp pad at the back of the field. This doesn't become active until Mario has all 21 Stars.

Surreal Dissonance[]

| C1: Grassy Grassy Grass Grass | C2: Air Sky Islands In The Sky | C3: Watery Watery Water |
Warp Pad Location 1 Head to the second area for this course via the dark entry way. The warp pad is inside the house here, and can be reached by longjumping across the small platforms preceeding it, one of which has the red coin Star's spawn point on it. |
Warp Pad Location 2 Ascend from Mario's Starting point by wallkicking up the two walls, then jump over to the platform with Goomba's on it. On the connecting sloped platform, the warp pad is on the other side, at the bottom of the slope. |
Warp Pad Location 3 Head over to the other side of the lake, where the entrance to the house is. The warp pad is inside the wooden crate that can be found to the left of the house's entrance- just jump into the crate from the top. |
Objective 1 Discover all five Secrets on the platforms around the bridge without falling into the void. |
Objective 2 Use the lava rings around Mario's Starting point to jump up a couple levels, then up to the small platform at the top that has the Star on it. There is a regenerative heart on the first level up. |
Objective 3 Parkour to the end of the level by longjumping and bouncing across the Goomba's. The last one is replaced by a Spindrift- use the twirl-drift it gives Mario to reach the Star's platform. This can be done by pressing and holding A to slow Mario's descent, and keeping him heading right as soon as he's twirling. |
