Star Revenge 2 (Act 2): Night of Doom (formerly known as Star Revenge: Night of Doom) is a major ROM hack made by BroDute and released on July 2013. This hack serves as a sequel to Star Revenge 2 (Act 1) To The Moon, and is the extreme version of Star Revenge 1: Star Takeover (with compiled levels from Star Revenge Redone and the former Star Revenge 2: To The Moon).
Upon its initial release, it is often considered to be one of the hardest custom Super Mario 64 ROM hacks out there as its popularity grew far due to the insane difficulty and was often compared to Super Mario 74: Extreme Edition as it was more influenced by. It also has officially introduced new in-joke elements such as the Troll Star and the Ice Cream running gag, which they will be later re-used throughout the rest of the Star Revenge series.
On April 2015, a remake of the hack, Star Revenge 2.5: Remnant of Doom, was released. It was made to signficantly tone down the difficulty over the original, although it stays faithful to the extreme hack convention from its era.
On September 2018 until April 2020, Star Revenge 2: Night of Doom was re-released with meta-updates in response to the backlash about the extreme hack controversy. It continued to be "memed on" with particular changes across versions 1.1 and 1.3 (as 1.2 is the final update). Despite BroDute claiming it not being up to par with the main timeline of the series, it was widely criticized with mixed reviews.
It receives an eventual cult following in the ROM Hack community thanks to its speedruns and completions, even though not much regarded as popular as Super Mario 74: Extreme Edition. However, due to the spawn of future kaizo hacks released at the time, Star Revenge 2: Night of Doom is no longer qualified as the most difficult Mario 64 ROM hack.
