Star Revenge 5: Neo Blue Realm is a ROM hack made by BroDute. Despite the title, it is actually a remake of Star Revenge 0.5 - Unused Levels.
There are three possible endings; a BroDute race, the Nightmare Factory, and an Eyerock fight. However, there are no end screens. Leaving the ending zone after each of these will result in a solid black screen until the game is reset.
This hack is then succeeded by Star Revenge 5.5: Destroyed Memories, its sequel and dark counterpart, released nearly two years later.
Plot/Lore[]
Star Revenge 5: Neo Blue Realm is set ten years after Mario's disappearance from the main timeline following Kedowser's defeat, during which Luigi had to step up and perform his role. Reverse Mario makes a sudden appearance at Castle Blaudia in the Blue Realm, much to the surprise of the Toads living there.
As explained by a Toad in the main lobby of the castle, in the years since Mario's disappearance some of the Toads moved to the Blue Realm and started working at Castle Blaudia. Supposedly, the kitchen in Peach's Castle required 75 Power Stars to enter, thus leading to at least one frustrated Toad moving to Castle Blaudia, where the kitchen requires only five Stars to enter. The Toads living in Castle Blaudia have one room they're allowed to sleep in, which is located on the second floor, where they all have to share one very long bed.
Talking to the Toads in the castle can reveal a significant amount of information. In a hidden chamber on the second floor, a Toad expresses pure befuddlement at Mario's presence, stating that the Mario it knew died a long time ago. It goes on to debate whether or not it has "found the right place" based on the number of Toads around. The Toad finishes by saying "What if they put me back into that pipe... no, I stay in here!". This seems to allude to this Toad's origin being that of the reverse timeline, and that the Toad is afraid of being sent back.
There are two iterations of BroDute present in this hack and working together- something which is only possible due to Timerock doing something. The Toad on the third floor that explains this also states that "he" (later confirmed to be Timerock) built a park somewhere in the Mushroom Kingdom and that he is trying to bring someone back to life.
The BroDute that is encountered in many of the areas and courses is Future BroDute, who is presumably the same BroDute that can be found in Missingno's Park. Talking to him will have him explain that in the ten years since Kedowser's defeat, he had been "wasting his time" trying to figure out how to enter parallel universes. Despite still being in the testing phase, he offers for Mario to try entering one of the reverse pipes dotted around that will warp him to the parallel universe.
The other BroDute, who has his own room up on the third floor, can be found near the starting point in the V A P O R S P A C E course behind the 30 Star door. Also on the third floor is a Star-shaped gateway, which later reveals itself to be a portal back to the Mushroom Kingdom.
