Star Revenge 7: Park of Time is a ROM hack made by BroDute. It was released December 2014 and contains 120 Stars. This is the 7th main game in the Star Revenge series. Like all of the other hacks before, the coins and Stars are slightly different colors compared to the original.
Also like the original, every stage and overworld has new custom music and interesting gimmicks. This also introduces badges for the first time, which are explained below. Just like the rest of the series created by BroDute, there are a ton of references to media outside of the Mario series as well as various memes.
The sequel, Star Revenge 7.5: Kedowser's Return, was created the following year, which reused the same gameplay assets than as its predecessor.
Story[]
Mario enters a strange park set up by Timerock. He losses some moves which get sealed into badges hidden across the park, which some new ones as well.
Gameplay Mechanics[]
Badges[]
This hack has Badges which unlock Mario's abilities, instead of having them all from the Start. This means that Mario's basic abilities like the triple jump or wall kick is gone for most of the game. There are also other badges which give him new abilities. These badges are hidden in different courses. The badges are:
An example of a badge
- Wall Jump (WB) (shown in the image.)
- Triple Jump (TB)
- Super Stomp (SB)
- Ultra Stomp (UB)
- Lava Defense 1
Note: You still can ground pound without the stomp badges, but with the "Super Stomp" you can break the stone blocks and with the "Ultra Stomp", the blue metal boxes. Lava defense causes lava to exhibit less damage upon contact, and every badge is required in order to collect a Star.
Switches[]
The Cap switches in this hack are a bit different, instead of unlocking special cap blocks, it unlocks blocks that can warp you to Course 14 - where the end of the hack is located, but you need to unlock them all to be able to do that. In the original version of the game, the switches were all invisible, excluding their bases. In v1.1, the second switch is green, even though it's billed as a yellow switch. They are the reward for completing bosses, as doors to different overworlds aren't locked by Star count.

Theory[]
A normal yellow coin
Low% Completion[]
A Red Coin
It is possible to jump-kick up the slope at the Start, this can give enough height to be able to slide then jump to the platform where Castle Wakati is. From there only a walljump badge is needed to reach Timerock and finish the game (to get to the location of the walljump badge, one needs either Super Stomp Badge or Ultra Stomp Badge).
Funila (aka Mese_Insanity) recorded an example of a 2 Star non-TAS route and published it on his Youtube channel. The first Star is used to get to the entrance of Castle Wakati's tower, and the second is from Timerock to get to The Void of the Limbo The wallkick badge is needed in this route and since you need either of the stomp badges to get the wallkick badge, one of these are also needed.

Trivia[]
- You can still wallkick even if you don't have the Wall Jump badge (WB) by doing a dive on the same frame as your wallkick; this glitch is called a "firsty dive". This makes it possible to get some Stars where the badge is needed, for example the "Over the Railroad" Star in Course 1.
- The badge system is taken directly from the Paper Mario series
- In Paper Mario, you can equip badges to use new attacks or abilities while in combat (though few had other purposes)
- Assets for the badges and the blocks are also directly from the Paper Mario series
- Though in this series, they were never required to progress as to break different blocks, upgrades to your hammer or shoes are given as passive abilities and not badges.
- In Paper Mario, you can equip badges to use new attacks or abilities while in combat (though few had other purposes)
