Star Revenge 1: Star Takeover (formerly Star Revenge 1) is a ROM Hack made by BroDute and first released with 100 stars on September 3rd, 2012. A major update of this hack was released on August 25th, 2018 which added the "Star Takeover" episode title and raised the star count to 101.
A substantial remake of Star Revenge 1, Star Revenge Redone, was released on February 10th, 2013. Star Revenge Redone was then the basis for Star Revenge 1.5: Star Takeover Redone, first released as Star Revenge Redone 2.0 on August 14th, 2015.
Description[]
As described by the Credit text file that the creator included with the Star Revenge 1 ROM:
"(Star Revenge 1) Contains over 100 stars, around 20 new areas excluding the Bowser battle areas, new custom music , new storyline, a big amount of Mario-style humor, variety and a big range of difficulty."
As the description says, this hack provides another new adventure for Mario. Most of the main 15 courses and all of the side levels have been redesigned for a new challenge. With this comes imported music from a wide assortment of games. Each track is usually exclusive to one stage/area. The hack's plot focuses on Starenemies, which are normal enemies that look like blue stars. Other than that, the plot is very loose and not really explained. As implied by the dialogue with the various Bowser fights in both games, these blue stars are hypnotizing Bowser to kill Mario for an unexplained reason (in Star Revenge 1.5: Star Takeover Redone, this is confirmed).
This game does contain copious amounts of humor, most of which is related to various internet memes or swearing. The difficulty has definitely been increased compared to the original.
