Super Mario Apocalypse is a ROM hack made by Loudermonkeyboy. It was released in December 2018 and contains 92 Stars.

In December 2021, a full remake of the same name, created by Mariocrash, has been released 3 years later prior to this game.

Plot[]

The plot involves the Mushroom Kingdom collapsing in ruins after Mario died while fighting against Bowser in their ultimate battle. Eventually, Bowser ruled over the kingdom with no one able to stop his evil tyranny.

Meanwhile, a ghost that rises from Mario's tomb is seeking revenge and tries to foil Bowser's plan once more.

Will Mario, despite his lifeless form, be able to bring peace back in the Mushroom Kingdom?

Name Stars Coins Requirement Notes
The Town Remains 7 169 1 Star Can be only entered after collecting the Star in the "Destroyed Switch Facility" stage.
Land of the Past 149 5 Stars

It also has a secret entrance in the first overworld only reserved for Star 6. Megamix Galaxy is inside this course.
Snow-Swept Station 7 218 Key 1 According to the sign, this course is supposed to be Course 4 as Endless Sky was swapped with it. Star 6 is mission-specific, requiring to enter from an alternate entrance.

Secret Levels[]

Name Stars Coins Requirement Notes
The Destroyed Switch Facility 1 0 This level is the game introduction, which includes all 3 cap switches.
Big House in the Sky 2 57 According to the sign, there is a hidden 3rd Star which is technically not in the level but from another course.
Bowser's Secret Rave 1 148 30 Stars The first Bowser course.
Megamix Galaxy 196 40 Stars Can be entered from Endless Sky. The hidden course "Remixed Purple Coins" is inside this course. Also has a secret passageway to a Star in Snow-Swept Station.
Remixed Purple Coins 200 Can be entered from Megamix Galaxy. This level is based on the mission "Luigi's Purple Coins" in Toy Time Galaxy from Super Mario Galaxy, although the overall design is based on "Mario Meets Mario" in the same style.
The Hall of the Stars 6 50 Stars Can be entered from Virtual Surreality.
Bowser's Supermax Prison 1 50 The second Bowser course. To reach the boss, it is needed to collect all 5 keys scattered throughout the level and get the Star.
The Dark Obelisk 2 55 Stars The third Bowser course. This level has 2 paths: the first leading straight to Bowser; the other to the most hardest Star ever made. However, it is been said that upon engaging Bowser in battle causes the game sound to glitch until a reset is executed.
The Breach 1 90 Stars (red crystal only) This level plays as the crossroads between the 3 overworlds, the Grand Finale and later after the final Bowser fight. The latter takes to a room where you can pick the blue crystal door to unlock the cannon in the Great Maze, whereas the red crystal door is only unlockable after collecting all 90 Stars.
The Grand Finale 200 91 Stars The final course of the game, only after collecting all 91 Stars. It is based on the mission "The Star Festival" in Super Mario Galaxy, within the layouts of the castle grounds area from Super Mario 64.

Trivia[]

  • There is technically a 93rd Star unintentionally hidden by mistake in the Great Maze and this is the collectable 100 coins scattered in the Town section. It can be used as a substitute to replace the Dark Obelisk Star due to his high-level difficulty.
  • This game has multiple skips and sequence breaks; notably one secret warp that takes to the Bowser fight and eventually the Great Maze from the early beginning.
  • The remake was created after the technical issues made from the boss fights and the final boss. Things can be also said about the Great Maze and Bowser levels being obnoxious with their designs and navigation.
