Super Mario Apocalypse is a ROM Hack made by Loudermonkeyboy. It was released in December 15, 2018 and contains 92 stars.
Plot
The story involves the Mushroom Kingdom collapsing in wreckage after Mario died against Bowser in their storming battle. Eventually, Bowser ruled over the kingdom with no one getting in the way to stop his evil tyranny.
Meanwhile, somewhere in a cemetary, a ghost rising from Mario's tomb is seeking revenge and tries to foil Bowser's plan once again.
Will Mario, despite his lifeless form, be able to bring back the Mushroom Kingdom in peace?

Secret Levels
| Name | Stars | Coins | Stars Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| The Destroyed Switch Facility | 1 | 0 | 0 | This level is the game introduction, which includes all 3 cap switches. |
| Big House in the Sky | 2 | 57 | 0 | According to the sign, there is a hidden 3rd star which is technically not in the level but from another course. |
| Megamix Galaxy | 1 | 196 | 40 | 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 | 1 | 200 | 0 | 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 layout is based on "Mario Meets Mario" in the same style. |
| The Hall of the Stars | 6 | 50 | Can be entered from Virtual Surreality. | |
| Bowser's Secret Rave | 1 | 148 | 30 | The first Bowser course. |
| Bowser's Supermax Prison | 1 | 50 | 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 | 1 | 2 | 55 | 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 done after that. |
| The Grand Finale | 1 | 200 | 91 | 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 layouts and styles of the castle grounds stage from Super Mario 64. |
| The Breach | 1 | 0 | 90 (for the red crystal door) | This level acts as a crossroad bridge between the 3 overworlds, the Grand Finale and later after the final Bowser fight. The latter takes to a room where you can choose the blue crystal door to either unlock the cannon in the Great Maze or unlock the red crystal door after collecting all 90 stars. |
