A Super Mario ROM Hack aggregator/archive thing
Super Mario Starlight
It took a while, but it’s finally here!
Super Mario Starlight is a solo project that takes a unique spin on a traditional hack. The game has a hub world that lets you explore and find levels freely, but the stages themselves are linear, like a traditional Mario game. Think Peach’s Castle from 64 with about 20ish linear stages instead of open world stages. Yoshi Coins act as the main collectable. The more you collect, the more levels and areas of the hub world you will be able to access.
The hack features:
- 30 collectable Yoshi Coins (sorta equivalent to exits, to give a rough idea of length)
- Fun NPC interactions
- A new unique story
- A fully original soundtrack composed by me!!
- Secrets around every corner!
- Many more mysteries to uncover!
This game is a unique experience. I hope you’re willing to give it a shot, you won’t be disappointed!

-Music and Sounds-
The soundtrack was composed and ported by me, using the Kirby Superstar soundfont provided by Milon Luxy.
The exception to this is the title screen theme, which is a remix of "Cherry Tree Bridge" from Etrian Odyssey II. This was still arranged and ported by me.
The wind noise is Kirby's Dreamland 3's "Ominous Wind" track, provided by Nanako.
All ExGFX were made by me aside from what was provided with custom sprites. I also used bandicoot's SMM2 Forest assets.
Special thanks to Nic "ThirteenHertz" for helping compose a "Bowser's Theme" and "FIGHT!" in the OST, creating art for the game, and working on the story.
This hack would not have been possible without him.
Another special thanks to Thomas for coding the Yoshi Coin signs. The game lowkey would've sucked without them.
