Star Revenge 8: Scepter of Hope is a ROM Hack made by BroDute and is the final game in the Star Revenge series.
This hack is organized very differently from others, as it uses both an overworld hub and connected levels. Another unusual thing is the use of badges and caps in addition to the standard keys and stars to restrict levels. The badges, caps and keys are guarded by six bosses. Fortunately the hack comes with a map to make the worlds easier to navigate (see below).
Coins is this hack are replaced by cards, which act exactly the same.
There are a lot of Touhou references in this hack, including characters, pixel art and almost all of the music. BroDute even says that you can call it "Super Touhou 64".
Plot
BroDute and Timerock bring Mario back from death so he can collect stars which they will use to re-power the Scepter and remake the Earth. At the end of the game Mario must decide if BroDute or Timerock will get the power of the Scepter to recreate Earth... although there is also a secret third ending.
