But because of the magic a evil spirit awakened on the crown and took over Bowser's and Peach mind making them go crazy.
Help Mario to return to the mushroom kingdom and save the day once again.

To achieve the second ending you just gotta beat the special world
I sugest downloading the updated version because I updated the endings cutscenes.

BTW I already finished the game except the special levels but I already unlocked the special world

What a wonderful hack ! 10 worlds of pure fun =]

Graphics are awesome, and so are the overworld and the new enemies ! The scenario is clever with unexpected events.

The auto save feature is very appreciated, and so is the recording of Dragon Coins and the reward for completionists ! Awesome =]

Difficulty is all right, not too hard but getting significantly harder in last world.

10/10 (5 stars) Thank you for this wonderful work =]

did you use Floating IPS or Flips to patch the SMW Rom? using any other patcher beside Flips may cause the patch bug

edit 6/13 - at long last this new version of the hack is finally accepted

17/04/2020 Observação Versão Brasileira:
Havia um sublevel que leva a localização da lua faltando na fase 6-5 na versão brasileira no momento de envio dessa atualização, isso ja foi consertado agora, se voce não consegue pegar essa lua baixe a hack novamente por aqui mesmo para ter acesso a ela.

@kamekku14 I have tested that,It really dont work when Its 2 players on the same controller, but its fine when its on separate controllers.
I dont know what could be the cause of that.

@Spyder121 - Ooops não tinha visto esse erro, pra ser sincero eu quase não uso essa palavra e nem percebi o erro, obrigado por apontar.
Recomendo usar a versão atualizada que esta em moderação, espero que divirta-se com a hack.
Spyder121 From older version: SMW The Crown Tale Link
There is a grammatical error in the first speech of Toadette of the PT-BR version of the hack, because when she starts the conversation with Mario for the first time in the village of yoshi there is the word "inpersonar", being that its correct form of writing in the language Portuguese is "impersonar". I am not an expert on the grammatical rules of such a complex language, but I believe that the synonym "personificar" is more appropriate and understandable in this text. I didn't start playing his hack, but I liked seeing that it has a version in PT-BR. I can't wait to get some time to start the game and check out this story created and translated into my native language that promises a little comedy and reference to memes, a type of narrative that I hadn't explored before.
Mysterik From older version: SMW The Crown Tale Link
Thank you bandicoot and one more time i love your game and i hope to see more from you!
bandicoot Author From older version: SMW The Crown Tale Link
@Mysterik - The DDA system changes some coin blocks into powerup blocks if you have 5 lives or less, its to help the player to beat the level if it is too dificult for them, there's one between the beggining of the level and the midway point and one between the midway point and the goal, if the player have less than 3 lives a second one will apear too.
This is why I dont recomend the use of save states to stock lives and the reason the gameovers have been trivialized since you return in the same level if you get one.
Mysterik From older version: SMW The Crown Tale Link
Hi bandicoot,
I do the first world and i really like the game,
i just need to know what DDA system change and with how many lives that change ??
Thank you for the great game and keep the good work i give you 5 stars!

@Koopster - Thanks for the feedback, I released a update just yesterday regarding exactly the dialogues of the hack.
The transphobia thing you comented, it was really not my intention to hurt or offense people for their choices, the intent of the hack was to make fun of the Bowsette meme not people, Im sorry if this hack dialogues hurted someone, I just kinda didnt know how to describe the words in some areas, especially in the portuguese version.
Thats why I decided to update the hack and remove certain words(while still keeping the plot), and also to make the game a bit less "vulgar" since it could potentially cause problems for letsplayers on some streaming platforms like Facebook.

Also, the lack of ponctuation I consider it a flaw in pretty much every hack I made so far, since I still have a lot to improve on English and also for the fact that SMW dont suport accents and other ponctuations used in portuguese.

Thanks for the understanding and the feedback you gave, I hope I can still improve in the future if I do another hack someday..

@Toad64- Yes you can, I used my old save files and the save file from the savebase section to playtest this.

Note: I'm on Bowsette's stage right now

This is not the hack for you if you're looking for something different from the usual. Here you'll see most of the gimmicks you see in every hack of this kind nowadays, being executed mostly in the very same ways. That bunch includes some very questionable ones, of which I only saw the darkness gimmick in this particular game. I'm thankful for no mine cart or windy stage so far.

For my very picky taste, this is a pretty unpolished hack. It has a ton of minor glitches and a couple more degrading ones. To name one of the worst ones, I was very unpleased by the treatment of the enemy-hittable ON/OFF switch blocks in a few stages. Some segments use them with the intent of creating consistently timed segments, but at some points the enemy will just no longer be on screen and a switch will not get hit, or a different enemy might still be on screen, hitting the switch when you don't expect it and throwing off the timing. I died a couple times to these - you should really be testing and polishing your stages more to not let stuff like that happen.
We also do have the presence of a couple of these shoddily coded or otherwise just poorly thought out sprites in our section. The goomba stack in one of the first worlds is one example I can think of off the top of my head.

The plot is not great, but I don't really expect novels in hacks, so that's fine. I played in Portuguese, and it could definitely use accents and some proofreading at the very least. Some bits in it wanted to ring a transphobia bell on me, but I know this was not your intention.
All the bosses are pretty garbage. I don't know why people insist in having effortless going-back-and-forth bosses in their games. Even to fill up plot points, they're so anticlimatic, and when they're not just boring they're actually really annoying. Bowsette is awful (I haven't beaten her yet), and I think you understand that judging by the amount of powerups you make available in the battlefield.

As for the design of the stages, as I said before, there's really nothing new or thrilling about it. This is not a hack that mixes ideas together and tries to do something new, but that is fine for providing a rompy experience. I don't think you handled the higher difficulties so well though - you became way too generous with powerups in the late game, going as far as giving 3 in a row in a few instances, almost completely trivializing the challenge of the final stages (with a few exceptions).

I also want to comment on the soundtrack. Definitely quantity over quality here. I don't mind listening to a good track in 3 or 4 stages throughout the game - in fact, that is what platformers at the time of SMW did - rather than having a variety of songs of which most are just okay. Also, you don't absolutely need to have a different music for bonus rooms. You cut nice jams with mediocre or even unfitting bonus songs a lot of times. I think it would add to the atmosphere if you didn't do that.

I suppose these are all my thoughts, not having played the special world. I might in the near future, as I collected all items required in every level. You balanced these pretty well. Being a completionist in this game was actually pretty fun.

Update v1.1 03/27/2020

- Improved dialogues in the Brazilian portuguese and some of the English version to make the game less "vulgar"
- Added 11 new moons to find, the game now features 36 moons in total
7 of them require the player to beat the new rhythm block challenge rooms to get them, others are hidden thorugh switch palaces sections or secret locations.
- The hack now features autosaving whenever the player beat a level or collect the moon/dragon coins of a level and wont ask to save, you can still save manually by pressing select, however its not needed anymore.
- New songs
- Spike throws his spike balls slower
- Bowsette's flames are fast on both directions during the final battle
- Some level design improvements and fixes here and there.

Atualização v1.1 27/03/2020

- Dialogos melhorados em diversas cutscenes do jogo, removendo algumas palavras que podem ser consideradas "vulgares".
- Adicionadas 11 novas luas, totalizando 36 no jogo todo.
7 delas estão escondidas em salas onde Mario deve passar por desafios com blocos ritmicos para alcança-las, outras requerem o uso de switch palaces ou partes secretas nas fases
- A hack agora conta com autosave, salvando o progresso do jogador a cada fase completada ou a cada dragoncoin/lua obtida, o jogo não pedira mais pra salvar porem voce ainda pode salvar manualmente apertando SELECT, porem não é mais necessario
- Novas musicas
- Spike joga suas bolas de espinho um pouquinho mais devagar
- As chamas da Bowsette são rapidas em ambas as direções durante a batalha final

Completion: 100% exits, 100% Dragon coins, 100% Moons
Time spent: 10h 30m
Overall opinion: I had fun, but should have just skipped the cutscenes.

I know Mac isn’t the best for playing rom hacks but the only thing blocking me from playing is that I can't open the zip file because of an "invalid arguement." I was wondering if you knew of a way where I could just obtain the bps file.

SomeGuy712x From older version: SMW The Crown Tale Link
I'm currently co-op playing through this hack with someone, and we found a problem in Sky Stone Temple in world 5. One of the arrow blocks you have to ride seems to be actually two overlapping arrow blocks (maybe you double-pasted them by accident there), and this always shoves Mario off the ride side of them unless the player repeatedly jumps, but it's really tricky to get through the hazards up ahead this way.

However, the arrow blocks tend to separate after being shoved off of them, so if the player can land on something solid or survive the pit damage when that happens, it's possible to continue along normally with just one of the arrow blocks.

I figured this problem was worth mentioning here immediately when we encountered it.

EDIT: Another thing I guess I should mention is that many of the single coin ? blocks throughout the hack are weird, in that you can't cape-spin them or hit them with a shell for some reason.

They dont interact with the Player cape spin because I didnt know how to code that in Blockreator.


Ah, that makes sense. I'm enjoying this quite a bit, will comment again once I get further.

There are quite a few yellow blocks in this that don't react to the cape spin, but are able to be opened from below with a jump, not sure what causes this, but annoying.

In the graphics section it only mentions Moltz as the author, also I took some of Peach graphics from his hack Smw Bowsette's Edition too in romhacking.net
But if this other guy is also involved with the graphics creation I will include him too.

Also, don't forget to give credit to ayyk92 'cause that's the guy who made Bowsette.

I haven't gotten very far yet, but am loving what I've seen so far. Level design in this is fantastic, but there are small bugs here and there. I noticed that the apples on the first two bushes in Lotus Rainy Woods aren't possible to eat. I'll post more as I progress.

Great hack, also very nice to have a new hack that is this many exits as opposed to the many re-releases these days. Great job!
