Romhack by GMD.
There are 120 stars in this large romhack.
Slight warning that the credits course will be very laggy.
Known issues/inconsistencies:
Courses 9 and 12 are a bit fuzzy since there’s an issue with fog.
There are no actors since for some reason they didn’t want to work.
The first bowser fight has a starting textbox, which isn’t in the original hack.
Course 15 has a star select screen, which isn’t in the original hack.
There is no gate preventing Bowser 2 from being killed without going through the whole stage.
The hack has aglab camera; this port doesn’t.
Despair Mario's Gambit Update Romhack created by GMD Category: Romhack Overall improved experience: Now uses custom skyboxes Changed camera mode from 8 directional to romhack Stars now spawn in precisely the correct place (ignoring off-by-1 error)Added preview blue coins Course 15 no longer has an act selector Loading times should overall improve
Despair Mario's Gambit Quick update...literally (made loading a bit faster by not having unnecessary files)Also small changes Category: Romhack Making this update now because I've seen more people host this hack.

Despair Mario's Gambit update
- Bowser 1 fight no longer shows the cutscene
- Bowser fight entry cutscenes are disabled in this hack normally, but disabling it also removes the textbox. The bowser 1 fight was not supposed to have a textbox, so this is fine, but the bowser 2 fight does.
- Fixed bowser 2 fight script errors
- Bowser no longer moves in the bowser 2 fight
- This is in the original romhack
- In bowser 2 fight, there is now a metal box that blocks bowser's tail. This box can only be removed by usage of the switch at the top of the level. Before this, you could skip that entire climb since the gate couldn't block the throw.
- The floor below the bomb in the bowser 2 fight now exists.
