After Mario defeated Bowser in the battle that concluded the events of Super Mario Star Road, peace returned to the Mushroom Kingdom, and all of Bowser's troops were cast away using the power of the stars. The Star Spirits agreed to express their gratitude towards Mario for saving their kingdom by sending a Green Comet to fly over the Star Leap Tower. The comet has dropped green stars all over the different worlds, and Mario must now go back and explore the locations of Star Road again to beat a variety of new challenges.

Super Mario Star Road: The Green Comet is a hack made by biobak. It was released in January 2021, and is based on Super Mario Star Road. It follows Super Mario Galaxy 2's concept of Green Stars, which are placed in tricky locations in already existing levels.

The hack contains 150 stars, of which 15 can only be accessed after the other 135 have been collected. They replace Star Road's golden stars, are placed in different locations, and are often harder to reach. Enemies and bosses have been removed from levels, and there are a lot more NPCs than in the base game. These NPCs give tips to the player or contribute to the game's lore.

All of the game's levels can be accessed right from the start, as doors no longer require stars or keys.

When the 135 first stars have been collected, green coins will appear in every main course, allowing access to the final 15 stars and the true ending of the game.

The game has no life counter, since the player has infinite lives. 1-UP mushrooms are replaced by Comet Medals.
