Hack description

Super Royal Pals. 3 is a "What If" hack. What if Nintendo decided to make the ladies of
the Mushroom Kingdom the stars of the story. This time taking place across 8 worlds outside of the Mushroom Kingdom. Based on Southbird's Disassembly.

The following changes were made:

V1.2 - Fix M/L in battle mode and corrupt "WELCOME TO WARP ZONE" border.

V1.1 - There is new border art around the PEACH/DAISY start information window. The window now also says PEACH/DAISY.

Replaced all character graphics with new graphics based on redrawn Princess Peach
Graphics used in the "Princess Sidestory - Royal Flush" hack.

Removed lives and replaced it with a death counter.

Removed Score [Score Events can still trigger.]

1-UPs now reduce the death counter.

Hold the UP BUTTON before shooting a fireball to fire the projectile upward.

Press the SELECT BUTTON after collecting the end of level card to skip the animation.

Adjusted suit physics, added slide down hills to all suits, removed spin when you have a star.

3 End Level cards will grant you a power-up instead of lives.

Frog Suit is now a Blooper Suit.

Redrew the 2x Sprites in Big/Small World.

Updated a few map tiles.

Removed the full screen flashing on Bowser's letter, moved it to the border colors.

Peach will save Mario and Daisy will save Luigi.

Replaced the Roulette Game with the Card Matching Game.

Nothing More Than a Fresh Coat of Paint	Dippy-Dawg	2023-12-01	Version 1.2
I just got done playing this hack, and everything, when it comes to the Worlds and Levels, to be completely identical to the original. The only changes had to do with the way you collect items and having a death counter instead of getting lives and losing them upon death. That's it. Well, besides the fact you are playing with Peach and Daisy. Same game, fresh coat of paint. A definite NO from me.

This hack has made Super Royal Pals. be my favorite series.	Vallenatero2015	2022-08-14	Version 1.2
Apart from the appearance of Peach and Daisy and the elimination of the life count and accumulated score system, the first mentioned item is also replaced by the counter of times Peach or Daisy die in the attempt in a certain level. Thank you QUXNLADY. Your hack really made me fall in love even more with what is already my favorite saga: Super Royal Pals.

Casual fun	leszy	2021-02-09	Version 1.2
This is obviously not the first hack to invert the perennial damsel in distress trope of Mario games but if something's worth doing it's worth doing it repeatedly. Some related tropes are left intact like the women being princesses in dresses with little crowns which doesn't seem ideal for what they are doing, while the men's attire shows them to be working class, but let's just say that the hack is lore-friendly in this aspect. Anyway, the new sprites are nicely drawn, and the animations all look good. The gameplay changes are relatively small but I find all of them positive. The one with the most impact is the removal of lives (personally I'd prefer to even remove the death counter) and as a result of a Game Over. If you are playing for the challenge then this might not be what you want. But I don't see how having to start from the beginning again adds anything to a game. The hack is also much more generous with items so you can start pretty much every stage with one if you so desire. This all allows for nice casual playing which for me improves the experience. Being able shoot upward is neat, too.
