Now that is one Fat Princess!
Fearing for Mario's safety and unable to return to her castle, Peach gathers up all her courage, and sets out to save Mario!
Pop-up message in Sunshine Plains-1.

A full Super Mario World ROM hack released by BWGLite in 2020, Super Mario Bros. Peach's Adventure stars everybody's favourite damsel-in-distress, Princess Peach, in a similar vein to Super Princess Peach.

The Mushroom Kingdom is (once again) attacked by King Koopa and his Koopa Troop. During the attack, Peach is sent flying far from her castle as her Mushroom Retainers try to defend her. She wakes up in Toad's house, who brought her in when he found her unconscious, and storms off to get back to her castle, only to find that it has been taken over by King Koopa himself. Not only that, but Mario has been kidnapped as well, forcing the princess to take matters into her own hands.

The most recent update of this hack is v1.1, and the patch for it can be downloaded here.

The hack provides examples of:

  • Adaptational Curves: Peach is significantly wider and more buxom in this hack when in the official media she is on thinner side. The same goes for Rosalina.
  • Advancing Wall of Doom: Mushroom Kingdom-2, King Bill Crossing. Two King Bills chase Peach throughout the level, and touching them is a One-Hit Kill. The last part of the level has them flying at high speed and gradually catching up, meaning you have to keep running to survive.
  • Alliterative Title: Some of the world and level names, such as Tasty Trail's Cookie Canyon and Mushroom Kingdom's Treacherous Treads.
  • All the Worlds Are a Stage: The final level of Lunar Lair has Peach going through Bowser's starship, broken up by several sectors. Each sector takes various gimmicks from all the previous worlds corresponding to their number.
  • An Ice Person: The Ice Flower appears in this hack, giving Peach ice powers that allows her to freeze enemies and turn them into coins.
  • Asteroids Monster: Just like in his source game, Fryguy splits into four flames after being hit enough times.
  • Astral Finale: World 8, Lunar Lair, takes place on the moon. This is where the final showdown with King Koopa occurs.
  • Auto-Scrolling Level: The airship and tank levels are commonly this.
  • Bar Brawl: The boss fight in Koopa Industries-4 takes place at the Tanooki Tavern, with Goombas wearing bandannas throwing bottles at Princess Peach as she fights Buff Blue Boom Boom.
  • Battle Boomerang: The Boomerang Flower grants Peach the ability to toss boomerangs, which can defeat almost any enemy.
  • Big Boo's Haunt: A few levels take place in a haunted area where Boos are the main enemies to face. Such as the Tanooki Tavern in Koopa Industries-4.
  • Bland-Name Product: Tasty Trails-5, Cola Cavern has bottles that are labeled Kola and Beps instead of Coca Cola and Pepsi.
  • The Cameo: Wario, Waluigi, Boshi, Broque Monsieur, Captain Toad, Rosalina, Donkey Kong and even Sonic the Hedgehog appear throughout the hack as cameos.
  • Eternal Engine: World 6, Koopa Industries. It's a polluted industrial area filled with hazards such as tar pools and flaming exhausts.
  • Evil Knockoff: Metal Mario, who is fought in Bowser's starship at the end of the hack after sectors 1-4 have been compromised.
  • Giant Mook: Big Boo appears in a select few levels, and (fittingly) is the boss of Giant Jungle.
  • Green Hill Zone: World 1, Sunshine Plains. The Trope Namer itself also appears in the secret level Tasty Trail-A.
  • Jungle Japes: World 5, Giant Jungle.
  • King Mook: King Thwomp, the boss of Thwomp Ruins.
  • Lethal Lava Land: World 7, Mushroom Kingdom, due to it being taken over by King Koopa. It is also a Disc-One Final Dungeon, as King Koopa escapes with Mario to the moon and leaves Junior to fight Peach.
  • Level Ate: World 4, Tasty Trail. Each level is themed around either food, beverages or cooking appliances.
  • MacGuffin: A Power Star appears in Buoy Base Galaxy, being kept as a lock for King Koopa's starship. Peach needs to grab it in order to advance.
  • Minecart Madness: Frigid Peak-5, Glossy Gold Mine.
  • Nostalgia Level: World 1-1 from Super Mario Bros. is partially recreated in Mushroom Kingdom-1. Finishing Special Crown also allows the player to play recreations of various levels from classic Mario games.
  • Playing with Fire: The ubiquitous Fire Flower makes Peach shoot fireballs. Fryguy, the boss of Koopa Industries, also counts due to being an Evil Living Flame.
  • Post-End Game Content: After finishing the main story, the ninth world, Special Crown becomes accessible. Beating all the levels grants access to Peach's Castle from Sunshine Plains-1.
  • Princess Protagonist: Princess Peach, naturally.
  • Punny Name: Slie Pnote , the narcoleptic owner of Slie P's Shop and Inn found in Frigid Peak.
  • Recycled Soundtrack: The game reuses various tracks from Super Mario All-Stars, though some tracks are pulled from other games.
  • Recurring Boss: Boom Boom is fought three times throughout the hack: at the end of Sunshine Plains, at the first level in Mushroom Kingdom, and in the fourth level of Lunar Lair.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: The Goombas in Koopa Industries have red eyes, possibly as a result of the pollution going on there.
  • Retraux: The graphical style is very NES-like, making it resemble Super Mario Bros. 1 instead of Super Mario World.
  • Ruins for Ruins' Sake: World 2, Thwomp Ruins.
  • Sadistic Game Show: Mushroom Kingdom-4 has this as a bonus room: Pick a Pipe, where players must choose a pipe that may lead them to either the prize or something bad. All pipes lead to the prize, and its revealed by the host, Scott Warpley, that the stated danger is just a way to keep players on their toes.
  • Slippy-Slidey Ice World: World 3, Frigid Peak. Frictionless Ice is at play here.
  • Sunglasses at Night: A variation: the Koopa Troopas in Koopa Industries, which is a dimly-lit world due to it being polluted, wear shades.
  • Trapped in Another World: Luigi was sent to Green Hill Zone by the Magikoopas when he tried to rescue Mario.
  • Video Game Flight: The Raccoon Leaf allows Peach to glide by repeatedly mashing the jump button, as well as fly in the air for a limited amount of time after doing a running start.
  • Villainous Breakdown: To say Bowser isn't too pleased with Peach managing to follow him to the moon, nabbing the Power Star from Buoy Base needed to enter his starship, getting through all of his minions and defenses, which include Metal Mario would be a massive understatement.
