ScarlettVixen stated, "It's been an extremely long project, but after 12 years, it's finally here. Many of this game's elements are iterations and polishes on concepts found in prior projects. Mario Adventure 3 is more than a 12-year project, it's a 20-year amalgamation of ideas waiting to see fruition."
The hack includes a variety of features, such as a day-and-night cycle, weather effects, an item shop, and exploration-heavy mechanics. Players can traverse and backtrack through worlds without cutscenes, a concept introduced in Luigi's Coin Quest.
ScarlettVixen shared in an SMW Central forum post that "roughly 75% of the game has been rewritten from the ground up." New power-ups, like the Ninja Mushroom that allows wall-jumping, and a revamped item system are also introduced.
The game's plot centers on the Malice Mushrooms invading Bowser's Kingdom, with Bowser blaming Princess Peach's kingdom for the infestation. Mario must clear the Malice to prevent a war between the kingdoms.
