Hacking I want to make a mario bros ds hack. Where do I start?

[Daniel72]

I want to make a 2d mario game based on mario odyssey, but I'm really new to this rom-hacking scene. I have no idea where to start. Which program should I use for modding, and how do I use it?




(Or maybe should I start on the wii version? I thought the ds version would be easier to hack, but if mario wii can be easily modded as well, I should mod that.)

This is the editor for the DS version, not that I have tried it - but I've seen decent hacks like "Springboard Power Mario": https://nsmbhd.net/download/

The community on the Wii version has probably been a bit bigger, yes, which may give you some advantage (probably offset by the inconvenience of testing the levels)
