What kind of ROM Hack?

I want to make a romhack with basically the same relation to kirby squeak squad that grandpooworld has to super mario world

Going to need more context than that.

Broadly speaking

Text editing

Graphics editing.

Level editing

Music/audio editing

Gameplay editing (starting with cheats and working on up through recoding the game).

There is some overlap but depending upon what you want to do there are better places to start

There is not much already done with Kirby DS games for whatever reason (Super Mario is fairly well hacked in its various guises) so you might be facing a bit of an uphill if you are coming into this completely cold.
