Yeah, hopefully in a few years I'll get my own computer and make some of the best hacks ever (I would still be fine if someone used this idea, I've got tons and tons of hack ideas to spare)

I found a topic for a SSB idea on SMWcentral, but the topic was five years old, so I guess that ain't happening.

Also, I had another idea. Mario Maker NES (or SNES). It would have the tools to make new levels in SMB or SMB3 styles, no SMB2U because that's almost not a Mario game. You could do things that don't normally happen in Mario games, like place enemies inside question boxes, or make pipes and cannons dispense power-ups, and there would be new items and enemies too. You could make different types of levels, like easy levels, kaizo levels, or boss rush levels too. you could even do something like recreate Metroid in a Mario map using pipes and such, and there would be settings where you can't lose power-ups, but you could still die from getting hit too many times. And there would be a thread on a forum where people could share their save files so you can play their levels on an emulator. This might be too advanced for an NES, but I bet an SNES could pull this off.

I had another idea for a hack, NES Remix, for the NES. The game would be just like NES Remix for the Wii-U, with all the tiny segments from the games that you can play seperately, and possibly different modes, like all-boss mode, where the game makes you fight random bosses from the games, or a random mode, like WarioWare, but with NES games. I guess that an NES wouldn't be able to pull this off though, but I feel like it would be a cool hack if it could be made, especially if you want to play a certain part of a game, or fight a certain boss, but don't really want to play the game up to that point.

Another, even more insane idea I had just a minute ago combines my Super Mario Crossover idea with NES remix. In NES Remix for the Wii-U, there are certain parts where you can play as characters in games they aren't normally in, like playing as Kirby in a Super Mario Bros. styled level. This led me to have an insane idea.

I call this idea the NES Crossover Pack. The game would have four games: Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros 3, Metroid, and Kirby's Adventure. There would be four playable characters for each game: Mario, Samus, Kirby, and Link. you could play Metroid as Kirby, Super Mario Bros. 3 as Link, and so on.

Power-ups in each game would behave differently for each character. For example, getting the Morph Ball in Metroid as Kirby would give him the Wheel power, which would get put in an inventory screen so you could access it at any time, or killing enemies in Kirby's Adventure as Mario would drop power-ups like ice flowers and such.

If this is possible, this would take a MONUMENTAL amount of time, effort, and skill to make, but I just thought it would be cool to put this idea here.

____________________

To be honest, the NES crossover pack idea isn't meant to be like SSB, although I would like to make an SSB hack in the future. the idea is just to make certain games playable as characters from other games, like playing as Kirby in Super Mario Bros. 3.

Also, another idea, one I have dibs on, just in case. I'm making a Mega Man hack that has Samus as the main character. So I thought, "How come Mega Man only uses the powers of the Robot Masters? What if the game had more temporary weapons like Kirby?". Then I had an idea for the Scan ability. Basically, the ability is that Mega Man scans an enemy in front of him, and can use their power for a bit, possibly until a timer or the ammo runs out.

For example, scanning a Mettaur would give 2x defense for, say, thirty seconds, and scanning a Robot Master would let you use their power against them, like gaining the Quick Boomerang temporarily while fighting Quick Man. Of course, the normal powers would still be permanent upgrades.

To be honest, I'm treating ROM-hacking the way I treat playing The Legend of Zelda. This tablet is my crappy little wooden sword, but once I get good at using it, I'll hopefully get a PC, which is like the Golden Master Sword of ROM-hacking.

I think of it like this: Nintendo and Capcom probably made these games using something with less processing power than an Android tablet, so compared to them, I've got it bad.

I do agree I probably need a team, I'm still mostly in the concept phase right now, as well as getting acustomed to using my utilities. I'm also going to learn ASM, which will really make up for having limited equipment. And yeah, I'm a total nerd, which might help in my ROM-hacking endeavors

Also, just 'cause this is an idea thread, and I'm filled to the brim with ideas, here's one: I want a Sonic the Hedgehog hack where when Sonic runs into a loop, instead of seeing him go upside-down, the whole freakin' level spins upside-down. It could make for some truly mind-bending Sonic levels. it probably could be pulled off if a copy of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was ported to the 32X or Sega CD.
