Hey guys, I just have what I hope is a simple question...

I'm wanting to do a 'modified' version of SMW on SNES for a friend for his birthday, and I wanted to replace Mario with a new sprite that looks like him in the game. I've been doing some searching on the topic and couldn't find much to work with unfortunately. Is there a tool out there I can use to export, modify, and import the modified sprite back into the game? I realize its a bit more complicated than that, I've been messing around a bit with Lunar Magic, but I can't figure out how to do it with that, I think I may be just too 'green' for a program like that without any kind of tutorial or walk-through to show me how to use it properly. Is there something simple out there I can use to just change the Mario/Luigi sprites and put the modified ones back into the ROM? Its the only change I want to make to it - no level changes, physics, etc. Just the sprites.

You use Lunar Magic to extract the GFX files from the game and then use a tile editor like Tile Layer Pro or something to change Mario's sprites. Then just import the modified files back into the SMW ROM.
