Ponyo in Super Mario World Hack Request

I have a request for any of you SMW hackers out there, my request of a hack is "Ponyo in Super Mario World". If you don't know what Ponyo is, I'll tell you.

WARNING: SPOILER ALERT if you haven't heard of it!!!
LEAVE NOW if you never heard of it!!!

Ponyo is a character from the 2008 Japanese anime film called "Ponyo on a Cliff by the Sea (崖の上のポニョ)" released by Studio Ghibli.
The movie is kinda like the 1989 Disney film "The Little Mermaid", except it's not a love story, it's about friendship.
Speaking of Disney, they made the English dub of the film in 2009.
The reason why Ponyo on a Cliff by the Sea was popular at the time is because of it's theme song called "Ponyo on the Cliff".


For my request for a hack of Super Mario World, Ponyo is what I choose.
It's pretty much should be the exact same game, but Ponyo is the Mario replacement.
You can change some of the enemies or Yoshi if you want to, it's your choice.
You can make new levels, but most of them can be water levels because Ponyo is half-fish/half-human.
You can even change the music, some levels can have the Ponyo theme song, you can even add music that wasn't even in the movie, such as Sonic Boom or Too Toot Sonic Warrior (also known as You Can Do Anything) from Sonic CD.
But Mario must be changed to Ponyo and Luigi must be changed to Sosuke, who is the other protagonist in the film.
Small Mario, should be Ponyo in her fish form, and Small Luigi, should only be small Sosuke.
Big Mario, should be Ponyo in her human form, and Big Luigi, should only be Sosuke in his normal size.
Fire Mario's palette must be changed to normal Mario and Fire Luigi's palette must be changed to normal Luigi because with Ponyo and Sosuke's fire-flower form, they can just stay the same way as Big and Small. And the fireballs, change them to the color blue to resemble water.
If you don't know what Ponyo and Sosuke look like while you edit the sprites, watch the movie or look for images of the characters online on Google, Yahoo!, Bing, DeviantArt, etc.
Do not import the full images to the game, or the sprites will look crappy.
The right thing to do is memorize the images while making the sprites, some people are masters at doing this, but not everyone, not even me. Just look at some hacks of SMW or Sega Genesis games such as Sonic the Hedgehog and it's sequels (except for Sonic CD, even though the PC version can be hacked).

Requires:
Lunar Magic
SpriteTool
YY-CHR
Mario and Luigi Palette Editor
A status bar editor
SpriteTool (optional)
MIDI to MML converter (optional)


If anybody accepts, when it's finished, upload the ROM in a ZIP, RAR or 7z file to SMW Central and then send me a reply or a PM (GhibliGuy9000).
I'll make it for you if you can pay me £500 to do the leadership and design for it and are willing to hire two other people as ASM and ExGFX specialists.
I don't have 500 euros. Or is that quote a joke? And besides, I'm not from Europe, I'm from North America (USA, not in Canada or Mexico).

No new levels? Unchanged levels are frowned upon here because why not play the original game then? The original game was just 'Bowser kidnapping Peach and Mario defeating 7 Koopalings and some Reznors.' I wonder what kind of equivalents there would be for that.

Hey, I got an idea, you can change the levels. But most of the levels can be water levels, since in the movie Ponyo is half-fish/half-human.

You can't expect anyone to make a hack for you just because you asked nicely.
They also need to be interested in it too. If they were to do the whole thing, probably more interested in it than you.

Or you can. If you have any particular ideas of what any of the levels should be like, you can be responsible for the level design, since you'll have full control over how you want it, while the graphic designers have just the character design to worry about. It could be a collab hack with people doing graphics and any harder thing else, and another doing levels.

I can do ExGFX, but my schedule is currently full due to C3 prep and other stuff.
I tried to make level designs for the hack, but I kinda suck at it, except for my SMW hack that I'm currently working on (SMG4: The Retarded Adventure in Hell). I got an another idea, somebody can do the level design, while other hackers can do everything else.

If you're just coming up with the idea and don't have the skill, then it sounds like it could have been put in the awesome hacking ideas thread.

One thing I gotta tell all of you guys who replied, I'm not going to C3. Because I'm only 15 years old and I have to stay home with my older brother because if my dad found out I wasn't home, I would be in serious trouble and I would get grounded for a very long time.
C3 is a site event not a face-to-face event
formerly known as TheBasicASMGuy or TBASMGuy for short. hi.
I'm 13 and I have a C3 project. Also yeah, C3 is not a physical event. If it was then C3 would have earned the nickname "Cataclysmic Chaos Convention".

edit: actually chaos did basically happen last time. But that's for a completely different reason.

I would imagine someone who would dress up as a furry wearing a 3UP-moon necklace.

Then you have these booths with people who do stuff like ''FANCY EXGFX IN USB FORMAT, $5''.
