Wow, Treeki, this is turning out great! Thanks to the editor (and the sprite data docs I found), I've managed to get all of World 1 finished in my hack. Will make a thread on that when I get around to making a matching video.
Keep up the sweet work, Treeki!

I remember seeing someone adding text to one of PM64's text strings in a YouTube video. He added "noob" to show a break in a large string of "@'s" in the ROM and displayed it in PM64 by changing one of Peach's text pointers(I assume). The app he used was a Memory Editor of some sort. If you wanna see it, skip to "1:21" of this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ncPrwR77kJA

Hey, Treeki, would it be possible to add new views to a level by adding a new address string to Block 8?
And y'know the "Moon Physics" you mentioned a few pages back? Can that be added into any level? If so, which block should I go to and which bytes should l edit to add it?

UPDATE! Hooray... Levels up to 2-3 completed. 2-4 is a cut-off End_of_Demo.
The current patch contains all of World 1 complete with almost half of world 2 done. It also contains more coins and 1-Up rewards, as they were a tad lacking. Now, I start listing information on the levels.
World 1-1
Challenges:
• Collect 3 Star Coins
Notes:
• Pretty basic level. Not much to note here.
World 1-2
Challenges:
• Collect 3 Star Coins
• Locate Secret Exit.
Notes:
• Camera gets a tad wonky at the beginning, but isn't too bad. --I think I fixed this. Thanks, whoever helped me.
• I'm gonna change some parts of this to make it not have two pipes leading to the Secret Exit. --I think this is done, too. Maybe.
World 1-3
Challenges:
• Collect 3 Star Coins
Notes:
• I might change this one a bit in a future release, mostly to make the pipe have meaning at the end. --Forget that, endless pipe entering FTW!
• Added some tilting mushrooms and added more 1-Up rewards.
World 1-Tower
Challenges:
• Collect 3 Star Coins
• Locate Secret Exit.
Notes:
• The Secret Exit was moved and takes use of an extra zone.
• You can go through the bottom part of the stone blocks at the 2nd Star Coin. I dunno how to fix this, so please don't try hitting them from below. --Added invisible solid blocks to stop anyone from doing that.
World 1-4
Challenges:
• Collect 3 Star Coins
• Go through the Mini Alternate Route.
Notes:
• This one's like a Pipe Maze, but not as long or confusing.
• Gonna make the Mini Alternate Route mandatory for collecting all Star Coins next patch. --Done.
World 1-5
Challenges:
• Collect 3 Star Coins
Notes:
• Be careful of those logs! Some might fall off and pull a cheap KO. --At request of beta tester, they're replaced with Donut Lifts.
World 1-A
Challenges:
• Collect 3 Star Coins
• Obtain all normal coins.
• Stomp all Mini Goombas.
Notes:
• This is a more heavily changed level. You'll see why if you get there. 
• Ignore the ? Switch in Area 3. It's just there.
World 1-Castle
Challenges:
• Collect 3 Star Coins
Notes:
• The first half of the level is a bit of a puzzle. "When it seems you can't go further, try going back for anything that may have changed."
• When you catch the 2nd Star Coin, you'll hear a timer. There's nothing involving a time limit, so just ignore it. --I dunno if I hear it anymore... O.o
• Added some Fire Bars to get in the way.
World 2-1
Challenges:
• Collect 3 Star Coins
Notes:
• Updated and probably less of a blatant level edit.
• Made the Mini Alternate Route more significant.
World 2-2
Challenges:
• Collect 3 Star Coins
Notes:
• Mostly an underground level now.
• The Midway Point may be too far into the level. I can't really put it in Area 2 here and there don't seem to be many other fitting places.
World 2-3
Challenges:
• Collect 3 Star Coins
Notes:
• Absolutely overworld level with an alternate route.
• Contains a Secret Exit, but I don't think I did anything to 2-A... Nope.
World 2-4
Challenges:
• Koopa Jump all Blue Koopas in one jump.
Notes:
• Unfinished as it is the end of demo.
Visual Examples
Here's a video of every level in World 1.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nwpxCiXOho
Here's a video of World 1 updates and the World 2 levels.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNqLmQKUVBM
Download
Up to 2-4 Roughly 20 MB.
The download is a .ppf patch file. You must patch a COMPLETELY UNMODIFIED NSMB (U) ROM with the .ppf file. I recommend using "PPF-O-Matic" to do this. As for getting the appropriate ROM... Well, you'll have to use Google for that.
Sorry, no .nmp patch. My editor keeps shoveling out bugged ones...

Speaking of new levels... I made a thread about a whole hack I'm doing... Yes, I'm going for all 8 Worlds in it. Right now, though, it has all of World 1. There's also a video on it there if you wanna see what it looks like first.
http://jul.rustedlogic.net/thread.php?id=5632
Do post responses to it at the thread, plzkthx.
And about the "Moon Physics," Mini Mario does jump in that fashion, but he doesn't run like that. (Just saying)
Oh, and what byte is that exactly? It seems it cycles through Normal, Forced Mini, Moon, Forced Mini Moon, repeat. Do values normally do that cycling?
Finally, is there any known byte that forces a power-up upon entry to level? I mean, besides the Mini Mario one?

I kept thinkin' everyone could hear my thoughts when in the same room as me. I also thought people lived in the mirrors and listened to everything I thought when I could be seen in it.
l'm afraid of going too far out of the boundaries of a game. Usually the ones where it's seemingly endless sky or emptiness. I'm not sure what I think's going to happen if I do, but it might be because of how some of EarthBound's crashes are. Interestingly, I was always fine with the Outer Boundaries of Wave Race...

You know how No$gba has horrible sound quality when a lot of visual stuff is needed, right? Well, someone made a neat little app for it that removes that background noise, giving a more crisp sound quality. ^.^
Here's that app just in case you want it:

That'd certainly make things easier for people new to patches. But for now, .PPF is the way to go. (.IPS doesn't work for NDS roms? :/ )
So, places that normally don't have Star Coins(like the Cannon levels), you think I'd be able to place Star Coins in them and have 'em add to the total count?

Dolphin, the GCN/Wii emulator has been going pretty good. You probably could emulate it if your computer is more modern. And since NSMBWii is pretty popular, I'd say it'll be a high priority for getting it playable(I mean, Brawl can run better than Melee apparently). I also believe they made the keyboard(I think Computer Controllers too) have functionality for "tilting" the imaginary WiiMote.
EDIT: Hablah blah, forgot what I said about Midway entrances, l figured it out.

Here is the News site for it. Scroll down some to see an update about SMG being playable. :-D

Oh, um... BTW, Treeki, why did you call the Bob-Ombs, "Bombs?" Were you having trouble remembering names? (Sorry if this sounds stupid, but I'm a stickler for this kind of stuff)

C00l, I almost got the Connected Pipes working, but do l need to convert the values to hexadecimal? I do, right?
Er... Hex Edit... Gee, I prolly do...
Better question is: Do l have to reverse them? Like, 1234 is 3412?
EDIT: Huh, figured it out. The answer to both is: YES. Convert the values to Hex and reverse them.

SVN might be what version the revisions are? I don't really know either. But as for the downloads, you go to the downloads page, right? There should be 4 links there, two Linux ones and two Windows ones. They are also marked by what kind of computer they were made for: 64 bit and 32 bit. Just choose which one fits your computer's capabilities. Their Discussion Forum has more information and you can ask any questions there.
EDIT: Oh, and you'd want the highest number revision as well, r3661.
Oh, and Star Coins in Canon Warps... lt adds the Star Coins to the bottom screen and if using the Canon counted as grabbing the flagpole, I'm sure it'd add to the total count....Probably.
And as for sprite "Warp to Level," it seems it likes to freeze when the destination is in the same Area(In my experiences). But setting it to 0 fixes that, seemingly. So, is value 0 "Load from Argumentative Memory," or does NSMB not have that?

Er... That's pretty much what "Argumentative Memory" is, as far as l've learned...

In the download, there should be an .exe called "a." Put that in the same folder as No$gba. When you get a game in No$gba, you can open a and it will work automatically. If it still sounds fuzzy, press Select then L in game(Not L on the keyboard, L on the emulated DS). It works for most games, but could glitch up if you swop a game.

An NSMB Board on Jul? Sounds good.
I'll need someone to move my NSMB Hack there.

I think he meant that it's a Brick Block that acts like a coin and that it can be a very great trap.

i still dont know 
He said "Update : Object 25 with sprite 88."
I have a feeling that he means to place Object 25 in the same location as a Sprite 88 to get a Brick Block that acts like a coin... If Object 25 is a Block... I don't memorize the numbers.

Yeah, it's a bother for me and the end player to extract them all and have them be inserted. Though, it WOULD be simpler, just a little tedious.

I start no$gba with nsmb then I open a.exe it comes up with an error that suggests to reinstall the program.
In the download, inside the folder where "a.exe" was... There should also be "a.ini" in there too. Put that with "a.exe" and it should work. If not, then, I don't get it. Mine can work with or without the .ini. :\

I see you have remade also 2-1. you could make more worlds! it would make an entire new mario!
there are some things that can improve, though in level 1-2:
-Fix the camera! I think you can fix it by simply removing the scroll controls
-The two pipes
- Some times the floor goes down below the screen so you can't see it and you have to jump blind 
and also i think that the ppfomatic is doing weird things, because your download is VERY large. It'd be better to attach a zip with all the nml's.
Good work! waiting for more!
Glad you like them. I plan on making the entire game changed to be my very own. ^.^
Yeah, 1-2 was a pain to make. I had to compromise so many things.
-Funny thing about the camera. I did remove the Scroll Controls in the main area, but that's what caused the problem. I gotta re-fix that after l remember where they go. <.<
-Two pipes... Do you mean the two exits that lead to the Secret Exit? I thought I blocked the 2nd one off... But those three words could mean anything... Could you explain that a little more?
- Blind jumps are annoying, I know. I can fix that when I remember where the Scroll Controls went... As for the 2nd area... I'm not entirely sure on how to fix that. Might need to do some checks with the Scroll Controls or find out something about the Header Blocks.
And if it's 19 MB of space, I don't see how that's too bad... But then again, I'm the guy who's got 150GB's of free space on his compy! XD
Ahem, but I'm not really sure on what the mean of .ppf file sizes is. But you should only need to use it once, so you can delete it right after you're done with it. And file size to me doesn't matter, just as long as it works without game play glitches.
And thanks for enjoying the levels. ^.^
