The VG Resource

So, after digging in Mario Sunshine, I discovered the game has a duplicate model of each map and commonly used object for each mission. Would it be possible to have a different map for each mission? What I'm getting at is: through applying mods to the ISO, can we replace Bianco Hills with "the grass world," with each mission serving as a different level entirely? Can we play it through Nintendon't or other loaders?

it's possible and there have been rom hacking efforts in the past + there's a small community

There hasn't been anything super substantial yet though
