Map Requests / RE: You know what we're overdue for?

We think alike, I was thinking after posting that last message that maybe I'd be skewed towards the first two, Kirby: Super Star and Secret Of Mana.
Secret Of Mana is fairly large...I remember renting it on two extra long "weekends" (one was five days, one was four days). Thankfully our file was still there when we rented it the second time, which was probably a month or two or a few later. How lucky is that? Anyway, I could be wrong, but I'd wager that it's along the scale of mapping Final Fantasy VI or Chrono Trigger. But at least if you were playing while mapping you wouldn't need to stop for turn-based battles since they're all handled in real-time action, similar to The Legend Of Zelda games or The Illusion Of Gaia. While beautiful, and if labelled like the Evermore maps, extremely useful, I think we'd have to find enough people to truly want to do it otherwise it'd be such a chore.
Kirby: Super Star has a more "fun" vibe going for it, and with multiple games in it, you wouldn't have to go far to map any area...though like I said, The Great Cave Offensive is probably going to be the centerpiece of it all, since that's where a map will be needed most and it's probably the largest.
I'd support either effort as much as I can, with maps if possible and my own suggestions as to how things should be done, but I hope we can get enough people and be sure that we'll finish. I don't want a me-and-Revned project of this magnitude.
So? Anyone else have any suggestions/votes/expressions of willingness to participate?
