The bonus games on Plus were from the SNES version. I *think* they allowed them to keep their full compliment of levels. You can for example unlock the 6 level version of Daioh - I think. Crikey, this was a long time ago. Let me check. Ahh, yes:
You can't edit this Rev1 version, or any of the bundled games, other than Daioh Rev2.
The games on the second disc of Kids are basically just Plus save files. You can save the majority of Kids 2nd disc games onto a memory card, and load them up in Plus to play around. I did this with one or two titles. Some games are locked though, and cannot be edited - presumably due to the wishes of the original authors.
If you're stuck for ideas and have both Plus and Kids, you can load some Kids save files and see how they did it. Unfortunately you can't mix and match assets, since it appears to function as one entire save file.

The main reason for my not so stellar performance is that.....well, I kinda suck at drawing in real life, and in pixel form, I'm even less capable.
I did make some 8 bitish looking sprites that were sort of okay, but doing round surfaces in pixel form is still my greatest weakness.
Plus, you can't have more then 1 boss per level, so you can't even program a boss rush at the end. And the maximum regular enemy HP is still not enough to avoid killing them in maybe ten seconds.

Hmm, interesting points. It's been a while since I tinkered... I'm wondering if you could somehow fake it, like I did making a hori shmup.
I guess you could make 5x enemy boss rush by just having super short levels and 5 bosses with nothing else...
But yes, the Plus variant is very limited, and Kids is just... weird. Dez 2 is by far my favourite.

Dez 2 is by far my favourite. Well kids does have Hanyou Kurobikari Nigou. Aka the Mushroom game. Another realy weird problem I ran into alot is the BG. You'd assume that if you lay it out and copy it from the sprite folder, it would appear like you've made it. But apparently the levels mirror stuff from spot X all across the levels at internvals. I'm not sure what that's about. About that suggestion: that would pretty much end up making the game rather short, wouldn't it ? I also have one other question: can any kind of animation on the bosses ? Because I could have sword the pre-defined ones have some kind.
