I don't know anything about in-depth DS ripping either.
I only know how to use a DS emulator, how to deactivate layers and screenshot them, but I see others doing these fabulous rips and also a crapload of tools.
Right at this moment I'm doing rips for Super Metroid, so I don't have too much time to experiment, but as I said, I will try around later.
What I can recommend to you, a person who has never ripped from DS before, download all tools related to DS ripping possible, read tutorials about them and if you're not having success with Kirby, try other games to check how they're responding to them. This is the only way you can rule out that you did something wrong.
After all, to gain the neccessary experience, you really need to make yourself comfortable with using these tools, if you're not going to use an emulator.
And now that I think about it, maybe an emulator is enough for a bloody beginner? Stage select and a map screen doesn't sound so complicated:
Desmume 0.9.13 emulator for Nintendo DS
https://desmume.org/
Download the emu, unpack the archive with Winrar or 7-Zip. Start it up and load the ROM.
1- The window is tiny, enlarge it

2- Activate Background Pause or else you will hear annoying and stuttering music each time you tab out

3- Go here and the map viewer will show you every bg on the screen
