At least several days with the 2D version. Besides the obvious art and polygon revisions, the background would have to be changed from 8 tiles to 4, with all the programming which would accompany that. The Clear() function would need to be readjusted for the new amount of the screen that needed to be cleared. The fish-to-coral pathway code would all need to be removed, without affecting the fish-to-fish collision prediction code, and all the bubbles-under-the-carpet bugs which would be caused by that. Then there's the widescreen version, the Japanese version, the German version, the CD version, the Time version, the Crystal version, and all the combinations and permutations thereof.
