If you are a total newbie to concepts like 2's complement and bitwise math, I'd suggest this:
http://www.romhacking.net/docs/423/It's pretty long and not all of the document is relevant to actual hacking work, but at the very least it gives you a good grounding in the concepts. After that you could probably read some documents more specifically tailored for the SNES. I learned mostly from scouring every document I could find on 65c816 assembly, then I started actually tinkering with roms to see what I could change, and gradually it started making more sense.
