I just figured it would be helpful to post that here, in the "Ask generic Questions" thread it would be lost very soon. Anyway, feel free to move it if you think this doesn't belong here, I just post this because I think most will find this quite helpful. At least, it helped me a lot. :p
If anyone still cares, I found a solution/explanation for this by coincidence. Anyway, it's possible to get rid of it. It's tile 260 out of GFX00.bin, mirrored and loaded into the Title screen for whatever reason. It's usually part of the dust-cloud or Lakitu's cloud. So, easist way to get rid of it would be to load an ExGFX-file in Level C7, in which you replace tile 260 with tile F8 (which would be blank). With that, you wouldn't see anything anymore. I just tried that with my Title screen, which had the same problem, and it worked perfectly.

It's not your fault that this white "thing" is there. Actually, it's in the original SMW as well. The only reason you can't see it, is because the Layer3-font of "SUPER MARIO WORLD" is covering it. So far, there's no way found to get this out, so the only solution would be to use Layer 3 to cover it.

What could possibly be causing this little white folder looking thing to pop up for about a second and then disappear when the intro movie begins? I've run back through all my backup files to see when this started occuring to see if an external patch or tool may have glitched the rom but from what i can gather it has occured since the very start - at least since from right after replacing the original SMW title with my own (the original SMW logo covered that spot up so i have no idea if it was originally there or started after i redesigned it).
Again, this only appears for about a second right when the movie opens up and then disappears permanently. I'm at a loss as to discovering its origin.
