Worldbuilding: Old Maps

 Since this is the first post in the "Worldbuilding series", I'll be explaining a little bit about that now. Over the years, there have been a bunch of video games I've wanted to make.

I had to look up how to add most of the elements of the game, but I got it working with a Master Hand battle using one attack (from both Master Hand and you) that was like bullets. It had 4 or 5 characters you could play as, but sti...
