You must use the stage with the character for it to work (make the fantasy creatures as player 2)

I wanted to be able to play sidescroller beat 'em up type levels on MUGEN, so I put together a template that will allow anyone to make their own sidescrolling games or levels.  I figured since I'm familiar with MUGEN, I didn't want to learn a whole new engine (BOR) to make sidescrollers.

So I'm using code from both the Mario sidescrolling level by Bane84 and the Mad Gear Gang  helpers char by Sugio and combining it together to create the template.   Also thanks to BonusJZ for the Night Slashers sprites, SeanAltly and numerous other creators for the helper sprites.

It consists of a stage and a character, and you need both for it to work.  The stage can be edited to be as wide as you want.  You simply swap out the backgrounds and add sprites as you would to any normal stage.  There is an invisible trigger at the end of the stage that when you touch it, the level ends and you win.

The character needs to be set as player 2.  It will let you spawn enemies anywhere you want on the stage, and also give each enemy however much health you want.  It comes with about 8-10 different types of helpers, who have different types of attacks.  You can simply swap the sprites to make the enemies whatever you want them to be.  And of course, you can add more moves/animations/attacks to them as you would to any character if you want.

There's also the ability to put a box/chest that if you break it open spawns an item that will restore some of your health if you pick it up.  Again, you can just swap the sprites and make it look like whatever you want.

With this template, you can throw in a sidescrolling level within a MUGEN game, or even make an entire game that is a pure sidescroller.  An updated Final Fight using CVS2 sprites?  A Mortal Kombat sidescroller?  It's up to you.

Here's 3 examples of the types of games you could make on this:

Remember, these are templates.  There's lots of room for improvements.  The bad guys can have as many animations and attacks as you want... just like regular helpers.  You can simply swap the sprites on the stage and characters if you want to make something playable, but the talented creators will hopefully make some really special levels and games.  I'm just getting the ball rolling...

[ZVitor]

Bravo.

[VargVikernes]

Thanks for this incredible release!!

I'm going to try it, a Marvel or DC mini game would be epic.

This is actually a great idea! It's neat that you were able to make an actual template out of this in order to have others make their own side scrolling game. Although I do see a few areas that need improvement (i.e. screen needs to scroll sooner than when p1 is close to the side of the screen), this is one of the most unique creations I've seen in awhile 

[Skeletor-EX]

Interesting! Can't wait till this develops more. Nice idea!

[SolidZone 26]

Unique idea for a template, thanks for the release. Perhaps I might have some ideas for this.

[Worksa8]

Now I love this, I hope it comes with some of those test stages there too...
Thanks Lagg.

Edit: Okay, it's a shame that it doesn't have any of the examples with it, I really wanted to try that D&D one without having to re-make the whole thing if it was already made, but I'll do it then.
Anyways, with the thing itself. I found it can be very hard for characters like MvC combo-ers to play, since you can't launch the enemies. Also I agree with Sabaki about the scrolling, but all in all this is a really neat template =3
