I am trying to make a pokemon or zelda style game where the background will move the character and then a new background will take its place once it gets to a certain point. But I am having a LOT of trouble. I made a side scrolling game before with just left and right but the up and down part it confusing me. Here is my attempt at it even though its a 100% failure https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/85677362/ so how can I get a background to cover the screen and scroll? Also how can I replace it with a new one after? I am not that far so I am willing to start over if I have to. Please help!

First off, your down key is in the up key, so you'd have to press both to actually move down…… Second, if you made a grid system, you could name costumes:
11
12
13
14
21
22
23
24
31
32
33
34
41
42
43
43

with the left side being x on the grid, and right side being y, and use that to tell where each background should be. You would have to divide x and y by the width and height of the screen to do that though.

Can you make the grid in scratch? Or would I have to import a photo of one?

It wouldn't matter. It's just that each background would take up the full screen and move with the character, and load dynamically.
