Encyclopedia > Side scroller

A side-scrolling game or side-scroller is a genre of video games in which the gameplay action is viewed from a side-view camera angle, and the onscreen characters generally move from the left side of the screen to the right in order to reach their goals.


The most popular sub-genre of the side-scroller is the platformer, which are action games that feature jumping, climbing, and running characters who must be guided through many diverse levels. Games such as Super Mario Bros. and Sonic the Hedgehog are among the most famous side-scrollers of this type.


The side-scrolling format is also popular among fighting games, especially the popular Street Fighter series by Capcom.


In recent years side-scrolling games have been largely phased out in favor of 3D games, which allow characters to move in all directions, rather than just forward or backward. Side-scrolling is still a popular format on hand-held systems such as the Game Boy however.

Sometimes the side scroller appears on my message box and sometimes it doesn't (when i refresh the page but this doesn't always work).
You might have a MOD installed wich puts a scroller in your message box, if there is something in the box, that would otherwise stretch the whole page and break the page layout.
Hi, yes the vertical scrollers will appear when there is an image too big or a text too long.
