The SNES has two virtual screens where backgrounds and objects can appear, and those two screens are combined together to produce a final image to put on the screen. I acknowledged its existence in SNES Features part 3, but this video goes into more detail.

Hopefully the visuals are adequate enough to get all the points across--there are so many ways to flip the switches and settings that it would be impossible to show off every possible combination.

Youtube's compression does not seem to like the grey background pattern you're using in this video. If it's easy to do, can you maybe change that to a different one?

Yeah, I'll be reuploading the video, since I think I know why that happened on this video and not the others that use the exact same background.
