Removing mergefrom as parallax scrolling is one type of pseudo-3D. The sprite way is also more similar to the layer way.

An interesting variation is to have the background and foreground move in ''opposite'' directions. This creates an effect of rotation. An early example is the scene in ''[[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937 film)|Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs]]'' where the evil Queen drinks her potion, and her surroundings appear to spin around her.
 
==The repeating pattern/animation way==
Scrolling displays built up of individual character blocks can be made to 'float' over a repeating background layer by animating the background characters in order to portray the parallax effect. This was often achieved using a scrolling star-field, but sometimes a more intricate effect was achieved, such as in the game 'Parallax' by [[Sensible Software]] for example.
