You can also alter the behaviour of certain elements, so that, for example, enemies can be stacked one on top of another or any object can be given wings. Or use amiibo to unlock 8-bit versions of any Nintendo character that has one. There is a certain amount of latitude given however, and although you can’t create your own sprites you can expand and warp existing ones.
