What is a BG overlay?
Those things at the bottom of The Labyrinth?

No. It is the cascading background that scrolls with Ferazel's movement.

Yes, Ben's will work. Because cascades move in three different speeds (notice how MASCOT splits the BG cascade into three strips? Those strips move differently to give an illusion of distance), the creator of the cascades has to account for that. So far, only Ben knows how to do that well--or someone hired by Ben, perhaps--and at this point, he hasn't shared his secrets.
