Finding the car used in the scene below was annoying, but thanks to Japanese wiki pages, I found the car that was filmed in the 1954 Godzilla movie.

It was a Dodge Coronet. This one below isn’t the exact model they used, but it was used as a reference image when drawing the car. For example, the model used in the film had four doors.

Sprite limitations are the biggest problem for me when designing the scene. Also, GB Studios doesn’t support auto-scrolling on the GameBoy, or the GameBoy doesn’t support auto-scrolling. So, the background has to stretch the entirety of the scene.
