Make two layers. In layer on top put in your text in the color you want where you want. Now copy the text and click on the layer below it. Now right click and paste in place. Now move the text using your arrow keys on your keyboard

By the way, could you help me find a mario or megaman flash game. I’d really appreciate it

Thanks:)

to complete the effect, use a different, darker shade, you can skew the text (image) and change the transparency a bit.
