that happens to me all the time. how do you fix it is what i would like to ask.
I... I think I've quit. Lurking and posting where I feel it's needed from time to time. I was never particularly good, but I tried. Never really succeeding, but trying all the same.
This is what I spend my time on now

The problem is that the EXE likes being efficient. It assumes that because it has already loaded the file 'floor.bmp', it doesn't need to reload it again. The Batman Arena, Event Results Arena, and Practice Arena all load the 'floor.bmp' that you see but the Luma Zone's real 'floor.bmp' looks completely different.

To fix it would require some minor GMF work and file renaming.

Another arena that you might notice a minor skin change in is the DSL Tournament Arena after visiting the DSL Lava Island Arena.
Floor saw plates can be either yellow (Half Circle Arena) or orange (Combat Arena) depending on which arena you go to first.
If you want to be really technical, triple spike plates can be either a dark orange (Bridge Arena, Compressor Arena, Half Circle Arena) or a light orange color (Combat Arena, Skull Arena).

Awwww Trov beat me to it.

Pretty much if you go in an arena that shares the same name of the map for another, then in the other arena it will have the bitmap chosen from the first arena. But if you go in the Luma First, it would use that map and then use it for whatever other arena's bitmap with the same name.

tough to put in words
