In your logic for adding 2nd (& 3rd/4th) player, you create a new character and set them to move, but you do so using with the normal move block; this makes it so player 1 ‘takes control’ of them. Instead, you’d want to use the `player 2 move with buttons` block:

it’d probably be easiest to change the mamaDino sprite name so they are different per player, to help with that sort of thing; `mamaDino` right now will just always refer to the last player that has connected’s sprite, which can get confusing
