Trying me make a 2D sidescrolling platformer. I want the camera to follow the player like in a game like Mario. But the scroll to behaviour is delayed and the player goes off the screen. Does anyone know how to fix this issue. Any help would be appreciated

Try setting Unbounded scrolling to "Yes" in layout properties.

Thank you for your reply.This worked however since it shows the outside of the layout I don't think this is optimal. Is there a better way?

Yes, you can use a different invisible sprite for a camera, set its X position to clamp(player.x, WindowWidth/2, LayoutWidth-WindowWidth/2), or something like that. You can also move it with lerp for smoother scrolling.

Search the forum and tutorials, I'm sure you will find lots of examples. Here is one:
