LVZ allow you to place any image you want in a map, or on the screen in continuum. The also allow you to override the default graphics (ships, powerballs, anything).
To Make them you need LVZ toolkit (http://www.shanky.com/cgi-bin/ryan/download.cgi?lvztoolkit.zip). In that there is fun and entertaining README which explains how to do stuff like "I want mycat.jpg to be placed at tile 512,512 (center of the map)"

You can also use .lvz to override the default sounds. There is a 4mb limit (definitely for each .lvz file, but I heard something about the limit is for all the .lvz/levelfiles that belong to an arena).
