One of my best childhood friends lived one house down from us, so we spent a lot of time together. We wrote several short comic books about a super hero called Super Egg. It was literally a giant egg in a cape who fought bad guys like egg beaters and frying pans.
We also used to go bug hunting with his older brother out at the local park. We found a giant huntsman once and it ran up the stick we poked it with.

I either made up entire worlds, played my NES/Atarii2600, or fight my friends with a lighsaber in one hand and a Sailor Moon wand in the other.

I just threw all of mine together. There was even some interspecies marriage (I had a Neopets toy that was married to a plastic dinosaur. They had wedding bands made from bread bag ties.) I think there was some acknowledgement of different species, but everyone got along and made nice.
The geographical locations within the 'world' (my house) where also consistent, though. My room was a metropolis, the bathroom with all of my bath toys where another city, and my sister's room was a distant port. Our downstairs family room was an ocean and my dad's study was a place where bad guys where exiled. Stair case was a mountain range, and the kitchen was a wilderness.
My favorite thing is still the backstory I made for my bath toys and their little city. I had a soft plastic squirty fish who was the mayor and another similar one who was her son. Citizens included a Blastoise, a Squirtle (also parent/child), several frogs, a rubbie duckie, a glow-in-the-dark dinosaur who was ebil, a very realistic looking iguana, and a Sandshrew keychain. Yeah most of them weren't really bath toys but w/e.
I have especially fond memories of Sandshrew, who sticks out in my mind as the one with the most developed 'character.' I came up with this story to explain why a Sandshrew lived in my bathtub, and it was that he and his mother were very special and could swim/enjoyed the water. The other Sandshrew thought they were freaky and chased them off, and his mother abandoned him there. He was a criminal for a long time but during the events of the city's founding he turned over a new leaf and became your basic rugged anti-hero.
My very favorite thing about this, though? When I got a little bit older and had grown out of this for the most part, I was browsing Pokémon toys at a flea market and found...another Sandshrew keychain, just like the one I already had. Even though I hadn't done anything in a few years, I couldn't help myself and dreamed up a 'reunion episode' where Sandshrew's mother comes back to find him.
Feels where felt both in-universe and out.

I found stars on the tip of your tongue/You speak poltergeist and so do I
I pretended I was Inuyasha and could run rlly fast lol. He was like... my anime idol.
I also liked to pretend I was a wolf and howled along sound clips of wolf howling. I walked around on my tippy-toes after seeing an animation correctly portraying the digitigrade nature of animals including dogs.
I also liked making complex games which involved many sub-games... I wrote down all of the rules and structures and stuff into a notebook. I tried to get my next door neighbour kid to play it with me; I found it absolutely fascinating, she saw no point in in whatsoever and grew bored in one second. (fair enough too - it prolly only made sense to myself)
Fun times!

I lived across from my best friend in an apartment building so we played together a lot. We often pretended to be characters from movies and such. Milo and Otis and the care bears were our favorites for this He was always Otis/grumpy bear and I milo/tenderheart. We also did things like run around in our underwear in our apartments and he would wear a pink tutu and Dorothy shoes on occasion.
I myself had many many imaginary animals. I never had imaginary friends, just animals. Blacky the black lab being the main one. I also have memories of floating by jumping and coming down by wiggling my legs. I tried to get my mom to look at me floating but she wouldn't. (I don't know if it was a dream or what. I could tell that one time was a dream but the other time I have no clue.)
I also would eat butter and salt. Just plain salt from a salt shaker.
I kind of had a salt problem and still do though I don't just eat salt plain anymore.
ah and the time me and my friend thought we saw a ufo when we were playing outside.
he wasn't in the apartment at this time anymore, but I was having a sleepover at his house and he made me sleep by the edge of the bed 'so the aliens would eat my brain first.'

I basically used to run around pretending to be a dragon a whole lot. Fun times.

Pretended King Kong was following me when I ran home in the dark.
Sat in a bucket, wore my dad's shirt like a potato sack and pretended I was actually one of those experiments during a Lilo and Stitch phase.
