generally, people don't use the superjump feature, because in most
situations it creates the ability for willy to fall through solids
(i'm sure you probably remember trying to fix that a while back!).

it'd be great to replace the superjump with a feature to turn the
fire blocks to water on that screen. of course, i turned fire to air
in strangel, but they weren't conventional air blocks, i had to be
careful how i placed them. it was done by replacing the 'superjump'
cheat with the 'non deadly fire' cheat in the dynamic switching
routine.
