I tried the switch and opening walls, but they crashed the emulator
when I entered the room?

Since you are intervening with the guardian types, is it possible to
make (a) harmless guardians (act like BG) and (b) guardians that act
like platforms? Also, could we have a skylab that doesn't change
position (useful for water drops, etc)?

I am really dying to see these new guardians work.
