Hey guys,
Was wondering if anyone knows what the deal is with jumping through stones in Ganbare Goemon. I managed to make it to the fourth stage of the second precinct, but in order to complete the stage, I need to cross over to the staircase at 48:35 in this longplay:

And the game only allows you to jump over three stones at once if your sandals are maxed out -- any more than that, and it prevents you from making the jump at all.
Every single approach to this staircase requires jumping over at least 4 stones at once, which should be impossible -- but the game evidently expects you to do it anyway, and the guy playing this longplay is somehow able to pull it off. I just can't figure out how.
Anybody able to shed some light on this? I don't have the manual for this game (only a loose cartridge), so I'm wondering if maybe there's a key gameplay feature I'm missing or something, as it seems odd Konami would *expect* players to exploit a bug.
Thanks, to anyone who can help!
-Tom
