It looks to me like a guardian is colliding with the pixels for the picture that appears in the upper eight character-rows of the title screen and of Room 19.

If this is indeed the case, then the three possible solutions would be:

(a) to edit or delete the offending guardian;

(b) to clear enough pixels from the picture to accommodate the guardian;

(c) to patch the Manic Miner game engine so that guardians collide with the pixels of the player only.

Thanks for this, Andrew.

 

I've also had a go at solving the problem, and it is indeed the vertical guardian which is causing it.

 

A solution to it is to edit the guardian's range and starting position. The following POKEs do the trick:

 

In Decimal:

65247,64

65250,64

65251,80

 

or in Hex:

#FEDD,05

#FEDF,40

#FEE2,40

#FEE3,50

 

I'll let Softwarecete know about it and I hope they will release a bug-fixed version of "Jet Set Luis" soon :).
