| Description: | This patch fixes an "oversight" (more likely a lazy design choice) where the leading coin of the Directional Coins sprite will not become solid when the blue P-Switch is active - sometimes resulting in the player getting crushed as the sprite generates a solid tile, or pushed out from the blocks when moving up. The patch makes the leading coin act solid when the P-Switch is active, allowing the player to ride the block and preventing them from getting crushed. |

Works ok I Also tested it
- Lunar Magic 3.31
- SA-1 Pack 1.40
- Snes9x 1.60, Bsnes-plus 05
- Asar 1.81
Notes:
Works as advertised (with one minor caveat), so accepted. There will still be some slightly odd behavior when on Yoshi due to how the solid block routine works, but SMW will be SMW. In particular, Mario will just get snapped up if hit from the side by the solid leading edge, rather than pushed along. And if the leading edge hits Mario from above (while standing on the ground), it will kill him outright, rather than clipping him to the side as when not on Yoshi.
Star World 5 had the player use a P-Switch and the directional coins at the same time to make a bridge
I don't think it can be definitively called a bug when riding the leading coin/block wasn't something that original SMW required. Even if this patch seems like the "natural" behaviour of the sprite, if it was left out intentionally then it's not a bug.
