Not exactly the same functionally, having floating blocks instead of columns means a missed jump can’t be saved with the wall jump glitch.

Of course, an average SMB player probably won’t know about that. Even if you know how, it takes perfect timing to pull off. 🙂

Randomly jumping from the top layer to the ground isn’t an 8-3 exclusive skill, it’s just how they work.

Still, with the proper timing in block hitting you can bash any asshole who attempts landing on top of you like that. It’s risky, but it works.

All the other appearances they can only jump from top, to middle, to ground. Here they can skip the middle layer unannounced and land right on you.
Barbaric.
