I would swear that I've gotten up there before without cheating or making that drop...somehow I wound up there from the room(s) with the four doors...I haven't been able to duplicate this feat, but like I said, I managed it before somehow.
I'd like to get a Futurama mod going. Here's what I've got so far:

I thought the exact same thing, but to no avail.

I had a hard time with that level. I actually did make it up there via one of the doors from the multi-door thing. The first few times I tried it I thought I was just going in circles to no avail. :/
But anyways, it is possible.

Maybe it only works in a certain version of the game?

I seem to remember there being some trick to getting down there involving the Blooglet and the platforms over on the left, but I couldn't get that to work. :/

Seeing this thread made me go into Keen 6 and try to find a foolproof way to get down to the hidden door without hitting the fireballs. I think I figured out what you have to do. Notice how a switch is directly about the opening in the fireballs. When you jump on the switch, Keen is positioned to directly line up with that column of tiles. All you have to do is fall straight down without moving left or right, and you'll be able to pass through the fireballs. I can't believe that I only just figured this out. :O Edit: Dang it, I had subconciously put God mode on before I tried this. Without God mode, Keen still dies.

Find the right place to jump i guess. I'll turn god mode and jump mode on, and try to get the right angle. then I'll try it without.

Woah...I got it first try on hard. Just pogoed up, jumped on the switch, and got lucky.

Anyways, thanks a bundle for the help, especially the vid! Interesting to know that Easy has a platform you can use. I was actually super-confused when I first watched it (I had only tried in Normal) and assumed you'd edited the level to make it easier. Good work!
