What's the horseshoe magnet do?

I finished this game on version on Amstrad and I have a question about the additional items. I know where to use a shiny emerald, broken heart, etc. But I don't know one. What's the magnet do? {yolkfolk}:scratch:

There is already a thread talking about it, to be honest we never found any use for the magnet. {yolkfolk}:scratch:

The Horsehoe Magnet is required (at least on the original Speccy version) to lift the gates/barriers in the Crazy Labyrinth.

If, however, you follow the route mentioned in other threads and avoid the Laybyrinth completely then the Magnet is irrelevant. It's not the "intended" way of finishing the game but it's faster, safer and legal! :teethy:

Hi Invisibabe, have to be honest and say i finished the speccy version going through the labyrinth without the horseshoe Mag, just went to different spots on the floor and the doors would auto open.

Did anyone else need the magnet for labyrinth ?

Hi, Invisibabe.

And how exactly do you use the HorseShoe Magnet? I have tried holding it and nothing happens. I have tried placing it next to the gates/barriers and nothing happens.

What do you do with it?
