Maybe you could make use of this feature in this level, but I think it  
only works if you got two matching oxyd-stones on the left side and the  
other pair on the right side. If I remember correctly, the intended way of  
solving this level is to bomb the triggers away (or to go the long way  
through the vortices). In Magnum #91 on the other hand, you can only solve  
the landscape if you occupy the spawnpoint of the black marble with the  
white marble, so that the black marble will spawn at the oxyd-stones.
