Then they removed the object from the old place without removing the modifier, and added it to the tile on the left.
This is just my guess.
Right. That is almost certainly it, seeing how each floor tile with an unexpected modifier has an object to its left with the same modifier value.

Perhaps there used to be an open gate there, then they removed it without removing the modifier.
The gate would have led to the room on the right, which was removed as well.
(Or rather, moved elsewhere, since this level uses all 24 rooms.)
Again, this is just my guess.
Could be; modifier 0xFF is generally only used for (open) gates. It's unlikely it was a raise/drop/teleport.

Weekly Famitsu 08/05/1992: https://archive.org/details/weekly-fami ... 8/mode/1up
Weekly Famitsu 10/01/1992: https://archive.org/details/weekly-fami ... 2/mode/1up
Both of these have disappeared.

The archive still has some 1992 issues, but not these two.

Oh wow, that's odd. I think I did save those two to my old laptop, but I need to retrieve them from there to keep them safe.

Removed by the copyright holders, they suddenly became preoccupied with old thirty-year-old magazines, shame.

Try a torrent, I don't know if there will be seeders.
