In the level 'frozen mountains 2' i finished level two 'dream falling' using cheat mod. I went through a shift which will flag of my umbrella. my umbrella was open and when I went through the shift, it was still there! but when I looked at my power list it was not there!,and I couldn't close it. it disapeard when I died! :O

That's interesting.  I suppose it's just an oversight, since the game wasn't initially designed with the intention of losing powerups.

I remember this issue coming up a long time ago for another level. There was some discussion about it, but in the end this behaviour wasn't changed; it's up to the level designer to make sure this isn't a significant problem (I don't think it is in Frozen Mountain 2, but it may have been in the other level).

Indeed. Its a bug that has come up long time ago. If the umbrella power is removed during a shift while you carry it, it'll be stuck on you until you regain the powerup.

This level by Firecat (http://nifflas.lpchip.nl/index.php?topic=4241.0) exploits the bug. It's pretty neat.

As does this level by Firecat (http://www.glorioustrainwrecks.com/node/1352), which is also neat.
