The problem is that it is the ONLY object that you ever control that way with no indication of how to do it. No other similar platforms. No arrows. It's only made more confusing by the fact that it bounces when you jump on it, which leads you to believe that's the way you're supposed to do it.

Right, basic levels of understanding. I can't even think of another platformer where you actually use up and down for anything else, aside from opening doors.
