I have a couple of the old style SNES consoles that have died on

in handy.

I'm having trouble crossing the lava.  I've knocked down one statue
with a plant bomb, but can't throw the bomb far enough to reach the
statute on the far side.  I also tried to jump across the lava to the
first statute while holding the bomb, but I can't jump while holding
