Config: CloudStep

A cloud platform that can be stood on using the Bee or Cloud power-ups. If the player does not have any of these two power-ups and steps on the platform, it will temporarily disappear. When Ground Pounded, it will temporarily disappear as well, no matter what power-up is currently active. The platform remains stationary or moves on a path.
