The Bugdom strategy guide mentions that the giant feet in Level 4 follow a set pattern, and this is how I remember it working as a kid - you could take a look at where they were stepping and make a mental note of where to avoid.
In this port it seems to be a lot harder to avoid them, because their path varies slightly with every step. If you spend enough time in the level, they become so out of sync that they'll sometimes overlap with one another completely.
It's possible I'm just remembering incorrectly and this was always an issue, but I'm wondering if something is slightly off with the timing.
