The super jet-pack is an upgraded version of the proto-pack. It flies higher and much faster. After the upgrade, the super jet-pack can still be used as a proto-pack.
After Baldino and Twinsen crash the spacecraft in Otringal , Baldino tells Twinsen to go get a can of GazoGem to repair the ship and upgrade the proto-pack. Once Twinsen does so, Baldino finishes the supero jet-pack, which allows Twinsen to cross the river behind the casino, to access the upper city of Otringal, which couldn't be accessed before, because the elvators were out of service.
