Chip's Challenge/Level Pack 2/Levels 81-100

This is a continuation of the walkthrough for Chip's Challenge Level Pack 2. Levels 81 (Just Enough) through 100 (Torch) will be discussed on this page.

Level 81: Just Enough
Only four blocks can be cloned before the teeth will escape from the line of toggle walls, which is why there are "just enough" blocks to do the job.

Move the first cloned block R2U5RD, then the second R2U6R2D onto the ice, and use the other block to stick it in the ice. As this area was not blocked off, this ice rink will allow Chip to collect two of the blocks in this area instead of taking them one apiece, also cutting the return trips drastically. Collect a third block, move it R2U5RD as well, and perform the same thing to lock a second block into the ice. Clone block four and use a spring step to push the block R, which alters the slide delay. To avoid another delay, do not touch the red button, which will release the teeth eventually onto the force floor.

Move the block onto the ice strip, wait 2.5 moves, and then follow it. Continue sliding R, which will pick up the first block, then move D and then R back to the original space, and R to collect the second sliding block. Go back to the start to collect the fourth block, then carry it all the way through to the teleport and step UL, and now move this block onto the suction boots with the thin wall under them.

As there are three tiles on the same square, the thin wall will disappear. This was a key development in the level's route, but eventually the bust erased much of the importance. Collect the suction boots, then step RDL to slide all the way to the west, and clone a glider and slide onto the force floors, awaiting the explosion. When the glider destroys the bomb, slide to the exit. 346 seconds are just enough. {-}

Level 82: The Block Stops Here
In The Block Stops Here, Chip's major challenge is to choose between seven areas with red buttons in them, six of which are deadly!

Run all the way to the southwest teleport and then circle alternately counterclockwise and clockwise through the four rooms, moving U into each teleport, to get the 11 chips in each of the four rooms. Once again, enter from the south to return to the southwest block pyramid, then run 8R to position the loose block.

Step on the entrance to all the chips once, revealing a bomb in each of them, in the order 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 6. Touch the button in the sixth alcove only, which will detonate all the bombs in turn, then run west and nudge the loose block L before collecting the remaining chips from left to right. From within alcove seven, get in the two-space gap between the gliders and run 5R U R 2D 3R L 2U L, which allows one of the gliders to touch the green button for you as you run straight up to the northeast corner with the exit. The clock stops here at 253. {-}

Level 83: Warehouse I
This Warehouse is both smaller and shorter than the behemoth successor located at slot 122. The very tight dimensions, however, make precise maneuvers mandatory to complete the level, and to get the 388 bold time, there must be no mistakes.

Enter the teleport, run down, and move the first block in the two-block barrier below 2D. Resume RULU3RD2R2ULUR3DLU3L2ULD, which allows you to move the block on top of the teleport 2D as well. Teleport back to room 1 and move the block just above you into the teleport, then continue RUR3DLDR to clear this block out of the way. Return to room 1 and now follow the block just to the south into the teleport, then nudge D and send this block into the bombs. With both of the blocks located next to the teleport gone, you can shove the block into the first bomb. With the path to the bombs open, the remainder of the level involves untangling the mess of blocks in the other rooms.

Start with the two blocks on the bottom of the left wall in room 2, then the block blocking the entrance to the next room in the warehouse, and then take the block on the right wall of room 2. Before actually pushing the block down a space and west to the bombs, steal the block on the top of the room and move it 3D, then use the other block. Follow the first block back into the teleport and step UR3UL3DRDL (teleport), and use this block. This leaves you with one block on the east wall of room 2; shove it into room 3, then take it back out to the bombs again. With room 2 cleared out entirely, begin attacking room 3.

Begin with the block in the south-west corner, then take the east block hanging to the top of the room's entrance, and follow with the west block. This leaves three blocks at the top and one at the bottom; shove the block on the far left 2U, circle behind it, and use it. Follow this up with the block in the middle, and with only blocks on the far east wall left in room 3, dive into room 4.

Knock the block lodged in the entrance 2R2D, then use the block to the south and follow this up by using the remaining block in room 4. At this point, you have only two blocks on the east walls of room 3 and room 1. Use the two blocks in room 1 (take time to shove the block on the bottom of room 3 4U when you circle behind one of them) and then shove this block, now in front of room 4's entrance, into room 4 and back out. When it reaches the west wall of room 3, step 3UR2D to prepare the last remaining block for use, and continue pushing the other block. Return and send the last block into oblivion, and finish the level to fork-lift 388 seconds into your stock. {-}

Level 84: Crypts of Aganorak
No, I don't know what AGANORAK is; only the level owner does, and I haven't been successful in finding out even from him. Based on the apparent fictional locations in the levelset, it's probably just made up.

Slide south through the teleport, then move up two rows and run west to pilfer the red key. Run to the very top of the level to escape the ball juggernaut, then slide UD through the teleport and enter the red lock to the east, which leads to a blue wall maze containing fire boots and a section of chips. Well? Take both!

When you emerge from this maze, slide LRL through the teleport (slightly faster than just walking) and run south into the fire maze. Move through the rooms L U L 3D (ignore the hint, you won't need it if you're listening to me!) R U R D R U L, then return to the teleport and step up into it to enter the lower right area. With perfect boosting to date, including this one, you can bust directly through the blue lock and slip just past the bug. You're pretty much free to take the goodies in any fashion you choose - dive into the center after getting 1, 2, 3, or even all 4 of the corner chips. Go back through the teleport, then zip east...and here's where you might need a bit of assistance from Lady Luck.

There's 4 chips on the left, and 9 chips and flippers on the right. You can afford to lose as many as four moves without loss of a second, but try to get back as soon as possible. Return to the start room, then circle around the teleport and enter from the east to swim to the last chip. Slide RL, pass the chip socket, and turn east (as said by the hint in the fire maze), which leads to a block with a buried exit, while the other block has fire under it! Inside the crypt? A treasure worth 426 seconds. {-}

Level 85: Follow the Glacier Brick Road
Like Mads' Rush II, which can take upwards of 1,000 attempts, you could be spending an entire week, or maybe a month, or your whole life, trying to collect this bold. It may be that a significant slice of the highest level of Chipsters will never collect this bold. At this writing, there were only four or five that did, me included.

This is the route:


 * 3R D R 2D 2L U D R D 2L 3D R 4D U R U 2R 2D 2L 2D 2U 3R D L 2R 2D L D 2L U, then backtrack all the way to the chip close to the north-west corner.


 * D 4R 2U R 2U 2L U 2R 2L D 2R 3D R 5D 2L U 2L 2R D 2R D R D R D 2L D R L U 4R 2D 3R U L R D 3L D R 2L 4D 2R D 3R (this is the toughest section) 2U L U D 5R U D 2L 2U R 3L U R U R L D L D 2R 2D 2L 2D. Continue to backtrack all the way to where you run out of visible recessed walls.


 * U L U L 3U 5R 2D L 2R D 3R 2U 3R D L. Backtrack up to the visible pop-up walls, then continue U 2R 2D 2R 4U 2D R D 2R D U 2L U L 2D 2L 3U and follow the visible walls to the exit.

Now, the crunch? The top score of 306 requires 72 out of 72 boosts! That isn't hard except for the fact that several of the important sections require combination boosts with two spaces in between each ice square (such as the 5R move in the "toughest section" label), which are tough to do once, and with more than one in a row, it is a huge feat. And there's twelve of these double boosts in the level. Sometimes they even intersect to make a triple boost.

The more you play it, the easier it gets. All I can say is to move the interchangeable sections around a bit to your needs, and make sure you practice the southeast corner above all! {-}

Level 86: Creative One-Ways
It's definitely creative, and you do have only one way of moving at all times. Your goal in this level is to reach the end of the one-way street and take the green key, then use that key to pass by the obstacles blocking the way back, and then finally to use it to get to the exit, which is inaccessible at this point. You'll want to use odd-step to save an extra move.

Run past the balls, nudge the lower block onto the ice, and sneak past the gliders and tanks to an ice rink. Follow the fireball clones north to the tank button, then step LDLU and slide right to sneak past the tank. Although you probably don't wish to, you have to start cloning the walkers; escape that room and walk past the thief to the bouncing ball below. Wait, then take the four-space slide to the south and run past the block cloners to another thief, and turn left. Wait on this ball to bounce all the way west, then dive into the niche on the right and sneak past the ball as it bounces back west. Wait for this bee to clear out of the way, then take the green key. Now it switches directions!

Wait for the bug to clear away from the green door (as you cannot get the green key, open the door, and retreat to the trap before the bug opens it, and the bug will take four moves longer to circle back to the button again), then open the green door and wait to be released from the trap, at which point you go back to the west and take the blue key. Use this blue key to avoid the ball at the top, and then move to the block room in the center.

Open the green door at the top to clone a block, then shove the block DL (wait) U2LU into the water, and approach the ice room. Take the yellow key, open the door, shove the block into the far corner, and then step DR2U2RU to escape the room. Get the red key and use it to enter the passageway to the far right; touch all but one of the dirt spaces, then emerge back out, having trapped the teeth, and return to the walker room.

Unlock the green button and wait for the walkers to stop, then pass through the tank again and get the suction boots. (If the clock shows anything less than 270 when you pick them up, you're too late for the bold score.) Use the suction boots to hold onto the force floors as the fireballs pass by, then unlock the skates and touch the tank button twice. (You can theoretically slide on the ice, step immediately down off the tank button, and escape the tanks; however, this has been counted out, move-by-move, and it saves no time.)

Wait for the bigger gap in the gliders, then jump down to get the flippers. Swim back to the start, get the fire boots, and push the block right one space. Go to the bottom and go RLRLRL through the ports, then hold down and use the block to stop the first two balls, so that you can (finally!) get to that nagging exit. You score 249 if your luck is good enough; keep trying. Remember that odd-step will be a help.

Level 87: The Walker Machine
This is, to set things straight, the sequel to JUMPING SWARM from the original set. While the original has received a reputation for being extremely hard, that is because the majority of those players don't have a map, which causes them to spend more time looking for the chips and more walkers come into the level. However, The Walker Machine is a lot smaller, and it is a speed level, but one that is highly adaptable to avoid walkers. This is just one of many routes through the level that will achieve 20.8:


 * RDU2DLRLD2R2L3UL3DR3UL3DL3U2LD2RU (danger!) 2LDRDRDLULDRLU2LDRUDL3UD (This clears out the bottom section.)


 * 4URL2D2RULDRULRURLDRDRULDRUUDUDRDRULDRURDRULDR2U (cleared out center) 2LU2RD2LU2RURULRD2LULRD2LRLUDU. Now you have all the chips, so get to that exit up there!

Level 88: Don't Get Lost
Run upwards, wait two moves, and take the chip, then wait two moves to join the ball stream. Teleport down to the lower left and wait two to join this stream, then drop to the bottom and take the chip in the corner. To get to the south of the teleport, move the block aside, then jump into it and move east to another ball stream. Wait two again, then take the flippers and chip to the west. With flippers, you can swim through the center shortcut, then go west into the teleport. Continue moving L4U2L (wait) 3D2L3U2L (wait) 3D4L3UL, and wait for the next clone before cutting across the stream to the south and taking the chip. Wait two moves, then cut across the stream again and take a "shortcut" by teleporting RL instead of going all the way west with the ball stream.

Continue to hold the west key, then join this next stream in time, take the flippers and chip, and swim west to another chip. Take another teleport west, join this stream, and temporarily divert north to slide on the force floor and take the chip. Wait two to return to the stream, then break north at the second path and get the fire boots. Walk through the fire and hold west to reach another section. First, take the chip at the top, then return to the center of the room and zigzag across to the teleport, waiting two moves for the stream at each turn. (No, you don't need that chip.)

Stop for one move before you run smack into the existing stream, then slide around the force floors (always keeping a one-space gap when tailgating a ball on a motorway!) to another chip on the east. Circle again, then break off at the teleport and step 2D2LD5LU (wait) 2URL2D2LD3L3RU (wait), and walk up to the exit. Your 317 seconds have been found again!

Level 89: The Ghetto Defender
Don't just stand there, move! Step 2UR2U4R to sneak past the teeth (even step required!), then run all the way down to a fire boot, east to a green key, and 2U6L4U to safety.

Pass through the glider and walls, take the level's ten chips, and shove the lower two blocks into the water, followed by the second block on the group of three. (The left block is mined.) Ignore the flipper, and just walk through the maze. Step on the gravel, then take the upper ice slide and beat the balls to an ice slide. From the gravel, run 5L4U or any other route necessary to avoid the monsters, noting that you should start running up from at least two spaces away due to invisible walls. Sneak back out of the room, past the bouncing balls, and through the yellow door, which leads to an exit with a trap in front of it. However, you can just barely make it off into the exit to score a time of 381.

This was the first world record time I explicitly developed a route for; the previous record was 379 and took the unnecessary flipper, wasting enough time to not make it off the trap.

Level 90: Marjolaine's Maze
Run all the way to the south wall in the maze below, then turn right and run downwards when possible into a teleport. Slide DUD through it to take the blue key and to take a shortcut through the maze, then walk to the very bottom. Take the upper fork (the bottom pathway is empty) and circle counterclockwise to collect four chips and an ice skate. The red key will not be required.

Slide UDU through the teleport, step over the ice corner to the right, and swap the blue key for a fire boot before turning back to the west. You soon see packs of four blocks; shove the one on the far east up and move the second block on the east 3D12L5D before taking a break to collect the chip on the east. Continue to push the block down to the thief, make a bridge to another chip, and walk out onto the ice thus: 4RU3RD7U8R3D2R, to arrive in a new area. Continue moving R4D3RU, then wait three moves and then step URU, which leads to another chip. Return to the far west fire space and step DL, then run south and east to a green key.

Slide LR through the port, take the three chips above you, and then slide LRL to take the one last chip on the left. The exit is directly to the north...204 seconds await.

Level 91: Tutti-Frutti
Yes, there's a lot of different flavors in this level...You'll be getting pretty much everything.

Step to the right and hug the wall to the right to get the fire boots, then return to the start and cling to the very top of the level around to the lower right corner to take a red key. Now, walk all the way back out, hug the left wall after you pass the blue door pathway, and then drop to the visible red door and take the ice skates. Take the path left of the start, hold to the south, and get the blue key in the ice pool at the bottom. The instinct might be to take the suction boots; don't do that yet. Instead, turn west from the blue door pathway and hug the south wall to reach a flipper. Now, go back to the red door shaft and keep walking east, which will take you to a canal.

Make the first turn east and take 65 of the chips, then walk to the left of the imprisoned ball and continue south to reach the toggle button. This will allow you to reach the circle of gliders in the far south-west corner and commandeer the red and blue keys. Note the exit is behind the green door..

Join the circle again and jump into the teleport, which will give you a shortcut back to the maze. Now go back to the start and take the suction boots, and then return to the red door's location. Just underneath the passageway is another corridor to the east; walk into it and take the yellow key behind the force floor, then try the south passageway, which leads to a yellow key and a fire boot behind a second red door.

Head back to the very top of the level, then take the fork etched into the side of the passageway to the red key and get the flippers. With all the necessary tools, stay on the top wall all the way west to the north-west corner, which holds the final chip. Head towards where the very first fire boot was, but take the eastern fork while on the far west wall, which will lead to the green key behind the chip socket.

Return to the teleport, and as the clock ticks down to 471.2, pass through the teleport and follow the glider circle to the left, where the exit awaits behind the green door. 468 different flavors!

Level 92: Abandoned Mines
The route for this level required a long time to optimize to the limit, which was enough for me to raise the existing record of 456 to 457 and 458 with further refinements in the last section, until more diligent work in that very section from a team of two sent the record up to 459, where it stands.

[Odd-step is required.]

Get the suction boots, open the blue wall on the right, and move 6L2U3L2DL2DRD5U3LUL4R4U2L4R2D5R2UR4LD to collect all the chips in this area. Return to the blob area, where the blobs have hopefully cleared out. Get the flippers and - speed route alert! - step LULU2R and swim north. If you're still here, keep swimming, jump onto the force floors, and override the west force floor at the top. Remove the four chips on the solid land, then jump into the circle below and divert to the west. You arrive in a teeth room.

Waste one move on the north wall, then take the first chip and run 6R5D6LD (wait) 3RD, which will lead to the last and toughest section: the back-and-forth force floor room! The route through this? Step on the ice and then move as follows:

L3R2D (wait) R2DLDUL2D (wait) R3L2U (wait) L2URUDR2U (wait) U, and then slide the ice strip to the left to the exit. It may be that as much as 459.8 could be possible, as the current "benchmark solution" is 459.4 and has two mistakes.

Level 93: Exit Chip
The owner of this level boasts that you will never be able to complete Exit Chip, where it's located in the set where it is taken from. That may be because nothing is how it seems here..

The chip up there is inaccessible; instead step L2D, which will reveal a hidden chip, run all the way east to reveal another chip, and sprint all the way to the north-west corner, which has the last chip. Keep walking east, which reveals a pair of flippers, and then walk into the open passageway in the center of the level. This reveals a bomb and four doors, a chip socket, water, and a block. Keep pushing the block all the way right until you can run north, because another space east is a hidden wall which will make it impossible to move the block west. Move north, then west, and then turn to the east, making sure to stay on the top while moving east due to a bouncing ball. Keep moving down, walk around the bomb, and enter a dodge-ball arena.

Hang to the top all the way to the left (except one space), then walk down, wait, and sneak through. Move to the east, where there is a short thin-wall maze. Don't economize too much - the short way is mined, so walk around the entire maze. Wait one move to avoid being smashed, then slide to the top and get the suction boots in the upper right corner. Backtrack all the way to the lower ball section, uncover a block hidden under the top part of the alcove to the left, and push it east and north to the bomb. Go through the hidden wall to the east of the block and get the four keys past the force floors to the left, then resume pushing the block to the water and open the four doors to clear the way for....what? No more blocks.

How about trying the water space to the left of the bouncing balls? Ta-da! Use that block to explode the bomb, then return to the start and uncover the hidden exit (!) inside the passageway to exit Chip with 388 seconds.

Level 94: Checkerboard II
There are four distinct sections of this level to each side, as well as the checkerboard in the center. Thankfully, this level is much simpler than its predecessor, especially when you use the synchronized balls to speed the process up.

South section: Move six steps to the right, break the wall below you, and hit one of the buttons to free the checkerboard. Shove the second block from the bottom on the far east row D, then resume L2DUL6D and drop the nearest block on top of this block. Shove the lower block 6R and the upper block L, then get the block in the corner of the checkerboard and move it next to the upper block. Move LD3R and return to the checkerboard, where the far southwest block goes left one space, followed by moving 2RURU3R2L. Take this block down next to the block already on the bottom row, then take the block on the bottom row of the checkerboard down to the center row and shove it R. Divert north until you are in front of a block and turn 3RU3R to begin the next phase.

East section: Get the block in direct range to the west and the block hanging to the south, move them to the far eastern column, and shove them respectively 10U and 7U. Follow with the two blocks remaining in the diagonal line at 4U and U, then get on top of the north-east block and step 2DUL2D6RDRU. Now, take the rightmost block remaining on the top row of the checkerboard, move it 2U, then move L3U into another fake wall.

North section: Take the block just moved and stuff it up into the toggle doors, then return to the top row and shove the second block R, followed by D3R2L7URU9L (which places the block at 9L). Exit the upper section due south, shove the block you meet 2D, and then step LDRL3ULULURDRDR. This block belongs at 6L; retreat to the checkerboard and take the loose block on the top row (not the one in the north-west corner), which goes at L on the middle row. Move towards the L formation at the left of the checkerboard, push the block touching its corner one to the left, then move down and left into yet another open wall.

West section: From that wall, move 2R2DRURU and move the accessible block into the middle column, then 12D (2 spaces short of the button) and east one space. Clone one ball (which will oscillate between two spaces due to the block's interference) then go back to the checkerboard and move the nearest loose block up until you can push another loose block right. This block belongs at 3L on the top row.

Now, start collecting the chips; go underneath the block stuffed up and shove it onto the trap button, retrieve the loose block in the north-west corner, away from the checkerboard, and position it on the top row with no side movement. Continue 3L, shove the block upwards onto the trap button and repeat this with the next block. Shove the remaining block 3L once more, get under it and wait a move, then step U2L, which will synchronize the two cloned balls. Open the last trap, then hold to the north wall and take all the chips from the open traps. One trap is still shut; use the block sitting conveniently to the right to open this, take the chip, and exit the north section permanently.

You will now be collecting the chips in a clockwise circle and going to the exit in the west section (there's four of them, but this one is recommended.)

Take the loose block on the right of the checkerboard and move it into the east section, leaving it in front of the flashing toggle doors. Push the block above you up, but stop to stuff the first and third blocks into the toggle doors. Stop the block one space away from the clone button, step LURU to fully synchronize the three balls to change once every move, and clean the chips out from top to bottom. (Step on a toggle button on the way out.)

Now, step two rows down and west to a block perfectly aligned to go south; throw this block all the way down, and then move L and drop this block to the bottom row. Emerge with U3RUR and push this block all the way south, then continue 5U and right to the next fireball cloner and stop this one. Continue to move the remaining block 5R, then block off the cloner below, take the chip, and walk left, removing the chips from the second and third cloners you run past. At the fourth cloner, step on the button to begin a stream of fireballs, then move 4U2L2URLRD, and hold south to block off the stream. Take the chip from it when it's safe to move east, then throw the block above you 8R and down to this cloner for another chip. Run all the way to the left and block out the last cloner to get the last chip in this room. At this point, the fireballs are starting to explode the bombs in the west section. Run directly north, touching the toggle button, then finish the level as follows:

2R2U5L4URU5LUL3D2R2L7DU4DR, hold west for two chips, then move U [2] 2U to the third, [2] 2U [2] U to the fourth, and now take the last two at normal speed. The exit is a bit further north.

This route will yield 776; this is an embarrassing 12 seconds under the current record time. Although 779 has been confirmed, this route is also unknown.

Level 95: Learn
Another very easy level after an epic..Use even-step, please.

Step right and run to the gravel, then east all the way into the teleport. Step on the trap, which will be released shortly, then take the chips and return to the bombed-off room with the teeth in it. Once it kills itself, take the four chips, then go back through the teleport and enter the bug stream. Five spaces down on the right, you can walk directly west to take the eight chips, rather than taking the entire circle. Further to the east is a pair of balls with a yorkhouse to the north; do a little hoping, take the chips, then hang to the west and to the south to escape these balls. Only two simple barriers of balls remain; pass these to learn a new lesson and score 314 seconds.

Level 96: Glider and Fire
Start by dropping the block onto the fire in the corner to redirect gliders north, then sprint all the way north and take the fire boots when the gliders free them. To the east are six blocks all lined up and ready; shove the top one 2L, the second one 8L3D, the fourth one L, and the third one 7L. The gliders are now directed north; move the block UL to allow them to explode the bombs, then continue RD2LULU [1] R, take these chips, and finally move the block 2RD before taking the chips in the east shaft.

The north section is now complete; start directing the gliders south. Continue to move the block 4D2L, which will cause the stream to turn south, and move R2DLDRUR2D to place the first block, and UL3DRDL to direct this stream to the right side, exploding a key bomb to the east. Reopen the path downwards with a R shove, then continue the block 9D [1] and take the two chips. Pick the block up again and continue 4R, then walk directly north and take the chips in the central shaft before you take the last block in the level 10D2R, whereupon you can take the two chips in this shaft.

Continue to throw the bottom and top blocks 5R, taking the chips, until you reach the end of the shafts. When you see no more shafts to the east, continue moving the top block one space further east, then continue 2LD2RURUR and use this block to explode one of the bombs blocking the mass of chips. Go back to the last shaft and take the chips, then sidle the block east a space and run all the way to the north to collect a bundle of chips on the west side. Enter the east room when the bomb explodes and take another 16 chips, then wait for the approaching glider to slip north and sneak past it.

Finish the level by using the last remaining block to access the chips on the far right, then divert to the east, open the socket, and slide U [1] U to reach the exit at 398.

Level 97: Roller Coaster
This level is full of many different obstacles which will take you on a wild ride. Get ready!

Begin by riding the "roller coaster" all the way to the bottom, then take the flippers on the west side and duck underneath the chip socket to get a green key. Go to the very top rung and unlock the door, then stomp on the green button at the very end of the mess of blobs. Travel to the very bottom rung and walk to the extreme south of the level, then swim (you have flippers, so use them!) upwards to the red key behind the now-open toggle door.

Go back to the roller coaster, open the red door, and walk to the second red key. In order to pass this section, you have to open the right doors that will let you recover the keys. Do this by moving 4L2D, which frees another key, then from there 3LU4L2DRD4R2D3L, which swaps for one last key. The clone button is now available; open one last door on the way out, then return to the south-east corner and use the block cloned to blow the bomb guarding the blue key.

Use this key to enter the walker section of the coaster, do a little praying, then run to the tank button and dash out! Perfection isn't required, fortunately. If you're alive, retrieve the yellow key from the southeast, then use it to teleport to a fire maze.

U-turn back north, then U-turn south, and take the first passageway back to the north, which leads to a teleport that shoves you into a little fireball room. (If the clock shows anything less than 303.4 when you step into the teleport, you won't be able to beat the fireball to the block, and you're not getting 265.) Knock the block south, which will divert the fireball into a key bomb, then teleport back to the fire maze, walk all the way back to the other teleport, and return to the south-east corner. As you approach this, you will find that you can now take the chip and slide back out intact. Once you have this, pass the chip socket on the coaster to swim to the exit. This level is worth 265 seconds if anything less than twelve moves were expended waiting for random elements.

Level 98: Loop
Run right and hit the toggle button to release the teeth, then lure them below to the fire. (You can use odd-step, but the extra move will be expended later anyways.) Take that red key, let the teeth die, then take the ice skates from his den. On the right is a red door guarding a blue key, then to the left is a blue door guarding a yellow key. When you have the yellow key, touch the button twice, steal all the chips from the pool, then walk south to a zoo of teeth and a yellow door to the east. Keep pressing to the east, wait for the very last ball, and run onto the random force floors, aiming for the toggle button. Once you're there, exit to the east and step into the open toggle door, then check the clock. If it says anything less than 70, you won't make 37.

If it doesn't or just want to get the 36, take the two keys, open the green door, and take the yellow key. Past the toggle buttons is a blue key up to the top; walk back to the buttons and touch exactly two of them, then open the blue door and walk south and west to take some fire boots. Beyond the socket and the fire is a hidden exit; this is worth 37 optimally.

Level 99: One-Block Sokoban
Blast through the teleport and ram the block on the wall, then walk to the south and hang to the very bottom of the level until the red key is visible above. Take this, pick the block back up, and corner it against the red door at the very top of the level. Step 2DR2UR2L3UR2DLD and move the block all the way east onto the blue key, which nullifies the water space underneath (see level 81 for more details), allowing you to use the block for other purposes. Therefore, do it again!

Return the block to the start, turn it east, and eventually you'll run into a blue door. Move the block to either side, open the door, and destroy the water to take the yellow key. However, you won't be able to move the block out to the side at the yellow door/green key portion, so stow the block to the unused side of the room above the yellow key, go unlock the door, and then push the block onto the green key.

To finish, take the block to the center, collect the remaining chips to the east, and shove the block back to the west to access the exit. 269 seconds for 1 block: good deal!

Level 100: Torch
This may just be one of the easiest three-digit levels in the set. Almost no tricks are necessary to win.

Follow the path of the chips, waiting as needed, except with 54 remaining, whereupon you wait four moves before following the path all the way to the last chip. (This pays off later!) Now, turn back to the start, take the fire boots, and wedge into the exit just to the west. It's that easy! Without the four-move wait, you would be stuck with 344; this route is good for 345.
