Chip's Challenge/Level Pack 2/Levels 141-149

This is the end of the walkthrough for Chip's Challenge Level Pack 2. Levels 141 (Oracle II) through 149 (Key Color) will be discussed on this page.

Level 141: Oracle II
Well, now we're in the last section. And we're at the second Oracle. Ugggh....This is another long one!

Oracle 2 has two sections - the west and east. The toggle doors are open on the west and closed on the east at the beginning, and they can only be switched once. Therefore, complete the west section first.

2R2DR3DR3DRD3R starts the bombs out, and follow with the block to the left, the block in the center, and the two blocks at the start. At this point, go back to the start, shove the first block L, then the block below it L as well, and resume with 4D2LURL3DR2U2RDL3URD and move this block right. Return to this room, lug the three usable blocks into the bombs, and return to the path at the top. Five blocks remain; shove the block in the entrance 2D, then continue 3UR and move that block to the bombs. Return to the central room, move the top block R, and use the lower block, followed by the top block. With two blocks remaining, move the upper block D, and finish with LDRLDRUR3D to allow this block, followed by the other block, to explode the bombs. Now, touch the clone button and move to the east section...

From just above the toggle wall, follow the given route to begin the work: 3RD2R4U2R3D5UR2UL4D2L4D2LU3LU2L2URURU6R, back to the two rows of blocks, and move both blocks U. Finish the lead work with R3D2LUL2U2R2L2D2L2URDRD, and use this first block.

Take the left fork and move the top block L, use the block below you, then push the block in the western shaft R3DL (yes, move that other block R while you're doing it.) Resume with D2RD2R2ULU2L2RU3R2U3L2DU3L2DL2D, use this block, and replace it with the other one. Step D2RD2R3U3L2R2U3L2DLD, do the same thing, and this time continue with 4URURD4R2D2L2R2UR2ULDRD4L2DU2LUL3DLD, then once again replace the block after using it. Again, collect the block on the very top and use the other block, but this time, instead of replacing the block, continue (from the toggle wall) U3RD2RDRU5RU2RD7LDL4U3LDL (now you replaced the block!)D2RD4RULR3U2L2R2UR2ULDRD4L2DU3L2DLD, and this time replace the block when it's used. Again, use the block on the top, and after that, don't replace the block; step U3RD2R3U3LDLD2RD6R2ULRD2L3U2L2R2UR2ULDRD4L2DU3L2DLD, replace the block, and continue with the block on the top, which isn't replaced. From the wall, again move U3RD, then 9R3UR2U2LD6LD3LDLD2RD2RURDR6UR2ULDRD5LULDL3DLD, which is replaced. Finish the level as such:

4U2RDLUL3D, replace the block, 3U3RDRD3L2R2U3L2DLD, replace this block, and take the remaining two blocks separately to access the exit. Use the left block and move the last two blocks one at a time to get to the exit. 598 seconds are prophesied to come upon you.

Level 142: Chomper Romp
[Odd-step recommended...]

There are five sections to this level, four of which contain an army of teeth (one of which is cloned) and four blocks with a chip, a tool you won't need, and teeth (!) under the other two.

The final section contains three separate teeth, which will be led to the center to hold out a series of traps blocking the exit.

Section 1: 6L5U2RDULU4R and north to safety. Walk the path all the way to the far east.

Section 2: From the toggle button, D5L3U5DRL3D and west to safety. Walk the path to the far north.

Section 3: From the toggle button, R5D2LUL (to "oof" off an extra move) 2D6R and south to safety. Expend another move after you take the chip, then walk to the far west.

Section 4: From the button, U5R (see a pattern? :)) 3D5ULR3U and east to safety. From the chip, step 7D to enter the final section.

Section 5: Boost R off the force floor, then 3U2R2L2U, wait two moves, and 4D2LU12LDURU (to wait a move) 12R6D6R (gah!) 3U (to use an extra move) 2D6RU3LD9L2U4L8DR and hold down, while the teeth eventually reach the trap buttons. Tadaa! 518 seconds.

Level 143: Trapped
2R6D4R4L3UR7L. Ding! :)

Yeah, if the paramecium comes out of the cloner, do it again. The paramecium, bug, and teeth are three monsters that require a "boss" to clone. The "boss" in this level just happens to be a blob, and it's in a very tight room, so when it moves east or north after you touch the button, the paramecium is coming out. If it can't, you'll escape. Anyways, you can complete this level in 5 seconds as above, with 495 remaining.

Level 144: Wormwood
The famous level 144, and possibly one of the most difficult solutions to figure out yourself. It's easier than you think it might be, though, and far from obvious. Odd-step is recommended.

Complete the level as such: 4R3D2RU5RD3LD3RD3LD3R2DLULDLU, which allows the teeth out, then 2L2U3LUL2UL3DR2DRURDRU2RU3D. At this point, you can see the goal of this setup: Block what you'll discover later to be a continuous stream of fireballs with the teeth monster, then collect the remaining chips and exit before they can take over the entire room.

Follow the pop-up walls to the block, then step 3L2U4LDRUL to collect the chips, and 6L8ULD to the fire boots. Continue to move the block 7R, then down onto the force floor, which causes you to "oof" off the floor and take the suction boots. Normally, at this point, you would swing the block all the way downwards and stop the glider cloning the fireballs; you won't need that.

Return to the fire room, follow the force floors to another chip, and then emerge back out as the teeth monster has lost its hold on the fireballs. Now, take the chips on the left, and finish with 3R3D4R2U2L2URDR (wait) URD3RU2LR4UR. In the MS version, you get the "win" animation here, so just type in the password you got from level 34 (MAER) to move on. Oh, and did I mention this route is worth 539 seconds?

Level 145: Gauntlet
The level is easy to complete in general once you've figured out how to pacify the teeth, but actually using the route is extremely hard due to random elements at the end (especially because they are at the end after you've expended almost 40 seconds). Odd-step is required.

Step R2L2UR and hold down through the teleport, and reach the gravel, then move 2D3R4DR4UR (to waste a move) 4D11L3U2R to take the chips and fire boots. Now, you have a teeth monster next to you and a teeth waiting in the main shaft. You have to keep him to the far right while you also deal with the one next to you; combine the skills of The One Sensible Chip and Hard as Rock. Step 3R2D2U5L4D, and now bolt all the way west! You're safe. Now do it again on the next pair of teeth. ;) For the third teeth monster, you only need the chips, so you can take those and just walk to the gravel. (Actually, you didn't need the other tools either, but they were in front of the chips, so you had to take them too.)

Touch the tank button, step U3RD2R, and then walk all the way east when the ball clears out. The blobs could be a problem, but that's why it's a tough level. After sliding off the force floor, detour UDUL (oof) DU, which will clone three walkers. What needs to happen for this 458 route to work is:


 * All three must turn south
 * Walker 1 must turn north
 * This must cause walker 2 to turn east. Boom!
 * Walker 3 must cause walker 1 to turn east as well.
 * And finally, the blobs have to be holding down the trap when you step into it! Otherwise, you'll be held to 457.

It's a long parlay, but eventually it should happen. From the clone button, step 2RL3RD5R and hope.

Level 146: Run-A-Muck
This level, objectively, is a lot of different things strung together in a back-and-forth battle, but the way through each one is different every time. Therefore, this level is insanely difficult compared to many of the other similarly styled levels. Odd-step is required (I think.)

The toughest parts are going to be the tank sequence, which will be listed from just east of the trap (the start) when going east and from the 1-space entrance when going west, and the balls in the ice area.

Start the tanks with 3RUR (wait) RD3RDR, east to the ball complex, and wait for the ball on the bottom to bounce onto the wall again, at which point you step DLRU2LD2RU and then collect the ice skates. You could easily move faster, but this route through has been proven to minimize the overall wait time throughout the level. Go back to the tank passage and continue 2LU2LDL (wait) LU and run to the left, then drop to the bottom. Wait for the first ball to move UD, then continue with 2RD2RU2RD and right. Stop for one move, then 5RLR (wait) RD7R to take the flippers, and step back with 5LR5L (wait) 2LU4L (wait) 2L (wait) 2L (wait) 2LU. Repeat 3RUR (wait) RD3RDR, pass all the balls, and pick up the suction boots, and then repeat the 2LU2LDL (wait) LU and west to reach the center section again.

Again, wait two moves, then 2RD2R2U8D2R2D2U2DRD2LUL6U2L to collect a fire boot and a chip. Wait one move, then proceed with and push the block up until you can turn left. Skate back to the trap, and this time move 6RDR (wait) RU2RD, and you can now nudge the block onto the trap button safely. Notice that both teeth are stuck in the upper left corner; this is vital! 4LU3LUL (wait) 2L will allow you through again, and return to the ice room in order to shove the block 4R. This traps the final ball and distorts the harmony of the other balls; resume with U4R2D4RU5R, down through the fire, and past the fireball circle. To the west is a block that has been freed with the last trap button; hold this trap button down (you'll have to wait anyways, and it's not worth your time later to send the fireballs onto the trap button) and now return to the gravel. From the final gravel space, step into the balls with 2LD, all the way west, and straight across the ice strip, and finally over the trap and other stuff behind it.

Move 3DRD off the gravel to pass the circle, then 3DRDR2D, and zigzag UL to get all six chips. To pass the tanks one final time, step off the trap thus: 3RD2RU2R2D, and continue all the way to the chip socket at the far east. Resume stepping 8DL2D, wait a move, then R and hold south to read the hint...."You are almost done!" Finish the level with 2D11R, and then:


 * 1) DL2D3L3UR2D2L, push this block onto the ice, but do not follow.
 * 2) 2R2D2RU2R2U2L4R2D4LDLURU; move this block left and follow it.
 * 3) 7R2URDRD and move this block into the bombs.
 * 4) 10RD2R2U2LULDRD and move this block into the bombs.
 * 5) 10RU3R2U2LUL3DRD and move this to the last bomb.
 * 6) Touch the lower button three times (the upper one does nothing), then walk the southern path to reach the exit.
 * 7) Report a score of 317 seconds to your local newsgroup. :)

Level 147: Cloner's Maze
The hint: "No fast maneuvers or split-second timing required here! Just use your brain."

...which sadly misrepresents the majesty of this level. Yes, there is split-second timing required for fast scores, and the level is ridiculously complicated. This route isn't even the fastest route - a 789 route is in existence, but since I'm not the one who developed it and the owner hasn't released it, I can only provide you with this 781 route.

Clone eleven gliders, walk all the way east and north, and shove the block 2R2U3LU to hold the trap. This allows you to pass the trap, visible from this area, up to the top, where this block moves east to access a green key and chip. With this done, move left to where the glider (facing up) is trapped, then continue west to another glider and release it onto the next trap into the bomb, and then release the original glider. Make two more gliders, release the glider moving left into the next trap, and make one more glider which settles into this trap. Release him and follow him to the green door, open it, and then make another glider to send towards the red button. Once again, make a glider, and then detour to the east and release the fireball, then release a second glider into the clone button, which will clone a second fireball for you to release. With the block having done its job for now, clone another glider and nudge the block north to take a chip before you release it from the first trap.

Follow this glider to the button island, duck west, and release the glider below into the second trap before you run east to a trap button surrounded by water. Pivot north, through the toggle door, and clone five gliders before you take the red key that has just been freed by the meandering glider. Continue east to release fireball three, then step U17LUL to release another glider. This time, however, release the second glider to access the blue key, and then release the upper glider from below the button island. Follow it to the next trap, then step D9R3U to collect another blue key, and 5D5R for a chip.

Continue to walk north, open the red door, and release fireball number four before you return to clone another glider and release it from trap one. Now, return the block to its original position, clone and release another glider, and shift up to the upper left corner, where four bombs can be dispatched with four clones. Touch the tank button twice to cause the tank to switch the toggle doors, then move 4D6RDR4U to take a "shortcut" back to land. Release fireball five, clone a glider, and then push the block up into the corner before you release the glider to the left. At this point, you'll have to follow my instructions to the move in order to succeed at this split-second maneuver: 6R2D (thus pushing against the wall once) 4R3DR (releasing the fireball) R2U5R (releasing the other fireball) 10LU (releasing the glider) 2U2D (releasing the fireball and causing the two monsters to collide.) At this point, you can collect the chip near the start and prepare to finish the level.

Release the first, then the second, gliders from the south-west corner, take the chip, and then take the chip from above the trap button island. Resume with D4R7U2R2D to another chip, then clone and release another glider to the left. Walk all the way to the top of the level, take this chip, and then move east to take the yellow key and the remaining chips to the east. Exit with 2L9D4R2U2L.

Level 148: Neptune
This level has a series of tanks on the sides that cannot be modulated by yourself; something else has to do it. The fireball stream at the top is required, but this can be quite a handful!

Enter the "planet" with 5D9R, then take the chips as such: D2R2D2L3U2L2RDR3DL2D4R2L2UR2U2R3UDLU. One chip is not required, as you see, and you have to do a bit of preparatory work. Finish this area with L7U to block the stream, then 2LU2R to multiply and redirect it. Slide all the way to the bottom of the planet, shove the block you encounter 8D, and continue moving it 8L after the first two fireballs turn left. Above you is a glider-cloning apparatus that requires collisions to work; do so by touching the button, then move RD (oof) L twice, which destroys the two bombs. Dash all the way to the red key, wait for the tank to move, and emerge all the way back out.

On the right side of the level, step on the button and perform the same trick (LD (oof) R) five times, then walk through the corridor. After the first tank, wait 1 move, then run to the top, get in the toggle wall, and wait two moves for the tank to switch, at which point you follow the path through the red and yellow doors to exit the level. 548 Neptunian seconds.

Level 149: Key Color
The grand conclusion to this magnificent level set couldn't have been effective anywhere else. All your skills come together...

Take the blue key on top, open the blue door, and step R2ULD to allow all three blocks to be used one by one. With the red key, move the first block all the way up, then into the water space. The second block (the one west of the red door!) stunts the fireball stream, and the third one stops it completely, allowing you to use block 2 to reach the yellow key. From that door, step 2LDLURU and drop this block onto the first trap, and hold down the trap with block 2 to allow yourself to move block 1 4R. Replace block 1 with block 2, then put block 3 on the button to allow yourself to take the green key. Just be a little careful of the blobs...Move both blocks onto the traps, collect the block on top of the green door, and hold down the button to allow block 1 from the yellow door to reach the water space to the west. You have no further need for the remaining blocks, as you are now in another room of locked blocks.

Open the green door and go ULURD, then take the block north, west, and south to remove the first water space. Run west to remove the chip from the block's path later, and then swap the walls and return to the green door blocks. Push the left block 2D and the other 2R, then move D6L to open a pathway for later. Now, move the other block into the toggle door maze with 5U6L, swap the walls, then move the block 5L before switching again. Collect the chip at the top, the chip in the north-west corner, and push the block DL before you switch the walls again to reach the chips and key. Now, you can lug around three more blocks.

From the yellow door, move 2L2UR2DRD7LULD4R2URDRD6L, and continue pushing 4L, then follow with the red key and the six chips. Now, shove the block back out (6R), then move 10D to explode a bomb, and take the block 3R4L2U into the teleport. Follow it immediately, step L, and wait a little before you continue with R and return to the red door in the locked-blocks room. Take the block on the top and shove it into the teleport as well, then step R to position this block (and dodge!) before you wait to step 2L. Continue with ULD4UR2U2DR5DURD4UDR3U to collect the chips in this area, then 3DR3D2LD to escape the room. Now, move the loose block on the far south R, then continue URU and move this block 7L and south to the second bomb. With all the chips free, take all of them (the blue key won't be required) and move the last block from the red posse 6R2U.

Continue with 2UD3UL2U2D2R2UR2UL2U2L3D....and finish the set with R! Provided the blobs aren't being fussy (you can lose two moves waiting for the blobs at the final push, and omit the 2-move DU wait before you dash to the chips), your score is going to be 408..and that's all, folks!

Remember that CCLP3 isn't far away, and that there are still secrets to be discovered...
