[[Image:Chips Challenge Level Pack 2 Flame Boy.png|thumb|right|Level 121, time limit 300, no chips. Put a little spring in your step this time...you'll need it.]]

In ''Flame Boy'', Chip can move the fireball through the level to access the further stages, which is instructive, but instead ''Flame Boy'' teaches about the value of the spring step.

''FLAME OFF'' - 283 seconds.

==Level 122: ''Warehouse II''==

Start by entering the north room and throwing block 5 4U, block 2 U 5R, and block 1 4D U 2R, and then block 2 2U, block 6 3U 5R, and block 2 out to button 3. In stage three, move block 7 L, block 6 2U, block 4 2R, and block 3 U 3R, then move the loose block 6 R off button 8 and run 2U, and out to block 8, wedged between the areas. This belongs U, and then move to the west room.

As Chip walks around to block 14, move block 11 2U, and on the way back over, move block 13 2L and block 15 R. When you can turn north from moving block 14, shove it L 3D 6U L; Chip will use this maneuver for all the remaining blocks in the west room. Start as such by circling around the top of the west room, moving block 13 D and using block 15. When you can turn north, move the block back L, then go back to the north room, pass the buttons, and shove block 8 3L, then do some more work here: Take block 3 2U, block 7 4U 3R under it, and drop block 3 onto button 6, then move to the center, throwing the block 4R. At this point, block 15 in the 4-way intersection will use a similar method to the L 3D 6U L: simply 3D 6U L, as the L has already been performed. After this, go back to the west room and take block 13 out, moving it L when you can. Next, carry block 14 4R D 5R 5D, then return to the north and move the loose block from button 6 to button 1, and perform more work: Shove block 4 L, drop block 7 onto button 6, and then return to the center, shove the block 4R, and again use 3D 6U L before returning to the west room.

Now, move through the straight passageway, carry block 11 out, move the northeast block 4R again, and only ''then'' knock block 11 back L. Enter the area where block 14 is jammed and sidle it 7L for use below, then carry the northeast block D 5R 5D to replace it. Walk straight through the north room, moving the block from button 6 to 5, and use 4R and 3D 6U L in the same way. Take the straight path to the top of the block room, drop block 10 L, block 9 U, and use block 10, ready to intercept block 9 on the next run. Again, use 4R and then L, then carry block 14 10D 6R for use in the second button room. Replace this block with the next one 7L, then that block with the northeast one, and walk straight through the north room and use 4R and 3D 6U L again.

Start with block 8 2L, then block 4 2U 3R, block 8 R 4U, and with no further need for the passage, move block 4 to button 6, and block 8 to button 2. Exit the room, move the block in the way 3R U 4R, then move a block 10D and enter to the east. Nick the loose block U, the new block 6R, then move URD2RUL, replace with 7L, and before replacing with D 5R 5D, enter the east of the north room and finish the puzzle. Return to the center, jam the one remaining block 10D, and then move a block from button 3 to button 2. Move the new block 7R, take the last block from above and jam it 7L ''and'' 10D, and then walk in to finish.

Of the movable blocks, run block 1 R, block 2 L, and block 6 5L, then block 2 RUL onto button 3, and with block 1 out of the way, Chip can circle around to the other three; move block 1 6R and around, then U onto button 4, and then blocks 6 and 5 onto buttons 7 and 6. This ends it - go to the center and exit to collect the 451 hours...oops, seconds. It took that long! :)

[[Image:Chips Challenge Level Pack 2 BlockSlide.png|thumb|right|Level 123, time limit 800, 18 chips. When has skating become so diff - *CRASH!! &$@^(&@*]]

It's possible that this is not just in the tough area of CCLP2, but actually ''the'' toughest non-random bold in the entire set. You will not need superhuman boosting skills as in ''Follow the Glacier Brick Road'', but instead you will need superhuman timing skills, as well as a computer, a CC copy, a week alone, and...well, maybe another week. Sorry!

''BlockSlide'''s structure is very unconventional, as it requires Chip to actually catch blocks as they are sliding on ice, sort of like a soccer game. The trouble is when more than one block is used; slide delay will make the level painful in more ways than one! Even one block at a time can be extremely annoying, as Chip ''must'' get the timing exactly right on every turn to survive. Four blocks are necessary; this route will use five clones, as the unused block 1 will alter the slide delay in Chip's favor. For easier routes, simply take one block at a time, as this removes slide delay from the equation.

At the beginning, the cloning is as follows: D [1/2] DUDUDU [1 1/2] DU [1/2] 2D. From here, skate over 8R, and spring step [1/2] DU as blocks 4 and 5 suddenly return, keeping Chip out of danger from block 3. Continue R [1] DUR to knock out block 5, then move 2D as a spring step as block 3 comes through; block 2 can be caught directly with LU. Continue R 3U L, then L, and then move R to shove block 2 R, then drop back LD and move block 5 R as well, and then R again to catch block 3.

One space away from the wall, step 2D to catch block 5, then skate 2U R, catch block 2, and then move [1/2] DL (as a spring step) L 4D R (catches block 5) 2D and wait for block 2 to hit itself on the wall. To avoid being hit by block 3, Chip must use a spring step RL; he can then continue to follow 8R D, then [1/2] UR as another spring step, sending block 2 north and south. Slide delay is noticeably taking its toll on block 5; to catch it, move at 783.8. To free the chips, skate R 4U 2L [1/2] RU (spring step). When coming back out, block 3 can be seen sliding; catch it directly from column 3, then sprint over column 2, barely catching block 2 to the west. When it returns back to you, move it into the central bomb (this is as a spring step) for the best effect.

Run to the left side; at 769.0, block 4 is visible. Run it L, then skate U 4R and directly catch it D. To finish the chips, skate: L5D, then RU spring step, 3L [1/2] DL spring step, 5D, and then R as a normal move. Wend your way back through the level all the way to the strip on the extreme right of the level, and when the clock comes to the end of 752, block 3 can be seen coming down. This will be used to reach the exit: move it ''L'' off column 3, as moving it R will not allow Chip to throw it south in time, forcing him to wait longer, and then drop it U onto column 1 and skate 6D R [1/2] LU spring step, and L 2D [1/2] UL spring step, and 4D 4R naturally. This last move will drop Chip to the exit with 746 seconds.

==Level 124: ''Paramecia''==

Follow the path to the ice skates, which includes a ''Russian Roulette'' sliding bullet, then jump behind the paramecium with the red keys and move 3U LD 2R 4D and up through the teleport, which is a convenient shortcut. Open the rest of the locks to the east, dodge to the west at the end of the path, and then switch to the right side when the paramecium moves up. When it moves away, take the fire boots and follow the ice path to the suction boots. You can also collect the ice skates at the very start by simply jumping back U, but without fire boots, you can't get back through.

Skate back to the center, hiding on the gravel as the paramecium slides by, then skate through the center area, waiting again, and then run to the very top to take the fire boots. Hide as paramecia close in: 3L D and on the gravel, then sneak out to the west and return to the teleporting paramecium near the start. Climb two rows to the next rung on the right, then L 2U L, and Chip can now exit with a time of 228.

Because there is no boosting in Lynx, the ice slide at the beginning makes ''Paramecia'' unsolvable in this mode.

==Level 125: ''Blocks 'n Bombs''==

Go directly over to the red button in the bug circle, then move the block DRL to trap the bug in a 2x1, and now clone another block to stuff him in a 1x1, allowing Chip to collect the goodies under the block including the last chip. Move the free block against the sockets, then remove the sockets on the right, move the block to the teleport and follow it, and move it U to stop the fireballs cloning. After the last two sputter out, you can reach the exit with 232 seconds remaining.

==Level 126: ''Dodge''!==

Zigzag DRUR to the ice skates, then move 2D 2L and repeat ULDLULDLD. Halfway done...continue [3] D 3R [1] D [1] U 3R [1] D [1] UR 3D. For the last area, step 3L DLU 3L 2D LR 2D, which will send you on a long ice slide to the exit located just under you, and no more dodging! It's 156.

==Level 127: ''Escape from Chipkatraz''==

[[Image:Chips Challenge Level Pack 2 Fantasy Island.png|thumb|right|Level 128, time limit 400, 264 chips. A ''real'' fantasy island would be without that glider clone machine!!]]

This island contains many, many chips, and also a glider clone machine which slowly adds more and more gliders. There is a block available to stop it, but you won't need it if you watch how you collect the chips. There are many, many possible routes through without stopping; a sample route is shown below.

Collect row 23, U 4L, across row 21, and zigzag DRUR to collect rows 21 and 22, then pick up the edge of rows 20 and 19 and zigzag ULDL, collecting all of these rows. Continue to run east and west for rows 18 and 17, then with gliders messing around near you, walk as such: U 2L ULURUR 2D 2R D. Pick up the remainder of rows 16, 15, 14 and 13, and then 12 and 10 around the block on row 11, removing the chips here as well - except for the extreme right column on rows 12 all the way up to 6, which will be the finishing run.

As most of the gliders are deflecting off the chip in front of the socket, never passing row 13, with very few exceptions which can be dodged in almost all routes, Chip is generally free to take the remaining nine rows in any pattern. When you finish, coming across the far eastern column, take the flippers and swim around to the exit. 336 seconds have become a reality.

==Level 129: ''Miscellaneous''==

[[Image:Chips Challenge Level Pack 2 Frozen Birdbath.png|thumb|right|Level 130, time limit 400, 51 chips. Do you ''really'' want to touch those chips now that you know you're in a ''birdbath''?]]

In this small ice diamond, Chip moves through hidden recessed walls, hidden ice spaces, blue walls, and some force floors, to collect 51 chips. As there is no convenient way to describe such a route otherwise, only the directional notation is shown:

[[Image:Chips Challenge Level Pack 2 Time Bomb.png|thumb|right|Level 131, time limit 300, 3 chips. So explain this to me again...if you hit the bomb, time explodes?]]

Specifically, ''Time Bomb'' looks like it will require eight blocks to complete due to the nature of the glider's left turns and the fire through which it must move, and Chip only has four blocks available. The trick is to reuse some of the blocks, meanwhile keeping the glider occupied.

Now, clone a glider in the southeast, and then push blocks 4 and 3 3D and 3D, 5L and 7L, and U (to intercept the glider north) and 21U. Now, this block is ready to turn the glider west towards the exit, but Chip must first move block 1 3U to redirect the glider UR into the "time bomb"; otherwise, he will die by moving D. Run back out, as the glider will be directly behind you, and move block 3 into place, which allows the bomb to detonate. Chip can now exit with 241 remaining.

==Level 132: ''Captured''==

''Mouse route for 250'': Run over the sinking floor, move block 2 R, block 3 3U for later use, and block 2 U to reach block 1. Flick this out a total of 3D, and now use block 3 to bridge to the main section, while intercepting block 1. Stick this in the main section 3R D 2R 2D 5L 2D 2L, then circle back through the water maze, move the block U, then run RU and *D. When you make such a mouse maneuver, make sure to hit the keys hard in order to override the mouse, otherwise Chip will continue going in the direction he was directed to.

Follow this route through the rest of the level from where the mouse click moves Chip down: LDLUL 2U RDRD *D LDL 2U RU *U LULD [1] DRD *U LUL 2D RD *U LUL 2D RD *D 5:[LDL 2U RU *D]. Chip approaches the exit, and in this case, move slightly different towards the exit: LDL 4U RU *D, then move the block into the water below the exit and exit the level.

{{-}}

==Level 133: ''Block Maze''==

Free yourself with the given two blocks, then and move the block into the second water, then continue with D 2R 2U, around to the gravel, and step ''DR'' onto the gravel rather than RD. Follow with RU [1], then step into the bugs and collect the 12 keys, which will be used throughout the level's area. One dirt, U off gravel 1, is left behind to block the bugs from running through the corridor and interfering with other parts of the level. From the keys, collect the three chips on the left of the ball room, then 2R and collect up, 2L and open the yellow lock to the paramecium room.

Start with 2L 4D 3R-D, use blocks 9 and then 7 and 2, and move block 6 D on the way to using block 8, which will redirect the paramecia around it. Immediately erase block 1, then drop block 3 D and use block 5, and use blocks 2, 6 and 3 individually. The subtle rearrangement will allow Chip to avoid ''any'' clashes with paramecia.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Clone block 1 and push it onto the green button, which frees all use everywhere else, then block 2 and move it 5U 4L to water 1, and a third 5U 7L 3U to water 2. Touch the button twice, then take block 4 to water 2, swap walls, and drop the block west onto the next water and leave the dirt. Now, switch the walls back and take block 5 to water 2, switch the walls ''twice'' and put block 6 3L off water 1, and now move block 5 RD off the dirt, pass the dirt and switch the walls, which allows Chip to keep moving the block. Drop this 3D LD, switch again, and now move the block southeast. In this type of situation, Chip wishes to switch the walls in order to ram the block off; do this twice, but Chip can click *L on the second push, which will save one second in the end.
