Chip's Challenge/Levels 41-60: Difference between revisions

This is a very simple level. However, simple levels tend to be tedious (with this one taking over half the time to complete, leaving you with only 146 seconds). Start by going to the SE quadrant and getting the left chips, followed by the right chips. Go to the NE quadrant and get the right chips, then the left chips. Step on the tank button and get the right chips, then left chips. Go back to the SE quadrant and get the upper left chip, followed by the right chips, then get the lower left chip. Now go to the NW quadrant and get the right chips, then the left. Go to the SW quadrant and get the upper right chip, then the left chips, then the lower right. Hit the tank button and get the left chips, followed by the right. Go back to the NW quadrant and get the left chips, followed by the right. Go back to the center and exit. Noticed the refraction between the top and bottom areas?

This level is very fun. To beat the level, you need to neutralise all random activity, i.e. the monsters. First, go northwest to the bugs. Clone a block and shove it three spaces north of the clone machine. Use three more blocks to get the suction boots and fire boots.

You now need to neutralise the tanks. Go northwest again to another block clone machine. Push two blocks in the water to bridge to the blue button. Press it once and go south. Turn east after the passing the trapped bugs and go north at the intersection. Walk across the forcefield and you will see another block clone machine. Clone and push four blocks into the water. Then use a fifth block to stop the pink balls. Go back the way you came (since you have the suction boots) to the intersection.

One more monster group needs to be neutralised. Get a block from the block clone machine on the east side and stick it in front of the fireball clone machine on the south side. You might have to press the green button once to get out. Go back to the beginning. Then go over the thief to the area with the trapped walkers. Clone a block, push the green button, and push the block into the main area. Wait for any stray walkers to go in the water, then push the block in and go straight to the exit.

There is a much faster way to beat this level, but it requires a cool head and lots of time. Go down to the walker area, clone a block, push it into the water, and run through the walkers. It takes thousands of tries to do it this way, but the dividends are very high (a score of 291 or 292 as compared to 190-200 the long way).

To succeed, you have to stop all the 'monster labs' cloning monsters. To stop the walkers, the toggle door must be closed.

There are two ways to beat this level.

The "long" way: Grab red key. Go down and pick up fire boots and green key. Step up. Go to the left and grab flippers, blue key and chip. step left, go up and grab red key. step right, go up and grab 3 chips and yellow key. return to start and head down force field tracks. Open blue door, get blue key, chip and suction boots. Go up, through yellow door, collect chips, grab yellow key, head for start. Go through doors, through teleport, and choose far left aisle to go up, for a maximum of 204 seconds.

The "short" way: Get the red key. Go down the left side and get the fire boots and green key. Go west across the ice, getting the flipper and blue key. Go back to the top. Now go down the ice on the right. You will splash into some water. Go through the blue keyhole, get the stuff and go through the green keyhole. Touch the green button. Go back the way you came (over the forcefields). Enter the monster area (hopefully, you will survive), and go to the top and left. Go over the recessed wall on the left and exit. You don't need the chips, but you do need to have 222 on the clock to have the top score.

There are seven blocks on this level. You need to push the blocks north from the very south end of the lake. There is only one line that this will work with. That line is marked with Xs below:

 

Block 1: a few moves right from the start. Push down all the way but one and left to the end of the ice slab, but leave it there for now.

Block 2: to the right of here. Push it one UR of Block 1 and push up into the water. Push Block 1 2U R and up into the water.

Block 3: to the lower left. Push 4U 5R and up into the water.

Block 4: to the far left. Push all the way right and up into the water.

Block 5: to the upper left, about at the center left. Push 6D, to the right, and up into the water.

Block 6: at the top, lower of two blocks. Push 10D, right, and up into the water.

Block 7: to the right of the upper ice slab. Push U 4L 12D, right, and up into the water. Get the chips and exit to catch ferry 231.

Get the chip to the north in the walker room. DO NOT get the ice skate. Step onto the top force floor, then off the thief and down two. You will go through the teleport to an ice rink. Again, only get the chip here (off the third force floor from the bottom). You will need the flippers later.

Go up, then push right onto some thieves, then pick up the flippers. Move UL from there. You will end up near a swimming pool. Get both of the chips and use the same technique to get the fire boots. This time approach the teleport from the north. You will be forced into the fire arena. Get the chips, but not the suction boots (they are safer but also a few seconds slower). Repeat this technique, but let yourself go down into the teleport. However, step back up to get back to the flipper area. Get the flippers and go back down through the teleport. ''Immediately'' step left. You will override the up force floor and be forced into the pool again. Go to the exit located off of the swimming pool. You will end the game with only the flippers, but a proud 277 seconds.

Go 3L 3D 6L 4U 8L 4D and get the remaining keys in order as you go to the right. Go down the line of red keyholes in the east as the pink balls attack. Go south over the brown button (it doesn't do anything, due to the lack of a controller) and collect all of the chips. From the nearest chip, go: 4L 2R 3D R 3D L 3D R 9L 3U 5R 3U 5L 3U 3L 5D R D 3L 2R 4D U 5L 3U 2L 2U 4R 2L and up. The exit is in the west. Due to the controller bug, you can escape this level with 162 seconds and no problems.

First of all, if you try to jump in and get the chips, you will end up with a whole lot of bugs and paramecia on your tail. You need to be very fast and go straight through the square or dodge to the side if necessary. This is very simple to do. Dodge to the left (as you are facing the "nest") if it's a bug, or right if it's a paramecia. On the first, third, and ninth squares, enter from the sides, as going straight through can screw things up. Notice that the paramecia and bugs are ''not'' following the chip. There are sixteen chips you need to get. Turn from the start: 2U R 3D L U L D L 3U R 2D R. Run for your life and 318 seconds!

Go to the area south of the teeth monster. When there is a gap in the bugs, go across the forcefield and jump off in the middle. This should cause the teeth monster to press the green button once without you going to the other side. Get out of the bug line and go north to where the fireballs used to go. Go to the top and near the ball cloning the fireballs. Push against the wall above the clone button and return back to the original area. Follow the recessed wall path (pressing the button and getting the chip) and pass through the (empty) corridor.  

Do the same thing you did at the beginning with the teeth monster and bugs. Cross the forcefield to the other side. Go all the way to the north end and go through the recessed wall path to get the final chip. Push the block into the water below and exit, taking your 382 seconds with you.

This level is the first one in quite a while that actually teaches something, despite that half the level is worthless. Simply travel along the fire and water paths to the southeast corner of the arena. Go on the forcefield across the ice and press the button. On your way back, it teaches you that you ''can'' force past a backwards forcefield when you slide on ice (though this has no doubt helped you already). Journey on back to the start where you'll find the exit wide open. You receive 478 seconds for a pass to the next level.

Go to the right and down over the random force floor (if it doesn't work, try again) to get the green key. Go to the right and get the chips. Teleport yourself to the other side and get the remaining chips. Go back to the north end of this area and go in the teleport. Circle around the next teleport and go right, left, and right through the teleports. Keep forcing yourself right and go through the green keyhole to the chip socket and exit. You get 326 seconds for finding the Holy Grail.

Push the block to the east into the bomb. Get the chip. Go north, dodge the tanks and get the fire boot and blue key. Go to the bottom and push the bottom block to the right; get that chip, too. Head back over to the west and walk along the fire to get the chips there. Go through the keyhole and get those chips, too (and the fire boot again). Slide on the ice to the gravel. Dodge the balls and invisible walls to get the five chips there. At the end, push the blocks in on either side of the chip and push the block in front of the chip north or south. Get the final chip and run across the pink balls to the exit. Speed is essential, for you have only 70 seconds left even with the best route.
