The '''Spirals corruption''' is a [[glitch]] in some versions of [[Chip's Challenge]] which concerns an alternate version of [[Spirals]] with one small difference. At [[grid]] coordinate (29, 13) is a [[thin wall]] instead of a [[floor]] space, which causes a ''much'' harder level worthy of a 5 star luck rating. | The '''Spirals corruption''' is a [[glitch]] in some versions of [[Chip's Challenge]] which concerns an alternate version of [[Spirals]] with one small difference.

The cause of this alternate level is theorized by [[Ruben Spaans]] to be a result of the conversion between [[MS]] and [[Lynx]], which caused the [[Transparency Glitch]], [[boosting]] and [[Controller and Boss Glitch]], among with most of the other current glitches known. The programmers appear to have done very little playtesting in the MSCC emulation, and found that Spirals was exceedingly difficult because of the different rules of [[walker]] movement in MS. Although they edited the level, some copies of Spirals, generally found in Windows Entertainment Pack 4 versions of the MS Chip's Challenge, never received the edit. | The cause of this alternate level is theorized by [[Ruben Spaans]] to be a result of the conversion between [[MS ruleset|MS]] and [[Lynx]], which caused the [[Transparency Glitch]], [[boosting]] and [[Controller and Boss Glitch]], among with most of the other current glitches known.
