The [[DAT]] format invented for MSCC inadvertently exposes this arrangement to level designers, allowing a level to have ''any'' two tiles stacked atop one another. The game wasn't designed to handle two actors or two static tiles in the same cell, so various unusual effects may occur.

[[MS]] also has the [[clone block]], used to indicate the direction of a block cloner. This is a tile in the sense that it can be placed within a level, but it exists as an editing trick and is not intended as a distinct game element. In all other [[ruleset]]s, dirt blocks have a direction like every other moving object, so a separate clone block is unnecessary. | [[MS]] also has the [[clone block]], used to indicate the direction of a block cloner.

These tiles are possible to place in a level due to being a part of the [[DAT]] format, and only exist as placeable tiles due to quirks of the implementation. Most of these tiles with graphics behave the same way a [[wall]] does, with Swimming Chip behaving closer to an extra player in a level. | These tiles are possible to place in a level due to being a part of the [[DAT]] format, and only exist as placeable tiles due to quirks of the implementation.
