The digits are always green if the time limit is between 16 and 999, except if [[Monochrome mode]] is enabled; in that case, the digits for the level, time limit, and chips left will always be yellow. When the time reaches 15, a click is heard and the display turns yellow, with every further second continuing to click until the timer reaches 0, which is equivalent to any other death and accesses the [[death message]] of ''Ooops! Out of time!''. When playing [[Knot]] and [[Joyride I]], each with [[bold time]]s of 6, a [[Chipster]] can often be caught out. As the last level in most [[custom level set]]s will cause the [[Termination Glitch]] if completed, a [[dummy level]] often ends a levelset by not allowing Chip to finish it within the time limit. | ||
If there is no time limit, specified by typing ''0'' into the time limit field in [[level editor]]s, three yellow dashes cover the display for the entire duration of the level. In [[Tile World]], the time limit display is always in the same white color and allows for higher time limits (see Mechanics), but still specifies dashes as no time limit. In [[Chip's Challenge 1|CC1]], 29 levels were untimed, and in [[Chip's Challenge Level Pack 2|CCLP2]], all levels were modified to timed levels, which allowed for a score of higher than 6,000,000. The [[Charter Chipsters]] set themselves towards the "[[quest for 6,000,000]]" as their CC1 scores moved closer to this goal, but it is all but clear that this is impossible in CC1. | If there is no time limit, specified by typing ''0'' into the time limit field in [[level editor]]s, three yellow dashes cover the display for the entire duration of the level.
