'''Block slapping''', '''block-slapping''', or '''blockslapping''' is a mechanic concerning [[block]]s, usable only in the [[Lynx ruleset|Lynx]] and [[Steam ruleset|Steam]] versions of [[Chip's Challenge]], and in [[Chip's Challenge 2]]. | '''Block slapping''', '''block-slapping''', or '''blockslapping''' is a mechanic concerning [[block]]s, usable only in the [[Lynx ruleset|Lynx]] and [[Steam ruleset|Steam]] versions of [[Chip's Challenge]], and in [[Chip's Challenge 2]]. | ||

In this cut from [[Zartacla]], using Lynx rules, Chip can get block 2 off the [[fire]] space without being killed, and therefore exit the level in a total of five seconds. Chip would come onto [10, 0] playing through the level as normal, and when he moves D, within half a move the L key is also hit. The combination of this is such that when Chip moves 2D, block 2 moves L, such that block 3 or 1 links to its [[dirt]] and Chip can exit the level. Note that if the exit and hidden fire were on row 1 in the above diagram, and there was a wall above [10, 0], this would be impossible to do. However, block slapping could be performed by running vertically instead. | In this cut from [[Zartacla]], using Lynx rules, Chip can get block 2 off the [[fire]] space without being killed, and therefore exit the level in a total of five seconds.

Note that, because Chip never enters the tile underneath the block, said tile remains unchanged; for example, [[item]]s would remain uncollected, and [[lock]]s would remain unopened. The latter example is an interesting case, because while Chip needs the corresponding key, he retains the key after the block slap. Also note that real [[blue wall]]s and [[hidden wall]]s are considered enter-able until revealed, even though they can never actually be | Note that, because Chip never enters the tile underneath the block, said tile remains unchanged; for example, [[item]]s would remain uncollected, and [[lock]]s would remain unopened.

This allows blocks to be flicked off those tiles almost exactly like in MS. | ||

Block slapping is required to solve [[Two Sets of Rules]] when playing in Lynx. It is also required to solve several Lynx-only levels in [[Chip's Challenge Level Pack 2 (Lynx)|CCLXP2]]. | Block slapping is required to solve [[Two Sets of Rules]] when playing in Lynx.

Since CC2 has only one ruleset which supports block slapping, its first community pack, [[CC2LP1]], included many more levels that require block slapping to either solve or get the full level bonus. | Since CC2 has only one ruleset which supports block slapping, its first community pack, [[CC2LP1]], included many more levels that require block slapping to either solve or get the full level bonus. Five levels require it: [[Blocksmith]], [[Point Nemo]], [[Aquatos Sewer System]], [[Bigger Boulder Alley]], and [[The Girl Who Was Left Behind]]. | ||
In addition to this, several other official levels, including [[Zartacla]] and [[Reticulating Splines]], are busted due to block slapping. | In addition to this, several other official levels, including [[Zartacla]] and [[Reticulating Splines]], are busted due to block slapping. | ||
