* [[Monster Lab]] (''major''): Chip can sneak through the stream of [[walker]]s around the [[exit]], though this requires an immense amount of luck. In Lynx, since walkers are no longer random, it was long thought that a different bust was needed, meaning that Chip would use [[block slapping]] to shove a block off the [[fire]] barrier to completely stop the walkers from cloning. However, in December 2023, it was discovered that the same bust exists in Lynx, using precise movements instead of a reliance on luck to sneak through the walkers.
* [[Hidden Danger]] (''major''): Chip can exit via teleport with no chips required in either ruleset.

In Lynx, since walkers are no longer random, a different bust is required: Chip can use [[block slapping]] to shove a block off the [[fire]] barrier to completely stop the walkers from cloning.
* [[Invincible Champion]] (''major''): One bug is pointed the wrong way and in the wrong [[monster order]], disrupting the intended structure of the level where Chip aims [[glider]]s into the bugs to disperse them; the different treatment of monster movement in Lynx means this solution is required.

* [[Mix Up]] (''major''): Chip can use the ice strip around the outside to bypass an entire [[block pushing]] section. This bust saves the most seconds in any CC levelset to date. <!---May change with [[Yet Another Yet Another Puzzle]]--->

* [[Graduation]] (''minor''): Chip can release a teeth into the teleport towards the end, then click on the other teleport while the teeth attempts to enter it such that he slides across, reaching its other side two seconds quicker.

* [[Booster Shots]] (''major''): Through a currently banned usage of the Twice Step Glitch, it becomes possible to beat the level in a similar fashion to the Lynx setup. The fastest known setup saves seventy seven seconds in comparison to the current bold time.

* [[Maze of One Way]] (''major''): Chip can override a force floor next to the suction boots.
* [[Maze of One Way]] (''major''): Chip can override a force floor next to the suction boots.
* [[The Parallel Port]] (''minor''): The [[suction boots]] are unnecessary as Chip can backward-boost off the [[force floor]].
* [[Security Breach]] (''major''): In MS, Chip can simply hold open the [[trap]] with a [[block]]; in Lynx Chip can place a block at (10,6) allowing both [[computer chip|chips]] to be collected safely.
* [[Planet of the Teeth]] (''minor''): In both modes, the red [[key]] is not required; in MS, neither key is needed.
* [[Quad-Boot]] (''minor''): In both modes, some [[water]] tiles can be left unfilled as Chip has the [[flippers]]. In MS, the [[suction boots]] are not needed to due boosting.


* [[BuggyWall]] (''minor''): A green lock was substituted accidentally for a yellow one, so the yellow key is not required.

* [[Just Enough]] (''minor''): One section of the ice rink is not blocked by [[invisible wall]]s, such that Chip can use three blocks to trap two of them inside the rink using the previous block, allowing Chip - with correct timing - to catch the blocks as he slides past that section rather than slide all the way back to the [[clone block]] each time.

* [[Island Hopping]] (''major''): It is possible to use the cloned blocks to direct the [[glider]]s into the [[bomb]]s instead of building all the way down.
* [[High Security]] (''minor''): The yellow [[key]] and the [[block]] at (12,1) are not needed as Chip can use the block at (0,15) to explode the [[bomb]]. In MS mode, it is also possible to release the [[teeth]] to explode the bomb.


* [[Blocks 'n Bombs]] (''major''): Chip can push a block through the [[teleport]] and use this to terminate the cloning [[fireball]] stream guarding the exit, rather than use the block reached in the level's final section.

* [[Wormwood]] (''major''): By leaving specific chips in the starting room untaken for a period of time, Chip can keep the continuous stream of fireballs muzzled long enough by the teeth in the room for Chip to exit.

* [[Key Color]] (''minor''): It is possible to manipulate the [[fireball]]s in such a way that the [[clone machine]] does not need to be blocked, saving two [[block]]s.

* [[Dangers of Fire and Beasts]] (''minor''): Some [[red button]]s hooked up to teeth clone machines can be pressed since it is possible to kill the teeth later, but only if one of them is released south from a [[trap]] when it was facing west originally.

* [[Trapped]] (''major''): The paramecium may not always clone in time to block Chip from collecting a [[blue key]], because its boss is a [[blob]].
* [[Trapped]] (''major''): In MS, the paramecium may not always clone in time to block Chip from collecting a [[blue key]], because its boss is a [[blob]]. A different bust exists in Lynx - the [[bug]]s can be led up to the [[green button]], allowing the blue key at (24,18) to be collected.

* [[Flame Boy]] (''major''): Chip can use a [[spring step]] to minimize time spent under the control of the force floor at [0, 1], keeping a block next to him just long enough to use the [[Headbanger Rule]] and leap into the exit. This applies to the boosting changes as well, but its other elements are otherwise uncategorizable.

This applies to the boosting changes as well, but its other elements are otherwise uncategorizable. In Lynx, a [[block slapping|block slap]] can be used to push the block onto a [[green button]].

* [[Madness I]] (''minor''): Chip can push one block through the [[teleport]], then use the explosion delay to [[partial posting|partial post]] and reach the exit.
* [[Chase Race]] (''major''): With perfect timing, Chip can re-enter the teleport at (30,29) just as the [[bug]] enters the teleport at (26,1), allowing Chip to skip to the exit.
* [[The Ghetto Defender]] (''minor''): The [[block]] section is slightly easier due to block slapping of the block with a [[bomb]] under it.
* [[Marjolaine's Maze]] (''minor''): All the blocks in the upper part of the level can be pushed, allowing a slightly quicker route.
* [[Tricks]] (''minor''): Due to block slapping, the [[brown button]] at (23,14) can be held down by the block at (24,14).


* [[Zartacla]] (''major''): The [[hot block]] guarding the exit can be sidled L by block slapping, opening the exit immediately from the start.

* [[Axis Point]]
* [[Dumbbell Dichotomy]] ''(major)'': In MS, with favourable walker luck, it becomes possible to use [[cross-checking]] and push a block through the ice corner to blow up one of the bombs.
* [[Axis Point]] ''(major)'': In MS, it is possible to press the toggle button from (19, 14) while keeping the teeth on the trap button at (19, 6), avoiding majority of the itemswapping.

* [[Practice to Perfect]] (''minor''): The player can fill in (3,27) instead of bridging all the way to the left side. The player can also bring a key from that corner to the [[ghost]] section, or 2 keys if the player bridges to the left anyway.

* [[Deadmeat]] (''minor''): Chip still has [[flippers]] after clearing the [[glider]], so the block does not need to be used to remove the water.
* [[Hired Hand]] (''minor''): There is no socket in the level.

* [[Objectification]] (''minor''): In the middle section with the blue button, Chip with the ice skates can press the blue button quickly enough to allow the bugs to reach the bombs. The intended solution is for Chip to drop the ice skates, slide along the ice, and have Melinda pick the ice skates up so Chip avoids them.

* [[How to Item Drop Like a Champ]] (''minor''): A number of rooms have alternate solutions involving fewer resources, but perhaps the most significant is that, in the ice and railroad room, the paramecium can be directed to the bomb by dropping the fire boots in the first column, rather than each successive column to the right.
