In some circumstances in MS, items can be erased without Chip picking them up in some circumstances. The [[Non-Existence Glitch]] at the start of the game can remove them, or generally, other moving objects which pass over squares containing items on the lower layer of the [[grid]]: [[monster]]s erase any item on the lower layer of any square they enter, and Chip and [[block]]s will only erase items on the lower layer if the upper layer contains a non-[[floor]] tile which was not removed by the passage of Chip or the block. Such tile combinations are [[invalid tile|invalid]], rendering such levels unplayable in Lynx.

Most of the original properties of items apply in [[Chip's Challenge 2]]; however, the sequel also included multiple new items and mechanics. If the player attempts to pick up a fifth item, the first item in the player inventory is dropped to accommodate the new item. Players can also choose to drop the first item in their inventory ('Q' on the keyboard by default), and rotate through the items in their inventory ('C' on the keyboard by default) to change which item is next to be dropped.

New in CC2, players can also choose to rotate through the items in their inventory ('C' on the keyboard by default) and drop the last item in their inventory ('Q' on the keyboard by default).  
Monsters and blocks can kill the player while the player is standing on or is about to walk onto an item, even if the item (not the [[terrain]]) normally prevents the monster or block from doing so. In Lynx, items do not behave differently in these circumstances.


Another new mechanic in CC2 is certain [[monster]]s ([[ghost]]s, [[rover]]s and [[player mirror[[s) and items (dropped [[time bomb]]s) maintain their own inventory (separate from the player inventory) and can also pick up items. In many cases, monsters can then use these items as the player would. All monsters have the ability to pick up [[blue key]]
Another new mechanic in CC2 is that ''all'' [[actor]]s have their own inventory, and certain ones — [[ghost]]s, [[rover]]s, [[player mirror]]s, and [[bowling ball]]s — can pick up and use items as the player would. Those not intended to pick up items can still be given items by way of [[Item Bestowal]].  Every actor's inventory works the same way, dropping the first item when a fifth is picked up, though only player characters have the ability to manually cycle and drop items.


The solution to a number of CC2 puzzles involve strategically dropping items or passing items to monster inventories, allowing monsters to solve portions of the puzzle on the player's behalf.

CC2 also features two types of thieves. [[Item thief|Item thieves]] steal items but leave keys unharmed; [[key thief|key thieves]] steal keys but leave items unharmed. Both thieves also cut the player's [[bonus flag|bonus]] in half. [[Monster]]s will not lose items to thieves, except [[bribe]]s (see below).
In CC2, as a general rule, anything that steps on an item (or blocked [[yellow teleport]]) will pick it up. Most [[monster]]s can't pick up items simply because they're unable to step on them in the first place; blue keys are always picked up because they don't block anything.  (This is also why item bestowal is possible; it tricks the game into making an actor "step" into the cell it's already in.)  The few exceptions to this rule are as follows:
 
* New blocks — that is, [[ice block]]s and [[directional block]]s — ''never'' pick up items, not even blue keys or yellow teleporters.
* Only players and doppelgängers can pick up [[red key]]s or activate [[stopwatch]]es.
* Only players can pick up [[computer chip]]s, [[time bonus]]es, or [[time penalty|time penalties]].
* [[Bonus flag]]s are picked up as normal (except by ghosts, which ignore them), but they only affect the player's score if a player picks them up.

'''Flippers''' allow [[Chip]] or [[Melinda]] to swim through [[water]] safely if they are unable to or do not wish to use blocks. Flippers do not, however, protect them from any [[glider]]s that may be swimming nearby.

In the original Atari [[Lynx ruleset|Lynx]], instead of flippers, a "water shield" is used.
 
As with all other boots, it is taken away when the player lands on an [[item thief]], and is an [[acting wall]] to [[monster]]s only. Chip can collect fire boots touched by a block by simply pushing the block again; specifically, this will shorten play through [[Balls O Fire]].

An item or tool is a tile which Chip or Melinda can collect and store in their inventory. Aside from keys and computer chips which have separate inventories, players can hold at most four items in their inventory at once. Although the computer chip is technically an item, it does not appear in the player's inventory like the other items.

The term 'tool' specifically refers to the items listed on this page, whereas 'item' can refer to either just tools or any collectible static object.

There are specific tiles which are not considered items even though Chip can remove them: sockets, dirt, fake blue walls, locks, etc. are not items. Chip can also move blocks, but they are not considered items. In CC2, the bomb and stopwatch are on the item layer, even though they can't be picked up.

Properties of items in CC1[edit]

In the original Chip's Challenge 1, the only items aside from keys and chips are fire boots, flippers, ice skates, and suction boots. Items cannot be moved and can only be collected by Chip. There are no key thieves, only tool thieves (though some poorly designed ports have thieves steal both keys and tools).

These boots are acting walls to monsters. In the MS ruleset, blocks can be pushed over them; this is impossible in Lynx.

Monsters and blocks can pass over keys in MS. In Lynx, yellow and green keys are acting walls instead, red keys remain acting floor, and blue keys are erased by passing monsters and blocks.

In some circumstances in MS, items can be erased without Chip picking them up. The Non-Existence Glitch at the start of the game can remove them, or generally, other moving objects which pass over squares containing items on the lower layer of the grid: monsters erase any item on the lower layer of any square they enter, and Chip and blocks will only erase items on the lower layer if the upper layer contains a non-floor tile which was not removed by the passage of Chip or the block. Such tile combinations are invalid, rendering such levels unplayable in Lynx.

Properties of items in CC2[edit]

Most of the original properties of items apply in Chip's Challenge 2; however, the sequel also included multiple new items and mechanics. If the player attempts to pick up a fifth item, the first item in the player inventory is dropped to accommodate the new item. Players can also choose to drop the first item in their inventory ('Q' on the keyboard by default), and rotate through the items in their inventory ('C' on the keyboard by default) to change which item is next to be dropped.

Monsters and blocks can kill the player while the player is standing on or is about to walk onto an item, even if the item (not the terrain) normally prevents the monster or block from doing so. In Lynx, items do not behave differently in these circumstances.

Another new mechanic in CC2 is that all actors have their own inventory, and certain ones — ghosts, rovers, player mirrors, and bowling balls — can pick up and use items as the player would. Those not intended to pick up items can still be given items by way of Item Bestowal. Every actor's inventory works the same way, dropping the first item when a fifth is picked up, though only player characters have the ability to manually cycle and drop items.

The solution to a number of CC2 puzzles involves strategically dropping items or passing items to monster inventories, allowing monsters to solve portions of the puzzle on the player's behalf.

In CC2, as a general rule, anything that steps on an item (or blocked yellow teleport) will pick it up. Most monsters can't pick up items simply because they're unable to step on them in the first place; blue keys are always picked up because they don't block anything. (This is also why item bestowal is possible; it tricks the game into making an actor "step" into the cell it's already in.) The few exceptions to this rule are as follows:

Items in both versions[edit]

The following items appear in both Chip's Challenge 1 and Chip's Challenge 2:

Flippers allow Chip or Melinda to swim through water safely if they are unable to or do not wish to use blocks. Flippers do not, however, protect them from any gliders that may be swimming nearby.

In the original Atari Lynx, instead of flippers, a "water shield" is used.

Fire boots[edit]

Fire boots allow Chip or Melinda to walk across fire safely. They do not, however, protect them from any fireballs that may be in the fire. In Chip's Challenge 2, a ghost with fire boots will erase fire tiles they step on.

In Lynx, instead of fire boots, a "heat shield" is used.

Ice skates[edit]

Ice skates, or just skates, allow Chip and mirror Chip to walk across ice at normal speed the same way he walks on ordinary floor, but have no effect when worn by Melinda or mirror Melinda. In the MS ruleset, Chip can also step through ice corners from within the ice space that contains them across to another space, as long as the move is otherwise legal.

In Lynx and Chip's Challenge 2, instead of ice skates, ice cleats are used.

Items exclusive to CC2[edit]

The following items appear only in Chip's Challenge 2.

The hiking boots, also known as dirt boots, allow Melinda and mirror Melinda to walk over dirt and gravel tiles, but have no effect when worn by Chip or any other monster (even those that cannot cross dirt/gravel).

Speed boots[edit]

The speed boots allow Chip and Melinda to walk at twice their normal speed. The same is true for their mirrors as well as bowling balls and ghosts. Rovers will walk at five tiles per second, just like regular monsters. Speed boots have no impact when sliding on force floors or ice.

Lesson 6 is the only level in the CC2 main game that uses speed boots.

Bowling ball[edit]

The bowling ball, once picked up by a movable object, remains in the inventory until dropped. Then, it will travel in a direction until it is destroyed by a hazard or by running into an obstacle (unless it is sliding into an obstacle that is not a movable object, in which case it rebounds or stays put). It can destroy any movable object, pick up most items, and traverse most terrain.

Bribe[edit]

Multi-directional? No
Moves? No

If Chip or Melinda holds at least one bribe in their inventory and steps on a thief, the bribe will be stolen but the rest of the inventory and bonuses will be preserved. From monsters, a thief will take bribes, but not other items. If a player or monster has multiple bribes in their inventory, only one bribe will be used after stepping on a thief.

The game processes players collecting items before thieves stealing from players, so a thief with a bribe on it is essentially acting dirt that turns into a thief when moved off of (and pops your inventory if you have 4 items).

In the CC2 main game, bribes are only used in Lesson 6, Flea Market, and Line and Sinker.

Helmet[edit]

The helmet will make Chip or Melinda unable to be killed by monsters or moving blocks. Monsters and moving blocks will instead treat Chip and Melinda as acting wall and vice versa. Similarly, monsters wearing the helmet will not be able to kill Chip or Melinda. Bowling balls are unaffected by helmets.

Hook[edit]

Hook

Chip's Challenge 2

MSCC Index Unknown edit
Steam ID Unknown edit
Multi-directional? No
Moves? No

The hook allows the player and monsters to pull blocks, ice blocks, and directional blocks. With the tool equipped, pulling happens automatically if Chip or Melinda walk directly away from the block and if the block is able to traverse the tile Chip or Melinda are currently standing on. It was first introduced in the level Flea Market and is used in only one level in the CC2 main game, Line and Sinker, after its introduction.

If a movable object is in the process of moving into a space next to another movable object that is carrying a hook and attempting to move away from it, the hook will attempt to pull the former, even if it is not a block. This attempt will always fail, but it will cause the latter object to treat the space it is trying to move toward as a wall and the former object, once it lands on its space, to treat the latter object as a wall, even if the latter object is Chip or Melinda without a helmet (unless the latter object is after the former object in monster order, in which case the player will die if they do not move to the side in time).

When equipped with a hook, the player can hook slap.

When the lightning bolt is equipped by a moving object, like Chip, Melinda, ghosts, rovers, or bowling balls, they will supply signal to the bare wire underneath. The lightning bolt has no effect on wires that are already activated, nor does it affect logic gates, wired buttons, or wires buried under elements.

The railroad sign or railroad crossing sign, often abbreviated as RR sign, allows Chip, Melinda, player mirrors, bowling balls, and rovers to cross railroad tracks as if they were floor, although if they enter and exit a railroad with a track switch "legally", the track will still cycle. It has no impact on ghosts.

The secret eye, often shortened to eye, when equipped by Chip or Melinda, reveals the identity of invisible walls, hidden walls, blue walls, green walls, content under blocks, and content under canopies, and it gives a unique look to floor mimics. It has no impact on any entity other than the current player.

Steel foil[edit]

Steel foil, commonly shortened to foil, allows movable objects to change normal walls into steel walls by pushing on them. Walls can also have steel slapped onto them; however, hidden walls and real blue walls have to be revealed before they can be converted to steel, and so would require two slaps to become steel walls if never touched directly, or touched for at least 2 frames otherwise. Invisible walls are never affected by steel foil, despite taking on the appearance of a normal wall when made contact with.

Main article: Yellow teleport

The yellow teleport is technically a terrain tile, but if the exit directions for all yellow teleports except the one being entered are blocked or are covered, the player or moving tile (excluding ice blocks and directional blocks) will collect the yellow teleport as if it were an item. It can then be dropped on another floor tile as long as no item is currently on that tile (even if it is under a no sign).
