== Properties of items in CC1 ==
== Properties of items in CC1 ==


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. The only other things that can erase items are the [[Non-Existence Glitch]] at the start of the game, 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. However, in [[Lynx]], the [[blue key]] ''can'' be erased by monsters and blocks.
In the original [[Chip's Challenge 1]], the only items aside from [[keys and locks|keys]] and [[computer chip|chips]] are fire boots, flippers, ice skates, and suction boots. Items cannot be moved and can only be collected by Chip. [[Item thief|Thieves]] will only steal boots, not keys.


The only items monsters can pass over are keys, and blocks cannot pass computer chips. [[Item thief|Thieves]] will only steal boots.
Items are [[acting wall]]s to [[monster]]s. In the [[MS ruleset]], blocks can be pushed over items; 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 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 included multiple new items and new item mechanics. If the player attempts to pick up a fifth item, the last item in the player inventory is dropped to accommodate the new item. 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).

Another new mechanic in CC2 is certain [[monster]]s and items 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.

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.

== Footwear ==
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).
An item is considered footware if it allows [[Chip]] or [[Melinda]] to walk unrestricted on tiles where they would normally not be able to do so. All footwear is taken away when Chip lands on an [[item thief]] and behave as an [[acting wall]] to most [[monster]]s.  
 
== Items in both versions ==
The following items appear in both [[Chip's Challenge 1]] and [[Chip's Challenge 2]]

The '''speed boots ''' are a tool introduced in [[Chip's Challenge 2]]. They allow [[Chip]] or [[Melinda]] to walk at ten tiles per second; twice their normal speed. The same is true for their [[player mirror|mirrors]] as well as bowling balls and ghosts. [[Rover]]s will walk at five tiles per second, just like regular monsters.

The '''bribe''' is an [[item]] introduced in [[Chip's Challenge 2]]. If [[Chip]] or [[Melinda]] hold at least one bribe in their inventory and step on a blue or red [[thief]], the bribe will be stolen but the rest of the inventory will be preserved. A thief will take bribes from monsters, other items are not stolen. If a player or monster has multiple bribes in their inventory, only one bribe will be used after stepping on a thief.

The '''helmet ''' is a tool introduced in [[Chip's Challenge 2]]. It will make [[Chip]] or [[Melinda]] unable to killed by [[monster]]s or moving [[block]]s. Monsters and moving blocks will instead treat Chip and Melinda as [[acting wall]]. Similar monsters wearing the helmet will not be able to kill Chip or Melinda.

The '''hook''' is a tool introduced in [[Chip's Challenge 2]]. It allows [[Chip]] and [[Melinda]] to pull [[block]]s, [[ice block]]s, and [[directional block]]s. With the tool equipped, pulling happens automatically if Chip or Melinda walk perpendicularly 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, [[Line and Sinker]], after its introduction.

The '''yellow teleport''' is a teleport introduced in [[Chip's Challenge 2]]. If the exit directions for all yellow teleports are blocked, the movable object will put the yellow teleport in their inventory. In the case of [[Chip]], [[Melinda]], [[ghost]]s, and [[rover]]s, this means that yellow teleports later can be dropped elsewhere.
