Mike Lask, who generally prefers to be known as Mike L. or simply Mike, and is usually called as such, is the 12th highest scorer in CC1 (5,976,780) and 16th highest scorer in CCLP2 (6,042,080). Aside from that, he is known for extending the T-Chip record on Blobdance out to 947 (4 seconds under the Melinda time), but is generally more known for several important and often revolutionary contributions in the Chip's Challenge community.

Contributions

• Mike maintains the AVI archive for CC1 and CCLP2 which replaced Anders Kaseorg's, since it was outdated. For the purposes of this guide, and to widen their audience, Mike would also upload these AVIs to YouTube.
• From 2008 to 2010, Mike maintained the overall CC1 and CCLP2 scores and evolutions, which replaced Ruben Spaans's because it was outdated. However, when CCLP3 was released in late 2010, Mike handed the CC1 and CCLP2 scorekeeping duties over to James Anderson, who tracks the CCLP3 scores as well.
• Mike has collected links to almost all custom level sets available on the Internet: [1]
