Despawning and Respawning Glitch

The way Chip's Challenge 2 loads levels can cause objects to spontaneously appear or disappear as soon as a level starts, usually by activating another glitch in the previous level or before resetting the level. Such instances of objects disappearing or appearing are documented here.

This also works when the entity that is spring mined off the turtle does not match the entity at the start of the level:
