The '''Tank Top Glitch''' is a [[glitch]] discovered in the [[Microsoft's version of Chip's Challenge]] ''only'', and concerns behavior of [[tank]]s sliding onto [[blue button]]s.


When a tank slides on a ''single'' [[force floor]] or [[ice]], turning direction from horizontal to vertical or vertical to horizontal, and hits a blue button as a result, the blue button will take effect before the tank is discovered to be moving in a different direction, and the switch will take effect against the ''original'' direction of the tank, rather than the new direction. The result of this is that the tank spins like a top, giving the glitch its name. It is likely that this is a relative of the [[Button Smash Glitch]].
