The '''bowling ball''' is a tool introduced in [[Chip's Challenge 2]]. Once picked up by [[Chip]] or [[Melinda]], it remains in the inventory until dropped. Then, it will travel in a direction until it is destroyed by a hazard. It is capable of destroying [[monster]]s and [[block]]s, picking up [[item]]s, pressing [[button]]s, and more.
Bowling balls have an inventory of four tools: if they grab a fifth, the first will be dropped.
