For other monsters that are added to the monster list multiple times, the square simply spawns more the number of monsters equal to the number of instances in the monster list. This is not true of tanks, which only spawn once no matter how many times it is added to the monster list—except in a few special circumstances. These special cases can achieve very bizarre effects in a level designed with this glitch. | For other monsters that are added to the monster list multiple times, the square simply spawns more the number of monsters equal to the number of instances in the monster list.

If the tank has a [[sliding tile]] buried underneath it, then a curious effect will be observed if the tank slides on its first move. After the tank leaves the sliding tile, the tile buried underneath the tank will follow the tank and possibly morph itself into a different tile in the process. The exact tile that it morphs into is determined by an algorithm in Chip's Challenge, which is described in more detail in a later section. | |||
