The '''[[Melinda]] time''' is a term used to refer a time higher than the current [[bold time]] that theoretically could be obtained, but would require extreme luck and/or skill - often both - to obtain. They are almost always caused by the use of [[random element]]s.
The '''[[Melinda]] time''' is a term used to refer a time higher than the current [[bold time]] that theoretically could be obtained, but would require extreme luck and/or skill to obtain - though most commonly the former. They are almost always caused by the use of [[random element]]s.

== [[Skelzie]] ==
''Note: Blobdance is naturally untimed. For how to optimize untimed levels, see [[T-Chip]].''


Skelzie is one special case: its bold route is 454.2, and with Chip's (2U) move to a [[green button]] possibly being covered by a blob, 455 ''may'' be possible. Whether the [[pink ball]]s remaining in the telenet that makes up the nine main rooms of the level will delay Chip longer than they do in the 454 route, and whether the [[Teleport Skip Glitch]] can even be used effectively with the different ball locations, are unknown because applying and executing the glitch is difficult - and limited to only MS play.
=== Undetermined ===


== CC1 Melinda times, originally untimed ==
There are some special cases in Chip's Challenge 1 where it is unknown if a higher Melinda time even exists in the first place. They are as such:
