The '''blue teleport''', also commonly referred to as simply '''teleport''' due to being the only teleport tile in [[Chip's Challenge|Chip's Challenge 1]], is a teleport tile that sends movable objects to another part of the level. When an object enters a blue teleport, it will exit out the next teleport in reverse wrappable [[reading order]] - right to left within any row, then moving on to the right of the next row to the north, and so on - in the opposite direction, assuming this is a legal move and the [[Twice Step Glitch]] has not been activated. In one of these cases, the game will continue to search for the next teleport which allows this move. Should the search reach the northwest corner, it will start over from the southeast corner. | |||
In [[Microsoft's version of Chip's Challenge|MSCC]], if operating in black-and-white mode, the teleport appears as a white circle with a cross-shaped arrow to let the player know they can enter the teleport in any direction. | |||
Should the search reach the original teleport, it will act as a non-directional [[ice]] tile - the object will slide across it if that move is legal, or bounce back if it is not. However, a [[block]] or [[monster]] in the latter case will stick on the teleport and the teleport will cease to function. For a demonstration of this, go to [[Drawn and Quartered]], teleport directly up to the north-east room from the start, and release the fireballs into the teleport. | |||

As a teleport slide is involuntary, Chip can [[Boosting|boost]] on his very next move. | As a teleport slide is involuntary, Chip can [[Boosting|boost]] on his very next move. | ||

In Chip's Challenge 2, blue teleports can be hooked up to [[wire]]. Wired blue teleports can only exit to other teleports on the same wire as them. If a blue teleport receives a current from any side, it will relay that current to all four sides of itself. This behavior can be used to create a circuit that splits into four directions, as a wire on [[floor]] that travels in four directions only allows the current to move horizontally or vertically. | In Chip's Challenge 2, blue teleports can be hooked up to [[wire]].

The '''red teleport''' is a teleport introduced in [[Chip's Challenge 2]] which, like a blue teleport, can send movable objects to other red teleports in the level. It differs from a blue teleport in that it sends entities to the next teleport in normal [[reading order]]. | The '''red teleport''' is a teleport introduced in [[Chip's Challenge 2]] which, like a blue teleport, can send movable objects to other red teleports in the level.

The '''green teleport''' is a teleport introduced in [[Chip's Challenge 2]]. It sends movable objects to another green teleport chosen pseudorandomly in a direction chosen pseudorandomly. Green teleports share the same pseudo-random number generator (PRNG) as [[walker]]s, meaning a small offscreen room containing [[blob]]s and green teleports can be used to randomize walker movement. | |||
If the exit teleport's chosen exit direction is blocked, it will try another direction. If the chosen destination is blocked on all sides, the object will still teleport there, but not be able to move or teleport back, which will cause it to become completely trapped unless at least one [[toggle wall]] or [[switch door]] is present to possibly release the object. If all exit teleports have [[object]]s on top of them, the attempt to teleport immediately fails, and whatever was trying to enter the green teleport instead slides past it. | |||

The '''yellow teleport''' is a teleport introduced in [[Chip's Challenge 2]]. They will attempt to send movable objects to another yellow teleport in reverse reading order if the exit direction is not blocked, similar to a blue teleport. Unlike all other teleports, if the exit directions for all yellow teleports are blocked, the movable object will put the yellow teleport in their inventory. This means that yellow teleports later can be dropped elsewhere. | |||
Yellow teleports are technically not [[item]]s but are instead treated as terrain, and thus they can only be dropped on [[floor]]. However, they cannot be dropped on a tile containing a [[no sign]] and an item, and if one is dropped on a blank no sign it will no longer be collectible. | |||
