Melinda works for the most part as Chip would, with a couple of exceptions: she can always walk on ice as if she had [[ice skates]], but cannot enter dirt or gravel tiles without [[hiking boots]]. She can unlock [[yellow door]]s without losing a [[yellow key]], but loses [[green key]]s when unlocking [[green door]]s.

The story of how Chip's Challenge occurred differs between [[MS]] and [[Lynx]]. In MS, Chip was obsessed with the Bit Busters Club, willing to do anything to join, and Melinda would eventually accede - provided that Chip could pass her Challenge. In Lynx, the main goal of the game is instead to convince Melinda to come to the "E-Prom" (a pun on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPROM EPROM]) with him, after Chip saw Melinda for the first time and fell in love at first sight. Melinda agreed to go with Chip if he passes her Challenge. He also became a member of the Bit Busters Club at the end of the challenge.
