 The '''Tank Top Glitch''' is a [[glitch]] discovered in the [[Microsoft's version of Chip's Challenge]] ''only'', and concerns behavior of [[tank]]s sliding onto [[blue button]]s.
-When a tank slides on a ''single'' [[force floor]] or [[ice]], turning direction from horizontal to vertical or vertical to horizontal, and hits a blue button as a result, the blue button will take effect before the tank is discovered to be moving in a different direction, and the switch will take effect against the ''original'' direction of the tank, rather than the new direction. The result of this is that the tank spins like a top, giving the glitch its name. It is likely that this is a relative of the [[Button Smash Glitch]].
+When a tank slides on a ''single'' [[force floor]] or [[ice corner]], turning direction from horizontal to vertical or vertical to horizontal, and hits a blue button as a result, the blue button will take effect before the tank is discovered to be moving in a different direction, and the switch will take effect against the ''original'' direction of the tank, rather than the new direction. The result of this is that the tank spins like a top, giving the glitch its name.
-Should there be more than one sliding tile, the tank will recognize its change in direction, and point in its original direction before the switch takes effect.
+If the tank slides for two tiles or more, the glitch will not be triggered, and the tank will rotate 180° as it would under ordinary circumstances, effectively turning back onto the slide.
-Currently, there are no official levels where the Tank Top Glitch can be used. This was originally discovered by [[David Stolp]], and described to [[Mike Lask]], who made a level based off the use of this glitch, called ''Tank Bug''. This is level 320 in MikeLrejects.dat, and an [[AVI]] solution below, yielding the current 124 [[bold time]], demonstrates how the glitch and the level itself works.

The glitch also appears in a few other custom levels, but in no official levels.
-[[Tile World]] currently does not recognize the Tank Top Glitch.
+The glitch does not exist in [[Lynx]] or [[Chip's Challenge 2]]. The glitch is also not currently emulated by [[Tile World]].
