The glitch makes it possible, under certain circumstances, for [[monster]]s to obtain [[item]]s when they otherwise shouldn't be able to. | ||

In order to bestow an item to a monster, the item must be placed on top of a [[force floor]], and the monster must be on top of the item. Additionally, the monster must be unable to move when the level begins: the force floor must face an [[acting wall]].

Additionally, the monster must be unable to move when the level begins: the force floor must face an [[acting wall]]. This will add the item to the monster's inventory, and the monster will be able to use it. This can allow monsters to [[flippers|swim]], [[skates|treat ice like floor]], [[speed boots|move at twice their normal speed]], and [[helmet|become unable to kill players]], among other things. | ||
Each monster can only obtain one item this way. | Each monster can only obtain one item this way. [[Ghost]]s, [[directional block]]s, and [[ice block]]s can not obtain items this way: ghosts are never affected by force floors, and these blocks can be pushed over items naturally without picking them up, although a [[Block|dirt block]] with an item can still be [[transmogrifier|transformed]] into an ice block and vice versa. Bestowed [[hiking boots]], [[bribe]]s, and [[eye]]s have no effect on the monster, apart from preventing it from crossing the corresponding [[no sign]]s. Additionally, yellow teleports cannot be bestowed this way since they are terrain, though they can be picked up normally by all movable objects anyway (except ice blocks and directional blocks). | ||

If the monster obtains [[suction boots]], they | If the monster obtains [[suction boots]], they can move off the force floor on the second tick; otherwise, they will remain stuck on the force floor, unless released. A simple way to release the monster is with an [[inverter]] gate to flip the force floor on the second frame, after the item has been bestowed. | ||
Another method is to use a [[random force floor]]. If the force floor sends the monster into an acting wall first, then in an open direction, the item will be bestowed. If the monster is sent in an open direction first, however, the item will remain on the force floor. | Another method is to use a [[random force floor]].

If the monster is sent in an open direction first, however, the item will remain on the force floor. | ||
A third method is to place another monster in front of the force floor, which can then immediately move away, and a fourth is to just block the force floor with a removable wall, like a [[toggle wall]], a [[Switch door|pink wall]], or an ice block on a flame jet. | |||

Under ordinary circumstances, if a yellow tank were to try pushing such a block, they would simply [[flick]] the block off, and the item would remain. However, if the tank slides into the block (using either [[ice]], a [[force floor]], or a [[teleport]] (while failing to actually teleport)), it will enter the tile and pick up the item. | ||
The item does not need to be under a block at the beginning of the level; a block can be pushed onto it later during the level, and bestowal will still work. | The item does not need to be under a block at the beginning of the level; a block can be pushed onto it later during the level, and bestowal will still work. | ||
If | == Dropping items == | ||
If any monster or block picks up a fifth item over the course of the level, it will drop the oldest item in the inventory. If this item is a yellow teleport, it will then attempt to teleport through it. [[Bowling ball]]s will start rolling, and [[time bomb]]s will not activate, allowing them to be picked up again by the player. | |||
== Bestowing keys and other items == | |||
[[Bonus flag]]s, as well as yellow, green, and blue [[Keys_and_locks#Keys|keys]] can be bestowed upon monsters using both methods described above. However, most monsters remain unable to open locks, so the keys will have no effect on them, apart from preventing them from crossing the appropriate [[no sign]]s. Likewise, bonuses are only counted when picked up by [[Chip]] or [[Melinda]]; they otherwise have no effect. | |||
With the exception of the movable objects that can pick them up normally, red keys, [[Computer_chip|chips]] and [[Toggle_chip_and_bomb|green chips]], and [[Time_modifier|time bonuses and penalties]] can never be bestowed. Chip, Melinda, and [[Player_mirror|their mirrors]] standing on a [[Time_modifier|stopwatch]] on a blocked force floor will pause the timer on every other frame, causing the timer to tick down half as fast as normal. Attempting to bestow a [[Toggle_chip_and_bomb|green bomb]] will cause the movable object to explode. | |||
