If the player attempts to pick up a fifth item, the first item in the player inventory is dropped to accommodate the new item. Players can also choose to drop the first item in their inventory ('Q' on the keyboard by default), and rotate through the items in their inventory ('C' on the keyboard by default) to change which item is next to be dropped. | ||

Another new mechanic in CC2 is that certain [[monster]]s ([[ghost]]s, [[rover]]s, and [[player mirror]]s) and items (dropped [[bowling ball]]s and [[time bomb]]s) maintain their own inventory separate from the player inventory and can (with the exception of time bombs) also pick up items.

In many cases, monsters can then use these items as the player would. Every [[movable object]]'s inventory works the same way, dropping the first item when a fifth is picked up, though only player characters have the ability to manually cycle and drop items. | ||
The solution to a number of CC2 puzzles involves strategically dropping items or passing items to monster inventories, allowing monsters to solve portions of the puzzle on the player's behalf. | The solution to a number of CC2 puzzles involves strategically dropping items or passing items to monster inventories, allowing monsters to solve portions of the puzzle on the player's behalf. | ||
