A '''ball''' is a [[monster]] in [[Chip's Challenge]] which moves in a straight line. When any obstacle blocks it from continuing on this path, the ball immediately bounces backwards and continues to move in that direction. If both directions are blocked, the ball will stop moving until something is opened.

The ball was first seen in level 5 of Chip's Challenge 1, [[Lesson 5]], cloning [[fireball]]s in front of a [[red key]].

Balls will die if they hit a [[destructive obstacle]] such as [[water]] or [[bomb]]s. Balls can also change polarity using [[Ice|ice corner]]s, [[force floor]]s, [[railroad track]]s, [[red teleport]]s, or [[green teleport]]s.

<!-- This section has been removed from the page for the time being, not only because it's a bad diagram but also because the bomb on the exit can be misleading for what would happen in CC2. -Indy -->

The following diagram illustrates these properties:

[[File:Pink ball demo.png]]

In the current position, the ball will play D and U until one of the [[dirt]] spaces is opened by Chip, at which point it will either play 3D and die on that bomb, or play 2U onto the ice space, which will redirect it east onto another bomb, depending on which space was removed. In actual play, the top bomb would be removed, as the [[exit]] is underneath it.
