The Lynx Chip's Challenge, unlike the MS version, will read two keys held simultaneously in the process of moving as moving in the first direction pressed. The second direction is a ''subordinate keystroke'', which will take effect only in two situations. The first situation is that when, during a straight run, the primary keystroke becomes illegal but the secondary keystroke is legal, they will reverse priority and Chip will move in the previously subordinate direction (more generally, which keystroke is considered | The Lynx Chip's Challenge, unlike the [[Ruleset#Microsoft_ruleset|MS]] version, will read two keys held simultaneously in the process of moving as moving in the first direction pressed. The second direction is a ''subordinate keystroke'', which will take effect only in two situations. The first situation is that when, during a straight run, the primary keystroke becomes illegal but the secondary keystroke is legal, they will reverse priority and Chip will move in the previously subordinate direction (more generally, which keystroke is considered primary depends solely on the direction Chip is currently facing, so sliding can also reverse priority). The second situation is that if there is a block in the subordinate direction, block slapping takes effect. | ||

In Chip's Challenge 2, whether or not a block can be slapped depends on the tile that is underneath. If Chip or Melinda can enter the tile normally if there was no block, the block can be slapped; otherwise, slapping is impossible. For example, [[Melinda]] cannot slap a block on [[gravel]] unless she has [[hiking boots]], Chip cannot slap a block on a [[female-only sign]], and neither Chip nor Melinda an slap a block off a [[lock]] unless they have the appropriate key (though it will not be consumed when slapping). Generally, this rule on block slapping holds for Lynx as well, including the lack of key consumption; unlike CC2, however, real [[blue wall]]s and [[hidden wall]]s are also considered enter-able until touched, in which case they become normal [[wall]]s on the next tick. This allows the player to flick and slap blocks off of these tiles. | In Chip's Challenge 2, whether or not a block can be slapped depends on the tile that is underneath.

In some situations, it is also possible to slap a block while moving only two tiles. Once again, someone more knowledgeable in the matter should expand this section. | In some situations, it is also possible to slap a block while moving between only two tiles.

A deadly variation occurs when holding a second key while walking past a monster. If Chip or Melinda does this without a [[helmet]], they will instantly die and have to start the level over. This was also present in the original Lynx release of Chip's Challenge. | A deadly variation occurs when holding a second key while walking past a [[monster]].
