Since the AVIs alone may not explain the more complex maneuvers such as [[Block Buster]] or specific mechanics such as [[After the Rainstorm]]'s [[ram]], annotations written by Andrew Bennett are added to them such that they become clearer and easy to understand.

There were six types of annotations, each with a color code:

* ''Green'': usually the most common type of annotation, the green box covers several categories. It can be used to explain why a specific idea worked, as a replacement for an in-game sound that is vital to gameplay, general comments about the level in general, or for trivia about Chip’s Challenge itself relating to the level being played.

Since some busted and/or very difficult routes may present too much of a difficulty to the average viewer, some of the slower and/or easier routes are included, under similar criteria to the guidelines for uploading: routes with reduced or no dependence on chance, boosting or challenging timing are put in the playlists, unless the easier route is obvious from the contents of the harder route such as the one for Blobnet.
