[[Chip's Challenge 2]] has some odd internal structuring that allows objects to be removed from a level through certain glitches and show up again on another level, or on the next playthrough of the same level. This behavior as a whole is known as the '''Despawning and Respawning Glitch'''. It seems to be a way of dealing with multiple entities from the same layer being on the same tile. | |||

However, if there is not already more than one player to start with, the extra player will be unusable since player switching is not enabled in levels with only one player.

If the currently selected player gets in this state, or you switch to a player that is in this state, moving will do nothing and you will be unable to drop/shuffle items or switch characters. Furthermore, teleports that have caused an unsafe despawn will act as though they are permanently [[partial posting|partial post]]ed, and will not allow anything to enter. | If the currently selected player gets in this state, or you switch to a player that is in this state, moving will do nothing and you will be unable to drop/shuffle items or switch characters.
