=== Failed Move ===
''Official name pending''. The '''Failed Move Glitch''', often referred to informally as '''The Stupid Glitch''', is not actually a glitch, but an exploit of the way Lynx [[move order|processes movement]]. This term refers to a specific application in which a monster sees a direction as open, turns to face that direction, then finds that for whatever reason it is no longer able to enter the tile. The most notable cases of this are when a [[bug]], [[paramecium]], [[glider]], or [[fireball]] turns around because a [[block]] just moved into a space beside it or a [[toggle wall]] changed from open to closed, whereas if the block were always there, or the toggle wall were always closed, the monster would choose a different direction. An example of this is in the [[public TWS]] for [[Stratagem]].

This glitch, also known as '''clone desynchronization''' due to the way it was discovered, causes some cloning streams to desynchronize over time when they would synchronize in MS.

While [[Chip's Challenge 2]] is coded much more professionally than MSCC, it has its fair share of bugs and bizarre behaviors as well. Most of these behaviors do not have wiki pages yet.

{{main|Spring mining}}
{{main|Despawning and Respawning Glitch}}
This glitch lets Chip (or other monsters that can push) move onto a tile with a block when pushing the block, in cases where they would normally stay behind while the block moves forward. The glitch is named after the level [[Spring Mines]], in which it can easily be triggered.
This glitch allows entities to "disappear," remaining invisible and intangible while still occupying a physical location. These entities can reappear later, even after the level resets or changes.
 
=== Explosion Sneaking ===
This glitch allows [[movable object]]s within the explosion radius of a [[time bomb]] to escape unharmed if moving at the precise [[tick]] of the explosion. The Chip and Melinda variant is banned in [[optimization]], but the monster variant remains legal.

This glitch makes it possible for [[monster]]s to pick up items when they normally should not be able to.

By switching between playable characters at high speed in-between tiles, it can be possible to essentially move several characters at once. This glitch is banned in [[optimization]].
