An '''item | An '''item''' is a [[tile]] which [[Chip]] or [[Melinda]] can collect and store in their inventory. Aside from [[key]]s and [[computer chip]]s which have separate inventories, players can hold at most four items in their inventory at once. Although the computer chip is technically an item, it does not appear in the player's inventory like the other items. | ||
There are specific tiles which are ''not'' considered items even though Chip can remove them: [[socket]]s, [[dirt]], fake [[blue wall]]s, [[lock]]s, etc. are not items. Chip can also move [[block]]s, but they are not considered items. | |||

In the original [[Chip's Challenge 1]], the only items aside from [[keys and locks|keys]] and [[computer chip|chips]] are fire boots, flippers, ice skates, and suction boots. Items cannot be moved and can only be collected by Chip. [[Thief|Thieves]] will only steal boots, not keys. | |||

Most of the original properties of items apply in [[Chip's Challenge 2]]; however, the sequel also included multiple new items and mechanics. If the player attempts to pick up a fifth item, the last item in the player inventory is dropped to accommodate the new item. Players can also choose to rotate through the items in their inventory ('C' on the keyboard by default) and drop the last item in their inventory ('Q' on the keyboard by default). | |||
Monsters and blocks can kill the player while the player is standing on or is about to walk onto an item, even if the item (not the [[terrain]]) normally prevents the monster or block from doing so. In Lynx, items do not behave differently in these circumstances. | Monsters and blocks can kill the player while the player is standing on or is about to walk onto an item, even if the item (not the [[terrain]]) normally prevents the monster or block from doing so.

Another new mechanic in CC2 is that | Another new mechanic in CC2 is that certain [[monster]]s ([[ghost]]s, [[rover]]s, and [[player mirror]]s) and items (dropped [[bowling ball]]s and [[time bomb]]s) maintain their own inventory separate from the player inventory and can (with the exception of time bombs) also pick up items. In many cases, monsters can then use these items as the player would. All monsters and dirt blocks have the ability to pick up [[blue key]]s. | ||
The solution to a number of CC2 puzzles involves strategically dropping items or passing items to monster inventories, allowing monsters to solve portions of the puzzle on the player's behalf. | The solution to a number of CC2 puzzles involves strategically dropping items or passing items to monster inventories, allowing monsters to solve portions of the puzzle on the player's behalf. | ||
