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.

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 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.

'''Flippers''' allow [[Chip]] or [[Melinda]] to swim through [[water]] safely if they are unable to or do not wish to use blocks. Flippers do not, however, protect them from any [[glider]]s that may be swimming nearby. In [[Lynx ruleset|Lynx]], instead of flippers, a "water shield" is used.

'''Fire boots''' allow [[Chip]] or [[Melinda]] to walk across [[fire]] safely. They do not, however, protect them from any [[fireball]]s that may be in the fire. In [[Chip's Challenge 2]], a [[ghost]] with fire boots will erase fire tiles they step on.

'''Ice skates''', or just '''skates''', allow [[Chip]] to walk across [[ice]] at normal speed the same way he walks on ordinary floors, but have no effect when worn by [[Melinda]]. In the [[MS ruleset]], Chip can also step through ice corners from within the ice space that contains them across to another space, as long as the move is legal.

'''Suction boots''' or '''suction shoes''' allow [[Chip]] or [[Melinda]] to walk across [[force floor]]s the same way he walks on ordinary floors, at the expense of moving at his regular speed. In [[Lynx ruleset|Lynx]], instead of Suction boots, magnets are used instead, and in [[Chip's Challenge 2]], magno shoes are used.

The '''speed boots ''' allow [[Chip]] or [[Melinda]] to walk at twice their normal speed. The same is true for their [[player mirror|mirrors]] as well as bowling balls and ghosts. [[Rover]]s will walk at five tiles per second, just like regular monsters. Speed boots have no impact when sliding on [[force floor]]s or [[ice]].

The '''bowling ball''', once picked up by [[Chip]] or [[Melinda]], remains in the inventory until dropped. Then, it will travel in a direction until it is destroyed by a hazard. It is capable of destroying [[monster]]s and [[block]]s, picking up [[item]]s, pressing [[button]]s, and more.

Bowling balls have an inventory of four tools: if they grab a fifth, the first will be dropped.

If [[Chip]] or [[Melinda]] hold at least one '''bribe''' in their inventory and step on a blue or red [[thief]], the bribe will be stolen but the rest of the inventory will be preserved. A thief will take bribes from monsters, other items are not stolen. If a player or monster has multiple bribes in their inventory, only one bribe will be used after stepping on a thief.

The '''helmet ''' will make [[Chip]] or [[Melinda]] unable to killed by [[monster]]s or moving [[block]]s. Monsters and moving blocks will instead treat Chip and Melinda as [[acting wall]]. Similarly, monsters wearing the helmet will not be able to kill Chip or Melinda. Bowling balls are unaffected by helmets.

The '''hook''' allows [[Chip]] and [[Melinda]] to pull [[block]]s, [[ice block]]s, and [[directional block]]s. With the tool equipped, pulling happens automatically if Chip or Melinda walk perpendicularly away from the block and if the block is able to traverse the tile Chip or Melinda are currently standing on. It was first introduced in the level [[Flea Market]] and is used in only one level, [[Line and Sinker]], after its introduction.

The '''lightning bolt ''' is a tool introduced in [[Chip's Challenge 2]]. When equipped by a moving object, like [[Chip]], [[Melinda]], [[ghost]]s, [[rover]]s, or [[bowling ball]]s, they will supply signal to a wire while stopped on one. The lightning bolt has no effect on wires that are already activated.

The lightning bolt has no effect on wires that are already activated, nor does it affect logic gates, wired buttons, or wires buried under elements.

The '''secret eye''', when equipped by [[Chip]] or [[Melinda]], reveals the identity of [[invisible wall]]s, [[hidden wall]]s, [[blue wall]]s, [[green wall]]s, content under [[block]]s, and content under [[Tent canopy|canopies]], and it gives a unique look to the [[floor mimic]].

'''Steel foil''', commonly shortened to '''foil''', allows [[Chip]], [[Melinda]], [[player mirror]]s, the [[ghost]], and the [[rover]] to change normal [[wall]]s and real [[blue wall]]s into [[steel wall]]s by pushing on them. Walls can also have steel [[wall slapping|slapped onto them]].

Walls can also have steel [[wall slapping|slapped onto them]]; however, [[hidden wall]]s and real [[blue wall]]s have to be revealed before they can be converted to steel, and so would require 2 slaps to be come steel walls if never touched directly, or touched for at least 2 ticks otherwise.

The '''time bomb''', also known as '''dynamite''', is an [[item]] introduced in [[Chip's Challenge 2]]. When dropped by [[Chip]] or [[Melinda]], the time bomb will count down for about four seconds before exploding; the countdown starts after the player has stepped off it.

The '''yellow teleport''' is technically a terrain tile, but if the exit directions for all yellow teleports except the one being entered are blocked or are covered, the player or moving tile (excluding [[ice block]]s and [[directional block]]s) will collect the yellow teleport as if it were an item. It can then be dropped on another floor tile as long as no item is currently on that tile (even if it is under a [[no sign]]).
