'''Madness II''' is the 68th level in [[Chip's Challenge Level Pack 2]]. Unlike the rather simple [[Madness I]], also by [[Dave Borgman]], Madness II requires instant responses, exact timing, some luck, and some logic. There are two distinct routes through Madness II at its highest level; in slower routes, simply clone one block at a time. One path uses only the arrow keys and one utilizes the Mouse Panel Glitch to perform two [[ram]]s, but the latter - in addition to the increased difficulty of using the mouse - requires several alterations which make the route more difficult.

Clone one block and cover it, then clone two blocks, move the extant block D and remove the dirt. For the next stage, clone three blocks and remove the dirt with [1/2] RL, taking advantage of [[slide delay]] to survive the sliding block - a [[spring step]] [[dirty trick]]. Ram this block with -R, then play DR and revive the rammed block with U, and step L [1/2] R onto the resulting dirt. This U move loses no time, as the boost will catch Chip up with the other theoretical path, similar to the mechanics of the spring step.

Now, run to the top of the level, past the ball on the [[brown button]], and sneak into the second ball room, this time with hidden [[flippers]]. Move across the ice corner, steal the last two chips from the fireball, then sneak back around to the [[toggle wall]], pass the teleport, bust through the [[socket]] and move D''R'' 3D to avoid running into a glider as you exit.

Several things change when the mouse is used. The first ram is the harder of the two: to pull it off successfully, wait [1/2] before clicking [-R *D], which will cause [*D R] to function as a spring step. Make the following UL key moves ''very'' distinct, as otherwise the mouse will trigger during Chip's [1/2] wait and he will move -R when he lands.

The last change is at the very end: Chip has [6] to spare, [4] of which will contribute to increasing the time from 276.8 to 277.6. [1] has to be spent waiting for each of the toggle wall and trap to open, so push the block above the ball 4D onto the [[brown button]], which will erase both waits in return for a [1] loss and increase the time to 277.8. In addition to saving [1], this makes running to the exit much easier: overshooting the path out of the teleport by moving 2D off the socket will cause Chip to be killed, and having to wait [1] just before teleporting will make this mistake more likely since more factors are at work.
