'''Melinda''', often known in full as '''Melinda the Mental Marvel''', is the in-game creator of the [[Chip's Challenge]] clubhouse, and the president of the [[Bit Busters Club]] which [[Chip]] aspires to gain access to. | '''Melinda''', often known in full as '''Melinda the Mental Marvel''', is the in-game creator of the [[Chip's Challenge]] clubhouse, and the president of the [[Bit Busters Club]] which [[Chip]] aspires to gain access to. | ||

Melinda works for the most part as Chip would, with a couple of exceptions: she can always walk on ice as if she had [[ice skates]], but cannot enter dirt or gravel tiles without [[hiking boots]]. She can unlock [[yellow door]]s without losing a [[yellow key]], but loses [[green key]]s when unlocking [[green door]]s. | Melinda works for the most part as Chip would, with a couple of exceptions: she can always walk on ice as if she had [[ice skates]], but cannot enter dirt or gravel tiles without [[hiking boots]].

The story of how Chip's Challenge occurred differs between [[MS ruleset|MS]] and [[Lynx ruleset|Lynx]]. In MS, Chip was obsessed with the Bit Busters Club, willing to do anything to join, and Melinda would eventually accede - provided that Chip could pass her Challenge. In Lynx, the main goal of the game is instead to convince Melinda to come to the "E-Prom" (a pun on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPROM EPROM]) with him, after Chip saw Melinda for the first time and fell in love at first sight. Melinda agreed to go with Chip if he passes her Challenge. He also became a member of the Bit Busters Club at the end of the challenge. | |||

As she is a mental marvel, Melinda keeps track of the player's scores through the entire game and delivers encouraging [[special dispatch]]es along the way. As Melinda is a rewarding type of person, she will allow Chip to skip a level if he is killed or restart the level 10 times after walking or sliding over 32 tiles. When this happens, a window will pop up reading the following: "''You seem to be having trouble with this level. Would you like to skip to the next level?''" Clicking ''Yes'' will unlock the next level. <!---Does it work differently on level 144?---> | As she is a mental marvel, Melinda keeps track of the player's scores through the entire game and delivers encouraging [[special dispatch]]es along the way.

Melinda is also referred to in scoring purposes as the always-present leader of the CC high score list. The official high score tables write the Melinda time at the top of the page, above the [[Public TWS|public time]]. For an example, see [https://scores.bitbusters.club/levels/cc1/23 the Blobnet scoreboards.] | |||
Melinda | The ''Melinda score'', known on the scoreboards as the ''Known theoretical max'', is the [[bold time]] on every level plus any [[Melinda time]]s: potential improvements which are possible, but have not yet been scored. | ||
