Nail: Difference between revisions

The basic nail formation has been used as a device in various levels since the release of [[Chip's Challenge 1|CC1]], though it is not officially used in any CC1 levels. Since getting across column 7 of the force floors in [[Mixed Nuts]] requires a 2R move at 10 [[m/s]] and it was likely to miss the [[teleport]] into the exit the first time, requiring a second pass through this section, the blocks in the room to its right (unusable anywhere else) were initially used as a safety measure (to avoid possible death by [[bomb]]) or as a guaranteed path across after seven blocks. This is no longer necessary, since death is exceedingly unlikely and if the teleport is overshot to the right, Chip can step D into it and still reach the exit.

In CCLP2, the nail is officially named by Wormwood, but it also appears in other levels. There are more examples inside [[bold time]] routes, but most of these are unnotable occurrences.
