'''Nuts and Bolts''' is the ninth level in [[Chip's Challenge 1]], and is usually considered to be the first true level of the game. It is significantly harder than the previous eight levels, due to the combination of everything learned so far, and some markedly harder sections. All eight training levels are represented at least once.

After collecting the [[yellow key]] at the start, the optimum route is to hold down the R key after entering the [[Yellow lock|yellow lock]], as this will cause Chip to hit the only fake [[blue wall]] in the panel. However, do not hold the key down too long, else [[block]] 3 will be pushed R, making the next section take longer. After [[Boosting|boosting]] over the [[ice]], hit the [[green button]] twice (boosting off the [[force floor]]), which will allow Chip to collect the [[blue key]] and enter the [[Blue lock|blue lock]] without waiting. After exchanging the keys, it is necessary to wait [1/2] (although [1] is simpler and costs nothing) to avoid colliding with a [[fireball]] on the ice. After the ice slide, collect the upper chip (as this is the one that the [[Bug|bugs]] are away from), then the chip surrounded by blue walls (the south one is the only fake). Now go down to the room below the bug room - this contains a [[Sokoban level|Sokoban]] puzzle with 4 blocks that are used to explode a row of 4 [[Bomb|bombs]], leading to the chips (including one under a block). Collect the last chip from the bug room, then go through the [[socket]].

The level ends with a fireball stuck on a [[trap]] that blocks the [[exit]] out. If Chip steps on the [[brown button]], he won't be able to get over himself. The solution, hinted at by [[Melinda]]'s final sentence of her [[Special dispatch]], is to cover the button with the given block, which releases the fireball and gets Chip over the trap.

== [[Special dispatch]] from Melinda ==
''Dear Chip, In order to outsmart the [[spies]], I built a secret [[Blue wall|wall panel]], but I can't remember where I put it. I also added a lot of anti-spy [[bomb]]s. If you come across any, detonate them with blocks. Blocks are also great for holding open bear traps. Sincerely, Melinda.''
