It contains some deviations from Lynx, such as allowing backwards overrides and shortening [[splash delay]], but otherwise inherits its rules from Lynx, and can be assumed to inherit everything except where these deviations are explicitly pointed out. | ||

* [[Boosting]], [[slide delay]], [[cross-checking]], [[block echo]], [[ram]]s, [[flick]]s, and the [[monster order]] are all MS-exclusive mechanics. [[Block slapping]] and [[animation delay]] are examples of Lynx-exclusive mechanics. | * [[Boosting]], [[slide delay]], [[cross-checking]], [[block echo]], [[ram]]s, [[flick]]s, and the [[monster order]] are all MS-exclusive mechanics.

* In Lynx, when the exit is reached, the clock runs down for one more turn before stopping. It is therefore possible to complete a level in Lynx mode with 0 seconds remaining by exiting at the exact last possible moment, a feat which is not possible in MS. | * In Lynx, when the exit is reached, the clock runs down for one more turn before stopping.

* The [[Concussion Rule]] exists in all rulesets except CC2, where open traps are [[acting floor]] regardless of whether or not the released object can slide forward. | |||

* In MS, the connections between [[brown button]]s and [[trap]]s are explicitly specified by the level designer, but in the ''original'' Lynx, buttons are automatically connected to the next trap or machine in forwards wrappable [[reading order]]. [[Tile World]]'s Lynx mode behaves like the MS version unless run in Pedantic mode, in which case only a button with ''no'' connections will automatically establish the reading order rule. | * In MS, the connections between [[brown button]]s and [[trap]]s are explicitly specified by the level designer, but in the ''original'' Lynx, buttons are automatically connected to the next trap or machine in forwards wrappable [[reading order]]. [[Tile World]]'s Lynx mode behaves like the MS version unless run in Pedantic mode, in which case only a button with ''no'' connections will automatically establish the reading order rule. CC2 inherits its pedantic button connections from Lynx, but also introduces a [[wiring]] system for [[pink button|pink]] and [[black button|black]] buttons to allow for more complex connections. | ||
* In MS, a [[random force floor]] will randomly select one of the four directions. In Lynx, the random force floor will cycle through the directions in a clockwise manner throughout a play session, starting east, then south, then west, then north. | * In MS, a [[random force floor]] will randomly select one of the four directions.

* In Lynx, [[blue button]]s only apply to currently stationary [[tank]]s or tanks that are perfectly aligned with a tile. Therefore, a moving tank will only be able to be reversed on one out of every four frames. This is required in [[Paranoia]]. In MS, a blue button applies to all movable non-sliding tanks, with the exception of a glitch known as the [[Frankenstein Glitch]]. In the CC2 ruleset, blue buttons apply to all movable tanks. | * In Lynx, [[blue button]]s only apply to currently stationary [[tank]]s or tanks that are perfectly aligned with a tile.

* In CC2, the wall at [30, 10] is changed to water. Since the Concussion Rule is absent, this is necessary to prevent the ball above from moving back up after it's released from the trap a second time. | |||
