Pointless CC Trivia Thread

[Ihavenoname248]

Number of levels without blocks in CCLP1 - 0 as of this date.

63 as of this date.

The 81-90 decade has only 1 level without blocks, Starry Night.

The 41-50 decade has 8 levels without blocks- only Mughfe and Bombs Away! contain blocks.



Also, I took <a class="bbc_url" href="https://cczone.invisionzone.com/index.php?/topic/546-pointless-cc-trivia-thread/?p=17199">this post</a> as a challenge to see how many insanely stupid cooks were missed.

2. Naomi's Bug Collection You can use the 2 blocks at the start to trap a bug in front of a lock. This would be cookable even with one block by trapping the left bug n the space of the left red lock.

7. The Parallel Port You can cook this level by picking up the skates and then going back onto the thief.

10. Sudden Death You can cook this level by going on the force floor slide to the exit without all the chips.

12. Work Fast You can cook this level by going down to the thieves without the chips.

14. Chase Race You can cook this level by pressing "down" after picking up the skates, by teleporting to the right at any time or by leaving behind the chip in the teeth area.

19. Hurry Up, Chip! You can cook this level by following the block at (26, 8), or by releasing the glider and letting it get to the exit hallway first.

22. Planet of the Teeth Alright, you'd have to be TRYING to cook this one, but removing the blue lock and luring the teeth monster nearby into the teleport makes teleporting from the right from (16,15) a deathtrap. This makes the chip at (17, 16) inaccessible, permanently, cooking the level.

25. Loop Holes There are 4 red keys, 4 yellow keys and 4 blue keys in the level. There are 6 of each color lock. It's possible to spend every key on the locks in the corners and leave the chips at (13, 18) and (17, 18) unreachable.

28. Mads Rush II Pick up the skates, backtrack to the thief. Level cooked.

29. Fire Bugs Upon reaching the buried Chip tile, stepping any direction other than left seals off the flippers forever.


31. Frost Swirl Easily cookable by leaving any of the 3 same color key for key+chip trades for last.

33. Tutti-Frutti This level can be cooked by collecting both pairs of fireboots, then hitting the thief by the toggle switch without the chip at (0, 0) collected.

34. Loop This level can be cooked by leaving behind chips and hitting a thief, or by backtracking to a thief after getting the fireboots.

37. Oorto Gled II You have 4 blocks, and access to corners. This can trap the 2 fireballs, making some chips unobtainable. Another method would be directing fireballs onto a blocked teleport, making the exit unreachable. Another method would be just plugging a doorway with 2 blocks, making everything past it unreachable. Finally, you could just remove both sockets and replace them with blocks, making the exit unreachable for the truly determined cooker.

38. Paramecia Press right after stepping on the first thief.

40. Miscellaneous Another convoluted cook, but playing the level normally up to the flippers. Then clone gliders in such a way so that the tank button will be hit (preferably only once), which will trap Chip on the ice area. I have not tested this, but it should at least in theory be possible to cook the level in this way. It's a tough one to cook due to the bust

41. Gauntlet This level can be cooked by taing the block back through the blob room, blocking the glider cloners with it and then pushing it down. Then, clone a ton of gliders and eventually the ball/tank room will become impassable.

11. Race for the Chips Sorta kinda cookable by going for a chip in such a way so that the teeth will kill you, but the exact terminology is up for debate.

16.5: Ladder Needs a Wash Either this is cookable and Race for the Chips is cookable, or neither are.

24. Jungle Same reasoning as the other 2 levels down here.

30. Cra-zy I believe it would be possible to let the fireball room flood, making the exit unreachable, but surviving that long...it's another borderline case.

So, that's 41-17+1=25 uncookable CCLP2 levels by any definition. By the looser "can be trapped for a few moves before dying" definition, it drops to only 21. I think I'll compile a similar list for CCLP1 and CC1, since this is fun
