'''Madness II''' is the 68th level in [[Chip's Challenge Level Pack 2]]. Unlike the rather simple [[Madness I]], also by Dave Borgman, Madness II requires instant responses, exact timing, some luck, and some logic.

−

Clone one block and cover it, then clone two blocks, move the extant block D, and remove the dirt, then clone three blocks, wait half a move, and remove the dirt with RL. Stop the third block from moving with a R, then play DR, and now two different moves will be required depending on the emulation: in MS, play LR as the block will continue sliding, and in [[Tile World]], play ULR, as the block will not slide on its own. (There is no extra cost in the latter move because you are taking a boost to catch up with the other theoretical path.)

−

Whichever one you did, step L to move the last remaining block, then clone ''six'' blocks, move the loose block D, remove the dirt, and play LUR [1/2] DU in similar fashion to the last one. Continue [1/2] DUR [1/2] DUD, the last of which jams the block onto the wall, remove the dirt, and again either LU or U depending on the emulation. Remove that last dirt, play the loose block R, then collect the [[red key]] to the left before moving the block onto the train. Collect the hidden goodies in both alcoves, then move to the next area.

−

Above the start, hidden in the center of the bouncing [[pink ball]]s, is a pair of [[suction boots]]. Play down to the circling [[fireball]]s for two chips, then into the [[red lock]] and over the [[red button]], which will unfortunately begin to clone [[walker]]s.

−

Collect the two chips nearest, then collect the chip on the top and the other two in either order, or the bottom chip and then the top and middle, as the walkers dictate, and then move to the southwest corner to collect the four chips. On the way out, try to steal the chip in the north-west corner; it's not as unlikely as it seems. (Up to two moves can be lost with no cost.) To reach the 277 Melinda score, the route through this section is, off the red button, 3D 6L 2R 5D 4L, taking the other two on the way out, but the chance of this is infinitesmally low.

−

Now, run to the top of the level, past the ball on the [[brown button]], and sneak into the second ball room, this time with hidden [[flippers]]. Move across the ice corner, steal the last two chips from the fireball, then nestle into the changing [[toggle wall]] near the start, and hold south until you reach the gravel, which busts through the [[socket]]. Turn R to avoid running into a glider (you'd hate that now, right?), then exit below.
