The '''[[Melinda]] time''' is a term used to refer a time higher than the current [[bold time]] that theoretically could be obtained, but would require extreme luck and/or skill - often both - to obtain. They are almost always caused by the use of [[random element]]s.

| 146 || [[Cake Walk]] || 712 || 717 || Requires extreme luck with random [[force floor]]s near the end: [[Chip]] must push the [[block]] on them, and it must stay there long enough for him to open the [[red lock]] and move either DL or DR to safety. Whether 717 or a lower time is reached depends on whether the block arrives immediately after the DL/DR move or takes slightly longer. <!---What was the chance of success? I think David said it was something like 72/65,536, but I know it was something ending in 65,536...--->

== [[Skelzie]] ==
 
 
Skelzie is one special case: its bold route is 454.2, and with Chip's (2U) move to a [[green button]] possibly being covered by a blob, 455 ''may'' be possible. Whether the [[pink ball]]s remaining in the telenet that makes up the nine main rooms of the level will delay Chip longer than they do in the 454 route, and whether the [[Teleport Skip Glitch]] can even be used effectively with the different ball locations, are unknown because applying and executing the glitch is difficult - and limited to only MS play.

|-
 
| 119 || [[Teeth (CCLP2 level)|Teeth]] || 280 || 281 || Requires perfect luck to within [2] on the random force floors.
 
|-
 
| 140 || [[Keep Trying]] || 481 || Unknown || The Melinda time is difficult to calculate because of the large amount of random force floors and the erratic pattern of the [[toggle wall]]s. When the bold was 476, the time was calculated as 488, but improvements in the non-random area of the level have left this total indefinite.
