In Chip's Challenge, the death messages occur whenever any living Chip tile, defined as the moving Chip, any other Chip tiles, and the Swimming Chip, is killed. One of the following six messages will appear which notes what exactly happened. In occurrences of the Transparency Glitch, a random death message may be shown as part of the result caused by the crash. Chip's status is always kept by Chip's Challenge on coordinate [22, 32], which will allow the player to reset the status and avoid being killed by fatal obstacles.
