The 100,000 points, AKA 100K trip, is the greatest shortcut in Kid Chameleon. Unlike the Plethora cheat, which saves a bigger distance, taking the lysergic 100K trip is not cheating, because the shortcut can be triggered 'accidentally'. Presumably, the idea behind the trip is that only advanced players can take the shortcut by achieving very high scores in the first levels, a skill that qualifies them to skip half of the game and go on to play more challenging rounds.
