I would definitely clean it off.

 

 

As was said, clean it off, and be careful.

Yes use the rubbing alcohol. TP alone would not get the CPU cleen enough

The year is 20XX. Everyone plays Fox at TAS levels of perfection. Because of this, the winner of a match depends solely on port priority. The RPS metagame has evolved to ridiculous levels due to it being the only remaining factor to decide matches.

Only Abate, Axe, and Wobbles can save us.

The alcohol gets rid of the adhesion to the CPU.

It's necessary.

If you can't get rubbing alcohol just use nail varnish remover as it's much easier to find.
