Primordial Ooze

Primordial Ooze is a drink within the Monsters, Inc. universe and the main collectible in the Monsters, Inc. Scream Team video game.

Gameplay Functions
Primordial Ooze comes in cans of two colors. Green cans will increase the player's Ooze counter by one, while red cans will raise it by five. As with many platforming games, the player will receive an extra life for every 100 cans they collect. However, unlike other games, there is a different Ooze counter for each individual level. Collecting Ooze also fills up the player's Fright Meter, which is needed to progress through the game. The player cannot scare a Nerve of a certain color within the level unless they have filled the matching-colored section of their Fright Meter for that level.

Ooze is scattered throughout the entire game, usually either on the ground or floating in the air. Cans of it can also be produced by breaking open crates or by attacking certain environmental objects, such as the trash cans in City Park. If the player exits the level or earns a Bronze Medal, all Ooze cans within the level will respawn.
