Monsters, Inc. Scream Team is a 3D action-platformer released for the PlayStation in 2001, developed by Artificial Mind and Movement. Set before the events of the Pixar film, you take control of Mike Wazowski and James P. “Sulley” Sullivan as they train at the Monsters Academy on Scare Island. Your goal is to graduate as top Scarers by navigating obstacle courses and terrifying robotic Nerve Dummies. Mike is agile and can launch himself through the air or roll through small gaps, while the heavy-hitting Sulley can use his strength to smash crates and push large objects.
How to Play
The objective in each zone is to collect Monster Tokens and successfully scare Nerve Dummies to earn bronze, silver, and gold medals. Approach a dummy and press the scare button to fill its scare meter; advanced dummies require you to input specific button combinations in a rhythm mini-game.
Controls: Use the D-pad to move. Press X to jump, Square to scare, and Circle to attack (Mike's roll or Sulley's tail whip). In the browser emulator, the D-pad maps to the arrow keys, with the face buttons typically mapped to Z, X, A, and S, and Enter for Start.
Tips
- Switch characters strategically: You can swap between Mike and Sulley at designated warp pads. Use Mike's speed and double-jump for tricky platforming sections, and switch to Sulley when you need to move heavy obstacles or survive tougher hazards.
- Gather Primordial Ooze: You cannot scare every dummy right away. Collect the colored cans of Primordial Ooze hidden across Scare Island to unlock the stronger scare tactics required for heavily armored Nerve Dummies.
- Watch the rhythm: Scaring isn't just mashing a button. When executing an advanced scare, watch the on-screen prompts and press the corresponding buttons in time to maximize your scare meter.
