Gunge Run

Season 2 Location	The Factory
Season 3 Location	Storage Wing
First appearance	Industrial Zone 2

The Gunge Run is a dead-end corridor lined with inflatable material where various games are played. At the far wall, a number of props can be used but there are usually a set of wide funnels for pouring gunge into. In season 3, a knee-deep channel of gunge was added near the start of the corridor with a couple of inflatable mats placed across it to form unsteady bridges.

At the near end is a spherical machine (a pair of them in season 3) large enough to seat a contestant - the machine consists of two halves, which are a metallic blue base in the shape of a bowl and then a clear dome that sits on top of it. The clear dome can be lifted up along the pipe that juts down into the machine from the ceiling to allow players to be put in.

Various games can be played in the Gunge Run, but they usually involve ferrying gunge from the machine over to the funnels on the far wall. If not enough slime is poured into the funnels, a player is gunged in the machine as it fills up again.

In Industrial Zone 3, Kamo played a variant where he had to prevent as much gunge as possible from staying in the bowl after it fell from an overhead pipe. Industrial Zone 4 played the game mostly straight but made the gunge target Coco Button instead of the funnels.

The spherical machine at the head of the Gunge Run is based on an episode of the cartoon Spacecats where one of the main characters was gunged in a similar device, which Iron-K is about 50% sure he didn't hallucinate. This is also the reason the foodstuff-gunge in the Factory edition is referred to as "tapioca".
