* MooksButNoBosses: There are MechaMooks in all levels, and the objective in each level is to scare the mechanical dummies (Nerves) to earn medals. However, there are no bosses of any sort; not even Randall, who is challenged via races and you simply have to reach the goal first (collecting a specific amount of coins is also necessary). It's also justified, because this game is a prequel to the ''WesternAnimation/MonstersInc'' movie, and the actual confrontation between Randall and the starring duo doesn't happen until the climax of said movie.

Ski Lift has a frozen pond from which some piranhas jump between the holes, as well as a ski lift that is needed to move between places and a slope where one can slide. The Iceburg takes place in a series of icebergs in the midst of a cold ocean during night, and care is required to time the jumps to avoid falling onto the cold water; it's also possible to enter the igloos through a limited-time entrance, where some collectibles and Nerves can be found. Finally, Hot Springs is a snowy cavern where some stalactites fall down (and are harmful) and water geysers are used to reach high areas.
