Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
Oddworld: Munch's Odyssey follows the unlikely duo of Abe and Munch as they team up to rescue their respective species' eggs from the Vykkers and Glukkons. The gameplay combines stealth, puzzle-solving, and action as the separated heroes navigate the hostile Fort Glokz stronghold to stop a polluting factory and liberate their people.
Story
Story Background
We first met Abe, hapless floor-waxer-become-hero, in Oddworld: Abe's Odyssey®, where he rescued his fellow Mudocons from RuptureFarms and struck a major blow to the Glukkons of the evil Magog Cartel.
Ancestral spirits showed him there was more to this business with his fellow Mudocons than met the eye. Because of this, in Oddworld: Abe's Exodus®, Abe had to save the remaining living Mudocons as well as the spirits of his Mudokon ancestors, destroying the SoulStorm Brewery bottlers in the process. It was a lot of work for a simple Mudokon like Abe, but in the end he was successful.
Munch and Abe's Journey
In Oddworld: Munch's Odyssey®, a new hero, Munch, is the last surviving Gabbit in Oddworld. Gabbits were an amphibious species that were hunted to the verge of extinction for their lungs and their eggs. Munch finds out that one can of Gabbilar (egad, them's Gabbit eggs!) remains, and that the Vykkers and Glukkons have it in their possession.
In much the same predicament, Abe needs to find the eggs containing his unborn Mudokon brothers, which just happen to be warehoused in Vykkers Labs. Abe can't break out his shell-shackled family without help from Munch and vice versa. Together, our heroes must find the eggs in order to save their respective species from total extermination.
The Mission at Break Wind Hill
After their success against the Vykkers and Glukkons, Munch and Abe were hoping for a bit of a break. Unfortunately, there is no rest for the weary, especially when you are savior of the Mudokon race.
Called to a meeting with The Almighty Raisin, Munch and Abe learn of Break Wind Hill, the sacred land of the Mudokon race. Protected by pure wind, the Mudokon race has lived here since ancient times, undisturbed by outsiders... until recently that is. The pollution caused by the greedy Glukkons' recent construction of Evenwurst Weenerz Co. has corrupted the protection of Break Wind Hill, allowing for many of Abe's fellow Mudokons to be captured and put to work as slave laborers.
The Almighty Raisin also informs Munch and Abe that the Glukkon™ stronghold, Fort Glokz, likely funds the factory. The Almighty Raisin orders Munch and Abe to stop the factory and liberate the wealth within Fort Glokz in order to restore peace to the sacred land-surely an easy task for Oddworld's veteran heroes, Munch and Abe!

Playing as Abe
Abe is more mobile on land than Munch, and he has a very useful ability: he can use his chanting power to regrow SpoceShrubs and possess enemies. Holding down the R Button near a harvested SpoceShrub will regrow the SpoceShrub.
Holding down the R Button (away from harvested SpoceShrubs) will activate Abe's possession orb. The possession orb can consume 1-4 Spoce. Once activated, use the Control Pad to direct it toward an enemy. When the possession orb touches an enemy, Abe will have complete control over it.
Playing as Munch
Munch is quite the aquabat as he swims to places Abe cannot possibly get to without drowning. Munch also has recently liberated Fuzzle followers that attack on command. In addition to all of this, Munch controls machinery with his headport.
Munch has the unique ability to activate machines. Use this power to free the Fuzzles from captivity. Position Munch in front of the Fuzzles and press the A Button. Once free, the Fuzzles will be sure to help Munch on his quest.

Spooce Energy and Quarma
In order to be successful on *Oddworld*, Munch and Abe need to build up their supplies of Spooce. They collect Spooce by harvesting SpooceShrubs. Spooce powers up Abe's natural abilities and lets both Munch and Abe access SpooceLocks. Rescuing Natives by sending them through Rescue Portals will also add to the amount of available Spooce energy.
At the behest of the Almighty Raisin, Mudokon Shaman are instructed to help Munch and Abe successfully complete their journey. This means our heroes are expected to rescue the innocent and exploited creatures of *Oddworld* and protect their friends. Rescuing these *Oddworld* friends brings Munch and Abe good Quarma. The more rescues performed, the better the Quarma.
