Goo is usually present within testing chambers in order to provide a penalty for failure, and to ensure that test subjects are precise with their movements and positioning of their [[portals]].

Objects that have fallen into the goo are irretrievable. In such cases where testing elements like [[cubes]] are needed to solve a test, a replacement may be issued immediately if the first one was dropped into the goo (unless the [[Vital Apparatus Vent|dropper]] is activated by a button, in which case you may have to press the button again). On some occasions during ''[[Portal 2]]'', objects in the goo can be heard and seen [[Material Emancipation Grill|fizzling]] immediately after falling in, while in most, they will simply be deleted soon after they fall out of sight and are not being held on to.
Almost all objects that have fallen into the goo are irretrievable, with the only exception being radios which are light enough to float on the goo. In such cases where testing elements like [[cubes]] are needed to solve a test, a replacement may be issued immediately if the first one was dropped into the goo (unless the [[Vital Apparatus Vent|dropper]] is activated by a button, in which case you may have to press the button again).

Appearance-wise in ''[[Portal]]'', the goo appears as a mixture of red, green, and brown-colored liquid with a swirled appearance. As of ''Portal 2'', the goo appears to be mainly brown, often with smoke swirling around its presence like in ''Portal''.
