Chapter 2 is the second chapter of World of Goo. The title of the chapter is "Little Miss World of Goo." This chapter introduces a few new species of Goo, such as Water Goo and Beauty Goo. Because Chapter 1 takes place in summer, Chapter 2 takes place in fall, the chronologically following season. The story-line of this chapter is revealed in second level, where World of Goo Corporation turns out to be searching for a new power source after the windmills failed to provide enough energy to power the world, an unknown "POWER SOURCE" is repeatedly mentioned throughout the chapter by the Sign Painter as you work through the chapter, it once powered the world, but for one reason or another, it doesn't work anymore. Eventually, this leads up to the level Genetic Sorting Machine, which, upon completion, unlocks Chapter 3.
Chapter ending[]
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
After clearing the last level of Chapter 2, a cutscene plays. In the cutscene the "giant lady thing", (the only thing she is ever referred to as) is shown waking up, with text scrolling slowly at the side of the screen explaining that for many years, her tremendous "Beauty juice" powered the world. Unfortunately, as she grew older, her Beauty and energy started to die. Thanks to the player's actions, however, her beauty has been restored through cosmetic surgery and raw BEAUTY PRODUCT, and though she cannot move her face, this causes the world to fill with energy again. This energy, among other things, opens up a factory in the south.
The text reads as follows:
"The last of the Goo Balls discovered...
...the giant lady thing was a living electric generator.
And that BEAUTY was a highly reactive liquid chemical.
Like gasoline.
Or turpentine.
For years, her Beauty juice powered the entire world!
But as the world grew older, so did she
And when her Beauty dried up, so did her electrical output.
Until tonight...!
With fabulous new cosmetic surgery options,
and raw BEAUTY PRODUCT injected DIRECTLY INTO HER FOREHEAD,
the signs of age melted away!
...even though she couldn't move her face because of all the chemicals, the BEAUTY GENERATOR WAS BACK!
A truly sustainable energy solution!
All around the world, lights glowed brighter!
Power meters spun faster!
Electrical lines surged with youthful energy!
...a factory opens in the south..."
