Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is an action-adventure game where players control Casper the friendly ghost. The goal is to rescue his ten friends, who have been scattered across the world by an evil spell, by collecting map pages and defeating bosses. Players will navigate various locations, overcome obstacles, and ultimately reach a bonus level in Atlantis.
Story
Casper's Journey
The king of spooks has cast an evil spell on Casper's mortal friends that sends them to different locations all over the world. It is your job to help Casper rescue his ten lost pals and bring them home safely.
Armed with the first of ten map pages, find the rest and each will lead you to a friend. Along your heroic trek, you will have to defeat three evil bosses to collect the pieces of the imprisoning device that sent Casper's friends away.
Collect everything and you will advance to the special bonus level in the lost city of Atlantis!
Beware, because your journey will be long and you will encounter things that block your path such as unfriendly uncles, tacky tourists, boo bombs, and king of spooks himself, Kibosh!

OBJECTIVES
As Casper makes his way through a level, there are several objectives:
•
CASPER MUST AVOID DANGER. In every level, there are highly dangerous hazards that may cause Casper to lose a TRY. There are unfriendly ghosts, which Casper must dissolve and BOO BOMBS which are scattered throughout each level to stop Casper. Stand back and use Casper's Ghostly Spheres to harmlessly explode the Boo Bombs.
•
CASPER MUST COLLECT THE PAGE. In each game level, there is a hidden book which will take you to the FIND-A-PAGE GAME. Casper must complete the game to collect the page that will help him locate the next stop on his journey. When the game is set on Easy, Casper only needs to find the friend to advance to the FIND-A-PAGE GAME.
•
CASPER MUST FIND HIS FRIEND. Casper's FRIEND is hidden somewhere within each level. If Casper collects the PAGE and finds the FRIEND, he will exit the level.
•
CASPER CAN COLLECT FRIENDSHIP CRYSTALS. Forty FRIENDSHIP CRYSTALS are scattered throughout each level. If Casper collects all of the FRIENDSHIP CRYSTALS in the entire game before finding the last friend, he advances to a SPECIAL BONUS LEVEL at the end of the journey.
•
CASPER MUST FIND THE 3 MISSING PIECES OF KIBOSH'S IMPRISONING DEVICE. If Casper earns all three pieces by defeating The Ghostly Trio™™, then all 10 of his friends will get back home safely.
BOSS LEVELS
There are four Boss Levels that Casper must face on his journey. The Boss Levels are very short, but very difficult. In the first 3 Boss Level, Casper faces a member of The Ghostly Trio™.
If Casper defeats the ghost in a Boss Level, he will be rewarded with a vital piece of the Imprisoning Device needed to free his friends. If all of the pieces of the Imprisoning Device are collected, Casper will advance to the SPECIAL BONUS LEVEL where he will battle the King of Spooks himself, Kibosh!
FIND-A-PAGE GAME
Hidden in each level, there is a book that will lead the way to a FIND-A-PAGE GAME. In the FIND-A-PAGE GAME, Casper takes the shape of a paddle at the bottom
