Bubble Ghost needs to blow a bubble out of his creator's castle. Your task is to guide him so as to direct the bubble through the gaps in each room. The bubble's direction is affected by which part of the ghost hits it. Candles, fans, and other obstacles serve to make little Bubble Ghost's task harder. Bubble Ghost is invincible, but the bubble is prone to bursting if it hits anything at pace. You have five bubbles before the game is over.
The gameplay revolves around navigating the bubble through increasingly complex levels, using your knowledge of the ghost's movements to avoid obstacles and make progress. The game requires a combination of strategy and quick reflexes to succeed, as you try to get the bubble out of the castle while avoiding its inevitable demise.

Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a puzzle-action game where players guide a delicate bubble through a trap-filled castle as a ghost. The ghost cannot directly touch the bubble, instead moving it by blowing on it. The goal is to safely navigate all 35 halls and exit the castle with the bubble intact.
Story
Story
A Ghost lives in an old castle filled with spacious but potentially dangerous halls. The Ghost enjoys playing with bubbles, which are light and easily broken. If a bubble is even lightly touched, it bursts.
The challenge is for the Ghost to stay clear of the many traps and safely get out of the castle with his bubble.
There are 35 halls in this castle. Halls 14 and 21 are connected irregularly. Room A on the map is an honorary hall where top scores are recorded.
The cheerful, playful Ghost haunts the castle and amuses himself by playing with bubbles. For fun, he takes a bubble inside the castle.
When this adorable Ghost tries to take the bubble out again, he has lots of trouble. It's a very delicate, breakable bubble, so he lightly moves it with his breath.
The castle is filled with tricks, and the challenge is for the Ghost to guide the bubble through the castle to safety. He cannot touch the bubble directly to move it; he can only move it indirectly by breathing on it.
This is a new type of puzzle-action game that makes you impatient, but also becomes addictive as it draws you to the many levels.

Rules of the Game
If anything touches the bubble, it bursts, so the Ghost must move the bubble by blowing on it lightly. When the bubble bumps into a castle wall, or touches any of the many hazards, it will break. The Ghost can touch anything and will not be affected.
There are a total of 35 rooms, called halls, to maneuver through. If the Ghost successfully navigates all 35 halls and leaves the castle with the bubble, the game is finished.
Moving the Bubble
The Ghost can blow on the bubble from 8 directions. The direction the bubble will move is determined by the location of the Ghost relative to the bubble. For instance, if the Ghost is behind the bubble and blows forward, the bubble will move forward.
You get points according to the movement of the bubble. If the bubble is blown from a different direction when the bubble is moving, it will change to the new direction.
To Blow Continuously
If you hold down Button A, the Ghost will continue blowing until he loses his breath. His face appears to get all red.
If You Make a Mistake
If the bubble touches a wall, any trap, the heat of a candle, or the breeze of a fan, it will easily break. The Ghost will then become angry and turn somersaults.
Continue
Even after the Ghost has popped all his bubbles, if you don't turn the game off, you may continue from where you left off. Press Continue using the + Button, and begin in the hall where the game ended.
You can only use the Continue function two times.
About the Point System
If the bubble is blown past all the traps to the exit, then you have cleared the hall. You receive 4,000 points each time you clear a screen plus 20 points times the hall number.
β’
Example: hall number 21 x 20 = 420 points.
Bonus Points
The standard time to clear a hall is one minute. For bonus points, the number of seconds remaining when you clear the hall is multiplied by 50.
Plus, each time you find an event (putting out a candle or turning off the fan), you get a bonus of 4,000 points.
Events
In the hall mazes, there are hidden objects or events which can give you bonus points. If you think you see something suspicious, try blowing. Each time you move the bubble through one level (i.e.: 6 through 11), you get another ghost player.
