Play Casper (E)(Rocket) Online

Game Overview

Playing as Casper on the GBA feels like stepping into a Saturday morning cartoon version of a haunted house—except you're the ghost, and you're weirdly polite about it. You float through creaky mansions, turning invisible to sneak past grumpy caretakers or solve puzzles by moving objects with your ectoplasm. There's something hilarious about watching Casper try (and fail) to be scary, like when he "boos" someone and they just laugh at him.

The platforming isn't super hard, but the puzzles keep it interesting—like figuring out how to possess a suit of armor to reach high ledges or helping the human kid characters by clearing obstacles. The whole thing has this cozy, slightly janky early-2000s vibe, complete with pixelated cobwebs and a soundtrack that sounds like a theremin got stuck in a music box. If you've got nostalgia for the movie or just want a platformer that doesn't take itself seriously, this one's a surprisingly fun little time capsule.
