First, you will be given a performance score based on how well you did during the mission. Gadd will summon you back to the laboratory, at which point a few things will happen.

Luckily, the sublevels are never so long as to deter you from giving them another go, usually ranging between 15 to 30 minutes.Īt the end of the substage, E.

For instance, the common green ghost will sometimes wear pots and pan to bolster defence, or may even don sunglasses to reflect the flashlight. Ghosts come in many different varieties, shapes, and all have their own patterns of attack. At this point, you can fully suck up the ghost. Once you start sucking the ghost up, you will need to “wrangle” them like a fish on a line, until the number above their head reached zero.
