Casper

About

In Casper for the Super Nintendo, you control the ghostly hero tasked with keeping Kat Harvey safe from threats. As a ghost, you can walk through walls but stay close to Kat to prevent Carrigan’s ghost from taking her. The game lets you pick up special items to transform into objects that clear obstacles and shield Kat from dangers. Environments mix mansion interiors and outdoor areas connected by mirrors and power lines where you collect scattered toys. The game adapts mechanics from A Boy and His Blob with its object transformation system. Players navigate levels by using mirrors to jump between sections and grab electric bolts to transform and reach new areas. The challenge comes from balancing protection and exploration while avoiding hazards. Released in 1997, it remains a niche entry in the platformer genre with a focus on puzzle driven progression.
