Ghosts are uncommon enemies that only appear in [[Creepy Castle]]. They try to attack the active [[Kong]] by simply running at them. Unlike other enemies, Ghosts do not respawn often unless the Kongs re-enter the stage. When a Ghost sees the active Kong, it makes a sound and slowly charges at them. Ghosts share their weakness with Kritters and take a single hit to defeat.
