Now it's up to Casper and Dr.
Harvey's daughter, Kat, to find a way to rescue Dr.
To accomplish this task, they must find seven cellular integrator capsules located throughout the Whipstaff Manor.
Once found, the capsules can be used in the Lazarus Machine.
This machine has the power to cure Dr.
Harvey from his predicament.
Players take control of a floating Casper, who is followed by Kat throughout the Manor.
Gameplay consists of Casper picking up items that he will be able to morph into, enabling him to fight off various enemies and to also assist Kat in getting through the mansion unscathed.
Examples of some of the items Casper can turn into are a butterfly net, a pillow, and a plunger.
Casper also has the ability to turn invincible as a defensive maneuver.
Casper can leave the screen that Kat is on, but if he strays too far away from her, she will be abducted by a ghost.
About Game Boy Advance
Nintendo's Game Boy Advance (2001) offered near-SNES-level graphics in a handheld and became a home for excellent ports as well as original titles across nearly every genre. GBA cartridges are generally durable and plentiful, making it an approachable platform for new collectors, though a few late-release RPGs and limited exclusives have become genuine chase items.
Gamevaro tracks Casper for Game Boy Advance with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Casper to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This GBA release dates back to 1997.

Market insights
Rarity & condition
Casper has a steady sales history on the tracked marketplaces, meaning enough copies circulate to establish a reliable market price.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
