Aesthetic fix. (That's right, I did an edit just to remove a space in my last edit that I realized didn't look appealing. Would anyone have noticed? It doesn't matter, when it comes to my edits I have standards.


** The cursed artifact "Ali El-Baluu's Irksome Rug" is a clear shout-out to Aladdin, both because it's a literal flying carpet, and because the name of the owner is nearly the same name used by Aladdin's prince disguise (Ali El-Baluu, as opposed to Ali Ababwa). Additionally, the rug's owner was said to be a minor Persian magus [[note]]Which [[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/magus the other, other Wiki]] states is used to describe a fake magician.[[/note]] - though unlike the story, Ali is killed when he falls due to the rug dipping at around 9 stories high.

***One could, however, say this is a second, related shout-out to the fan theory that the magic carpet ride should have killed Aladdin and Jasmine.

Due to being set directly in the movie timeline, featuring many of the actors and including some story contribution from Aykroyd, for a time the game was considered the unofficial Ghostbusters 3. It has since been overwritten by the official continuation with ''Film/GhostbustersAfterlife'', though the game still offers a glimpse of the ghostbusting adventures shortly after the second film.

* GooItUp: There is an obstacle called "Black Slime", negatively charged slime that hurts you if you touch it. You are given a Slime Launcher to shoot positively charged green slime to neutralize it. You can also use the slime to tether objects together, using them to do various things such as pull platforms together, break crumbling walls down, or loosen things that were stuck in place. Many enemies can also cover you in slime, just like Peter was in the first movie. This negatively affects your movement speed, making it harder for you to avoid incoming attacks. Enemies can cover you and your fellow ghostbusters in the aforementioned black slime as well.

This is also their safest option when dealing with ghosts possessing humans, which either kicks out possessors or only hurts the Chairman Ghost when he holds Ilyssa hostage since he's made of black slime.
