Ghostbusters II on NES can feel random when you only remember it as one big blur of slime, traffic, and Vigo. It gets easier once you see the stage order clearly and understand what each scene is asking from you.
This page is the quick-reference version of that. Think of it as the map before the full walkthrough.
Scene 1: Tunnel of Slime
The Van Horne sewer opener is about forward pressure. Keep moving, keep firing, and do not let the chasing spider-creature turn hesitation into a lost life.
Scene 2: Hitting the Road
The first Ectomobile scene teaches lane control, jumping, and the basic power-up system. If you drive like a maniac here, the game punishes you quickly.
Scene 3: Order in the Court
The courthouse shifts back to on-foot action and asks for calmer spacing than the driving stage you just left.
Scene 4: Ghosts in the Park
The second driving scene builds on everything from the Tenements and expects better timing.
Scene 5: Subway Slime
Another on-foot pressure scene. Stay composed, keep reading the low and high threats correctly, and avoid turning every enemy into a scramble.
Scene 6: The Statue of Liberty Strikes Back
The harbor sequence is the first big Libby scene. Torches matter, and the book bomb exists for a reason.
Scene 7: Storming the Museum
The Statue of Liberty keeps marching. The game still wants crowd control, steady aim, and smart use of your tools.
Scene 8: Vigo
The final fight plays out across four Ghostbusters. The game is testing whether you can stay composed all the way to the end.
